The happiness ,

      prosperity , and contentment ot a nation depend almost entirely npon the liberty which its people possess . , Thia maybe Jolly aiustratedby our own country . ' .

It has ' been of ten ssud that there i » more liberty enjoyed in ' Britain than in any other nation . in the -world . This t » a oertain / Bxtent-l a 4 ? at . iThere iaa liberty against which I as an individnali an 4 a great

In fact , time would . fall me-were I to enter piiticnlaily into all the ^ iberlty which . the . aristocracy enjoyj . but all the liberty * which & great portion , of Ihe people possess , mayffc& sta t ed in a Tety . few "ffords : they have the libferty of obeying laws which they had no voice in making , and thB hoponi of paying for alL Thisla British liberty ; and the present state . ^ the-. couiitry affords a practical proof of ths injustice of kuch aiisnidayetem .

For , in inj 3 plnipn , true liberty can . only exlsj when equal jnstice is . administered to all 1 to tbe . grieen and to the beggur , to the rich ' and to the poor . liberty is not a mere s&uhd—a jane shadow . No l it is a cause which tends to confer happiness on an mankind . It is a cause for which a Wallace , a Tell , a Washington , and thousands cf other , brave , and noble . patriots have fought and bled .

They

      appear , to think that a man without a ahlUiig's -worth of property in his possession , but-who has obtaiaedan honest livelihoed by his . own honest industry , to be intrusted with , political power would be exceedingly dangerous to Ihe rest pf the oommunity . But I would ask , why is'the -worki :. g nah excluded from the pale of the Constitution ? Why ishe robW of his natural righta and deprjved of his ' social privileges '; . converted into a ' mers . hewer ? of wood , a mere dratrer ef water- ^ -a mere toiling machine producing an enormous amount of wealth , which , after its production , he is obliged to handover toothers . to enjoy ? ~ Is there any natural difference between the rich m&D and the poor inaa ? Is there apy © jideoce to prove that nature has doomed the ^ working ! classes to be . the base and

      servile slavea of the middle and aristocratic classes ? If i there is , point it out , to that in future " , we may bow down with submission to those whom Qod has set np as our superiors . It , is said that ihe people'havo not intefiisence enough for the judimouiexerase of the franchise . Show me the difference betweec . tha proudest aristocrat and the meanest peasant . Show me-that nature has establMied a difference between thetwoi and aen I " will - acknowledge that the p&or hard-toiling peasant should ba the alaye of the other , and tbatie ; on -whose hr « 7 Tras stamped the ' seal of aristocracy , should ride rough-shod over the rights and , liberties of the oQien ; Take the « hfld of the rich man and tie child of ¦ Bib p-ior man , and yon will . find a complete similarity Por although money , title , and a glided canopy awaited t l »

Point ma to the material universe , or to one sougle proof that , mature ever inintended to give a preference to the rich ' over Ihe poor ; ' sod then I will admit the soundness of the proposition .

      But how stands the facts ? ' Does nature , withold its bountiful gifts , because the earth 3 a tilled by the poor man ? Does the sun refuse Its genial warmth , because the poor man tills the ground ?^ 3 > a the ' winds of hea-ren sweep with a terrific sound around the humble dwelling of . the poor , and yet breathe with * a gentle softness , andrSrith a Zephyr ' s Smile around tie dwellings of the rich ? No ! and until I am put in pos session of such 'evidence as Oils , 1 am determined to ding to the old-fashioned opinion , that Tin till see one man bom with a saddle upon his back , and another with spurs upon Ms heels , I will never believe that nature has doomed one man to be the slave -of the other , : or . that-the other should ride rough-shod over him . If all th « anti-Christiaii and unrnatmal distincticmB

      which flow disgrace oar land- were entirely abolished , . and that love , of our-species which would enable us to look npon every man as-our brother and to confer the . same right and privileges upon jjtbe » that we claimed tojouryelves , 'estabUafcedin then- stead , ' what a mighty change it would produce in sodety . Then would the wodciDg .. classes hav ^ aomethiBg , to hops tvi Then ¦ would ithey be elevated * to th 3 t position in society which &od and nature . intended they should s * capy . The sun . of liberty would then arise and shine forth in its jneridian splendour npon our beloved land , before whose bright and brilliant' raya every evil andpernieaous system which has . so long degraded and enslaved both the mind and body of man would die away like "know before the natural sun .
