When we' look upon the disasters. that .

stand'ready. to
.eiclaim, that, for, the security
of the interests' of sOciety;'.our Government
is .as completely experiment now as' it

In . . Europe, it. had .:heen . shown, by. .:very

But the idea of•a . people .divicling itself into

of -the . Citizen, while its exercise 'wax, •left
.to ' delegated -'representatives -immediately:
