FelioD- Gtizens;-
Man is governed by generic
ideas. He is well governed or badly governed,
as the ideas by which he is governed are true
or false. These governing ideas may DO divi-
| ii -. ......l .Iu,sna aganr1tnn IN tho dit
fcrent spheres in which man is capacited TO
move. In the sphere of the aesthetic, man is
governed by the idea of the Beautiful in the
sphere Of science, by the idea Of the True in
the sphere Of politics by the idea of the Right.
As man is endowed with a social nature, he
was made for society, and as such has social
rights and social interests. His political well
being is dependent on his protection in the en-
I%loyment of these rights, and the promotion Of
these interests. Hence the necessity Of Gov
eminent, the end Of which is the general good
|, Of the citizen. A government is good or bad
in proportion rs il secures this end and II is
adapted 10 do so, Just in 80 far as il is based
upon and is regulated by the true idea of the
, Right
But mankind have differed in regard to the
true idea of the Right, and have established
governments according TO their divergent opin-
ions. These forms Of government may be
I divided into two general classes--the Despotic
$ and the Democratic. The despotic is formed
, according to the iden Of the Right entertained
by the Sovereign the democratic according
10 the idea of the Right entertained by the
subjects. The former is established by the
Sovereign, and administered by the Sovereign,
/, for the benefit of the Sovereign; the latter is
established by the people, and administered by
the people, for the benefit Of the people.
need not tell you that the founders Of the
! government Of the United States Of America
based it upon the Democratic idea Of the
' Right, which is but another name for the true
/, idea Of selc,goysrnment
This idea, ~ entertained by our fathers, wai
first violated by the so called Act Of Trade,
Q passed BY the British Council in the year 1860,
. the design Of which was TO fetter the Commerce
of the Colonies on the high seas, and bind il

of Paris, ON the 18th Of April, 1888. Sis
