All this shows that instead of advising

been better for the Israelites % hnve t. ken

contains a torcible Lesson to sovereigns not to
strain too tightly the reins even Of acknow-
lodged authority, but TO yield sometimes, for
the sake Of peace, points which are Of no prnc-
tical importance. II also illustrates the folly
Of discarding the counsels OF age and expert
ence in Affairs Of State, and following the adj
vice Of foolish, infiammable Juveniles. This
is a lesson which King People may ponder as
we'll a. other nonarchs. Let him take the ad-
vice of tho old fogies, the old Statesmen, the
old gentlemen Of his realm, and make the last
words Of the Father Of his country his pOliti-
cal bible. Let him "speak good Words to the
most denunciatory ultras, as the ola men ad-
vised REHoBOAN to do; let him hold Judah
and Israel together BY the cords Of equal JUS
tice and fraternal love. But, ii he ever ex-
poets to prosper, or to transmit an unbroken
scepire 70 his posterity, let him turn a deaf
ear to the whole generation Of "s,atores, nori.
