Simulta- neously with the progress of their settlements, more liberal ideas of government were extending through- out the parent country. Sidney, Hampden, Harring- ton, Milton and Locke liad boldly taken the field in their support, and become the admired expounders and advocates of constitutional law, in America, as well as in England. Bacon had confidently appealed to reason and common sense, to subvert the despot- ism of ignorance in the realms of philosophy; and they fearlessly submitted que...stions of political sci- ence to the same august tribunals. It was to the majesty of the mind, that they paid allegiance, and unfolded their enlarged and enlightened views of government. An impetus was given to thought, which electrified the nation. The people were made to understand the nature and value of their civil priv- ileges. Refl(3ction and inquiry preceded acquiescence and submission, and the power of intellect became more respected than the monarch's sceptre. Preju- dices yielded to argument, — customs ceased to com- mand respect from their mere antiquity, and existing regulations were appreciated but in proportion to their intrinsic merits.
