tocratic, more III tune with thuse old menarchical
principles Which have been siumbersng these
many years, but which, II the signs Of Ahc times
deceive us not, are once more Creeping into life
again. How suggestive is the concurrence OF
the facts that. in the following the first CEN
tcnnial anniversary OF our Republic, q certain
revival OF monarchical sentiments should be
manifest in our politics, and at the same time
on tine part Of our Episcopalian citizens, who
represent more than any othcr distinct body,
probably, tho 7,ristocracy Of our English an

to remove their Protestant title aud substitute

We desire to kindlc in our hearts anew

among the scenes and men OF that period, breathe
again the spirit which animated them Amid
