good sense aud firm faith of the people OF the eoOb
Try, ard tie great ptihciples OF our tsity, that
have sustained us like the Gulf stream in mid ocean
unchanged and disoernible. The municipal law by
which Albany attempted 10 rule New York, Mr. s. said
was a work of malicious calculation. IL the intent
of its trainers to run close TO the constitution almost
10 defy the effort to detect the wrongto keep the la
of the fundamental law, but violate the spirit In
country governed by law and not by force, all laws should
DO SO clearly within the power OF the law-makng
yention as to lead to nodispute The democracy give ih
constitutional laws wide berth but the trainers Of this
outrage drove the car Of legislation close up TO the edge
OF the procpiee whilst the road miles wide on the
other side He said the decision Of Judge DEMO was no
more than this that by great study and art the pub
cans had contriyed TO keep within the letter of the law
and Judge who will not bend jot TO meet his own
personal Wishes and who in the duty Of his judicial imc
tons dare offend his friends, is judge for sech
time as this When the laws Of Rome demand
ed that the laws made by the Epperors should he
written and nailed up in some public place. Calgus
caused the laws TO be written in fine hand, that they
could not be read and then nailed them column loo
feet high! Judge friendly to the people would have
been compelled to decide that the Emperor had kept the
letter Of the law. But the inamy Of the Outrage would
have been deepened by the malicious arrangement 10
evade popular rights and strike down popular liberty

those democrats who joined the republicans the zeal they

have President whose long life of craftsmanship whose
commanding talents nwaycrng fidelity to the Of
popular rights tells its tale when crowned heads
meet for consultation BY his side stand counsellors
whose early home in the forest wilds, and whose
slumbes disturbed by the savage whoop, and
whose commanding ability the country has often called
