It might naturally b3 supposed, from such
untoward circumstances, that these politicians
would cease their war upon the party of the
people, when their formerly avowed princi

ter keeping the country in a commotion for
so many years, by contending for measures
and views which they now tacitly admit to
be either false or hopeless; it wouM seem that
dissolution was the only thing left for them.
But the natural enemies of republicanism and
equality can never be idle. The interested
and ambitious demagogue will never quit his
trade. They cna at least get local offices by
Urring np strife among the people, and this
they seem ready to do, aa passing events

Thcv teach man's equality with hi fellow
