IIow doos that sound för a oiviliznrl naüon, and a republie, to ? Ajnericans havo a great deal to siy nbout liborty, freedom, etc., and especially is this truo of the Rarlioal joumftU thronghout the length and breadth of be land. But how ridiculous it looks in tfie face of such faots. Tlie libcrti.s of the poople are safur tolay in England, Gormany, France, or even despotie Hussia, than in the Republic of the United States. Tho power delcgated to the President of the United States by the act nf Congress is as great as any king rouUl wish, and it will bc uscd by the present iucumbont of that office without Rcruple or principie, and civil rights, or even life itself, will be little regarded when standing in his path. We are in name a republic, but aro reftUy a military dospotism, subject to the whims and desires of a dictator. How long will the people bc in getting theireyes open ?
