Is evident that in conies, like this,
aud especially under a constitution
like ours, the safety Of the nation de-
ponds upon the confidence which the
people place 10 their Government, In
our past history those administrations
which have been supported by small
constituencies, have experienced great
difficulty in carrying on the govern

the government is powerless Doubi-
lees 10 great extent the government
should be controlled by the sentiment
Of the people. Doubtless on great
