liberty. We may be willing to stand ANYTHING
in the way Of taxation, but the deprivation ci
the liberty of aslngs citizen through tyrannicai
and unconstitutional legislation il a blow at the
Liberties of all. So Gen. fitzpatrick, in his usual
VEN OF poetic iervor, gives another note to the
aspirations for freedom Speaking of the pro-
spective election OF the Liberal candidates he
says: -s
1t will tear down that false barrier which a.
sumes 10 separate loyalty from treason. 1t viii
bring together, without sacrifice OF ignty ur
principle, men Of all sections and parties !
will utterly destroy that sectional spirit whicl
forces the passions OF war into civil lite wher
The war itself Ia ended. II will bring abont !
real union OF honest men from The North an,
from the South. and it seems TO me to be III,
only way to effect such a unon--a union &c
mented by common and patriotic purpose I,
