TIE LECTURE.
f,r,-es. ,,n GENTLEMEN: We now come to consider
che -.cl lecture or the eminent English historian who
has come among us II ~ the most interest
ing ana terrible PASSAGES Co history. II takes IN
three regns-the reign o. Henry VIII, the r-ICn Of
Elizabeth and the reign OF James l. scarcely consider
Tie Ie,gu OF Edward or Of Mary worth counting The
learned gentleman began his second lecture with rather
a startling paradox. RE asserted thar Henry VIII
a hatcr Of disorder Laughterl Now, dear friends,
every in this world LAS hero, whether consciously
~ unConscously Every selects some character or
other out Of history which be admires, until no length be
constantly thinking Of the virtues and the exccences
OF this hero until he comes almost worship him.
Before lie the grand historic names that are written
the worlds annals and every is free 10 select the
character that he likes best, he selects his hero,
using this privilege.
Mr. Froude has made most singular selection OF
hero that either YOU / ever heard Of His hero is
Henry VIII lHisses.l speaks volumes Tor the in
tecrlry Of MI Froude's mind IL is strong arcu-
neut that he possesses chanfy the most sublime
Uluchterl-wben he has been enabled 10 discover viz
tues the historical character OF Of the greatest
monsters that ever cursed the earth, Applause. He
has however succeeded this which TO appears i'm
possible He has discovered among many other shining
virtues IN the character of the English hero great love
f,r order-a great haired Of disorder. Wen, must
stop 90 the first sentence Of the learned gentleman
ana try 70 anayze and how much there is on truth
iB ts word Of the historian; and how much there is
which is honorable 70 him and truthful dgment Of his
Imagination.
Mr. rEOUDE's HERO DENOUNCED.
A. order m the state based upon three great princt
MES Dry friends namely, the supremacy OF tie law; re-
ct for and the liberty OF conscience and tender re-
srl for that which lies at the fountain head Of all
human socIety-uamely. the sanctty af the marriage
re tppausel The first element in every State is the
supremacy OF the law In this supremacy lies the very
oulDtesseuce OF human freedom and Of all order The
law Is supposed 10 be, according 20 the definition OF
Aluinas. the judgment pronounced by profound
reason and intellectual thinking and legisiatins for the
pubc vod" Tue law. therefore, il the expression OF
ressou-reason backed by authority-reason influenced
BY the noble motive OF The public good These being the
nature Of law the very first thing that we demand Tor
this law is that every bow down to 1t and obey IT,
fAppause.l No man an the community can claim e2-
rt,o from obedience 20 the laws least Of all, the man
who Is az the head OF the community because he Is sup
posed TO represent before the nation that principle OF
obedience without which ali national order and happ
nes, pcrisEes among the people.
