the confidence Of Democratic leaders in

Of the caIpSt-baggcr and The sincerity of

formal and deliberate Expressions of their

lhcir careful essays in the pres, and their
heavy discharges of stdtrsman,hip from the

mort. If was never understood that he was,
in narrow and inhexible sense. a party man;
and several of his measures were carried when
tho Whigs were in minority in both houses
of Parliament. He was rather proud OF ms
good standing with many Tories, ana ho n"o
several quarrels with the men OF his own

great at certain periods of his life, he dld not

Mr. Potter c.nycts himself and his party

q confession that Democratic leaders begin to
feel the public alarm and Indignation which
thcir conduct has aroused. 1t is an attempt
to excuse the resolution of investigation By
tbo uIra thlt il is not yet certain that the
tile of the President is to be disputed, and
that. if it should De, nothing would be done
rxrcpt by some form of Congressional enact
wcpt. which, hc pleads, would not be III the
least revolutionary. In effect, he sets up the
nlra That no pretended law, however uncon-
-titutional and disturbing 10 the public peace,
can be called revolutionary il it Is designed
to set aside or punish what those who vote
for II please TO consider fraud. Yet the bare
statement of this plea shows that it is at war
with the Constitution, and with the whole
system OF sclf-gOvornmcnt' by which the
powers Of each branch are limited, and
the powcrs OF the majority regulated. 1t
aims to set up precisely the form OF
