how to direct his agents, is regretted

Tire Part Of True Wisdom.

The freest government. If it could
exist, would not be long acceptable
If the tendency Of the laws was to
create a rapid accumulation Of prop
erty in few hands. In the nature
Of things, those who have not prop
erty and see their neighbors possessed
of much more than. they think them
to need cannot be favorable to laws
made for the protection of such prop
erty. When this class becomes nu-
merous 1t grows clamorous. 1t looks
on property as its prey and plumber,
and fs naturally ready at all times for
violence and revolution. 1t would
seem, then, to be the part Of political
wisdom to found government on prop
erty, but to establish such distribution
of property, by the laws which regu-
late its transmission and alienation,
as to interest the great majority Of
society in the support of the govern
ment.+Daniel Webster.
