The novility of man in® this country joes not depend ou wealth, birth or title.

Government, “For forms of government let fools cont ‘That which is best aominiaterea is beat.’ ‘Such was the opinion of a great poet; and it was Jeffer- son who said “that people are best governed who are go verned least.’’ So, too, is it our opinion bat all the hue sad cry about the iatricacies and mysteries of government aud diplomacy, are a Machiavelian sham, concocted axa kept up to secure the posts, honors and profs of govern- ment and diplomacy to a stereotyped, red tape class. This is acharacter which bes beeu given to government by the lawyers and politicians who have heretofore shaped and directed it. Honest government, in truth, is, accord. ing to repudlican or democratic priucipies, a very simple affair. It is but justly considering the wants aad iaterests, interval avd exterual, of a eople, in so far ag goveru ment should be concerned, and thea making aad aim: tering laws, in the simplest mauver possible, to answer those wants and intercets.

And so it bas been that empires have been saved, recovered and founded, vot by theoretical warriors or e*stesmea, bor by routipists, but by men, de- veloped by emergency—men of numble origin, so called, chiefly; the Cromwells, Napoleons, Tolls, Hotere, Bolivars, aud even Washingtoa, for be had no leatoer patent of novility, a0 diplomas from suiversities or goveramental bureaus.
