Honest John Patterson as a Financier
—There is a disposition manifested in some
quarters, says the New York Sun, to depre
ciate the ability of Honest John Patterso:
the newly elected Senator from South Car
lina, probably because ho found it necessary
to spend money among the negroes and car-
pot-baggers of the Palmetto State in order
to securo their votes, as if tho South Caro
lina Legislature would vote for anybody un
less they were paid for doing so. In fact,
Mr. Patterson is a man of eminent talent,
his strong point being railroad financiering,
a science which he studied in Pennsylvania,
where it has been brought to almost a state
of perfection. Probably his most brilliant
financial achievement was his manipulation
of tho Blue ltidgo Railroad, whereby through
the trifling expenditure of $13,500, exclusive
of moneys paid to tho members of the Leg
islature, Honest John and his associates be
came tho owners of stock which had cost the
State of South Carolina $1,300,000, and ob
tained control of property which had cost
the people of that State over $4,000,000.
man with the genius for such a financial
operation as that must bo a most valuable
acquisition to the Senate, and if he is lortu-
nate enough to escape the penitential*}- and
take his seat, his speeches on financial ques
tions will doubtless excite profound atten
tion from Senators of all shades of politics.
Proof of corruption in the election of
Caldwell as Senator from Kansas accumu
late with every day’s sitting of the commit
tee hearing the case. Yesterday his con
fidential “manager” was upon the stand,
and told the whole story. How to effect a
loophole of escape for Caldwell, now, is a
matter that would puzzle even tho proverbi
ally sbarp-witted lawyers of this city—For

