Of man, in human rights as the gift Of God, was
the pillar Of FIRE that guided our fathers through
the Red Sea Of that conflict. That inspired i'm
mortal Declaration proclaims not simply the indc-
pendcnce Of man. 1t teaches the race 10 look, not
up to thrones and cathedrals for its benefactors,
but down to the bulrushes and the manger. 1t is
great leveller, but always levels up. Like early
Christianity. the whole record of The Gospel il is o
bold aud eloquent antagonsm against existing

every ybody is wiser than anybody that there is q
democracy of politics. In word it conresses
liberty principle, faith in liberty when launch

Every great question of justice or relon is set
tied by its bearing upon immedediate emolumeEt.
There is no principle but interest. a Grecian
said, the Ahenians uesd the principles of Solon to
folst barley with Americans use the principles
Of Washington to raise corn aud cotton--for white

reverence to those from whose loins we sprung
and into whose labors we havo entered. But tC
be no better than those who went before US, is to
