,1 know the disgust of a refined mirid to the con
trast it is exposed thin the outward life of one,
times. I kriow the sliacouragements of a
thoughtful niSta as he contemplates the nieri
dency of the bad, and the departure of the ne
tion from truth and virtue ; and the strong ten
dency to retire to the companionship of. books
while the age works out its own experiments.
The world of the scholar is filled with no,con
flicts, marred by no passion, disturbed 14- no
violence. The breath of calrimny does not
reach him there, and falsehood and wrong
have no' entrance. The voice of etnbition
sounds faint and distant, and he shrinks, from
going forth from his tranquil enjoyments to
battle with selfish, reckless and ignorant men.
But the age is Oiling on him in tones that
must be heeded. if this world 'is to be cut
from its ancient moorings and drift off on an
unknown sea, there can be no question brought
before you fraught with deeper interest, or de
naanding more imperiously your serious tho't.
It its my belief that the Christian scholar must,
under Heaven, save the world or it is lost ;
that his power must be more practical than
heretofore,• and all the force he can wield used
not in opposing but directing the -spirit that iii
abroad carrying teverything before it. With
virtue and intelligence to guide it, this encroach
ing revolutionary movement may work the
'world's regeneration ; without it, it will finish
in a circle, 'and men at last wiU flee to despot
, ism to escape anarchy.
But there is an aspect to this question the
contemplation of which' thrills the heirt. Man
has never yet exerted his power. Controlled
and checked.at every step. he beasts,' through
the ages, and we have not yet seen what he
CAN do. Here is a country where every man
is not only allowed to exert what force is in
him, but it is called fur. Evety man standing
up in his full manhood is asked to expend him
self-,-strike with his strongest, heaviest blow.
And behold . the effect Scarce seventy years
have past, and tie feeble _colony has became
the second commercial nation on the globe, and
',yielding to none in resources and strength.—
l'Our statistics are at this day.a fable and a false
hood to nine-tenths of the inhabitants of Eu.
rope. What, a nation springing up and seat
ing itself in the front rank of powers in less
time that it has taken to build many of their
churcheti ! The thing is preposterous. To
me there is no more subliaie or terrific sight
than this country to-day presents, as every man
iis giving forth his entire energy. Before the
process of this principle we have been dis
cussinz. the whole *maid is 'soon to be in the
same position. And when the race is let loose
on the dwelling it inhabits, and every man
gives himself soul and body to the work. this
planet of ours will be in his, grasp like clay in
the hands of the, potter. Wihen, instead of a
' few minds clustered around w throne directing
the affairs of the world, its stiymos mind shall
be devoted to them, there "rill be charges it
would be deemed presumptuous now to predict.
I.et this hitherto unknown, unfelt energy be
under the control of truth and, virtue. and
nation will be Worn in a day."-1 At all events.
'if my position be correct. ma n is to be let
loose on himself and on his destiny and
the whole structure of human society is to
; change.
•
'ln conclusion I would say that my fears of
the issue are stronger than my hopes—that I
have but little faith in the wildom of the mas
ses, and•still less in their iirtue, I dare not
trust my race, or rather I dare not trust ignor
ant men in the hands of reckless demagogues,
and under the sway of political factions. It is
not with cheering confidence I trace the pro
' gress -of the principle I have been.discussing;
but still the fact is there, and must be looked
in the face. The whirlpool will come, and in

They were a Iletless quiet race of beings, who

About the year eighteen hundred and eigh

ty of Kodise Indians, for the purpose of bunt
ing the sea otter, which, at that period, aboun
ded in those waters. This party remained
on the island for more than two years ; and
were the means of sowing the seeds of disease
and contention amongst its unsuspecting and
unsophisticated inhabitants.

IMPORTANT PRUICIPLNS or Taaua.—" Ma
ny of the Northern Journals appear to think
that the scarcity of food in Europe, and the
consequent acquisition to ouratock of the pre.
close metals in payment thereof. is:a perma
nent national gain. This is not such a view
of national benefit as is founded on the recipL
rocities of commerce. It is at most a tempo
rary advantage. Mutual profit is the only
true bests of commercial intercourse. This is
particularly applicable to two countries like the
United States and Great Britain. The close
ness of their mercantile reletioes render* inju
ry to the one the cause cr , occasion of reaction
on the other. This is more felt should such
injury have its source in a scarcity of food.—
Subsistence, as it is the first want of Nature.
so is it the foendatiiin of all prosperous com
merce. Full granaries are the most healthy
stimulants to trade, as large expenditures for
food derange its regular course. choking some
of its channels and starving others.
•• Thus• the flow of coin to this country fur
nishes more than can be profitably employed.
What is pined by-us in the increased prides
of our breadatuffs. is lost in the large Neelinin
laden of an unproductive stook of specie ;
whilst our best customer-is straightened is his
means of purchasing some. other products of
our industry; his mammas being so largely
absorbed in expenditures of articles of subsis
tence.
.4 If reaction does not this year reach those
productive classes is the United Mates who
.now obtain large gains from this cause. utmost
affect them before their account of profit and
loss is finally dosed. It were better that the
European demand for the products eat our soil
were so gradual and moderate us to yield ordi
nary gains. It were more conducive to con
tinued intercourse that the eschews of the
customary equivalent should missal* enter
prise in both parties etytech intereosess. than
that all the reeiproeinike of commerce should
be extinguished in the gain of the one party
and the loss of the other."—CAerksion
