butte money to buy votes and to bribe
the peoples representatives, as well as
those who disburse it, are deadly enc
mics of the republic. Their greed and
love of power are greater than their
respect for law, which is the only
safeguard to life end property; and 1t
will be an evil day for the nation when
it's preservation depends upon their
patriotism and courage. They may
masquerade in the garb of righteous
ness, and address the people in the
language of patriotism, but their vir-
tues are assumed; they are hypocrites
and assassins of liberty, and would
welcome a dynasty rather than shed
their blood in defense of popular gov
ernment.
