All systems of human government are necessarily impoitast to some extent, and. the notions pf their perfection are ideal. Whilst it isi true, therefore, that there is but; one pure government, which is of Divine I origin, yet we claim for the one under which we live, as; established b}’ the Patriot fathers, that it approximates perfection more nearly than any oth er. But with all the institutions that are fostered under our Constitution, which stem necessary for the welfare and j happiness bf mankind; yet deep seated [ hostility, !in threatening atti tucc, openly seeks the destination of our national existence. | That treason wbiih, a little oyer two years ngo,_ was supposed to be a spectre, has grown to be a ijjonster of gigan tic porporlions, nnd thousands of lives of the noble and the 1 brave have been sacrificed to it, in defence of hu man liberty. It may cost thousands iftorc; and'millions of treasure, to pro tect that Bag which has been so sbaitiefnllv insulted, and maintain the honor of* the couritry. What: price could be too great to perpetuate the ; precious boon, in securing which* i brave eons and noble sires periled thcii' [‘•lives, their fortunes and their sacred sacred honor ?” [ Who, in.jtbe name of all that is sacked to the Patriot, can .think for a moment of sympathising with a Slave Aristocracy.,in their bar baric attempt to destroy the fairest 'andpurest Government that God evc r acknowledged ?
