IGLEADQUARTEES Amur POTOMAC, Oat. 29.
The late movements of this army have re
sulted in extending our lint . ) as far as Batcher's
run, on the Duncan read, a distance of
about three miles beyond our former position
on the left, and in the discovery of the exact
Position of the enemy's lines and works
erected for their defence, as well as the more
complete knowledge of The country between
us and the Sonthside railroad.
It was not believed that the enemy had any
very strong works in this direction, and that
taking them by surprise they could be easily
driven into the inner lines of Petersburg ;
but, to the surprise of all, not only were the
enemy found entrenched on both sides of the
Boynton plank r ad, but that they had strong
works on both sides of the Run, extending
several miles.
The second corps, in their 'charge on the
plank road', drove the rebels from their works
on the south of the run, and across the bridge.
of which they held possession until ordered
to withdraw. In the advance of the fifth
corps they moved on the South of the run, and
the road being very crooked in this vicinity,
by keeping close to it there was a gap between
its left and the right of the second'
corps. The enemy took advantage of
this, and massing in the woods under
cover made a most determined assault on the
right of the 2d division of the 2d corps, evi
dently with the intention of capturing the
'entire force on the right ; their charge for a
very short time was a 'success, but our men
rallied, charged in turn, and driving the re
bels back cut off the greater Tart of Ander
son's brigade of Hill's corps.
The number of prisoners thus taken here
was about 400, including many officers. In
the meantime the sth corps had reached the
enemies works on their 'front and became
hotly engaged; the loss here was not so heavy.
Darkness approaching," and it being deemed
unsafe to occupy so extensive a line with
strong works in front, and exposed to flank
attacks from cavalry, orders were issued to
withdraw about two miles, which was done
without loss.
During the engagement the enemy drove
our men from two guns, but before they could
be removed our men changed and retook them.
The loss of the enemy cannot be stated but
it is thought to be about as heavy as mir own
in killed and wormed, while their loss in pris
oners is much larger titan ours.
We took about 500 , altogether during- the
day.
General Grant and staff were present du
ring the entiro day, aati in company with (-ieu.
Meade witnessed the wious movements.
During Thursday ;night the rebels made an
assault on our works south of where the m.ine
wilt; sprung, but were driven back with cc In
siderable loss.
Near the same place a party from the 1, at
division of the 2d corps made a dash on a
rebel fort and captured it, taking a Colonel, is
Major, a Captain, a Lieutenant with 20 men.
prisoners, and bringing off 2 guns. Our
picket line was advanced here for some dis
tance, and our men still hold their new
ground.

cathinßeview of the Chicago Convention
A Democrat Demolishing Mod-
em Democracy.
The Prate Panic—lts Authors and Objetts,"
The folio wing powerfully eloquent and argu
mentative article, in review of the peace
platform and proceedings of the Copperhead
Chicago Convention, is-from theDanoille Re
view, and was written by the Rev. Robert J.
Breckinridge. We will not detain our read
ers from its perusal by attempting any irrele
vant comments of this magnificent produc
tion. It is in the following language:
The Peaee Pi nte—lts Authors and Ob
jeets.
1. We ha-re before us a small outline map
of the 'United
_Statts, entiled ‘‘Ristorical Sketch
of the Rebellion"—published at the office of the
United States Coast Survey. It has, no doubt,
been inspectOd by many thousands of per
sons, and could be studied, without
much trouble, by every one. A new edi
tion, bringing down the information it
conveys to the time of the new issue, and
widely scattered over the country. should
do more to direct and ,satisfy the minds of
men—both loyal and disloyal—than all the
party documents that will flookthe country
during the impending Presidential canvass.
2. The waving lines drawn across this map,
from east to west, and from`the southerriedgo
of the loyal. States, as they stood when the
war began, drawn south, present to the eye,
most distinctly, the progress of the nation in
subduing the rebellion, in the territorial aspect
of the inatter-d - uring the two years and a
half, extending from July, 1861,. to January,
1864. The blue line divides the loyal States
from those that had seceded; and shows that
in point of territorial extent, the rebellion's
States were fully as large, if not larger tha4
the loyal States, in July, 1861—the period at
which all parties may be considered as having
openly taken position.
