THE DIGNITY AND RESPONSIBILITY OF
AN AMERICAN CITIzEN.-The Washington
Union we'll ssys:
"It is the glory Of our American republic
that each one Of its citizens is a per. Of the
government, and as such responsible for its
action. He has no right to neglect the do
ties which this citizenship casts upon him.
He lives under free government, and while
he shares its benefits he is bound TO do his
bes. TO continue end perpe.ua,e il. Hence,
he is expected TO mingle annually in public
affairs. He is expected to vote himself and
10 influence the votes of others. He is ex-
pected to keep himself informed in respect
to men end measures, so that when called
upon 10 act he can act inteIligen,Iy. There
are those who complain sometimes of the
noise and tumul' of political strife. For our
own part, we rejoice in them. They indicate
people jealous Of their rights, and Wig liant
in maintaining them. No spectacle is more
grand than that Of q great nation engaged
earnestly in the work of selecting its frs,
officer. The newspapers run rio, at lines,
the orators occasionally exsggeraie, end the
stream OF discussion grows frequently lit
tie turbid and swollen; but these are ONLY
the slight excuses of wise system, and
scarcely weigh feather agsins. the system
itself They are never Witnessed in despol-
lsms; but woe unto The republic 10 which
important elections are determined without
debate end Without excitement! There car
be no republican government without The
element OF "populat choice" and there Cal
be no intelligent exercise of''topular choice
wi'hou. knowledge and without discus.
sion"
These are sound views, and we'll put. !
