atrocious crimes, conflicting errors, skep-

on points the most mysterious. II is just at
this crisis that its enemies love TO exhibit IL.
They pull down the scaffolding from the
half-finished edifice; they point TO the fly
ing dust. the falling bricks, the comfortless
rooms. the frightful irregularty of the
whole appearance; and then ask in scorn
where the promised splendor and comfort is
to be found. II such miserable sophisms
were to prevail, there would never be good

There is only one cure for the evils which
newly acquired freedom produces; and that
cure is freedom. When a prisoner first

remand him into his dungeon but to accus-
