politics heretofore, Is not as hopeful to some
progressive minds as the ~power--ihe seeming

teaches the necessity Of toisrating extremes,
even 10 politics, in order to secure a just mean.

irene position Of isolation It was Dot from
choice. but from the force Of the patriotic
principles which regulated her action, like the
balance wheel, whose motion, peculiar, and 70
