The American Revolution was the sole
result Of violation OF the principle Of
Mans Equality. The Aristocratic 0ligar-
ehy of Great Britain determined 70 Tux
the Colonies without allowing them the
Franchise Of Representation, which they
sought to wrest from them 10 violation Of
MdgnG ChdTta.
The Colonies resisted. They had fed
from the mother countries. They dad
sought in awilderness that Equality which
was s.denied them at home. For more than
an hupdred years they had struggled
agdihst poverty, sickness, savage hostilitics,
aud alR the privatiohs aud dangers incident

that Che old Aristocracy could impose taxes

they had no members there 10 guard their
interests, every object for which they bad
endured 50 much, and struggled so man
fully In the New World, was lost; and they
would be no better of than if they had
never hed. They could secho reason why
they should toll and sweat for the DroueI