3. No line runs north of thin blue line.-' I
No conquest has been made by the insurgents;
All their attempts at invasion have -utterly
_failed. All their destructive raids have
ended in defeat, and, probably, iu the aggre,
gate, the whole raid, invasion, and guerrilla
systems of the rebels, have cost them a great
deal more than they ever gained by them.--
The bare inspection of this map shows that
the . : insurgents were never able to wage aacres
sive war with the United States. Their silly
boasts, their insolent pretensions, their al);
surd demands, their boasted skill in war, are
all oxploded by this map. It is clear to
every one' who will look st this map, that the
independence of the revolted States never was
possible, by arms.
'4. The red line shows the state of the tern: ,
tonal question, in July, 1863—two years sites
the war began. Thilred line embraces, adding
the spaces blockaded, nearly the entire, At
lantic and Gulf coast of the rebel States;'they
had lost it all. Then it embraces a country,
extending from the Atlantic to the west, as
far as the Indian country south of Kansas, a
distance of fifteen. hundred miles, or more.
This red line runs, waving south, from both ,
its eastern and western extremity, so as to
embrace the country on both sides of the
Mississippi river, and that on the Gulf shore,
for some distance both ways from New Or
leans. In its greatest width, from south to
north, this conquered region is a thousand
miles wide, or more, and its average width"
cannot be less-than five or six hundred Miles.
That is, a country fifteen hundred miles long,
by five hundred miles wide, is conquered,
overrun, occupied, and rendered useless to
the rebels in their further attempts. Their
whole seaboard is lost, the best half of their
country is conquered; and the portion left is
.cut in two; all in two year. And yet, men
.who desire us ti believe that they are not
,enly loyal, but honestand truthful, profess to
believe that the war has been a total failure,.
and that the safety of the nation demands the
immediate cessation of hostilities, and the
conclusion of peace on the best terms we can
5. The yellow line across this map, shows
the territory we conquered from the insur
gents, during about half a . year, extending
from July, 1863, to January, 1864—when the
"Historical Sketch" terminates. This yellow
line adds to our conquests a considerable ter
ritory, along its eastern course, and south of
its western portion. So the territorial A!rues
tion stood at the commencement of the year
1'864. The disgraceful reverse of our arms
m icier General Banks, has temporarily lost us
te r ritory west of the Mississippi. The &amp
utal Nle failures by General Sigel and General
Hum 'ler, have temporarily arrested our con;
ques t c l in Central Virginia.* But the glorious
career of General Grant, General Meade, Gen
eral Sh, erman, and Admiral Farragat, are ex
tending . and confirming our conquests in the
very vita,. 's of the rebel country. As far as can
be clearly understood at this moment, the fall
of Richmond, of Mobile, and the destruction
of the rebel. power in Georgia—all three of
which, events' are eminently probable and
near at hand —liana put the whole rebellion
at the mere 3 nerey of our Government. On
the other hand, ofFfailure of complete success,
for the present, n all three of these enter
prises, which is utterly improbable, would
leave the cam paig.o of 1864 one of decisive
success to the Units 'd States; and would leave
the insurgents without the least rational hope
from the further prosecution of the war. Yet,
it is in these circramstaxces, when a outraged
people have absolute triumph immediately in
their grasp—triumph, thet secures for all time
the greatest blessings—among them, Union,
independence, and freosdora—and at the same
time, punishes the greatest and most heinous
crimes; that the most vehement efforts are
made to alarm the, nation into 1 / 4 a disgraceful
and ruinous comproinis4.with repels; un-

action and glorious victories of Gen. Sheridan and hist,
brae% followers. The Shetland°. lb Valley is 'now com
pletely rid of the Invader. No d 'oubt 'Dr. Breektiarldge
will acknowledge this face in some shape, but we deem It
of sufficient Impottantie to record II with our reprints or
his great article—Zenon UMW 7L-
der the false and base pretext, that we are
ourselves ignominiously beaten ! It is a mock
ery to speak of patriotism, or loyalty, as actu
ating such attempt.
There is another material aspect of this
question of ignominious and destructive peace,
so fiercely urges upon us, which is suggested
by a population table, taken from the census
of 1860, and printed in one corner of this
map. The total population of the nation, by
that census, was a littlerucaer 31,500,000. Of
these, a little under 27,500,000 were free peo
ple; of whom a little over 22,200,000 belonged
to the twenty-four loyal States—including
Kansas and West Virginia—and including
about 200,000 inhabitants of the Territories,
and alittle under 5,300,000 belonged to the
eT
seven disloyal States. For a moment let us re
count these eleven disloyal States, and fix in our
minds what their 5,300,000 inhabitants hate
been'able to do against the 22,500,000 inhab
iting.the twenty-four loyal States and the Ter
ritories, to justify the enormous clamor, that
we must sue for, peace. We have shown the
ease in the aggregate; let us see the details.
