MINORITY pEsPoTIsMs.

A minority government is necessarily
despotic. A majority never establish a
despotism, for they are the governors
and the governed They have no more
iuducement to do so than a man has to
play despot over himself Who does
,bat9 Who denies himself the enjoy
ment of those rights which nature informs
him belong to him? The greatest fault
we have is, we do not sufficiently restrain
ourselves. But who possesses the right
10 step in and relieve us of the response
bility of selfgovernment2 Whatever
our omissions may be, we will not toll
crate the interference of others. Despot-
ism. then. is the ascendency OF the lew
over the many. Exertion of that physi-
cal force which the majority possess, is
fatal to despotism. Austria is despot-
ism, because the few domineer over the
many. Europe will sustain the minority
government of Austria, because the
minority system is that which resides
a, the base of what is known as the bal
ance of power" But in this country
there is no balance of power. Our sys-
tenn is founded upon the consent OF the

a Jacobin to add a falsehood TO his
treachery by asking: Is it republican

Time, that waits for no man, and de-
laws for the convenience of no party, is
bringing wrong to justice, and usurpa-
ton to grief. At this moment, we must
confess, these results are not SO near us
