FIRST PRINCIPLES RECALLED.

This is one of the occasions, and [
think the greatest one that has oc
Cured in the history Of the world,
when it becomes necessary to recur
to first principles. This they did in
the formation Of the Constitution Of
the United States. And when we
turn to that instrument we find that
the trainers. Of the Constitution, who
I believe in part were guided by in
spiration--for evensaSNshington who
conducted the armies of the Revolu-
ton and who sat as President OF the
Convention in the formation OF the
Constitution-wa governed b. an
overriding conviction that Providence
guided him, both in conducting the
armies in the field andinthe perform
ance of his duties in the formation Of
the Constitution.
We find, TOO, in the formation Of
that instrument, that this great idea
was to be carried out: That it was
to be a Gov ernment for all time, be-
ing formed On the great principles Of
right and equality, and the capablli-
ties of man to govern himself. We
find that even when you go back to
the Articles OF Confederation, the
idea is there inaugurated that this
Government IS to exist in perpetuity
The language ''perpetuity" IS made
use of ia those articles Decentralization
When they came to the formation OF.
II Eaf \ Ic
written that the object is for the for
nation more perfect Union" The
idea in the Articles Of CONFEDERATION
was perpetual Government and
the Constitution was toperfecta IN
ion that wouldbe more perfect. The
Constitution becam. the organic law
of the land, and under that Constitu-
ton we lived up to the period OF our
disasters, and grew great andprosper-
Gus.
Furthermore, that Constitution
provides for the formation and adj
mission of new States into this Con-
federation of States; and, further
still, that the Constitution provides
for its own amendment. Three
fourths of the States may adopt
amendments to the Constitution
Thus you started with the idea OF
Government that should be able to
perpetuate itself through all time
while man exists !; provide for the adj
mission of more States, on the prln-
ciple that all could work together
tremendously in our system, but did
not provide for putting or letting
States go out ofthe Union.

than two hundred cords Of seasoned wood piled at the

feet of It. After not less than fifteen hours constant
labor in throwing water from the three Engines THE

Scott Egii Co.'S lumber kiln the 30th, that it
could not be brought OUT they succeeded in saving
part of the building the wood house,and quite
