The Purpose of roe thyvertunont.
Governments, like then, differ.. ow mon
archial Europe cannot boast of having a gov
ernment with institutions an liberal and pi
free and uninfluenced bx the_ reigning pow
et:s, as tho United Stales. Old England,
1 oft.
, P I i
though governed by crowned heads, can
boast' to soma extent, of the liberal, policy
of her government, which
somewhat ap
proaches in similarity to that of the United
States. But, with ° Britain mentioned, all
that is free and liberal in Europe is told.'
Switzerland is often mentioned as the eosin-
try with the most liberal institutions in
Europe, but this is doubtful. The con
federacy is composed of a number of small
States, in some oliposition" to free
thought, as far as religion is concerned,
has been evinced. Oho of the main pillars,
implanted by 'our fingnctolis llnyfathers in
in the republican' form of government of the
United States, is toleration of all religious
creeds—and this praiseworthy doctrine they
have especially engrafted upini the tree of
Libertyby an - emphatic clause in the Consti
tution, which will admit of n) ambiguity.
This claikeis so plain and so clenily to the
point, that no one can lie a true " Son of the

Arnment? This is eagiry ascertained on be
coming familial with the history of the
evolution nhd tho CRUM'S which led the old
thirteen colonies to oppose the mother coun
try in the Etystein of opvession which she
was abodt to inaugurate• upon her subjects
in America. In every wan there exists a
desire to bo free and independent, for he
knows it will greatly conduce to his happi
ness if he c'au live so. The head of a faun•
ily, in order to move on smoothly and peace
ably with Om small group of hick he is
the patviarcltial governor, endeavors to place
all upon an 'equal footing. If a distinction
were made, if some were by him set above
the others and allowed privileges which to
others he would deny, the swig of drssatis•
faction would thereby he sown, and the
house become divided against itetif, which
would inevitably leadlo its downf..ll. This,
then, would go to b how that yuality must
be established in a community or govern.
ment in Which it is desired to have peace
and prosperity reign. This plant of (qual
ity already sprouts in the most tender age--
and, at even a hasty glance, will establish
itself as an atom. 'fhis principle belongs
to free ervetifment, of which ft forms a ne
cessary and intcgi al part ; thin fore we find
that one of lie purposes of free government
is, to establish an equality among the sub
jects thereof.
The founders of our government, as al
ready stated, Isere not unmindful, of thii
great principle. It was by tin in inoculated,
to its fullest extent, in our free I ki r, iittlt ions,
as the mainsail of the ship which was to
carry the barque of Liberty safely over the
sea of despotism, "whose surging waters
like a mountain rise" to dash to ittoins all
that may tend to republi•anistn.
Equality is the sheet anchor of our gov
ernment. How rapidly have We risen in
power, wealth and population! Our rise
and progress are unexampled in the history
of nations. But, there certainly must ex
ist sonic cause which hail a tendency to
bring about this wonderful result in our
prsoperity as a nation. Scarce half a cen
tury ago we occupied Lupanarrow strip of
land along our Atlantic coast, and our pop
ulation then summed pp but Three millioort,--
now we have unlimited boundary, with
population of twenty.seren anthems I This
has not been produced by magic, astonish
ing as it may seem. Therefore sonic cause
fn list exist to bring it about— and what is that
rause ? Wat led Boger !Thermal), William
Penn, and other pilgrim fathers to seek a
home among the wilds of the Wester.' If em
ispherit What 'mimed the early colonists
to leave their homes, their kindred, the land
of their birth, and seek an abode among the
savages of North America, where never a
tree had been felled, or a plough uprooted
the earth 7 Three thousand miles of ocean
separated them from their friends, and
the scenes of -their childhood, and certainly
erwre than a mere trivial cause must have
existed to induce the pilgrims to forsake
their Fatherland with ao many and great dis
advantages laboring againstthern.
They left Cho laud of their birth en SC
count of religious intolerance. They Heil
from their native land because a systeuf of
equality had not been established by which
every one, might be free to worship Clod ac
cording to thd dictates of his own con
science. The pilgrims came hither to es
tablish a system of government by which
men ought to beTree and equal. And, thank
GA, their efforts were not in vain.

joctrinated as the very patt -of a free gov

California
In the &limner of 1815, I was trmelling
on business in the western [art of Tennes
see. That portion of the Stale which lies
between the Tennessee and the ,Missis
sippi was at that time a wild, dreary forest.
No roads, nothing but horse paths through
the woods, end the only mocks to guide the
traveller upon his journey were the blazec,
and notches upon the trees. I was delased
in true backwoods fashion, and I rode a fiery
mustang, with a mane and tail as white as
snow, a beautiful arched neck, and an eye
like an eagle. IlMwas it perfect beauty and
a fleet as the si tin/. Across lila hack I had
thrown a pair of saddle Lags, containing- an
(me side a dozen pounds of corn bread and a
pieCif of bow*, and to belanoe them there
was s pile of rocks in the shape of two thou
sand dollar, in gold, which I had collected
and was transporting tf l i a bank in Ketitti<ky
to dispoike for eastern exchange. Two haws
wooden stirrups hung dangling from my
saddle, and the holsters in front contained
two beauties, in the shape of enormous horse
pistols. Over these to keep them dry, was

the rich perfume of the forest flowers,
aching the squirrels playing about in the
tree tops, and listening to the amain which
nom the throats of the thousands of
bright winged songsters, with which the
woods abounded. I had 'not seen a solitary
human being since morning, and night was
rapidly approaching; indeed it had already
begun to grow dark, and I had made up my
mind I would have to camp out'' for the

good place, when I was startled by the

their looks, and uuseem by them, I drew, up
my pistols, and cocked them, replaced them
in the holsters, and casting my eyes ahead,
I saw one of the men make a' motion 'did

be whet I suspected, I would give them a

Many years since, two pupils of the Uni
versity of Warsaw were pasting through the
street in which stands the column of King
Sigismund, round whose pedastal may gen
erally be seen seated a number of women
selling fruit, cakes, and a varietyof eatables,
to the passers-by. The young men paused
to look at a figure whose oddity attnected
their attention. This was a man apparently
between fifty and sixty years of age ; his
coat, once black, was worn threadbare ; his
broad hat overshadowed a thin wrinkled face;
his form was greatly emaciated, yet he

pocket, and pursued his way towards the