Alabama—the northern part and the sea-coast
conquered and in our possession; the southern
part, the present seat of war. Arkansas—the
western part still in arms—the northerh and
eastern parts conquered and held by us. Flor
ida—all its Sea-coast, and portions of its in
terior conquered and held by us; the rest a
theatre of war. Georgia—occupied on the
sea-board by us; its northern and western
parts conquered—its central portion occupied
by the army under Sherman. Louisiana—,
the greater part of 'it conquered and occupied
by us—the western portion a theatre of war.
Mississippi—conquered and occupied; bands
of guerrillas roaming over it, completing its
desolation. North. Carolina—its sea-board
chiefly held by`us—its frontiers, on all sides,
partial theatres of war; its immediate fate de
pends on the.eperations of Grant and Sher
man. South Carolina—portions of it held
by us, including all "its sea-board, its fate
follows that of Georgia. Tennessee—con
quered and ocenpied by us; still desolated in
portions of it by rebel guerrillas. Texas
—large,pOrtions of, it have been, conquered
and occupied; the defeat of General Banks in
Arkansas, 1864, temporarily preserved Texas
from complete subjugation. Virginia—poor
Virginia, has lost the whole . State of West
Virginia, and has suffered more in three years
of rebellion than 'all the rebel States would
have suffered in three httndred years in the
Union, even if every grievance they com
plained of had been strictly true. This com
pletes the eleven States. And we demand,
in the name of all that Ought to be held ea ?
cred by . truthful ifien, if there is anything
hare to justify our alarm, even if we were all
poltroons ? There may be, much to excite our
wonder at the infinite folly of the insurgent
add our compassion'or them; zeneh also to
excite our abhorrence of those parties in the
loyal States that have habitally deceived the
ineurgents with false hopes, and habitually,
sought to dismay the loyal people with pre
tended dangers.
7. But this aspect of the case is not coin
plete,.until we have considered the slave elo-,
ment in the two sections, and its bearing
upon this peace panic. There were in 1860,,
not quite. 4,000,000 of negro slaves. Of these
a little over 3,500,900 were embraced in the
eleven States that revolted; a little less than
450,000 inhabited slave States that did not re ,
volt. Observe, there were, therefore, eight ne
gro slaves in the eleven revolted States, for ev
ery negro slave in the twenty-four loyal States.
Observe, on the other hand, there were four free
persons 'in the
.twenty-four loyal States, to;
every freis person in the eleven revolted States.:
Observe Again, there were two negro slaves to:
every three free persons in the eleven revolted
States; while there were fifty free persons to
every negio slave, in the twenty-four loyal
States. If slavery was an element of strength,
the -revolted - States hid this elenient in an:
enormously preponderating ratio. And in this
case, 'the loyal States had the clearest possi
ble right to destroir it; forhotever clear might
be the; right of the slave States, under the
Constitution, to hold slaves as property, their
obligation was equally clear not to turn that
property to the'destnittion of others, much
less the nation itself; and the right to destroy:
the property was perfect as soon as it was•
used in that manner. If, however, the exist
ence of 'slavery was an'element of weakness,
teen just to the extent of that weakness, was
the one free rebel's hopeless inability to con
quer four free patriots; made more hopeless
from the start. But, in effect, all of the
4,000,000 of slaves,..may be said, without ex-.
aggeration, to have been on the side of the
nation, and against the rebels; which at once
changed the ratio from fohr to one, to five to
one, as between the. loyal strength and the
rebel strength, when the war began. From.
one hundred thousand negro soldiers, and up;
ward, to whatever w number they may grow, is,
one appreciable result of the change of ratio
of strength, just stated; and it is but one
amongst many such elements. We
,have no
' use to make at present, of this entire branch
of our great national question, except to
bring it face to , face with this • ignominious
!peace panic. titter contempt is the natural
emotion, with which every soul capable of ono
brave thxob might be expected to look upon
the attempt to alarm us into a humiliating
cessation of arms, preparatory to the independ
ence of the insurgents. We do not feel inclined
to offer indignities to brave men, because
those who plead their cause, rather than fight
for it, make it ludicrous. But we suspect, if
the ferocious peace patriots of the loyal States
had been put in the place of the 5,300,000 reb
els, the 4,000,000 of slaves would have been
nearer their match than the 22,200,000 free
people. It is proper to say, before leaving
this part of ,the subject, that we use, in all we
have said, the 'nearest round numbers; and
that in speaking of loyal persons and rebels
by States, it is again as if speaking in round
numbers. No considerable errors that it
would be possible to guard against, could
arise from this universal method; for what
ever are inherent in the mode of statment
offset each other, by occurring ratably on op •
posits sides.
