DIILV IMELLII.EMER. Wednesday, Sept. 4, 1878. The Voyage of Life Life's tiny bark is often launched Adown Time's mystic tide, Where 'neath bright ikies, through flowery mead* The waters ealuily glide. The little boat that haply paii- From such a .smiling strand, lielike hath fur its pilotage At first a parent's hand. But soon that guiding hand's with drawn, And rocks and shoals beset The bark, and its young helmsman With total shipwreck threat. Then weli for him if cn his chart Inscribed i* Duty's way. And he that channel •mfe prefer To thosu that lead astray. For choosing this he shall escape The breakers that o'er*helm Those manners, who by false charts Selected to guide Life's helm. And when the stormy Toy age is o'er, Its many dangers past, And anchorage he shall surely find In Heavens port at last. BAHIS OF oun POLITICAL SYBTEM The basis of cur political system U the right of the people to umku aud alter their constitutions of government ; but j the constitution which nt any time ex ist*, till changed l»y an explicit and authentic act of the whole jieople, is HHC redly obligatory upon all. The very idei of tin- power and the right of the jjeople to establish government presuppose# the duty <>| every individ ual to obey the established govern, inent. All obstructions to the execut ion of the laws—all combinations aud associations, under whatever plausible character, with the real design to direct, control, counteract, or awe, the regular deliberations and action of the constituted authorities—are destructire c f this fundamental principle, aud of fatal tendency. They serve to organ ize faction, to give it au artificial and extraordinary force, to put in t!ic place of the delegated will of the nation aud will of the party, often a small but artful and enterprising minority of the community ; and, according to the al ternate triumph of different parties, to make the public administration the mirror of the ill-content and ineogru- OUM projects of faction, ratio r than the organ of consistent and wholesome plann, digested by common councils and modified by mutual interests.
