that all power is with the people. Our rulers
are only servants, having only such powers az
the people choose to extend to them from time

history will bear me out in saying, have pro-
head of the government and the people have no
rights, NO privileges whatever except as they
are extended by the crown. 1t is
impossible that on that theory such
self-reliance, such independence as our people
possess, can be created, except after the lapse

influence. They can then begin to grow great.

PLYMOUTH, Mass, Oct. l4--Gen. Grant
and party are visiting various points of inter
est here. During the day Gen. Grant was pre-
sented to the school children and spoke as fol-
flows:
81 am very glad to see you, school children
OF Plymouth; am glad of the opportunity of
visiting this historical spot. AS often as I
have been in Massachusetts, l have never had
the pleasure before, although have been SO
near to it. What we see before US in you chill
dren, is what has made New england so IA
nous. 1t ia what has extended 80 many bene-
fits through the new States and Territories as
they have become settled. We are getting
to have New England schools all through the
Northwest and hope the day is not far distant
when it will be extended to all parts of the
land. When it becomes universal there will
be an end to all our strife. I wish to say that
hope success may attend those schools
throughout the whole county as they have
! come from New England States.
Further remarks were made by Gov. Long
and ex.Governers Boutwell, and Rice. Odd
