These very important questions are still wader cabinet ; but what course the Pre- few seem to know. In the mean- time, the ultra cliques in Congress are getting more savage every day.

When a small number of persons are associated together, constituting a village or hamlet, the fact that every inhabitant is known, that his pursuits and oceupa- tions are watched and commented upon, is in itzelf a sufficient safeguard in most jostances against the commission of any serious offence upon society ; but where large masees are drawn together, there is an inherent tendency in the present state of our na- ture for the evil disposed to infringe upon. the rights of the common whole.
