Tor popular favor are announced, the public have
right 10 demand the grounds upon which such
| show OF title 10 their patronage is made. In ac-
acknowledgement OF this, we trace the customs oi
parties in The avowal of principles of religious
sects, IN The PRONUNCIATION OF creeds; and of per-
sons IN oil pursuits of life, dependent upon the
OF plans and purposes. The customs thus origin
ating, though sometimes abused, are useful and
proper, and should not be discarded And when,
IN obedience 10 custom, new plans are proposed,
those approving ought not 10 withhold their en-
couragemcnt as too many do, until they see that
success IL sure, for their aid may be needed TO
secure IT, Such foolish policy as this ieopar-
dies The plan they approve, and hasiens its failure
u has defeated many important enterprises, and
has deprived the country of good and useful works
II new proposition OF any kind is approved by
the public, the support of those approving is OF
right expected, their approval being solicited only
in the view that their more substantial aid will
not be withheld
