ual freedom was secured to
each part, within a certain limit, wide enough for all its wants, and
yet perfectly subordinated to the freedom and order of all the parts
collectively, revolving or acting freely around the common centre and
head. We saw that in the Divine creations--in all the objects of the
three kingdoms of nature, the two great principles of liberty and order
were thus perfectly reconciled and harmonized (true _order_ being only
the _form_ under which true _liberty_ appears, or can appear); and,
further, that in proportion as human affairs and institutions obey the
same law, or, rather, in proportion as men individually and collectively
advance in virtue and intelligence, do they unconsciously, and more or
less spontaneously, come into this Divine order, both in the regulation
of personal motive and conduct, and in outward political and social
matters.

Hence, as has already been stated, the near approach to this method in
the political organization of the United States was the result of an
amount of moral and intellectual culture, first in the colonies, and
afterward in the contrivers and adopters of our political framework,
without which it could never have been formed; and in the degree that
this mental condition is maintained and advanced yet more and more, will
the citizens of the Union apply the same method of organization to the
less general affairs of industrial and social life. Now, all this is not
fancy; human progress in the direction indicated, can be scientifically
demonstrated.

WAR SONG:--EARTH'S LAST BATTLE.

Dedicated To

THE SOLDIERS OF THE UNION.

Up with the Flag of Hope!
Let the winds waft her
On through the depths of space
Faster and faster!
Up, brave and sturdy men!
Down with the craven!
He who but falters now,
Fling to the raven!

CHORUS: On while the blood is hot--on to the battle!
Flash blade and trumpet sound! let the shot rattle!

Come from your homes of love
Wilder and faster!
Hail balls and sabres flash!
Wrong shall not master!
Strike to the throbbing heart
Brother or stranger!
Traitors would murder hope!
Freedom's in danger!

CHORUS: On for the rights of man--just is the battle!
Flesh deep the naked blade! let the shot rattle!

Men of the rugged North,
Dastards they deem you!
Wash out the lie in blood,
As it beseems you!
Glare in the Southern eye
Freedom,
