Stability is as essential in the worl'

the political and religious worlds. II
the latter. we see the Catholic polit.
resting on the single principle of lobe

ON the single principle Of the fright o.

world we find Republican government
resting on the single principle Of IRA
spousibility of rulers to the ruled
with Compromise as its conservative
principle, and Monarchial government,
resting on the single principle OF "arbi'
| trary will"-with force as its conserva.
tive principle. In both. the system
rests on single principle. and is like.
wise conserved. All reasonings prove
that every sound system must rest on
. sound single principle otherwise,
con fusion, conflict and disorder, will
as certainly ensue. as cause and effect
stand related. The doctrine of Dual.
ism does not contemplate system rest
ind on two conflicting principles. but
two such principles as applied after the
basis is formed, and mutually serving
as checks upon each other. This is q
cardinal distinction. which the advo-
Gates of double standard fatally over

distinction is correctly drawn. the
whole scheme Of bi-metalisu. melts

United difference Of sixteen grains of
