1627 - L. Jan. 1; ed: 2/1 - Democratic politicians and New York newspapers
support the establishment of an independent nation in the South.
We quote from John Stuart Mill's article in FRASER'S magazine for
December, 1859, in order to refute them. Mill said: "The sacred duties
which civilized nations owe to the independence and nationality of each
other are not binding toward those to whom nationality is a certain evil
or a questionable good." . . . -
(LEADER) "A nationality has no right to build a government upon a
'corner stone' of slavery. Subjugation of the South by our armies is
justified." (7)

1630 - L. May 31; ed: 1/1, 2 - Mill, in his argument on representative
government, says the three essential conditions in any people in order
to have such a government are: First, people must be willing to accept
this form of government; second, the people so choosing sha il be ready
to defend their choice by personal exposure to danger if need be; and
last but not least the people must exercise the power of self restraint.
This must be possessed in order to exercise the privilege of general
suffrage.
"I hese qualities, so deeply inwrought into our people, have been the
fruit of our liberal institutions, of our education, and our Christianity."
