or prejudice of the majority. a short
term of power would suffice for the
elect of a deluded people to perpetrate
innumerable wrongs-enrich them
selves at the sacrifice of the prosperity
of the country-squander or appropri-
ate to themselves the revenues of the
State-indulSe in nepotism-create an
onerous public debt-fOster eXtortion-
oppress the weak-persecute their ene-
mies-perpetuate their power, etc.
No, if a constitution is established at
all, its main object should be to pro-
vide against the abuses of power which
mi,jorities and their favorites are al
ways prone TO commit. ..
OF these, the most commonly eXper-
fenced are frauds in election, Il subser-
Went judiciary, II dilatory administra-
ton of justice, unequal taxation, and
invidious local or class legislation.
II a constitution does not provide
ettectually against these, it is worse
than useless. Anarchy would be less
injurious than legalized robbery and
oppression.
But our space for to-day is already
exhausted. We will therefore defer to
our next number our remarks on each
of the above mentioned abuses, and ON
the manner in which they should be
treated.

gunshot wounds during his career. and
that he and his brothers were often on
the point Of surrentlering to the author
titles. He denies that he ever murdered
anybody, but says he Is ssaccused, Of
killing those who killed his father''-a
proceeding which he evidently does
not regard as constituting murder.
