Liberty VS.. Licentiousness.


The repealo Of the Sunday Ordinances
in certain cities suggests the thought
that the tendency OF the times is
toward a contest between law aud or
der. on the one side. and on the
other RIGHTEOUSNESS, under the plea
of personal liberty. This seems to
be the contest that is rapidly APP
preaching. 1t is to be contest be
tween light and d~arknsss--a con
test between Republicanism or true
Democracy, and Communism, or
the rule Of the mob. 1t mems sp-
petites and passions, instead Of law.
are to become the governing princi
pie of action, then indeed have we
fallen on evil times, and may well
despair of Republican institutions.
Though this conflict seems likely to
arise; though the mob rule of appe-
tite and passion, under the specious
pleading of personal liberty. seems
disposed to precipitate the battle
still we %apprehend for law and order
a decisive and permanent victory.
We are too near the days of our Ma
tons birth 10 have forgotten the les
sons of those perilous times, when
true liberty under the name of law,
was inaugurated. Every man hav-
ing in his soul q spark of the fire OF
those patriotic times will rally on
the side of law and order, and deal
such deathly blows to this new idea
of libsrty-an idea which had its
birth in ancient days, when power
made right-as to send it back to
the darkness from which it sprang
The mob of the cities-the goddess
throng which seeks pleasure only
through the appetite -may and prob
ably will rally under the new banner
of RIGHTEOUSNESS, but they will be
but as the feather in the whirlwind
compared with the hosts that the
pure life of the country will marshal
in behalf Of law and order. This is
q land of Ian liberty, not one of II
eentious liberty "a land where mems
sppetites and passions, to the extent
that the public good may require,
must be governed and controlled by
lsw-aud when the contest comes 1t
will result, as the late civil war did,
in faver of lsw and order--in favor
of that liberty which is the corner
stone of our institutions liberty
governed by law.
