Tlx Fir/2 American Edition.
THE grand principle of Equality,*!' right
ly under Hood, is tile unjji basis on which
Umverfal justice, sacred order, and perfect
freedom, can be firmly built, and permanent
ly secured. The vewof it exhibited in this
elTay, at the Tame tune that it rejrrelfes the
inl'olence of office, the tyranny of pride, and
the outrages of oppieffion j confirm#, i n the
most iorcible manner, the necessity of subor
dination, and the just demands of law ful au
thority. So (ar indeed, from loosening the
bands of Jbciety, that it maintains'iiiviolate,
every natural and every civil dittinctiou,
draws more cloCely every (ocial tie, unites in
one harmonious and justly proportioned sys
tem, and brings men together on the even
ground of the inherent rights of human na
ture, o< reciprocal obligation, and of -a com
