FREEDOMS TRUE FRIEND.

The true friend of freedom does not
wish to be insulted by the supposition
that he believes each human individual
an erring man, and that nevertheless
the united clamor of erring men has a
character of divinity about 1t; nor
does he desire to be told that the voice
of the people. though legitimately and
institutionally proclaimed and justly
commanding respect and obedience, is
divine on that account. He knows
that the majority may err, and that he
has the right and often the duty to use
his whole energy to convince them of
their error. and lawfully to bring about
different set of laws. The true and
stanch republican wants liberty. but no
defication either of himself or others.
