destroyed the Constitution, but, on
the contrary, preserved its existence

enduring strength. All the rights
granted to the States or reserved to

Among those rights is that of the peo-

and spirit of the Constitution, and the
undue ascendency of men allowed tc
assume powers in what are considered
desperate emergencies. Sylla, on be-
coming master Of Rome, at one adopt.
ed measures to crush his enemies and
to consolidate the power of his party.
He established initiatory colonies
throughout Italy, deprived of the full
Roman franchise the inhabitants of the
Italian towns who had opposed his u.s.
urpation, consfiscated their lands and
gave them to the soldiers, and confer
red citizenship upon a great number Of
slaves belonging to those who had pro-
scribed him, thus creating at Rome a
kind of body-guard for his protection.
After having given Rome over to
slaughter and tyranny beyond all ex-
ample, Sylla could vet feel safe in law
ing down the ensigns of power, SO
d~readfully abused, and in mingiing
freely with the families and friends Of
his myriad of victims. The fear which
he had inspired continued after his yoL
untary ~abdication, and in retirement
his will was law to a people who had
permitted themselves to be enslayed.
What but a subtle knowledge and con-
viction that the Roman people had be-
come changed, discouraged, and utter
ly broken in spirit could have induced
this daring assumption !? What but
public indifference to consequences so
terrible as to leave Rome open to ey-
cry calamity, which subsequently, left
her, could have justified the conclu-
sions of the dicator and tyrant in his
experiment :? We find that
in the time which has since elapsed

governments have not greatly chang

EcUADoR-A curious circumstance has oc-
cured in Ecuador, showing how the Jesuits
are again gaining ground in South America.
This Order, it will be remembered, has
several times been driven out of oil the
Spanish American States excepting Ecua-
dor and Guatemala. In these States it has
always 1ourished most, and only suffered
once from the Papal edict of Clement XIV,
IN 1773, which almost annihilated the frater-
nifty. 1t may bs said that Quito Is the strong
hold Of the Jesuits on this Continent. Their
power is now shown from the news that all the
schools in Ecuador have been closed except
ing those under Jesuit control. The arch
bishop and four priests who have opposed the
measure have been driven from the country.
1t is said that the Dictator, Moreno, aims at
thc Catholic regeneration of Ecuador by put
Ting 1t entirely under Jesuit rule.
