beyond cayil or doubt when once are broken
down the restraints Of law and the Constitution,
no matter with what purpose, the final victory |
will inure to the passionate, the unprincipied
and the desperate. Doubtless the neblest pur- |
poses inspired many OF those whose position and |
character enabled them to give the impulse
to that resolution, which left the fairest coun-
try Of Europe prey TO the mest perfect anarchy
under which any large State ever so long exist
ed, . revolution, in all coming time, to furnish
illustration of the terrible evils Of anafchy
But they found, what all such must find, that
to raise the storm was quite smother thing than
the government Of it. 5ssesE ..,ft = 1
:. Then was keen sense of the philosophy Of
human nature at the bottom of the quiet but tri-
umpant ejaculation Of Mark Anthony when hav-
ing aroused the passions Of the multitude, he
stood with folded arms the satisfied observer of
his success. eNow let it work: Micshief thou
art a fool; Take thou what coure thou wilt"
Eolus might unloose, indeed, the whirivind
but once on its course Of desolation, he was as
powerless to govern it as the infant Of years.
These reflections showing the importance Of
the preservation Of the ascendancy of law, show
too how much the judiciary to which is assigned
this duty is, nevertheless dependent upon the
public sentiment and cooperation.
With powers never so ample to protect itself
it would be, to say nothing of the painful predic
ament Of hostility with any portion Of the peo-l
pie, to ohazard the augmentation of difficulties to
feel itself obliged to Invoke its authority in such
a contest.
But it is against those Of modified, not of
aggravated enormity that sound and patriotic
sentiment Of the citizen ought to guard. The
is so appalling that it is scarcely needful to
suggest precaution-its hideous mien impels
| at once to the most desperate resistance. Il is
| to those presented under insidieus guize, with
plausible exterior, in the name of sympathy with
the general welfare, to those apparently rem
dered necessary as protection and defence, to
those only any antidote will need to be applied
| Coming from every part of our beloved coun-
try and here casting a common lot it will not be
| deemed Inappropriate to have offered sugges-
tions upon a subject so deeply interesting to
US all. Nor will it be supposed that such
suggestions are prompted by the remotest ap-
prehension Of the existence of feeling of sym
| pathy with disorder.
! I should suppress feelings and convictions
which have warmed nv heart with the most
grateful emotions, If sould not, beside simple
disclaimer of such fears add my positive testimo-
ny. the result of very considerable means of OBJ
servation, confirmed by the frequent remark OF
gentlemen entitled to my highest respect, that
our beautiful Territory is being populated with
a class Of men of whom every thing may be ex-
pected rather than disorganization anarchy.
Enterprise, intelligence, honorable sentiment,
country and hospitality, all crowned with per-
| Vading attachment to our beloved Union, will be
found wherever the pioneer has reared the abin
/ to protect him from the storm. es
i He would indeed have quick reason to correct
his Judgment who should judge the occupant by

of the proverb, all is not gold that glitters, is
no less true.
Should any, therefore, leaving the refnements
and elegant intercourse of social life,where soci-
etv has long since assumed all the attractions of
an established system and order, fancy that, in
winding his way far up toward the source Of the
magnificent river above waters murmuring in our
ears as they wash with an unceasing flow, the
/ eastern border of our land of promise, as they
had washed it when only the savage and his

such fancy that virtue, intelligence and the kind
ly sentiments and patriotic emotions on all to be
left behind them, let them be as once and for

| Let them know that with the concession that
| they will find less of that species of elegance
which only time can provide, that which is ex-
hibited in the proportions OF architecture, and
the adornment of taste, and less of those luxu-
ries provided to crafty sated and perhaps cor
rupted appetite. We have admitted all that we
lean. -. =, sr-.t7.s
But let them know, too, that even in such an
admission there is nothing that implies inferior
ity of enjoyment, because we can offer to them,
| instead, that which they have not hitherto
found, climate whose breath is balm-a soil
whose fertility is wealth, aface of country gaz-
/ ing upon which from every elevation hill rises
upon hill and valley with valley mingles, as far
I as the the eye can reach, while over all is
/ spread in unrfvalled beauty and fragrance ver-
dure Of the richest and most variegated loyeli-

i But let us not forget in momentary enthu-
Islam, the point to which ont attention was dree-
ted. Let us not while disclaiming all apprhen-
sion forget but return, stimulated by the glories
i Of our heritage, remember with enhanced re-
solves, that it is not enough to feel guarded a
lgainst immediate danger.
4 It is beyond all this if abiding interest that
position and mutual respect and confidence be
I cherished in the breasts of all.
4 This Is the more necessary that the clrcum-
stances our migration hither have nessarily pro-
i daced a community in which, home henceforth
there shall be a. unity of interest, and ought
and must be an identity Of habit, and yet there
must be no inconsiderable variety Of thought and
i feeling. Irefer h.re to the dispositions Of the
fevil persons that may come here.
4 Shall not, however, we ind in the noble for
tune accorded Us, to uprear fabrick Of which
Natl ndtorum tsQHi nGsceBtun db ills, may
thereafter feel just and honorable pride, ample
stimulus to good, at once, the outposts of en-
fcroachment, and to devote ourselves with all
Eearnestness to the great work of positive pro-
1 gression.
Having not been 10th to set high standard,
to which to seek to elevate the character of this
Court, and being free to pledge firm determin-
4ation to devote all my energies to its accomplish
fment, I feel the more at liberty to invoke Coop
Grafton as only corresponding concession in a
u common effort to advance the welfare of the
icitizens Of the Territory, with whose fate, for
1weal or woe, we have identified our own.

linEthe bre2sts Of all those who have committed
their interests fer the voyage of life to the same
Epstied bark 1shsll feel no lingering doubt that,
though but now lauRched, she will careen as
heavily upon the eb6somaof the sea- as any of her
predecessors sitting as gracefully in calm, and
