DANGEROUS Tendencies OF INN
TIMES

Nothing Was ever more truly said than
that eternal vigilance is the price OF iIb-
erty. The maxim is one of those proverb-
ial sayings that can not be too often re-
peated' nor too thoroughly impressed upon
the mind OF the citizen. A republican form
OF government has not within itself a prin-
cipie OF unfailing perpetuity: nor is 1t a
phoenix that may renew itself from Tho
flames and ashes Of ignorance and dema-
goglnm.
