democracy and. Demagoguiann.

Democracy makes towards of public men.
Men who fear the popular vote. will never op:
pose the popular will. Men who build upon
the masses will appeal to the lowest standards
as the most numerous. Numbers thus become
ter. The relations,of the two-the leader and
the people-will result in the degradation of
the former and the presumption of the latter.
In degree rs the one ieweak and timorous, viii
the other be bold and insolent The caprice of
the populacs will keep strict pace with the
contempt which they will feel at the weakness
of their leaders; and one set of den,ngognes
will thus give place to another as the sparks fly
upward, each successive swarm making an in
crease in the downward progress of intellect
and character. Very soon, there will be no
moral restraints upon the passions of the mul-
titude. The creature who buys their votes.
sells himself in the puychase. They know. his
price in their own. The tenure Of his hold
upon them will be limited by his uees in sub.
serviency. Should he forget himself for mo-
ment-forget duly to acknowledge his SUBJ
serSieDcy-he will be cast of. If he is simply
cunning, he will continue to play his game con-
s'stently: He will appear before them in rags.
If he forgets himself in his vanity, they will
revenge upon him all their hurts Of self. esteem:
and fresher subservienoy, and more lavish hand
in bribery, will enable any competitor to win
the voices that were lately all his own. The
populate. fed on vanities and in false relations
to their leaders, are always Jealous of neglect.
They are jealous Of all shows se well, "a eeser.

In Democracy, we call upon God to bear wit
ness to a lie. He has made all men unequal,
studiously so-some with five talents, others
again with only one talent-in order that they
should have various uses, and thus be 'nad>.
mutually dependent for the proper working Of
society. In the teeth Of all experience in de-
6aues of all thought, philosophy and religion,
we declare them all equal; and assume for tie
race at large the capacity for the goveramer.

And Yet, the passions Of the people once

error is in suffering him to get the bit between
