They are so intensely vexed when poor people stand up rudely and boldly for th? rights which they suppose in danger, that it is hard to make them willing these offenders should be allowed any rights at all. Politicians may talk of the simplicity of our national maxims, but those who have seen their practical bearings, --those who have lived really among the people, --not in the great cities, where society is, in many particulars, but a reflex of the condition of the old world, --these will bear witness that nothing can be more complex and puzzling than the aspect given to our social relations by the honest carrying out of these maxims.