8. There is, undoubtedly, no very inviting
prospect to the authors of this peace panic;
founded upon the: complete triumph of tho
national cause by arms. Their past and. pre=
sent conduct is too conspicuously bad, in every
sense, to secure them anything but infamy, if
they fail. The greater their disloyal endea
vors may be, provided they come short-of
completely 'destroying; the ,cation, and de
stforini *WI all'virtnous public sentiment,
and all wholesome law; the more sure and
the more signal will be the retribution which
outraged public opinion will hereafter demand
from them, and righteous laws enforce upon
them, and national
. .embarrassments they.
have created - reqUire of them. Their own
alarm arises from the certainty that the nation
Webster.
PRICE THREE CENTS
will conquer the rebels, if the war goes on;
from the certainty that all their own sympa
thy with the rebels in atras, and. all the aid
they can give them, even to the extent of
armed insurrections in the loyal States—can
not prevent, nor long delay, the crushing out
of the rebellion. They, therefore, with a cora
mon accord, lift up this frantic cry for imme
diate peace on , any terms—on the shameless
pretexts that the war, which has'been signally
successful; has been a failure—and that its
continuance; which is fatal to them, is fraught
with nothiiig but our disgrace and ruin.
Their • alarth 'for their own fate, the obvious
ground of which we have just explained, is
manifested in another way, entirely incon
sistent with the pretext that the nation is ex
hausted and defeated- but very pertinent to
men conscious of their offences, and dreading
the consequences—when the nation 'com
pletely triumphs. They say, when we have
conquered the rebels, we shall have subverted
the Constitution and laws, in the process;
and then they also will become the slaves of
the despotism set up by loyal men. By des
potism they mean, whatevery body else means
by regalated liberty under just laws. What
they mean by becoming slaves is, that their
party should be out of power, and that they
should be required to behave themselves, or
be punished when they do not. The whole
disloyal clamor against the public authorities,
since this war began, about tyranny and op
pression in all the varied forms, and innu
merable instances charged, rests upon the
insane assumption that the very end of a gov
ernment of laws, is to protect equally viola
tions of them, and obedience to them. If it
has any other foundation, it is the assumption
that it is more pleasing to God, and far better
for mankind, that all governments and laws
should be destroyed, than that they should
be used for any puipose whatever that does
not tend to gratify, promote and honor the so
called Democracy in every infamous caprice
which vile and diScordant factions succes
sively combine to force ',upon society. In
1860-61, it was through secession that a po
litical millennium was -to be secured. In
1864—that millennium being exploded—it is
by sudden and ignominious peace, sued for in
the midst of a career of triumph, that a new
millennium of impunity, and perpetual sla
very, is to be inaugurated. All the time the
nation is, the victim, and the same priests
ffi
ociate ai r her sacrifice.
9. There are two aspects united in this
peace movement, which the parties to it seem
matually iati.olVE4 keep: distinct, . while melt
ing into one. The platform adopted at Chi
cago is claimed, as far as yet appears, by all
the factions in that convention, as sufficiently
expressing a view in favor of peace; in which
all can se i fficiently unite to vote for M'Clellan
for President, and for Pendleton for Vice
President. But you must look at both of those
candidates'at the same time, or 'else you can
not see the true sense of the Platform, If
you shut the M'Clellan eye, that Platform
changes its appearance very materially. If,
contrariwise, yon shut the Pendleton eye, the
change is equally great; but in an opposite di
rection. Both eyes open are supposed to see
both the candidates•at first; and then, by
steady looking, a new object, supposed to
combine them, comes forth; this they call the
Platform. The conception is ingenious, and
'the process cunning. Most of our readers
have, no doubt, seen the handsome toy called
stereoscope, and very pretty. photographic
cards, by which , binocular . vision, as. they call
it, is illustrated; and hive been instructed and
delighted by the beautiful manner in which
some very curious and interesting truths
are disclosed. We cannot tell whether the
inventor of that instrument took his hint from
the time-honored practice of the Democratic
party, so carefully illustrated at Chicago, or
whether the Democratic party got the hint
from the toy maker. Suffice it, the principle
has been as well applied to the coarse art of
politics for cheating adults, as to the fine arts
for teaching children howthey can cheat them
selves. We the more readily comply-with the
desire of these factions to be considered as
only delusively supervened, one upon the
other, under special circumstances, since, in
effect, other circumstances might possibly oc
cur, in which the safety of the nation might'
be promoted by the reappearance of eaoh fac
tion in its own distinct character.

