@. Tempera, 0 MOres.

One only needs to glance at the newspa'
pers and periodicals that come at this time
from Europe 10 satisfy ones self that the
tone Of the adversaries of free government IS
more exuitant than ever. They tell us as
they did fifty or sixty years ago, that popular
sovereignty is a delusion, and that republics
are mere warming pans for military despots;
that republican governments are hotbeds OF
corruption, and that in them the profigacy
of party leaders initiates as gravely against
good government as the sel6shness of oligar-
chies or the tyranny of despots. That their
tendency is to produce general laxity of
principle, not only in political, but in COM
mercial matters, and general recklessness
of the rules which distinguish civilized from
social; that universal suffrage throws the
control of the State into the hands of the least
reputable men in the community, and there
fore, that comparison of its merits with
those of a restricted franchise, is simply
question whether the State shall be govern
ed by the best or worst class of citizens that
the extension of the elective principle to ev-
cry administrative department involves great
or mischiefs, by weakening the hands of the
administration of justice-cvery man a mon
ey worshiper, and this spirit tends to debase
the national mind and enervate the public
spirit, and finally, that the Executive, hav.
ing always something to hope and something
to fear from the masses, is naturally predis-
posed to court favor from them at any cost,
and to sacrifice the appreciation of the present
rnd future generations for the applause of
the moment
My fellow citizens and countrymen, l |
charge you to gravely consider these accusa-
tions and ask your hearts if they are based |
upon truths. and if not, let your loyalty to
the Government of the United States of Amer
ca show to the world that the great masses
are unanimous for its preservation, and that
our Nationality and Patriotism will and shall |
be our bulwark against the schemes of trait
orous and designing men on our own soil,
and give the lie to all upholders of European
despotisms.
