Montesquien has said that private and
public virtue is not only the foundation OF
Republics, but the condition of their exis-
tence. The logic of the proposition CON-
mcnds itself to every thoughtful mind, and
its truth has been demonstrated by the ex-
perience and observation Of men throughout
all ages. AS Burke was wont to say, with
that sound political philosophy which inn
penstrates all his political writings, men are
qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion
to their disposition to put moral chains
on their own appetites in proportion as
their love of justice is above their rapaci.y;
in pro portion as their soundness and sobri-
ETY. of understanding are above their vanity
and presumption in proportion as they
are more disposed to listen to the counsels
of the wise and good than to lend an ear to
the fattery of tho sdemagogue who are to
the mob, what eourtiers are to the mon
arch.
