THE PENNSYLVANIA legislature is now
considering proposition for supplying The
children of the poor with clothes to wear at
the free schools. When the order of repnb
lican government is reversed, even 10 ore
particular, and the true rule ofsuch govern
ment-thst it Is the province CT the people
to support the government and not that oil
the government to support the peopie-oe
once broken, long step has been taken
toward loss of liberty and the arrival OF the
man on horseback. The government has
no more right to supply the children OF It's
subjects with school teachers and school
houses than it has to supply them with
school books, and if with books, then with
clothes and if with clothes, then with food ;
and to concede its right to the former, logic
ally implies its right to all the latter. Every
BODY knows that this is unpopular, but none
can deny thst it is true.
