of all, to the interest of that one. But had it been several
times worse than it is France would still have beheld and felt
in it a matchless benefit. The Citizens of the Anglo American United
States have thrown off the yoke of a Monarchy, have thrown off
the yoke of an Aristocracy, have many of them thrown off the yoke
of an established priesthood. But the yoke of the hireling advocate
still presses upon their necks: their courage has been sufficient
to free them from the yoke of the English Monarch: but their wisdom
