Despotism-political, moral, social, reli-
gious and intellectual, ruled Europe from
its infancy. America was from its be-
ginning. and especially 10 its maturity, to
be the abode of liberty, and send forth
the reformstige and elevating energies
ard principles which should redeem and
disenthral the nations. Tyranny estab-
fishes itself in our own fair land, and
eutwines itself around the national life.
and preys upon its vi,als. Now we have
the struggle between freedom and slavery,
between the liberty which is to be the
destiny of the New World and the des-
potism which has cnrsed the Old-fought
upon our own soil. So surely as justice
and tight and liberty are of God, SO
surely will slavery and despotism fail and
perish.
