not sanction the movement or support the

The white men of Will county are OPP

dorsed by the Shoddies next tn 'sday, they
will net be endorsed by the people.

The Constitution and the rights
and Duties OfGhe People On
der IT

Vattel, the celebrated French writer and
mental regulation that determines the
manner IN which the public authority is to
be executed. In it is seen The form in
which the nation acts as body polite,
how and by whom the people are governed,
and what are the duties of the governors
and the rights of the governed.
The same writer regards the constitution
of country as the basis Of the public tran.
guilty, the frmest support of political
authority, and security for the liberty of
the citizens. But he adds that this con-
stitutiOn IS vain phantom, if its provis-
ions be not rsligiously observed. The ma.
ton then ought to watch very attentivcly
in order to render it respected by those
who govern and by the people destined to
obey. ..-
To attack constitution of a nation, is q
capital crime against society and if those
guilty of it he invested With authority
they add to this crime a perfdiOus abuse
of the power with which they are intrust.
ed. The nation ought constantly to re.
press them with its utmost vigor and Wig
ilance, as the importance Of the case re-
quires.
A further truthful remark by Vattel is
that it Is a very uncommon thing to zee thu
constitution of a nation or State openly anC
boldly opposed. And urges that it il
against silent and gradual attempts that
nation ought to be particularly on it's guard
Sudden revolutions strike the magma

The Boston Herald, paper that has had
some sense heretofore, adopts the argu-
mebt of the "War Democrats" and says /:
LET US wait until the rebellion is oyer,
and until the country is out of danger from
any interference on the part Of France or
Great Britain and then, if men in high
places have abused their trusts, the people
can vote them down"
Yes, but how about it if "the men in
high places" have fixed the matter 50
the people cannot vote them DOWN. That
is the question.
No despot ever trampIed a patient and
coE6diDg peoples liberties in the dust but
made use of the same argument; and we
go furtner-nD administration ever made
use Of that argument, that had no designs
against the rights and liberties of the pee