Chevalier Forney is certainly growing
humbler as he grows older, and if he keeps
on in his present course of reproving the
scoundrels in his jiarty and denouncinj
Radical rascality in high places, we shall
feel constrained to have a better opinion of
him, and take back some hard things we
have said about him. If he goes on growiug
truthful, honest and virtuous, he will soon be
out of place in the Radical party.
Prayers for an Ungodly Class.—At the
daily prayer-meeting in the First Congrega
tional Church in Washington City,on Friday
evening, the importance of having good
men as editors and publishers was consider
ed, and prayer was offered for t^e men of
this class in Washington and elsewhere.
This sort of active philanthropy is cer
tainly very praiseworthy on the part of the
brethren of the First Congregational Church,
hut if their prayers for the editors and pub
lishers of tho country are of no more avail
than they have been in tho reformation of
the Radical officials and members of Con
gress within the sound of their voices, they
will not accomplish much good.
About noon on Tuesday, Mr. C. A. Shivers,
a Clerk in Messrs. Hams & Tetor’s drag
store, Macon, while attending to his ordina
ry duties, fell to tho floor in a fit of appo-
plexy, and has since been lying in a very
critical condition. Dr. Blackshear was called
in at once, and found the unfortunate maD
lying on the floor where he bad fallen, with
his face covered with blood, from a wound
on tbe head occasioned by the fall. At a
late hour oji Tuesday night h-a was still un
conscious aud his pulso very low. The Doc
tor was hopeful but manifested a good deal
of anxiety as to the result. Mr. Shivers had
been in bis usual good health and cheerful
up to the moment of the attack.
Crime appears still to move in a mysteri
ous way in New York. On Monday morn
ing an unknown man suddenly made his ap
pearance in a concert saloon, shot the pro
prietor, Charles Christy, and then quietly
made his escape from tho premises. It is
clear that the roughs have not yet made up
their mirnls that Stokes or anybody e’so is
to be hung, aud tb erefore, they continue to
“ply their vocation,” in view of the gross
aud culpable laxity which has heretofore
marked the execution of the laws in the
great metropolis.
Two additional amendments to the Consti
tution of the United States were proposed
in the House of Representatives on Monday-
one restricting the imposition of duties on
imports exclusively to tho payment of the
public debt and interest, and to consolidate
tho present debt at a uniform rate;of interest,
aud to extinguish it at tho rate of $50,000,000
a year ; the second providing for future
Constitutional amendments by a three-fifths
vote of both Houses of Congress, or by a
convention called by State Legislatures, Ac.
himself as a candidate for United States
Senator, and invoked the people’* Bepresen-
tatives to “throw aside their prejudices and
predilections and discharge their solemn
obligations* by sending the ablest man to
Washington; ’ thus, by inference, putting
his claim to election on the ground of su
perior abilities. This is a modest appeal to
say the least of it, but wo have do doubt
that it was made with a grace and earnest
ness all his own.
We can well believe that his speech was
all that our correspondent describe* it to
have been. For when did the Hon. Ben Hill
ever fail to talk well on anv question, or any
side of any question? When did he fail to
do more than justice to his favorite theme,
himself ? or when did he ever fail to stand
forth the champion of any kind of political
principles when his purposes were to be
served by such championship?
We can well understand how his eloquence
inspired the enthusiasm of his hearers,
eliciting outbursts of applause. Mr. Hill can
tickle the ears of any crowd, and could have
as easily won vociferous plaudits from Came
ron, Delano, Bullock, Joe Brown, Blodgett
and Lochrano, at that Kimball House Ban-
quett, where he “dined on hope and pur
pose,” as earnest and as disinterested as the
motive which inspired his speech last night.
Our objection to Mr. Hill is not that he
does not speak well, nor that he is not a
man of transcendent ability, but because he
lacks stability. As his friend and confrere,
Joe Brown, says, “Mr. Hill is a smart man,
but he lacks judgment,” to which he might
have added—though it would have come
with a bad grac^ from Joe Brown—“and
political integrity.” Had we a bad case in
Court, we would as soon trust it in tbe
hands of Joe Brown and Ben Hill as in those
of any other special pleaders to be found
in the Georgia bar, but they are the last
men in tho State, now that Bullock aud
Blodgett are out of it, that we would seloct
to represent the principles and maintain the
rights which we hold sacred in the Senate of
the United States.
We know where Mr. Hill says he stands
now, but we don't know where he would
stand ten days after his arrival in Washing
ton. We concede liis ability, but we have
no confidence in his political “judgment” or
integrity, and if wo are to have a Senator
upon whose fidelity to sound Democratic
principles we cannot rely, we prefer to have
a man of less ability.
>Vhat Nationalism Means.
In another column we publish an article
entitled “A National Government,” copied
from The Federalist, a weekly political and
literary journal, the first number of which
has just been issued in New York. We re
publish the article in order that our readers
may learn from it what is meant by “Na
tionalism” as advocated by thoso who op-
poso the Democratic doctrine of constitu
tional limitation and State sovereignty. The
views expressed by the writer of the article
from The Federalist are a little in advance
of the declared doctrine* of the National
Republican or Radical party, but a very lit
tle investigation of the principle* and politi
cal action of that party will serve to con
vince the reader that there is no material
difference between Congressional Radicalism
and the Nationalism advocated by The Fed
eralist; and that tho policy which governs
the faction who at present control the Fed
eral Government must, if persisted in, lead
directly to the adoption of the line of construc
tion of the Constitution maintained by the
writer. The editor of The Federalist en
dorses the President’s course in using the
Federal judiciary and military power for the
overthrow of local State government in Lou
isiana, and in another article, still further
defining his position, says:
“It is neither monarchy nor an extension
of the Presidential term of office, nor indeed
any change whatever in the form of our Na
tional Government that we advocate. We
would not alter the Constitution a jot. But
we would construe the Constitution as Ham
ilton construed it; we would revive the latent
force of the instrument and wield its great
powers as they were intended to be wielded
from the point of view of a Nation rather than
a confederacy, and enable America to accom
plish her destiny, by strengthening her in
ternal organization, and binding together
her now diffused and scattered strength.’
The declaration, though bolder and freer
from subterfuge than the platforms of the
Radical consohdatiouists is perfectly con
sistent with the principles and policy of the
party whose aim is, by a forced construction
of what remains of the Constitution, and tho
aid of a corrupt moneyed aristocracy,to erect
a centralized despotism on the rains of what
was our Constitutional Union of States. The
article entitled “A National Government,” is
interesting as setting forth in undisguised
terms the aims of the Radical party. It leaves
no room to doubt what is tbe true issue
now before the country, and which the next
four years must decide, perhaps for all time.
in organization and the appointment of com
ruittees, no business of interest outside of
tbe fraternity having been transacted. The
second day’s proceedings are of interest to
the press and the public at large. From the
official report we make the following ex
tracts:
The committee on the death of Mr. Thos.
Ragland and Gen. A. li. Wright, read the
following rejiort which was received and
adopted:
REPORT ON THE DEATH OF THOMAS RAGLAND
AND GENERAL A. R. WRIGHT.
Since the last meeting of the Press Asso
ciation death has stricken from this body,
two of its most useful representatives, and as
to one of them must brilliant members. In
Thomas Raglaml, Lsq., proprietor for thirty
years of the Columbus Enquirer, and Gen
eral Ambrose ^Ransom Wright, editor-in
chief of the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel,
the press has lost two of its worthiest expo
nents; society two noble exemplars and orna
ments, and the State two of the best citizens
that ever lived or died within her borders.
In view of this two-fold loss, the Press As
sociation of Georgia Resolves,
L That it hereby officially announces its
profound sense of regret and’bereavement at
the death of these two conspicuous and dis
tinguished members.
2. That in Thomas Ragland we recognize
those sterling qualities of character that
constitute at once the strength and the good
repute of the business management of
Georgia journalism.
3. That in Gen. A. R. Wright we mourn
one of the ablest, most eloquent and intrepid
editors that Georgia, or any other State,
ever bad to grace and illustrate the press,
or ever honored with affection and respect.
4. That these resolutions be published and
copies be sent by the Secretary of tbe Asso
ciation to the immediate families of the de
ceased.
In conclusion, we apply to our departed
and cherished brothers those rare aud
touching words of a gifted genius under
solemn sorrow:
“Peace be to tbe dead. 'Regret cannot
wake them! With a sigh to the departed,
let us resume the dull business of life, in the
certainty that we also shall have our re
pose.”

