able por,iun Of the subjects or citizens of any
nation that ever existed have ever rebelled
against the lawful authority of the state
without q cause. This is true Of nations
whose populations are heterogeneous -is is
certainly as true of those nations whose peo.
Pile are homogeneous. II is absurd to sup.
pose that any people will resist or Gecry Il

and its inheritance of cheap and righteous
Government. then we must look 10 some other
source to find the cause of our present woes.
1t is fair to presume that 10 man in his
senses would hazard the assertion that we
live under the Government we did six years
agone. Whence the change? Has it been
ordered and decreed 10y the suvereigns of this
once peaceful and happy country that their
Government under which they were born
and bred To manhood, should be suhverted
aud nameless despot;sm, welded by com
binaton of sin, substituted in its stead :?
Nay, verify. The Chief Magistrate of the
late republic was always regarded by the
people with reverence. lie was Il man who,
in the popular eye, was clothed with dignity
and honor. His faults were freely forgiven
him ly the people, and every man, woman
and child were accustomed to think of HIM
as the must august personase Oh earth. How
