It embodies the principles of freedom of thought, freedom of apeeeh, and writii.g. It defends the rights of the people against the tyraut« and aelf appointed rulere whom the world hae learned to despise. It teaches man that all men are equal, and that the will of the people is par imount. It is the emhlem of *elf government, nnd of the power of the people, and it thoroughly ilIu»trates the fallaciousness and impos8ibility of all attempta of the elaaeee to rule the maeeea, The Provision&l Government •hou!d interfere. they should certainly cry a halt aud prevent the reading of the declaration of indopendence, They should atop Lueien Young from making the great oration of the day, because ho ean eay nolhinp pleaaanl to them. They should is»ue a peremptory order forbidding the barbecue and the boat races, and the turkey and cranberry »auce whieh Cunningham will serve together with Wielunā Lager at tho Anchor. They »hould »uppresB every expr«»sion whieh may be conatrued aa approving of independence. and that great lawyer, w. 0. Smith, »hould be further burdened by care by being forced to hir« Oamaliel Hartwell to pro»ecute all the men who dare to glory in the memories whieh are called forth by the Fourth of July.
