QrPs A MINORITY Eovr">HvNT. One oi
the popular errors Of cur time is belief
il the omnipotencc Of na,yri;ies in ;he
government Of the country. We Grd The
itea expressed very c!ear.y IN a aiste Eusn-
Der of the Solano Herald
Popular Government is based exclusively w

feet right Of a numerical ma:orltY--thOuxh Il

execute its will as inexorAby as If there were
no minority.
This is the theoretical view of the sub
ject. Practically, our form of Government
hardly ever s cures the predotninance Of
the will Of majority. Lincoln IS a min,
ority President, nearly one million more
votes having been cast against bin than
for him. The same frequently occurs in
selection Of all officers, from United States
Senator down to town constable. The
Federal Constitution might have gone in,
to force against the will of a majority of
the people of the United States, and may
be amended at any time through the vote
of minority of the people. No Demo
cratic Representative Government can,
strictly speaking, be majority Govern
rnont that can only be attained in pure
Democracy, where the people all meet in
mass and declare their purpose in person
without representation. The true pur-
pose Of Government is the protection Of
the minority - majnrities protect them
selves by power Of numbers, and need no
forms Of law to secure to themselves their
rights of persons and property. Legal
right and remedies are prescribed and en-.
forced for the protection of lninorities, and

The Hon. Rcverdy, with as much con-

to hear the gentleman from Michigan 90
express himself; he boasts that he Is ''not

now, for my part, think that is dis
ease which we all, in this Senate. are
sworn to have; and If Mr.. Chandler has
recovered from Constitution on the
BRAIN" he has relieved himself from his
solemn oath as Senator, etc. This was
the unkindest cut of all. The Hon. Mr..
Chandler seemed inclined to resume .
