To value it aright, they ; must understand it. This, tluy can not do, without education. And, as a large portion I of the citizens are poor, and can never attain that inestimable blessing without the aid oi government, it is plainly the first duty of gov ; ernment to bestow it freely upon them. And : the more perfect lhe government, the greater ; the duty to make it well known. Selfish and I oppressive governments, indeed, as Christ ob serves, must 'nate tne iignt, and tear to come IO jt because their deei$ are evil.'

And after desolating their ci unity with ail the horrors of civil war, the guilty survivors will have to bend their nerks to the iron yoke of some .tern usurper, arid, like beasts of burden, to drag unpmed thr.se gall ,ne chains which thy have nvetted upon themselves for ever." This, as nearly as I can recollect.was the substance of the .w diat"izne I ever had wi'h Marion. It was spoken with an emphasis which I shall never forget. Indeed, he de scribed the glorious action at Bunker's Hill a though he rial been one of the combatants. H's agnation was great, bis voice became aliered and broken, and his face kindled over with that living fire with which it was wnnt to barn when he entered the baitles of his country. I arose from my teat as he spoke, and on recovering from Ihe magic of his tongue, found myself bending forward to the voice of my friend, and my right hand stretch, ed by my side, for the sw..rd lhat wis woni lo burn in ihe presence of Marion when battle arose and the crowding foe was darkening around us. But thanks to (iod ! 'twas sweet delusion all: no sword hung burning by my side ; no crowding foe darkened around ns. . .
