Things Made W'0rss.
The Revolutionists now in power
tell the Democracy ~
The more You oppose, the worse
we will act"
Very well, say we-but we shall not
the less oppose. Military despotism
is not to be substituted among us, in
this country, and over such States Of
the old Thirteen, as Virginia, Carroll
mas, and Georgia-without opposition.
On the way to the Dead Sea Of Des-
potism, we will ever keep on remon-
strating.
Revolutions generally have to run
out, before they can be stopped--and
the quicker therefore, this runs out,
the better The Presbyterians Of the
days of Cromwell only made Cromwell
worse by opposing him. The lnde-
pendents would not have cut of the
head Of Charles the lst-if the Pres
byterians had not been Cromwells
enemies. No Jacobins, no Murats,
Dantons, and Robespieres, would
have existed, if the Girondists had not
stood in their way.
Thus, in our country, though resist
ing, we see the Revolution must go on.
The quicker, the President Is expelled
from Washington, perhaps the better
with Wade, or Chandler to act in
his place This will cut off the de
facto Government from that which
supports G Government-the moralsdnc-
fion of the People. Tho quicker the
supreme Court Of the United States
is overthrown, the better. This will
quicker bring on Anarchy, alone, at
times, can Order be got. Military
despotism may be theresult, in Crom-
well, or a Napoleon-but a Cromwell
is worth a thousand Praiso-God- Bare
bones, and one Napoleon is worth q
whole regiment Of Robespierrcs
The Rump Congress in Washington,
has utterly overthrown the Consttu-
ton Of the United States, in over one
half Of the original Territories Of the
old Is States. 1t but awaits the op,
portunity to govern the nation again
with Provost Marshals, and to throw
the Opposition into Fort Lafayette
or Fort Warren The Bumpers will
do all this--as soon as they dare
Paine's new Military Bill in the House
Of Representatives, is preparing the
way for it, in another standing army
Thad. Stevens has reported an Army
Bill, which strips the civil Government
of the command OF the Army, anC
puts it under the control Of the hump
But few, save those who keep a clos,
eye on Congress, have an idea of how
we are exactly re-doing what the Ro
mans did, under Pompey and the frs
! Cesars-undcr Cromwell, and under
the Girondisls and Jacobins of th'
French Revolution. Even the Assig
mats, there is a struggle torevive. Tn,
House voted, Thursday to expenC
500, 600, 900 in Greenbacls, alias As
signdts. There is nothing new unde
the sun, the Express repeats. Men il
1866 are the very same men, as in A
d. |, and A. d. 1640, and A. d. l7S6
/ We, Americans, have not advanced il
single liberal idea, but on the con
trary, we are undoing the work OF tn,
Barons of Runnymedc, Magma thdrtd
the Bill of Rights, the Right Of Peti
ton. &c. Our institutions now, il
freedom and in the protection Of prop
erty, are behind the English, and I
subject under Queen Victoria is fa
better protected in life, property an,
liberty than 100000 of American
people, 100000 of whom are of tn
purest Anglo-Saxon blood, with very
little intermixture.
All patriots who would guide thei
country to happy issue out of he
present troubles, should study lesson
of policy to be learned from the an
mails OF Switzerland, which, after tn,
Sunderland war, hurt no hair of any
mans head, pillered no mans proper
ty; and from the annals of France
which, after La Nendee was pacifed
disturbed no man IN L, either in hbenl
or estate, and icisely forbore to erecut
the C0Hscrptioa Lar, though the En-
pire stood in need OF every man, an,
though the master was Napoleon
! Mediate these lessons, for the Sundor
bund has left Switzerland, and Ii
! Nendec, France, more united thar
ever.-N y. Erpress.
