Such cicumitance furely may ferve 20 declare,
Its right TO the title of DEAR little hair.

that by taxing them without their conlenr, and where
they are not, and carnoy be epreentet, you deprive
them of the Rights of Enghmen, nay, in time, with
the lois of the contribution, gOu will deprive them of
Liberty and Property altogether.
This is very lntercang fubjee, the consequences in

that Cear acquired the empire by the fword, AuguHGs
by inheritance, Cagula BY the merits of his father, Ne
no by tyranny, Titus by having vanquiihed Judea but
that for his part, though of low extraction, he had OBJ
tanned it by patience.
Again, whatever Crohcs and misortunes with,
and however heavy their burthen, they cannot over
whelm US, Whit we are not abandoned by patience
the contrary, they become proportonably ghteued as
re(ouiey exeefe this virtue. AS every thing in
ture has its contra, 70 patience is the oppohte de-
fpair; wherefore the Chrfans confder it heaven
y grace and the philosophers of antiquity pronounced
it the Taft efforts of firm and generous foul 1t is very
nearly allied to courage, which cannot thine without
opponents; in the like manner this virtue disappears as
lI6ODas msforunes dcfet u.s. Patience is the mott ge-
nerens of all friends appearing in PROPERTY; but
whey our miferies attain pitch that threatens all our
rGe happiness, fbe fails to offer her afAance TO

In fine, if, as the Englifh poet fays,
The anly wretebfd are the sOi6,
they alone udciouly avail ,hemleves of the proper
antidote-Paten is their birthrigh, an inheritance
pecuded from fools, who are never the architects Of
their own good fortune, but frequently of their own
mlery. Paris, AHggf 9th, 1870.
