M'arthur Democrat. (McArthur, Vinton County, Ohio) 1853-1865, 1861-10-31

splendid winter night and gorgeous
summer day of six long months, must
yet yield up it's wealth of gOdlike
science to the searching mind Of man.
Within the Antarctic Circle, she mys.
terry of swinging worlds and revolv-
ing systvms shall be mapped ont in
the luture's great lyceums. All shall
be mans, for TO his souls vast powers
there's no horizon but bis ignorance,
and this is daily melting beneath the
sun of growing civilization"
"No matter by what title we dis
tingui.h the nations head, whether
we call him "King, Calipb, Emperor,
or President" lie is designed by
Goo and selected by man, to be the
FATHER OF THE NATION; the source Of
strength, supply, and centre Of order;
grouped around him are the peoples
Delegates, "Ministers, Counsellors,
Congress Parliament" " call them what
you will I'D, ta' .'"
They should be the mother princi-
pie in government, the pleading voice
that represents and cares for the sub
ject children'sneeds; medium between
the. two, the peoples mouth piece,
and the Sovereign's minister: thus in
the body polite, the chief rulershould
be the head, the counsellors the heart,
the people willing working members
Of the whole. This is no Utopia;
nothing more than the completion of
the governmental order, whose neces-
sity man has recognized in every age,
in his partial efforts to attain it; et.
forts which have proved failures, not
from error in the principle, but ignor-
ance and corruption in its application.
Excess is the tendency Of youth and
inexperience; the race being young
and therefore inexperienced, has heap
ed up excess around kingly attributes,
until the father has been exaggerated
into a demi.goG, and pampered into
luxurious tyranny, a subversion Of
the Office, which has alternated in op.
preston, sustained BY force, on the
one side and rebellion, terminating
in national decay, on the other. We
search the records Of history in vain
to find that government, in which the
minorities fulfilled their part, as just
representatives Of a toiling, suffering
people; excess Of power seems ever
to fulfill its legitimate Office Of corrup-
ting placemen, until the majority use
those places but as means Of personal
aggrsndizement, and politics inter.
preted, signifies only the war Of pride,
greed Of gain, and worldly
honOrs. Hence the masses, oppress-
ed by poverty, ground by taxation,
and degraded by a sense OF pitiIul in
teriority, sink into crime or rise
against their rulers. Hence the ties
Of mutual dependence, which should
mite into one body the members of
a nation, are violently rent asunder
by hatred and antagonism; tue gov
eminent regards the people as ga
mass" TO be held in subjection. The
people behold in their rulers a screw
,ut upon them to eXtort taxes and un.
Wiling service, aud the warfare OF
interests can only be de,
ermined by the strength of party or
he dissolution Of the dynasty. Still
ne principle of government, and the
avs of Older which groups individu.
