daunted resolution of her sons, the great
element of power in the Confederaey, will
proye, in preventing too heavy an influx
from foreign shores of that class of popula-
ton devoted to menial pursuits, another
bulwark against the encroachments Of those
tendencies to Democracy which have been
the Pandora's box of disintegration and
ruin to all republics. z
DEMOCRACY DANGEROUS. 4
"This dangerous tendency to excess will
almost inevitably be with us, as in the
Union, and in all free governments, towards
a democracy.
"The danger of this tendency to democ-
racy may not be sppreciable for many
years. Disgraced by the crimes of her
votaries in the Northern States, humbled
by her humiliating defeat in the destruction
of her chosen empire, the late Union, and
abashed by the proud triumph of constitu-
tional liberty, in the success Of the young
Confederacy, Democracy may veil :he fea.

and retirement FROM the theatre of active
conflict TO efface the blood stained record of
her crimes. Nt

vestige of radical democracy, every feature
tending to make ours a popular government,
making it subject only to the intelligent
and virtuous, and those who are interested
in its successful administration.

cessful republic, that we cry out for the
establishment of royalty in this free coun-

detestation of tyranny in all its forms, by
those terrible libations which it is the habit
of liberty to exact from her votaries. We
have no special objections to royalty when
restrained by constitutional barriers. The
glorious career of freedom in England, il.
lustrsting for centuries the beauty and
truth of free government, demonstrates
that royalty and liberty are not incompati.