mittee of three on the subject of county ad

man who, after retiring, made a report
which, with slight amendment, was received
and adopted, as follows :
Resolved, That the practice of soliciting
county advertising from county officers,
who are at the time under annual contract
or agreement with a particular paper, is ex
ceeding tho rules of legitimate competition,
aud that the offering to do such advertising
at reduced rates or to pay a percentage or
bonus to such officer or officers as induce
ment to change his or their official journal,
is disreputable and should subject tbe
offender to expulsion under article VHI of
the Constitution.
Resolved, That the acceptance, knowing
ly, of county advertising without advance
payment from a county officer who is in ar
rears with his former publisher, is unjust,
unprofessional and dishonorable, and that
any member so offending shall be expelled,
published and stricken from the excliango
list of this Association.

Resolved, That any member who shall ac
cept such advertising, in ignorance of such
officer’s arrears, aud who shall refuse or fail
to discontinue the same, on proof of the
fact, by the publication of such officer as a
defaulter, shall be subject to like punish

Resolved, That the rates for legal adver
tising agreed upon by this Association, on
the 9tli of May, 1872, in section 3 of “a bill
to be entitled an act to regulate the mode,
manner aud prices of publishing the legal
advertisements of the several counties of
this State,” are fair and just, aud that bid
ding below said rates to obtain patronage
engaged by another paper, is to all intents
ana purposes ‘ underbidding,” and should
be classed with the crime of “ratting.”
It seems that the cotton tax refunding
scheme is ready to come to a head. A dead-
set is to bo made on Congress by a lobby
which is backed by Southern State Legisla

There is nothing to justify the remotest

The following resolutions were offered by

Resolved, That any member of the Geor

insert advertisements, or enter into contract
with any advertising agency, or any other
parties, to insert advertisements for less
than the minimum rates printed in our
schedule of prices, shall be expelled from
the Association and dropped from ihe list

