When free Government fails 20 dc
this It is bccause the people no longer
possesses the public virtue TO submi,
to the trials and privations their cit
lizcnship entails and fhcrcbv way is
lopencd for aspiring and unprinciplcd
politicians to attempt Il usnrpation. -
There are intriguing and designing
men now IN this nation whose whole
course of policy is aimcd at the dc.
lstruction of right and liberty, and to
accomplish their iniquitous purposes
are continually assailing the Admin
istration and the great moral basis on
on which the Governments is founded.
Eyry noldc act and evry patriotic fee
ling Is iashod upon, by such men with
storm. Wherever an Administration
is treated with derision the Govern
ment fails. liberty becomes anarchy,
parties coalesee. strive and grasp az
power: property is threatened, pcrsons
are assaiIetl, in the absence o. an Ok
cculivc there is no responsibility
and eventually the nation Incomes m
arena for plmdcr aad destruction.
This state Of things can only bc
avoided by defending the Govern
mcnt, by holding up the hands of
those who administer its laws. by ap
Iproving the statesmen who counsel,
and by encouraging the soldiers who
fight its battles.
AS citizens we are under obligations
to maintain and defend the constltu
ton, as patriots we are responsible TO
future generations for this heritage,
rs advocates Of law and order, we are
bound to see that liberty, morality
aud religlon are maintained, obs. .rved
and practiscd.
