! no develop Of their powers and no
protection guaranteeing to them life,
! liberty and happiness. Natures God,
therefore, has Willed the family and the
Iclyil commonwealth. The authority in
herent in both has its source in the
4 eternal mind, and the laws that eman-
| ate from them are enrobed in all the
sacledness of his own immed ediate laws.
The originiof civil authority gives the
reason for its reverence and the obe-
dience which we demand for law from
1 the citizens of the state : There is no
power but from God, and that are or
dained of God. Therefore, he that re-
sisteth the power resisteth the ordin-
ance of God. z
The organization of law and order
| leagues has been thought of as a pre-
ventative of the growth of laWlessness.
| Leagues exist in most of the large
cities and produce the bestresul S. The
secretary OF the most successful of
those leagues, the QUE organized in
Chicago, has done us the honor to visit
our city and will explain to you the
purpose and the methods pursued. "A
league will be organized in st. Paul,
and we bespeak for it your kind encour- /:
agement.
Mr.. Andrew Paxton and DR.. Dana fol
lowed in stirring speeches, after which
Bishop Ireland announced that i'm
mediate steps would be taken to form \
a law and order league, and in due
time all would be called on to aid in the
work. Mr.. Paxton called for a rising
vote of those favoring league and
everybody stood up.
Meagher's Sword.
| General Thomas Francis.
| Now that the sword OF Meagher, used
| by him so effectively in the late rebel
| lion, has been presented to the Young
Ireland Society Of Waterford, his ma
tive city, by his widow, it may be fit
time in connection with the presenta-
/ ton to give the rea ders of THE STAND
ARD his magnificent speech on the
Sword, delivered during the repeal days
/ in Ireland.
Idissented from those peace resolu-
tions, as they are called, for felt that,
by asserting to them, | should have
pledged myself to the unqualified re-
pudia ion of physical force, in all coun-
tries, at all times, and under every cir
cumstance. This I could not do; for,
my lord, do not abhor the use of arms
in the vindication of national rights.
There are times when arms will alone
suffice, and when political amelioratlons
call for a drop Of blood, and many thou
sand drops of blood. Opinion, K admit,
4 will operate against opinion; but force
must be used against force.
i The soldier is proof againstan argu-
i ment, but he is notproof againsta bullet.
The an that will listen to reason, let
him be reasoned with. But it is the
4 weaponed arm of the patriot that can
alone prevail against battalioned des-
potism.