Mr. Secretary Belknap has notified the
Superintendent of tbe United States Military
Academy, at West Point, that it is the in
tention of “the powers that be” to require
the presence of the cadets at Washington
on the fourth of March next, on the occa
sion of the inauguration of President Grant.
The World desires to know by what au
thority or out of what appropriation the
Secretary spends the money for this per
formance.
Patterson in Troeble.—Patterson, tlio
carpet-bagger, of South Carolina, who
bribed his way to a seat in tho Senate, i3 to
be cat-hauled. His credentials are to bo re
ferred to the Committee of Privileges and
Elections, and the accusation of bribery
brought against him is to he investigated.
Elliott, the member of the House trom
South 'Carolina, who was hie competitor for
the Senate, is his accuser, and he will follow
him up with a malicious energy.
A number of Boston workmen, inste d of
being grateful to Grant for securing them
as far as in his power ten hours’ pay for
eight hours’ work, inform him in a set reso
lution just laid before Congress that they
are severely opposed to raising the Presi
dential salarv from $23,000 to $50,000, “as
wages are always lowest in thoso countries
where governmental or official salaries are
highest;” which is absurdly untrue, both as
a fact aud as cause and effect.
Quick Work.—Decently an individual was
arrested in Philadelphia as tho proprietor of
a “panel house,
’ at ten o’clock at night, was
examined the next morning at seven, indict
ed the same day by the Grand July at noon,
tried at half-past one, found guilty at live,
and was immediately sentenced to two years’
imprisonment,
money refunded by the General Govern
ment. If the money collected under tho cot
ton tax law is to be returned at all, it should
be ou tho grounds of strict equity and
right. If tho law was unjustly discrimina
ting or unconstitutional, th6n tbe money
collected under it should be refunded to
those who actually paid tho tax. Mr. McIn
tyre’s bill provides a simple, direct and cer
tain mode of accomplishing that object. If
tho bill is founded on principles of equity
and justice, it should need no lobby influ
ence to secure its passage by Congress. The
people of the South who paid the tax are
concerned in no “job.”
Resolved, That any newspaper in Georgia,
whether a member of this Association or
not, violating the foregoing resolution, shall
be struck from the mail books of every
member of the Association; and that each
member bo requested to publish the above
resolution as often as practicable.
After a liberal discussion of matters of
general interest to the Association, tho Con
vention adjourned sine die.

By Mr. Estes—A bill to incorporate the
Gainesville Railroad.
By Mr. Hoyt—A bill to change the time of
the annual meeting of the Legislature in
1874 to the third Wednesday in July.
By Mr. Hudson—A bill to provide for the
registry of voters in the State.
By Mr. Lester—A bill to make it penal for

By Mr. Cain—A bill to amend section 3482
of the code; also, a bill to pay the President
of the Senate and Speaker ot the House three
hundred dollars salary, and members two
hundred dollars each, and mileage to be
computed from the nearest route, members
having free passes on roads to have mileage
deducted.
[The consideration of this bill was indefi
nitely postponed by a vote of yeas, 20; nays,

tious on the bill introduced in reference to
the pay of members, moved to amend by re
quiring Senators to peddle chestnuts and
peanuts on the train and pay over the net

The bill to amend sections 4,248 of tho
code, making it a Penitentiary offence for
any person to steal over the value of fifty

for any amount under fifty dollars, was
passed.

The following bills were passed :
A bill to amend the garnishment laws.
A bill to amend tbe sections 2,013 and
4,432 of tho code.
A bill to require the Secretary of State to
furnish blank election returns in envelopes

In the House.
The House Committee on Privileges and

The Senate resolution providing for the
appointment of a joint committee of seven
from each House, to draft a bill reducing
tbe number of Judicial Circuits in the State,
was concurred in. This subject creates con
siderable interest and uneasiness in judicial
circles, but it is thought no change will be
made, as it is impracticable in tho present
condition of aff^rs.
Resolutions were passed tendering the use
of the Hall of Representatives to General
Gordon to deliver an address on Friday, aud
to Mr. Stephens for Saturday evening.
The status of the Senatorial race is un
changed. It seems to be badly mixed.
Mr. Hill’s speech to-night was a magnifi
cent effort and was received with outbursts
ol enthusiasm. He reviewed the theory of
the Government, analysed and explained the
amendments to the Constitution, and demon
strated that the Government is still one of
limited powers. He announced himself a
candidate for the Senate and appealed to
the Representatives to throw aside their pre
judices and predilections and discharge their
solemn obligations by sending the ablest
men to Washington. The speech had a
marked effect and occupied over two hours in
its delivery.