10. The great difference to boconciliated in
the Platform, by means of looking with one
eye on McClellan, and. the other on Pendle
ton, at the same time, was peace by war, or
peace by panic. - The panic party won the
Platform and the Vice President; - the pre
tended war men won the President. The
Convention, the Platform, the factions, every
thing, is for immediate peace of some sort.—
Some partial exception might once have been
contended for, by obstinate disputants in fa
vor of General McClellan, and the backslid
den Union men of Kentucky. But we imag
ine, their transitory favor for the suppression
of the rebellion is allayed •by the danger of
the "peculiar institution" in the latter case,
and the temptation of the Presidency in the
former. It is true that the first paragraph of the
Platform appears to intimate that fighting was
possible; it professes that all of them "will
adhere with unswerving fidelity to the Union and
the Constitution." But there are so many, and
such mysterious conditions expressed and im
plied, that such a declaration, uttered by
such people, under such dircumstances, and
with such excessive caution in the use of
words, that the declaration may really mean
piace at any price. Sincere men look upon
the matter pretty much as the old Romans
did on the straw that was tied to the horns of
a bulL They were not afraid of the bull—
they feared nothing; but that whisp of straw
was the sign that the bull was vicious. There
are many bad signs here, and the character
was bad to begin with. They say they will
adhere, etc., "in the future as in the pnst.' ,
To
which we reply, if that is all, their "unswerv
ing fidelity to the Union" has already dis
gtleted every loyal man in America. They
limit, moreover, their fidelity to the. Union,
while under that special Constitution which
now is, and as it is. Any change of it, to
special pleaders like these, propably means
that their pledge then fails, and they are no
longer for the Union; especially if the change
were detrimental to slavery—upon which, in
K e ntucky, they are risking everything.. At
the best, the pledge is not the expression of
any devotion to American 'nationality, above,
before , and beyond any particular form it
may assume; but is such an adhesion as a se-
C'easionist might make, to a constitution actu
ally existing. And beildes, a very large part
of this very Convention profess to believe, we
are no nation at all, except so long , as this
Constitution exists; and another large part
profess to believe that the secession of the
Southern States destroyed the Obitstitution, -
and dissolved the Union; and another large
part have actually conspired against the

President as a usurper, on the ground that
there is no longer any lawful Government.—
Considering all this, the Conservatives might
profess that the pledge is distinct to a Union
—at race popular and territorial—making a
nation of States; while the secession peace
men might just as well contend that it is f z
a Union of sovereign States, by way of con
federation. And, in fact, these factions, by
their organs, appear to have already so pro
fessed and contended. Moreover, the two
reasons they give for their devotion are every
way suspicious. The first one, about the
"solid foundation," etc., can last only so
long as we are "a pecple;" which the bulk of
these men either believe we never were, or
believe we have ceased to be; while not one
in fifty of them, if any one at all, appearedto
have any idea that we should any longer
maintain, by arms, our status as "a prople."--
The other reason, about "a frame work of
Government," eta., seems to mean, they are
for the Constitution, because, and so long, as
it teaches ultra States' rights doctrine. We
do not pretend to say that this paragraph of the
Platform can mean nothing different evom
what we have suggested; nor that anfighe,
merely reading the words, without knowir%
parties, or their special situation and objects,
would, at once, see.all we have suggested in
it. But we believe no loyal man, on reading
What we say, and reading this pretended pro
fession of devotion to the Union, will con
sider it honest, and sufficient, in any patriotic
sense. Undoubtedly the great body of the
American people fully believe, that the Chi
cago Convention could not have , t honestly con
structed and uttered a pure and simple pro
fession of devotion to the nation and the Con
stitution, or have honesty declared their purpose
to sustain either, by arms, against the insur
gents." We do that body no injustice, therefore,
'in saying they did neither. They were not
loyal; they were for immediate peace; those
who did not believe the war to be illegal from
the start, because secession was a constitu
tional right, believed that the war was a fail
ure, and its continuance infinitely ruinous.—
Immediate peace,
on any terms, is demanded.
