Lapsing into slavery.

When the Government of the United States was cor
recy understood aud honestly administered there was
no greater wacbuness against danger observed towards
any branch Of than the army. There was tradition
al dread Of large army much so thatt was extreme
" difficult to get the consent Of Congress-to whom al
control OF The matter belonged-to the most moderate
and necessary increase of the little force. But since
the character of the Government has been changed and
the Illinois ouangOutang has become Dictator, absorbing
in bis own person all the powers OF all the depart
ments and all others he chooses to exercise the matter
is very much simpEfed. By dash Of his pen he mul
tpes the army and navy at will He has no better sense
of his constitutional authority than he has of the char
acter and department Of a gentleman. Nor have the
miens over whom he sways his vulgar rule the capac
w to perceive that he is making slaves of them or the
spirit to resist if they perceive it. 1t is amentabIe to
learn how much ignorance servy exists among peo
pie we thought emil ghtened and tried to believe manly.
