All that we can say of bis life during these years of solitude is that it was such as might have been the envy of the angels. His Ideas of government, were preemi-ne- n tly republican ; and yet he greatly deprecated the evils of republican insti tutions.

Certainly this is an ideal that is most desirable, but too Utopian for actual realization. Man wants no equality , unless it betters his condition. They will cry equality who have nothing to lose, everything to gain.' Observation teaches us that there Is: orilyl one jsociety and one country where is absolute equality that society is the dead,, that country the grave.
