Delaware Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1843-1874, 1873-10-13

BrndIas,gh The English Republican, has given
iu his adhesion " this measure Of tar fellow
ci'izcn Frap,is Vincent. In All addrr.s at
S:einway Hall, New York, OIL Friday week, he |
said II believe IN federation Of al English
speaking peoples" then be added, "but this cav
Meier be under monarchy" in this he
differs from Mr. Vincent who thinks mouar-
chy can remain In England rs q State institu-
ton Gas slavery aid here) until altered by the
will of their people, through their local legisla
ture which the English Parliament would then
be. Mr.. Brsdlaugh In his lecture also ssys,
.that out Of SO English Sovereigns 10 only pro-
fessed to rule by Divine right, the rest did so
by the will Of the nation. Mr.. Vincent's ideas
heretofore publicly expressed In a lecture be
delivered, " use his own words, were as fol-
lows:
"rhe English monarchy simply as form of
government, need he no impediment 10 Anglo
Saxon unity. II the English people prefer an
hereditary 10 au elective executive, that Is their
own affair, which ths rest of the States that
would compose the Anglo Saxon Union would
hive nothing 10 do with. But they should
exercise the right of abolishing the monarchy
and substituting In its place any other form Of
government they deemed more In accordance
with their interests and feelings, peaceaby by
their votes, whenever they so desired, and not
by wars similar to those Of the Cavaliers and
Round heads, which formerly deludged the
mather land in blood. No One believes now.a-
days that monarchs rule by divine right. Queen
Victuria's Claim to the crown Ia its incipicncy
was that of force. Her great and cruel ances-
tor (through whom she derives her right to it)
won ii BY the overthrow of the Saxons at HAS
tings. She now rules by the will Of her peo-
pie. And IL the voice OF the people Is the voice
of God, as expressed In the Latin saying Of
"vox Populi Vox Del" in that sense she rules
by divine right, and in no other. As q queen,

come thoroughly convinced that her people
desired her to cease to reign over them, she
would, rather than that single useless battle

tire to private life, and live as q woman the
pure and virtuous life she has lived as queen,
The monarchy In England, 10 relation TO the
