Tobacco Inspections.

We remarked Thursday in notice Of
Governor KEMPER's message that we re-
GREETED to see that he doubted the propriety
OF repeating the fifty-sixth section OF the
tobacco-inspection law. The repeal Of this
section left it optional with the tobacco
owner whether his tobacco shall be inspect
ed or not. The Governor says it has crea-
ted profound dissatisfaction amongst many
people deeply concerned.
The tobacco-inspection regulations have
ever been a veXed question. We pretend
to no great knowledge upon the subject,
but we have ever been in favor Of dimin-
ishing the number OF regulations about in
spections, and always advocated the abolition
OF all compulsory inspections. Inspections
OF perishable and easily-iniured articles,
except as to quantity, have always been an
absurdity, and we could never see how all
parties should not be satisfied with optional
inspections. Commerce would settle down
upon the just custom and establish the rule
that inspection is best for seller and buyer,
or abandon it altogether.
The fact is, there are too many laws in the
land anyhow, and now that the Federal
tyranny is tightening about us we feel more
than ever love Of liberty. We have great
faith in the wisdom which comes from ex-
pcrience, and think that the people under
stand their own pursuits and what is best
for them better than the Legislature,
which, with its laws bearing upon private
occupations. often does harm. That all
must and should pay taxes and keep the
peace is proposition all recognize and APP
prove. After that all the liberty that the
people are permitted to enjoy consistent
with order and public decency is good for
people and State. Intelligent liberty and
public devotion are twin sisters. They are
the sure guarantees of peace and content
ment. AS surely as the State begins to put
restrictions and eXactions upon private
occupations, SO surely will hardships be
imposed and discomfort be engendered.
Then, quiet and perseyering men, who Are
steadily adding to the common wealth, will,
in the spirit Of dissatisfaction, ask them
selves, ais the Government really bless
ing to mc?"
Indeed. we cannot get along without gov
eminent; but it is all the better when it
avoids as far as possible any interference
with the liberty of the people to conduct
their business according to their own judy
mcntS. - &C.,

How This Country Follows Rome.

1t is often said that history repeats it.
SELF" II, therefore, we wish to look for
ward and see where our political troubles
will probably end, we ought first to review
the record Of events during similar COM
motions in other countries in the past. And
1t Is a sad commentary on the baleful effects
OF Radiealism that the minds Of thoughtful
Americans now turn to that condition Of
affairs which accompanied the decline of the
Roman Republic and foreshadowed the rise
OF an imperial despotism. The striking
parallel between our own present situation
and that Of the Roman people at the time
referred to is shown by the following his
torical extracts. The reader who should
omit to look at the title-LoRD's Old Ro-
man World-could not we'll decide whether
the writer was speaking Of Washington or
OF Rome. We quote:
"The imperial depotism was an ineyita!
bic sequence to the anarchy Of civil Wharf.-The
strife OF parties, great military successes,
and the corruptiops OF society itself. 1t
followed naturally the subyersien of the
Constitution by military leaders, the break
ing upof the power OF the Senate, and the
encroachments OF dominant party and
its leaders. Itsucceeded factions and DEM
agognes. 1t came when conspiracies and
prescriptions and general insecurity rem
dered "a stronger government desirable.
The country was too vast to be entrusted to
the guiG..af conflicting parties. There
was ntses =. strong, central, irrepressible,
irresistible power. in the hands OF single
man. Safety and peace seemed preferable
70 glory and genius. So the people ae-
guessed In the changes which were made;
they mad anticipated them they even hailed
them with silent joy.3 Patriots gave them
selves up to despair; but most men were
pleased With the revolution. The cry Of
the whole country was for peace, aud peace
could be secured only by the ascendancy OF
single man, ruling with absolute and I'M.
resisted sway. = IL yi5. .Es.
So much Tor the similarity between our
present political situation and that OF Rome
Just before the coming OF the empire. A
few more extracts viii depict the dire re-
suits TO the liberties Of the people that fol.
lowed the fall Of the republic. Whether
tae parallel shall still continpe--whetbea
similar results shall be seen in oar conn.
lry-~is the question now TO be decided nv
