"A contui-y from the birth of Washington has changed the world," said Daniel Webster in his address on Washington's birthday, February 22,' 1:!2. . ' Events have moved so swiftly that it is hard for us today to ' realize that it is less than two centuries since "Despotic power ' wus predominant, and the feudal or military principle held the mass of mankind in hopeless bondage. One-half of Europe was crushed beneath the Bourbon sceptre, and no conception of polit ical liberty, no hope even of religious toleration, existed in that nation which was America's first ully." The Republic in the N.ew World was regarded, one century ago, as still an experi ment watchttd with interest by curious and sceptical eyes abroad. The principles of Washington are those on wnicn ino namm was built, and their soundness has been proved uy men to me, us noble and beautiful as the romances.''

' "In the first place, all his measures were right in their in tent. He stated the whole basis of his own grand character when he told the country, in the home phrase of the proverb, that honesty is the best policy. One of the most striking tilings ever suid of him is that he changed mankind's ideas of political greatness. To commanding talents and to success, the common elements of such greatness, he added a disregard of self, a spot lessncss of motive, a steady submission to every public and pri vate duty, which threw far into the shade the whole country. He had no favorites; he rejected all partisanship; and acting honestly for the universal good, lie deserved, what he has so richly enjoyed, the universal love. . ,. . . ,. "His principle it was to act right, and to trust the people foi support; his principle it wns not to follow the lead of sinister and selfish ends, nor to rely on the arts of party delusion to obtain public sanction for such a course. Horn for his country and for the world, he did not give up to pai'ty what was meant for man kind. He sought for men fit for offices; not for offices which THAT SUGAR FAMINi;.
