Its genius and humanity are conspicuous wherever healing wounds are made to gape afresh, and to receive a new infusion of gall and bitterness. There is no doubt that we have a government—a strong one—strong in the number of men whom it can conscript; Wrong in the 'treel ure it con raise by taxation; strong in its power to invade the rights of the States ind the liberties of the citizen: strong In its capanity to override the constitution; strong as Rome was strong, both east and west, under the Emperors i strong as France was 'Wong under the Reign of Terror and the guillotine ; but weak as they were weak when the Goth■ sod Vandals avenged en the seven billed city the wrong of Germans, or when the blood of the murdered Denton choked the despairing Robespierre.

Powers granted to the Federal govern ment Is it not true that every power which is desired to be exercised is found to be granted, and that more would be tound if necessary. Once we believed a funda mental law, guiding legislation and con taining the muniments of personal liberty —so sacred that under no circumstances could it be Infringed, or even amended, ex cept in the method prescribed—to be men-, tial to free government. Now we have wil lingly dispensed with t, and committed tin_ limitteel power to a temporary majority,and this we call flippantly, the will of the rt_ lion. Tell me, does onevingle feature of the Farmer Republio remain! We had a plain and simple and economical government. We, bad light taxes - r<e have _enormous burtheus. We had gold and silver se legal tender ; we have a depreciated government paper currency We had trial by jury and personal liberty ; we have military commis sions made valid by law,•and arbitrary ar rests justified. We had a government whose exactions of money crDty were es light that we scarcely felt its existence ; we have a government whose treogth glitter? in the light of the burnished bayonet, and is reflected in the resplendent lustre of the sword: We had harmony and fraternal concord, and due respect for States and people and opinions and habits ; we have a bitter sectional strife, subjugated people, overthrown States, and an animosity ofpar ty warfare never before known. We had freedom of thought ; we havean intolerance which strikes down Independence of opin ion and prescribe. political differences an a crime, and establishes a searching scruti ny into the heart■ and Consciences of the community.

Liberty inspires the soul. Its sacred fires forever burn amid its epos: ties and defenders. When peaceful means are exhausted, it draws the sword.

Liberty is the great good. Celfederation is to be sought only because it has aided to maintain it, Crn- Lrilization is to be avoided only because it has alwaya destroyed it But at last, lib erty is the life, the emit, and government is the form, the body through which It is de veloped Let us, gentlemen, look al the past only that we may select what is good and avoid what is evil, that we may from its experie nce catch the inspiration of a wise progress, that we may so school our hearts to the lessons of moderation and truth that put riotism and wisdom may guide the courses of the inevitible react ion, and lead us back from the perils of centralised imperialism, to the safety of • confedfrtition, founded, supported and restrained by the ehecksand balances of a wise non titution. Thus if we can not restore the Farmer Republic, we can at least regain the bles sings of liberty regulated by law, and of law enacted and maintained by the spirit of virtuous liberty. D.
