New Bescon Lights.
There are new lights plenty of1hem |;

| of them. There is a young Emperor who
says. II rule this state. nobody else; follow
me-" There is a little island where many
say: THE state is first-rate contriyance
for doing anything we like with. Let US
get hold of il, and do what We think good
for verybody." There is vast empire
where many star and all say. LET us call
upon the titled father, the white Gar"
There is a great republic over the water
where all say. 1--WE must fight one day; lat
US give all our young men 10 the army and
be ready" But 1 doubt il there is any
thing better anywhere than the old Demo
cratic faith and tradition, which finds IL legit-
innate to consolidate and employ the whole

next and chiefly, to prevent and punish ln-
dividual aggression in order TO so esta biz sh

Senator Hill then spoke Of the social

States would not fit the new republic IN the

Coast we have made laws restricting
Chinese immigration. The only alteration
thus far made in our Governmental struc-

| Senator then spoke OF the endurance of the
Government of the United States citing

who framed il are unmatched in any other

| The late Republican Congress tried TO put
manaces on Southern limbs. The Demo

limbs then wear the same. or are we al!
