Reverence Tor Law.


II has often been objected against our institu-
lions that the mob il more powerful than the
law. That every man does that which is right
In his own eyes, and ID 20 educated Is to resent
the most gentle restraint as an infringement Of
his rights. In support Of this criticism We are
putes, and the outrages which have occurred
under political excitement, which defying all
armed suppression have only subsidized from sheer
exhaustion. While We regard these observa-
tions - superficial and unfair, We must confess
that there is room for improvement III the vene-
ration with which the law should be regarded,
and the ready obedience yielded to its require
ments. The law should be supreme, and If men
are not from their earliest days taught 70 submit
their passions to it, there should be vigor enough
in the Executive to compel them. This word
compel IL . hard one for men whose boast has
been in their power to govern themselves, but
the present crisis makes US humble and sends US
on the search for the radical evil. We assert
then that want of reverence for law, is the main
spring Of this rebellion. Not sudden forget
fulness Of its imperative obligations. that may
happen anywhere, but an educated and system
attic contempt for anything that Gets itself supe-
sior to personal inclinations and passions. The
host in arms at the South isnothing but gigan
Ito mob, and should be treated as SUCH 1t has
been commanded to dispense, and now the order
should be ''charge! and clear the way" By their
own showing, by the resentment of an indulgent
North, by the impartial judgment of other ma
tions their wild and wicked enterprise is the
offspring of defeated ambition, a monstrous
birth, growing at once with Cyclopian strength
and brutality which seeks not redress but the
indulgence of . vindictive nature and exults in
the mere contemplation of ruin it is impotent
to effect.
We earnestly hope that the result Of present
remedies will be the humiliation of the mobbng
spirit. That the law in this instance will clothe
itself with such terrors, and achieve such SUI
preme triumph, that hereafter it may realize the
conception of ancient Jove, whose imperial nod
was felt and recognized throughout his vast do
main By Law we mean that wholesome restraint
to which every good member of society cheer
fully submits, which smbodies the wishes of the
greatest number, which is burden only to the
lawless, and has not the shadow Of semblance
to tyranny, which lies at the foundation of hu-
man peace and prosperity, and the systematic
contempt of which has reduced part of the
States to chaotic condition, and would soon
destroy world.
