Out of charity to weathcr-cocks we
attribute this freedom of speech to
that poetic lieepsc often INDUCED in
to complete the measure and harmo-
ny of their verse. Common sense
teaches" that weathcr-cocks and
priests alike obey the popular breeze
One that We know of, summoned to
console the living. about to consign a
husband and father to his silent
resting place, was so far obcdient to

destitute of common sense as on
such an occasion, to speak i'll of

This feeble \ pratcs about "enc-
mics of liberty. Now were he
vcrscd in legal lore he would know
that the Constitution, our cha-.cl
Of liberty, provides that .'no person
shall be deprived of life, liberty, or
property without due process of
law" and unless our Supreme
Court is composed of fools and liars,
those whom X defends arc guilty of
these high crimes. And a priest
unless Ignorant and stupid, would
have read the 9th verse ofthc 18th
chapter of The Acts and learned
that st Paul idea of an enemy of
liberty would condemn him, for he
says, 1T seemcth unreasonable to
send a prisoner, and not withal to
signify the. crimes laid against
him."
If this disscmhler be Priest" he
probably has cloak not unlike
that which Paul left at Troas for
Timothy to bring. but unlike the
great Apostle is using it TO conceal
the blackncss and depravi.y Of
hoart, which were its contents emp
tied into his stomach, would result
il iustan. death from black vomit.
His desire seems to be to provide
against future '.rcbellicns.
Let him then plant his slimmer-
ing X high upon the walls Of Pande-
monium. for rebellion has even oc-
Cured in heaven. The government
Of Lucifer has alone been exempt
from the evil he would guard
against. His model of ''strong
government in all the history Of
time can alone be found in hell.
The first kings were elected by
the free sutfrages of the people, and
when kings proved tyrants, they
were justly killed. This doctrine
was familiar to, and endorsed by the
writer's of antiquity, among whom
VIC mention Plato, Aristotle, Nen-
ophon, Polybius, Cicero. Livy,
Justin, Pliny, Strabo, Plutarch,
Herodotus and others.
