A Grand Sentiment.

Governor Dix of New York uttered a grand sentiment in his inaugural address: "The end of all government should be the preservation of true liberty—that liberty which guarantees to every man the fullest measure of individual right consistent with a proper maintenance of the rights of all others, and at the same time preserves and maintains the collective rights of all the members of the State. Under the constitution such liberty we possess in New York." But under New York laws it is not so. There is not true liberty for every man or any man as long as New York has on its statute-books a Sunday law potent with tyranny.
