our government. The voice of the people
has invariably refused sanction to its most lib

OF that party. once proud and powerful, but
now entirely disorganized, would be virtually a
revival of all the vexed questions that so long
disturbed the peace and progress of this grow

tons now forms part of the fixed policy of the
nation, and the history of governments show
