II may bc well at the outset TO inquire what

among men IN taIS country. IL Is not a my~-
IcrIuGS nor an ecu I nor obscure one. tI.i!
government IS established for IL few simple
purposes. II is intended To secure the ami
scrS:il diffusion OF POLITICAL ami civil rights
arnun" al men everywhere, accompanied 10y
cinclent anu rigorous measures tor the pro-
tc.t o. OF ifc ard tne security of property,
ard The preservation or personal liberty. The
right 10 receive reasonable wages for Nolun-
tary labur; the right Io live secure. livery
man should have tho right 10 vote once AMI
without lear. Every man should have ;ho
right of free emigration from one part OF this
continent To auotucr without let or hIn-
draucc. Tho means of education should

desire 10 know, and the oppor-
runiii,s of human happiness shoald Lc
