It beams in the brightest pages of profane history. The names of Pharaoh and Moses, of Tarquin and Junius Brutus, of Geisler and Tell, of Christiern and Gustavus Vasa, of Philip of Austria and William of Orange, stand in long array through the visto of Time, like the Spirit of Evil and the Spirit of Good, in embat- tled opposition to each other, from the mouldering ages of antiquity, to the recent memory of our fathers, and from the burning plains of Palestine, to the polar frost of Scandinavia.... For the Independence of North America, there were ample and sufficent causes in the laws of moral and physical nature. The tie of colonial subjec- tion, is compatible with the essential purposes of civil government, only when the condition of the subordinate state is from its weakness incompetent to its own pro- tection. Is the greatest moral purpose of civil govern- ment the administration of justice ? And if justice has been^truly detiued the constant and perpetual will of secu- ring to every one his right, how absurd and impracticable is that form of polity, in which the dispenser of justice is in one quarter of the globe, and he to whom justice is to be dispensed is in another ; where " moons revolve and oceans roll between the order and its execution ;" where time and space must be annihilated to secure to 13 every one his right.