11. We have heard persons, respectable for
intelligence, and occupying important posi
tions in society, denounce the Union party,
the Baltimore Platform, and the President, as
being all committed against the possibility of
peace, except the institution of slavery shall
first lie every where destroyed. Coupled with
this, has generally been a defence of the peace
panic party, and of slavery, on the ground
that all they meant was peace, irrespective o£
every thing but the preservation of the Union
and the Constitution, with a special rejection
of any particular condition against slavery.
We observe that this aspect of the matter has
passed from private talk into the newspapers,
the "campaign documents," and the enormous
.ciprent oratory. It is proper,' therefore; to
disentangle the case.
12. The Baltimore Platform of the Union
party, in its first - resolution, declares for the
maintenance of the integrity of the Union,
and the permanent authority of the Constitu
tion and laws; and for quelling the rebellion
by force of arms, and punishing the crimes of
traitors and rebels. The atmosphere we thus
get into, is widely different from that of Chi
cago. The second resolution dettofinces all
compromises with the rebellion, and repudi
ates "any terms of:peace, excipt such as may be
based on the unconditional surrender of their hos
tility, and a return to their just allegiance to the
Constitution and laws of the United States," and
an express demand is made "upon the Govern
ment to maintain this position," and, from it to
prosecute the war, crush the rebellion, and
save the country. There is the peace doctrine
of the Union party in the United States. They
have never held or uttered any other, and
never will. Peace, based on unconditional
surrender of hostilities by armed rebels, and
their return to their just allegiance' to the
Conititution and laws of the United States
13. Now contrast this wi- h the peace thetrine
of the Chicago Platform. Its second resolu
tion declares it to be the sense of the Conven-
tion, and of the American people, that we
have had fiur years of failure to restore the
Un(on by the experinient of war;" that is, we are
whipped. It then proceeds to allege that
these four years of failure by war have exhib
ited what may be called a succession 01 usur
pations and crimes, on the part of the Fed
eral Government, and a prolonged season of
suffering, oppression and (disgrace on the part
of the people. • Then it demands "that an im
mediate 4141 be made for the cessotion rf hostili
ties" Then it explains that what it had next
in view is, "an nlermate convention of all the
Slates"--including, of course, the rebel States ;
area to be held during' the "cessation of hos
tilities." If this cannot be had—and it is
pretty hard to get--then these patriots want
some "alien peaceable means" tried! No more
war, of course; and this public notification is
given to the rebels, that they may be made to
understand that they have the whole matter
in their own hands, and will get whatever
they demand. Then the end of all this atro
cious and shameless infamy, the sound of
which makes an honest and brave man tingle
all over, is avowed to be, "that at the earliest
moment, peace may be restored." The mean
est thing we reshember to have seen in print,
is the detestable hypocrisy which declares
that all these seditious purposes, and traitor
ous desires, are "on the basis of the Federal
Union of these States." Our want of space
renders it inconvenient, even if it were neces
sary, to show that the remaining portions of this
Platform are of the same spirit, and all tend
in the same direction, with the paragraph we
have now analyzed. There, then, is the peace
doctrine of the Disunion party in the loyal
States: the war a failure—the nation whipped
—an immediate cessation of hostilities—ulti
mate convention of all loyal and rebel States
--any other peaceable means—to the earliest
possible peace that can be got without any
more fighting! And this is what we are asked
to take in satisfaction of the blood of a million
of our brethren—of the utter and eternal dis
grace of being frightened into idiocy after we
had triumphed—of the partition and ruin of
the nation our immediate ancestors created—
of three or four thousand millions of public
debt—and of the everlasting destruction of
human liberty, by proving that free.govern
ments are worthless, and human nature too
base to be trusted with the care of itself !
Even beyond all this horrible weight Of shame
and ruin, there is a self-pollution still deeper,
if that be , possible; for we , are asked to put
this detestable Scheme into effect .ourselves,
by giving power to those who propose
