LIBERTY AND EQUALITY.

The Key. Mr Sheriff, of KirKoaHy, io a discourse said :— My friends I had a call from some of you the other day, wanting to know my opinion about liberty an^ equality, when I told yon if yoo -would come here to-day I would let you know it. Now, since that time, I have travelled in the spirit] all bve¥ the world, and I shall jnst tall you what I have eeen in my travels. I h^va travelled over the carth — its frozen acd burning zones, mountains and va ley, moisPpltftfr and dry, fertile lands acd deserts—^and I have four a grown up men and children, big aid little, strong and weak, wise and ignorant, good <md bad, powerfal an -3 helpless, rich and poor — no equality there. I have travelled, through the sea— its deeps and shoals, rocks and gandbacka, whirlpools and eddies— tnd have found l monsters and worms, whales and herrings, sharks and Bhrimps, mackerels arid spratß, tne strong devouring the weak, and the big swallowing tbe little— no equality there. I have ascend* d to heaven, with its greater and lesser ligh's, its planets and comets, suns and satellites, and I have found thrones and dominions, principalities and powers, angels and archangels, cherubim and seraphim— no, f quality there. I have dewfnded to hell, and there I have foond'Bee'zebub, the prince of the deyifo, 'and 'bis grim, counsellors, llolotfh and Bella l , tyrijnnieing over the oth r devils, a^d all of them over wicked men's soulf — no equality there. This is what^li'have ifpond s in my travels, and I think I bave travelled far enough ; but if any cf you are n'bt satisfied .with what I have told you, and wwh to po in search of liberty and equality youraelves, you may find them if you travel fome where fhatr-il^'ha^e-not visited.,,. You ne^'^pt travel the same rc^^^^lM^^Mito} I can telljjrqi^bsfivg^^^ theint on, eaf tK neither in the eea ; not inrheftvec in, hell.
