The Peoples Government.

The declaration Of the fathers that "ail
men are created equsl, hat the, are endowed
by their Creator with certain unalienahe
rights, that among these are life. liberty and
the pursuit Of happiness, that 10 secure
these rights. governments are instituted
among men, deriving their just powers from
the consent Of the governed" touches re-
sponslye chord IN the heart Of every honest
and Intelligent American citizen. To him
the one thing needful is government Of the
people, for III. people and by the people. In
such gov.rnment the common veal re-
qaires that no citizen should be made
cipher, and any mode Of conducting the af-
fair. Of thl. great nation which makes hin
one j. radically wrong, and requires the best
and most strenuous efforts Of ali TO eradicate
the monsirous evil.
A government Of the people, for the peo
pie, and by the people Is the nor
nsl condition, politically. Of intelligent
citizens. Any other system Of government
is abnormal and pernicious. The American
citizen, unbiased by corrupt leaders and un
tsugh, By false customs, loves a government
such .. this, with an affection too pure and
ard.nt to be crushed by ordinary abuses.
For its maintenance he il ready, ike It's
founders, TO pledge, his life, hi. fortune and
his sacred honor; for its salvation in the hour
Of It's peril, he has ever been ready to brave
dangers, hsrdsh,ps and deprivations.
