The central axiom Of Sir WILLIAM HAxrL.
TON, one Of the profoundest Of modern
thinkers, IL that no objection can be urged
against religion that NAV not with equal
success be urged against philosophy. So Of
Mr.. SuNrEp's attack on the Constitutional
Amendment to regulate representation By
suffrage; everything he urged against II can
with far more consistency be hurled against
his own postulat.s. But Senator FEssESpEN
90 completely routed him on this point that
We DO not care 70 revel amid the ruins. We
propose to examine into Mr.. suHNERs posi-
ton on the subject Of guarantees, If We do
so with less literature than tho distinguished
Senator, We hope not 10 present less logic.
It is said that during the Punic wars one
party had in Its van an array Of elephants,
intending to drive them into the ranks Of the
enemy and produce dismay and confusion,
and thus obtain an easy victory. But at the
sight Of, the opposing army the huge mon
sters took fright, and backing into the col.
umns of their friends, did for them what they
were expected TO do with the foe. Mr.. Sun.
SxR's propositiops are eiephantine allies.
When the counter proposition Is made, they
recoil on him TO the utter demolition Of his
hypothesis. For instance, he ran.acks his.
tory in vain To End n model de6nition Of q
republic. and finally adduces from his own
country the ono suited to his fastidious
taste,. lint rb.n und.r the republican guar.
aptes clause he comes 10 apply Il, he finds IL
will unborse the oopstitution Of every State
In the Union. To escape this disaster he in