New York, January 16.—The brigantine
Mary Joles has been lost at sea. The crew
were all saved. Two lady passengers were
lost iu the cabin. The steamer Idaho is here
short of coal. The steamer Edgar Stewart
is at Key West under command of Captain
Sommers, formerly of the United States

for the Cubans. Tbe Stewart lauded eleven
Cuban passengers from Aspinwall, including
Colonel A. Guero.
The steamer Erie, burned off Point Ambueo,
had twenty thousand bags of coffeo for New
York. A denso fog interrupts all kind of
navigation.
Tho Times' New Orleans special ol the
15th says: “In the Republican Legislature
to-day John Ray was elected for the vacaucy
in the United States Senate in place of Kel
logg, resigned, and late acting Gov. Pinch-
back, was elected for the long term.
Iu the Fusion body ex-Gen. W. L. McMillau

and appropriate contestants. There is noth

good man in the whole lot is John Ray.
Congressman Svpher was a candidate be
fore the Republican body, but his color did
not suit, as was also the case with Nortin and
ouo or two other aspirants for Senatorial
honors.
The Times editorially says: “Yesterday
the complications in affairs in Louisiana
were increased by the election of two United
States Senators. The late Acting Governor
Pinehback and the late Governor Warmoth
are tho persons selected by the Kellogg and
McEnorv Legislatures, respectively. The
public careers of both aro known, and are
very bad. Pinehback is a colored man, aud
represents a class of keen, unscrupulous,
ambitious leaders of tho colored race who
have done much to excite suspicion and ap
prehension with reference to its political ac
tion. Warmoth is much the worse of the
two, for he has more education, experience,
and acquired influence; but ho has no more
conscience or appreciation of decent public
opinion. It will be a humiliating spectacle
to seo either of them admitted to the Senate
of the United States.”
thousand millions a year. W ith an improved
administration of justice it would fall to five
per cent., and save the nation six hundred
millions a year in interest.
Moreover, there is too much reason to fear
that a considerable portion of the debts due
by the States and Municipalities will either
be repudiated or suffered to be protested on
maturity. This is a National question, in
which every man in the country possesses an
interest; for such an occurrence will be sure
to affect the credit of every State, corpora
tion aud individual in the Union. The Uni
ted States Government cannot afford to let
the paper of any of the States go to protest,
and should be prepared with measures to
avert such a disaster. These measures
should provide that when a State fails to pay
its indebtedness or the interest thereon, the
United States shall do so, and re-imburse it
self by relegating such State to the territo
rial condition, and assuming control of its
finances, which it may administer after the
manner of a receiver. *
The creation and control of corporations
by the States and their assumption of power
over the local affairs of the municijialities
have become evils which are also of National
interest aud also demand the interference of
Congress. Railway and insurance corpora
tions, quite as much as banking houses, de
mand tho protection and supervision of a
government amenable to the whole people,
instead of to onlv comparatively small com
munities thereof. In short, all corporate
bodies, except those of strictly local natu^,
should be created and governed by the peo
ple at large—the only government that can
hold them in check, restrain their excesses,
and in turn, protect them from State legisla
tive “strikers.”
The control aud management of harbors,
anchorages, wharfages, and quarantines, es
sentially National subjects, but now prosti
tuted to the greedy apetites of remorseless
State officials, and in fine, the supervision
of all those matters in which are bound up
the “happiness and safety of America in
general,” shonld at once be assumed by Con
gress in tho name of the people.
Organized anarchy is the only term that
correctlv describes the condition of our peo
ple to-day, and such a condition calls for
immediate relief. We must have liberty,
security and justice; and since the States
have failed to afford us these inalienable
rights, if there existed no other reason, the
Federal Government is bound to do so in
their place.
$ It is not capitalists who are most con
cerned in a resumption of its latent powers

