L In regard to this view of things Mr. Gerritt Smith (len. makes the following remark., that are quite apropos in re gard to the sentiment expressed above: We wear clothing to protect us from the and cover our nakedness We ire in houses to protect us from the outside elements. We build fences around ourI C dwellings to protect our families from oetside invadlers. We entrust our chil- BR dren to the care of older ones to protect a them from harmt during their minority. BR The birds of the air have wings with which to fly away and thereby protect CH themselves from the quadrupeds and animals. The bees protect themselves W with their sting. Animals some of them Bu¬ with their horns, others having strong teeth, with their bite. others are made Sur fleet on their limbs. Mo The ears of corn, in their incipient Cul growth, are protected with husks that wither and die as the kernel comes to Deg maturity, and becomes enameled or gla- Bar zed to protect the finer particles within from decay. The chestnut is protected Tin by a rough prickly pod or cover, which expands with its growth and bursts and - falls to the ground when no longer needed. The rose, growing low on the ground underfoot, protects itself with - its thorns. To follow out, every order of creation after its kind has individually its shield of protection. A Democrat responds: But we are all of us men and brethren,. descendants of Adam. Why should we draw the line against each other? Are they to have as to understand that they build houses for other families to live, to the neglect of their own? That they labor to feed and clothe other fam+ ilies to the neglect of their own? That in the acquisitton and disposition of their property they make no preference, but labor for others equally in common - with their own? Do the birds and fowls of the air make I I use of their wings equally to protect others of the same species? Or the bees their sting to protect other bees? Or animals their horns, teeth or limbs to protect their fellow animals from harm. Or tile husks of corn, chestnut pods, or thorns of the rose, are they not used each to protect its own? D Protection due from parents to their families is necessarily circumscribed or limited to their authority and juriedie tion; that is to say, their own families, O. and within their family circle. Protection due from communities to, their individual membere is likewise, tf - necessity, circumscribed or limited to their authority and jurisdiction; that is to sayj within the geographical limits accorded to them, the exereise of which, outside, would make them disturbers of the peace, but if undertaken outside. It would be peaceable and practical only through reciprocal action. What is true of heads of families and communities, made up of Individual fa milies, holds good as to a township, country, State or nation. Self-protection. or selfish protection, as Democrats characterize it, is the first law of our existence, and applies equal ly to the animal as well as the vegetable kingdom. The head of a family undoubtedly has the right to enforce free trade relations between the members thereof. The go vernment of a community within the community, of a State within a State, and a nation within its boubdaries; the I GOd of heaven only throughobht the uni verse governed by Him. If Democrats (like our friend T. L.) de sire to usher in the milieullinim at once, i let them practise individuallyV What they preach. SThe Great Southern Remedy.
