111 the day 9 of Gothic tradition, ere man hnd
learned duly to appretiate his right, manual
strength gave umpire, and the weaker felt a
temporary existence in tacitly obeying the will
and caprice of some redoubted chief.
But m the present enlightened period, when
knowledge is so diffused, when each individual
has an opportunity of deriving information from
the book of science, and thereby forming his
opinion of things, oil the basis of truth and jus
tice, it is strange, that thousands are still led as
cattle to the slaughter, in obedience to the will
of a tyrant; forgetful of the accumulating niise
r such servility entails on themselves and their
posterity. God, in the infinitude of his good
ness formed man lord of the soil with equal in
heritance ; he did no: say to any particular
mail, stand erect, and all shall bow before thy
sivay, because thou art made of superior materialsJ
but lit- has said, “ thou shalt bow to none other
than me / Then who has a right to sat, (lar
ther than poWet is delegated to him from tin
gov, rued, and predicated on lus merit,) me
shalt thou cat master, majesty and kilty, for lam
of nobler blood, tj ye are my slaves ?
He that possesses virtue 8t knowledge shot.la
unquestionably have a decided preference m so
ciety, because he is more eminently qualified
& disposed to improve (St leattodiers mine path
of rectitude: but for a dotard, u spendthrift a,•
a drunkard, to arrogate this privilege to huu
se it, is monstrous indeed! The doctrine of
legitimacy, is the scourge of Europe, as it chains
the better understanding and unnerves the arm
of resistance. Tho’ Peter may be a very good
and informed man, it does not follow of course,
that, Peter's sou, possesses his father’s good
qualities j and if not, that lie should be end
tied to his father’s prerogatives. Merit alone
should give pre-ferment, and a representative
democracy is the only form of government cal
culated to produce ibis effect: a few more
yj\gs, and millions shall learn and appretiate
tms truth. America at a period not far distant
will be the umpi e of the world ; will shape ns
interests and energies until like her, all siiali
repose in happiness.
America ! what thoughts are associated with
thy name : ho.v solemn, how grand, how de
iighfui! songs of joyous thankb rise to heaven
fbr its benincent care of .hee—the page of his
tory shall proclaim to pos.ei ily, tby virtue and
thy strength in batile.
