NO snsnicion entertainment of one SINGLE act
of oorruntion in any officer in legislative,
executive. or judicial station !: no Door man
had ever been oppressed with immunity: no
rich man exalted ON the mere strength of
wealth alone : and no commotion. mo- fac
ton. no animosities. had ever arisen in
the Commemorative. . Controlled by such
an Instrument. the people would be kept
strong in virtue, and the governing power
of the State lifted into an atmosphere of
purity. But that grand old model has
been repudiated here and elsewhere, and
down to the date Of the late war new
constitutions have been, devised, based
not upon restraint, but upon license since
the close of the war, others have been
framed which do deal in, restraints it is
true, but which, with studied iniquity, re-
verse the true rule, and excluding the good
and virtuous from their rightful control,
place the reins OF license In. the hands Of
the vicious and deprayed. OF these latter,

have broken down the restraints Of our
ancient models, and have been built upon
the baleful falsehood that the people can do
