Bit otir early statesmen rel also greatly,

| mud Justice and the .clear perce lon by The
Dppoitle Of their own real interests, and their
Iappreciatlon Of the badgers which would
menace them from want Of unity, from de-
liberalization, and from pFecedents against
themselves set By violation or the. rights Of
others. They felt sure that, however blinded
6r deceived. for time they hight be, the
beopse would ultimately do right for their
own good, If for nothing else.
The practical wisdom and truth OF this re-
lance is seen Id the various reFolutiops IN
political parties. No party, however strong
iu favor or I'D organization, has yet been able
10 to entrench itself as to stand long afferits
hide az strength has allowed il to tperYert
ri ilnwer TO q 'Dernicfous policy. Such per-
version is sure in time to bring popular
STORM and change, heralded by a heaving
ground swell which no statesman can fail to
recognize, The historical fact is that no par
ties in this country have achieved perpetuity
Of power, nor have held control for more
than an average number Of years-some for
more and some for less. The present party
have held on, IN spite OF us misoee1s, 1or lar
longer time than it would have done but for
the passions of the people, excited by spe-
eial causes, fostered by and Ginning in With
the party, and during the time its madness
has ruled supreme.
