THEgrand principle of Equality, if
■ rightly underdood, is the 'only balls
on which univerl'al jultice, sacred order,
and perfect freedom, can be firmly built,
and permanently secured. The v.ew of
it exhibited in this ellay, at the fame time
that it rrprelfes the insolence of office,
the tyranny of pride,, and t lie outrages of
oppression ; confirms, in the mod forcible
manner, the neceflity of subordination,
and the just demands of lawful authority.
So far indeed, from loosening the bands
offociety, that it maintains inviolate, e
