THE POLITICAL ISSUES TO BE DE
CIDED NEXT TUESDAY,.

Ispirit of freedom which actuated that peOpis
at irst will accompany them still. The peo-
[ple lot the American coloniesl believe are
truly loyal as any subjects the King has, but
people jealous Of their liberties, and who
will vindicate them should they be violated. :
No one in that vast body of English rep
i resentatives had the audacity to accuse Col
Barre oftrsasen or ,disloyaIty for those werds.
They were spoken In an age popularity sup
posed to have been less liberal than the pres
ent In tolerating expressions derogatory OF
that Divine Right" claimed by the adherents

stronger language, but no one accused them
of lending aid and comfort to The apprehend-
ed rebehionsin America. Easing their pre-
dictions upon the known laws controlling
human thought and action, speaking as free
born .Englishmen of theft own kindred, the
mantle of Ejjah for the moment fell upon
their shoulders, and the language of prophe-
cy fell from their lips. The liberties of that
people were violated, and as COL Eas1e FORE
told, they were indicated by that people
with the war-cry Of Revolution upon their
lips. The Constitutional rights of the people
were transgressed, and fulfilling Col. Barrels
predictions, John Clark, one of the heroes of
lhe plains Of Lexington, wrote in his almanac
opposite the date Of that conflict, "This is
the inauguration of the liberty of the Ameri-
can world" ,rsse,.-

of liberty; but that era came to a close with
the Installation of the present Federal Exeeu-
