1.-THE mere process OF fear, or another sensation not
so credtable, into flaming swords, with which the
good peoples rights are to be hewn down.


These outlines of their creed can be justified by
the text. We hesitated long before. expressing
our candid opinion. We know how sensitive
are young beginners, especially young Review
Editors; and we forbore, until forbearance be-
came crime.


In the whole work we can find no political vir-
tue; its design is confusion.-its end destruction.


The Editors are not Republicans are
ncw-light Democrats: Democracy growing out oi
exaggerated conceptions of liberty.
True Democracy is the calm, steadfast control
of the people over the maddened libertinism OF
their own gigantic passions. 1t is the phioso-
phic head governing the sensual heart. 1t is
Socrates swallowing the poison that he might flee
into that glorious presence--that one Divinity
of which he had dreamed, even amid Athens,
beautiful yet idolatrous. 1t is the spectacle of a
people free and powerful, taking to its lips the
chaice divide and far-regulating laws. 1t is the
principle of consistency, love for the establish

glorious and equalizing light. There is nothing
erratc in its character; STOPPING to this crime,
|or disdaining that good from knavish thrift; but
onward, over the mountains of mans hopes and
preudces, it takes its bold and consecrated flight


into the very regions of divine law; and face to
face with the humble Saviour of mankind, claims
him as the author of its doctrines. And those
doctrines were, that law should restrain all alike;
and in the restraint upon the extremes Of both
rich and poor, he recognized the equality of le-
gislation, and on it established his profound and
sublime practice.

we have no room in this number for farther dis
cusson.
