THs HIGuER LAw.-In the 1T
number Of the .Nineteenth Century,
aProgressire Quarterly Miscellany, We
find an eloquent article BY Stephen
Dillaye, ofSyracuse, on certain doe
trines that have been current in GER
tain parts Of this country during the
last two years. We have only room
for the following passage:
There is nothing Of republic, but
its laws; strip it OF these, aud you take
from il Its only civilized element
There is no government without res
traint; take away this principle, and
you dissolve society. To combat these
truths is to array ones self against all
history, and call in question the bible
itself But true government is in no
way opposed to true progress in point
Of fact it is the only legitimate means
of attaining it. Higher law strikes
at the very root of these truths; it
would annul constitutions, to give
place to distractions it would SOW
contempt, but it would make har-
vest Of outrage. Experience has shown
in our government, that If law was
opposed to the welfare of society, 1t
was because its theory in practice was
wrong. The moment this fact is es'
tablished, mind combats the evil, and
speaks with million tongues, and
arouscs power which no Government
can subdue. This power may be ma
med public opinion, intelligence, or po
litical progress it matters not what II
be called, you can neither doubt its ex
istence nor resist its force. In col :
stitutioral democracy like ours, tn,
strength Of a principle is measured In
the public mind by its force at the
ballot box.--lf it gains ascendancy
there, it is because majority pro
claims its competence. II, on thu
other hand, it fails in support there,
it is because the public mind believes
it opposed to the public good. l hold
to the right of the majority to decide
That is the principal Of our Govern
meat, that S the force of our law
Higher law denies this, and sets uF
the individual will as superior to tn,
constitutional. 1t was the tanaticisn
Of this dogma which floodel Franc,
with the best blood of her. patriots =
Human will swelled into passion, and
society lost its balance"
