This is q icge word of FIVE letters but it meons
much-very much. 1t means domestic happioesa Il
neaGs our o@n vine and our own fg trce with to
make Us arail. 1t means home comforts and fre-sde
enjoyment.
These things and many it means in It's trueet
and best ecne ard consequently mankind if deprived
of it for any length OF tm3 begin to long for lis re-
turn The patriot will work for it with all the best
and strongest impulses and powers of his nature. The
dsmagogue will eIectioneer upon it with all the cunning
Of has nature.
But little reflection will show Us that no true bles-
sing, great virtue is without lis counterpart, and ap
parenty cogaote afl ction or debasing vice. God is
Iove-lt is His highest attrbuteitis is that which, when
revealing Himself to Moses, the most highly honored of
men, be caused 10 pass before hin. But we know
that this most ennoblpg sentiment OF the human soul
pure and glorious enough to fo the chief attribute
of the Deity himself has its Degrading degenerate in
pure counterpart counterfeit. So religion is Knocked
by patriotic emulation by heart
leFs ambition There is torE under which the devil
cannot steal the livery of heaven to assist him in carry
ing out bis own diabolical intentions. So peace
may be made to mask submission, to be simply
another name tor an abandonment Of the COuedr rate
cause. Feace like love- must be obtained honorable
terms. On any other it is degrading alike to the vic
tim and the victmiser, and thus ii is that, while
have wish to call in question the motives of any OF
contemporaries, ard sympathise strongly any
persons in the natural desire for peace we would re-
spectiuly beg readers to watch carefully all sug-
gesons that would tend to substitute anything Dun
terfeit, dishonoraba or degrading for true and
genuine peace. The highest and mcst generous feelings
and sentiments OF Daure, when abused perverted
become the most degrading and destructive. Let Us
sex for peace, pray for it, h& ii Of the most
precious boons that providence bestow, ou5 let
beware That 90 rot, under the and form CT The
angel peace, take 10 hearts the degraded aod de-
grading Id known euhjugaticl, degradation, ela-
very, Submission. We think our people cannot be too
cautious Ihe is not popular The Of tie first
Revolution became unpopular. Even the holy Founder
of oar religion bad traitor among bis Apostles, aud
was denied by another. Human nature is weak, and
all, sharing its weaknesses, ought to make allow
auce but at the time ought to try and guard
against those ates ourselves and warn Others against
tbtm.
