—is human progress. This is accomplished by Democracy, which con- tinually claims a greater freedom, a more permanent industrj^, a wider range for commerce. It is the spirit of the people, asserting their wants, their interests, their rights and their privileges. That the fluctuations of party must be continual and various, will appear when we consider the relative condition of these sources of power, to which allusion has already been made. Under a monarchical government there are usually thre...e parties of interest : the king and nobility, and all those who are satisfied to be their mere dependents ; the rich, who control the available wealth of the countr}' ; and the people, of all professions, who have a com- mendable ambition to acquire the comforts of life, and to enjoy equal oppor- tunities for advancement.
