the progress of the principle arc taken from in Review a ly periodical devoted to the interests of the Baptist denomination of Christians and by Sears of the Newton Theological To be convinced of the fact that the democratic principle is making steady gress in the world we need only cast our eyes over Christendom We know of nothing which is receiving fuller tion by the events which arc brought to light every year One can hardly open a newspaper without gathering fresh dence tnat the people arc rising up as a great don They are beginning to un- as never before that every man can best take cure of own interests and his own And understanding it show u growing boldness and dis- position to enforce its practice There is plainly a new and widening and current of free thought the before which oppression and sorts of abuses of power fall as if by a supernatural arm There is a wide spread conviction fastened upon the people that all are ly equal the rights of one are just as important as those of another that the of one is as dear as that of another liberty of one as precious and the con- science of one as sacred and inviolate as another this creed aro rapidly multiplying in every section of tho Tho people aro ery where the undeniable truth that all political and rightfully emanates from they consider as the only source whence those can flow in op- position lo ihc their ing from one as in absolute their flowing from the few as in nn aristocracy And in country where the ler principles in vouge or constitutes the basis of Government there the principle is arraying itself in stern conflict with them Led on as i seems to us by a divine hand the people are con- tending for and establishing one after an- other doctrines favorable to universal berty and designed to place

his own opinions on polities mature his own belief in pursue his own business make choice of his own pleasures in one word be the sole independent arbiter of his own conduct The people are dily asserting their claim to govern selves And thus if any tax is needed they insist upon the right of saying how much that tax shall be If any law is to Le passed they declare that their influence shall be ft directly in passing it If nny groundless change be made in the leading principles of those who administer the lairs of state they assert their privilege to speak in loud terms through the ballot box thus designate others succeed the of- fenders against the public will Success indeed has not always crowned those forts Oppression still exists abuses are yet numerous Much yet remains to be done But generally the people are ming fully their prerogatives and to stand to them manfully What wfi have now stated as generally the progress which the cratic principle is in the world must agree we