Health of Montgomery, Alabama—The
Advertiser of Sunday says meningetis aud
pneumonia are doing a sad work in this
community at tbe present time. About fif
teen deaths from these diseases have oc
curred during the last three days. Tho late
terrible weather caused most of this sick
ness, but as it seems to be clearing off now,
and becoming a little more settled, we hope
soon to hear that tho scourges born of it
have abated.
Gin House Burned.—The gin house of
Mr. John Faulk, of Houston county, Ga.,
together with thirty bales of cotton aud the
seed from some fifty or sixty bales, was de
stroyed by fire last Friday afternoon. The
fire was purely accidental. It occurred
while the gin was in operation, and was
caused either by a match having gotten into
the cotton, or by friction in some portion of
the gin. The loss is a very serious one to
Mr. Faulk.
Baptismal Pants.—Here is something
original enough. The National Baptist ad
vertises “ baptismal pants ” for sale ; and
another paper in Pennsylvania, instead of
resorting to chromos to gain, subscribers,
after tho universal custom now-a-davs,
comes with an entirely original article, and
offers this unique garment as a promium to
subscribers. Tho Worcester Spy finds some
thing rather ludicrous in the advertisement,
and wonders whether the minister or the
person he is baptising wears the “pants;” and
whether these articles of “ecclesiastical tail
oring ” are essential to the valid performance
of tho rite. The Baptist Weekly does not
look with favor upon the new garment, and
says, “ From man millinery and baptismal
pants, deliver us!”
A correspondent of the Spy “ rises to ex
plain ” in tho next issue. He says the pants
do not belong at all to the category of “ ec
clesiastical tailoring,” but aro simply pants
made of rubber cloth which the minister
wears in administering the ordinance, to
save himself the trouble of changing his
clothes after the service. He states that
they are quite expensive, being made of such
flexible material that the audience would not
observe that ho was dressed in thorn, and
therefore few ministers can afford them,
which fact, this correspondent thinks, may
have led the Pennsylvania paper to offer them
as a premium to subscribers.
CONGRESSIONAL.
Washington, January 16.—The House dis
cussed tho bill admitting Colorado as a State
without action. Tho Oklahama bill estab
lishing territorial governments for the In
dians was tabled. The action seriously af
fects tho railroads from North to South load
ing in + o Texas through the Indian territory.
The bill amending the agricultural collego
act, and extending tho time for granting
lands passed the Senate.
The snag boat bill for Western rivers
passed the Senate, and goes to the Pi
dent.
The bill fixing the second Monday of Oc
tober for opening the Supreme Court was
passed.
Senator Morton offered a resolution in
structing the Committee on Privileges and
Elections to inquire whether there is a legal
State government in Louisiana, and if so, by
whom constituted. He said he was authoi
ized by the majority of the committee to
offer the resolution, and stated that the de
sign of it was to give the committee authori
ty to go into the whole subject matter of
the investigation already committed to them.
Senator Saulsbury offered an amendment
directing the committee, if it found no legal
government existing in Louisiana, to in
quire when it ceased to exist, and whether
any Federal officer, executive or judicial,
had anything to do with overthrowing it.
Tho amendment was lost. Morton's reso
lution was then adopted.

THE SAN DOMINGO PURCHASE.
New York, January 16.—Some months
ago several business men of the highest
financial standing conceived tho idea of pur
chasing Samana bay and peninsula, for
which the Government attempted to nego
tiate in 1869. A correspondence took place
between them and the Dominican Govern
ment, and the prospects appearing favorable
for tho realization of their design, a com
pany was formed, with the following offi
cers: President, Alden B. Stock well; Vice
President, Paul N. Spofford: Treasurer,
Henry Clews; Secretary, R. It. Hazard. Di
rectors; Fred Schuchardt, Geo. W. Pullman,
C. K. Garrison, Oliver Ames, Samuel G.
Howe, Wm. G. Fargo and S. L. M. Barlow.
After several meetings it was resolved to
send a special steamer, with three commis
sioners, bearing with them the amount of
tho purchase money in gold, to consummate
tho transaction. The steamer Tybeo was
chartered for tho purpose on the 15th of
December. A convention was held, tho com
missioners representing the company, and
President Baez and Cabral representing the
Dominican Government. After full delibera
tion a satisfactory result was arrived at, and
the purchase effected. The people of San
Domingo ratified the arrangement, aud a
treaty between tho company and the Do
minican Government was concluded, to go
into effect January 1st, 1873. Tho company
is granted almost all the right of an inde
pendent government. It will have its own
flag, police and revenue officers, the right
to construct railroads, charter vessels, col
lect taxes, etc., etc. Any question arising
between the company and the Dominican
Government, it is stipulated, shall be re
ferred to some European power for arbitra
tion. On the treaty being completed the
Tybee sailed for Puerto Principe, from
whence tho company received intelligence
of the satisfactory result of the negotiations.
The capital of tho company is twenty mil
lions.

A Naitonal Government.
It is now nearly one hundred years since
the people of the colonies were recommend
ed to organize themselves into governments
of such form as should “best conduce to the
happiness and safety of their constituents in
particular, and to America in general." In
pursuance of this recommendation various
State governments were formed, which up
to a certain period, tolerably well answered
the purposes for which they were created.
That period, however, is now certainly
passed. No observant man can doubt for

passed beyond the influence of tho State

hold tbe former, while the latter has no ex

tyranny and usurpation are not the least.
We are now become too numerous a na
