CALtrORstA. = a ~% ” THURSDAY, DEC. 3, 1868, coe MEN AND Measures.— When great questions are at stake,men are as moate, and rise or fall as they oppose the willand wishes of the people. This is is the law of the land. Under other forms of government .where power is concentrated in few hands, and the people are held in check by fear of punishment, reforms make slow progress, and-are frequently held in check until the acvcuthulated power breaks forth in revolution. History repeats itself and in monarchic¢al foruis of governnient in different countries the progressive steps are marked by revolutions, The rulers of Europe are learning wisdom by experience, and many of themare pursuing the wise policy of conceding what the pesple demand, when to resist would endanger their thrones: Under,our form of government pro“gréssioff is the ralé,and he who opposes falls to make: ‘room: for one. who more The war through which the country has passed, awakened a study of the character and purposes of the government on thé part of the pedplée.

THE CHARA THE V; ‘Mh. Haitor —&K, a tde Wy . transitive verb. Ifshe was not opposed nee epee pean ‘= Well fp ‘her Attempt prove hopea to Webster and other standard authorities 1 might be convinced; Webster, in_his unabridged dictionary. says.:— “Hope as a transitive verb is seldom ised, and the phrases in which it is usel are eliptical for being understood.” He gives an illustration’ from Dryden: “And hopes the hunted bear.” . So in eliptical sentences only is hupe a’ transitive verb, and then only by poetic licenge.; But in ‘we hope .to find the study,” there is no élipsis, and the verb is not transitive. K. E. would not say, “we hope for to find.”K.E. disposes of all my proofs by denying the authority of one of my principal authors. She says Brown does not appfove of him. She takes Green for authority. Brown doves not approve of him, and says, “Green is singularly absurd.” K. E’s passive voice is aptly illustrated by the -phrase, “the bube sleeps,” rendered “the babe is slept.” In my last communication I affirmed that the infinitive was an adverbial ele mént, and if this can. be proved, the. will now state my proofs: Gould Brown’s [ authority says: “If we admit that sentences, parts of sentences, infinitives, participles with their adjuncts, and oth. er phrases, as well as nouns and ‘pronouns, may. be in’ the objective case, it will be no easy matter either to define this case, or to determine what words do or do not govern it.” Weld gives the following rule: “A verb in the infinitive mode is generally used to-limit the meaning of verb,noun, or adjective ;as,“I hope to succeed” — the very verb in controversy. Green says, “a verb in the infinitive may limit another verb.” Quackenbos says, “any word that modifies a verb, adjective or adverd is an adverb, though it may usually appear as some other part of speech,”— This is the text bouk prescribed by the Stete Board of Education. Again—a verb in the infinitive may also be used to limit the meaning of some other word or a verb. ‘‘l wish to go,” and ‘I hope to find,” are naturally the same.” One is limited by “to go,” and the other “to find.” Brown’s Grammar of Grammars,page 496, obs. 11, says: “The notion that one verb governs another in the infinitive just as a transitive verb a noun,and so cannot be also governed by the objective case, is not only contradictory to my scheme of parsing the infinitive mood, but is also false in itself and repugnant to the principles of gencral grammar.” Again he says on page 517, obs. 3 :— “Every active transitive verb or participle has some noun-or pronoun for its object, or some prononial adjective which assumes the relation of the objective case> Though verbs are often followed by the infinitive mood, or an independent clause, forming a part of the logical predicate ; yet these terms, being commonly introduced by a connecting particle,doq not form such an object as is contemplated in our definition of a transitive verb, is the only proper criticism of this sort of verb. If, in the sentence, “boys love to play,” the . former verb is transitive, as several “rammarians affirm, why not also in a thousind others, as ‘boys like to play ;’ ‘boys delight to play ;? ‘boys long to play” “the boys seem to play; the boys cease to play?” It would seem to me that these dif. ferent antborities, all taken as standard, are sufficient to establish the adverbial character of “to find.’ This being true, the whole basis of the argument apon which the other side rests is gone, and the verb hope must be admitted intransitive.
