BANS OF FAITH.

have no iai,h In government is sent
iment thai leads 70 rebellion. Governmcnt
to receive the support OF the people must
be protective. That Is poor government
which leads the people 10 Ray, am nm
der no obligations to government. II has
done nothing for nre. 1t has suffered me
10 he robbed and cheated time and again
II seldom Or never folflip It's promises.
Our faith in God arises from the consider
alton that he does all things for ms. and
that lie does nothing against Ms. We con.
Rde in him because we know he Is our
friend and win sdoncr or later prove his
friendship for ms by his protecting care IN
making All things work together for orr
good. The love " the Great and Good
Being who rules in heaven and on earth is
such that he works day and night
and makes continual sacrifices for us
We therefore trust, adore and love him.
Our relations 10 Cad are sincere, sweet and
cordial. We let nothing come between us
and our God. The government OF the
United States is paternal and God like.
Its constitution and laws, its courts and
executive power is for the benefit of the
people one and all, great and small. The
question OF the gfeatest moment TO the
people is who runs this institution la
our administration for the people? Then
the laws and constitution will be very
easily interpreted and faithfully executed.
Our armies our protection, our State pris.
ons, and our gibbets--they will all be used
in loving way by paternal hands, admin
istered to save and not destroy. Whatever
is found within the jurisdiction OF the Uni
ted States that tends to injure the people
is unconstitutional and ought to be re-
moved, II possible, at once. Are drunkard
making saloons, houses OF i'll repute, gainb-
ling and lottery and shaving shops, desig.
mated to promote the welfare of the people
If SO, let them be licensed and protected.
The people ought TO be able to understand
and fully comprehend these questions The
vices and crimes OF this nation cost great
deal more than bread and butter. ii the
people permit these things to exist they
must not complain Of taxes. If the devil
is permitted to lead us into the dance, he
win compel us 10 puy the fiddler. When
the people are called upon to dance jig
it is fair question to ask who leads the
dance and to decide beforehand whether
we are ready and willing to pay for the
music. The people ought to turn their nt-
tenion to these things. We ought to know
when we are bamboozled. If our set OF
politicians will not rightly interpret and
execute the laws let them receive gentle
hint to stand one side and let another class
come to the front. 1t does not take rail-
roads long time to clear the track and put
the tram in motion. Vanderbilt aud Cook
are not slow. They call for live men,
And they know pretty well where the mon.
ey goes to. Lei the government see to il
that they do not get the peoples money
| unfairly. In this business of robbery, the
people do not care whether the fellow be
a beggar or millionaire; whether he be
a gambler, whoremaster, or drunkard max.
er. We ask the government-and we, the
people, have a perfect right-are you 60
ing to let these rascals lead of and ther
make us, the people, loot the bills2 W.
have done that sort OF a thing for goot
many years. We want men to run this
Yankee nation whom we can trust in the
dark, be they clergymen, lawyers, cobbleri
or plowmen. Let mormons, jesuits, tyrants
and all other crafts take due note.
