It is a gratification to every enlightened patriot and christian to find such men as WILLIAM WIRT, ()Only advocating those great moral, religious and political movements in our country, the ob. ject_ancrtendency_. of which are.twenlighten-and instruct the pele strengthen and to per petuate our Rep p ~ Ub Imars Institutions. Our readers will recollect that a public meeting It as held within the past year, in favor of estab lishing Sunday Schools, in the West, at which Messrs. 'Webster, Frelingliaysen, Grundy, and Many other distinguished members of Congress and citizens appeared, and by their eloquence and influence in favor of these public spirited and he. nevolat objects, have done probably a greater and more lasting benefit to their country, than they ever effected in the halls ollegislition, great and successful' as their efforts in the latter may haie been. By their names and efforts the tide of public opinion has been turned in favor of Sunday Schools, and a groundless opposition chocked and silenced. Among these warthielflWCWlßT was not able to appear, but lest his absence should be constru ed into indifference, he forwarded the following letter, together with fifty dollars in cash to aid in carrying on these really charitable, operations. Such men have been too'rare among our rulers, but such a man as WIRT every patriot may fool proud to support. WASHINGTON, Feb. 16, 1831. DEAR Sia.-4 regret that it is not in my power to be with you . this evening, that I efforts with those of Our fellow citizens Who will be pre sent, in advancing this great, and, as I be lieve it, Heaven directed cause. That. "Lib erty and Learning lean on each other for support," is a truth which has long been known to the wise, and of which we are all becoming convinced hy fearful experience. It has been the ignorance of the people which has so long enabled tyrants to - hold . the world in chains; and they have never failed to burst them asunder whenever light has broken in strongly upon tlituu_But.if they are per. mittod to - relapse kilo ignorance and its nat ural attendant, grovelling vice; tyrants will rise again, under the name of patriots, and we shall see the world re-plunged into Gothic darkness and' - despotism. It is not in the nature of things, that a popular-government can long subsist, except among an enlighten ed and virtuous people; nothing else can shield `them against the designs wished and intriguing politicians, who always come in the name and garb of patriotism, and, call ing themselves friends Of the cheat 'lawn 1 1 to enlighten the people, deserves the zealous support--of-eve!, geiguitiv friend of liberty; and I hail, with unaffected joy, the ardour with which this great and philanthrolife. plan has been every where received. Viewed in a temporal and political light, merely, it de serves the strongest support from all _who wish the continuance of our free and happy institutions at home; and when we see the effect that our example is producing on the world, the motive for our exertions rises to a far loftier and nobler sentiment. It is the cause, not of the United States only, but of the whole earth. It is the cause of man throughout the world; and who is there so poor and sordid of spirit, as to think only of himself; when the great question is, whether this earth shall be inhabited by enlightened And virtuous free men, erect and, firm on the basis of independence, or by hordes of igno -ranti-grovelltourncl-inwstrate--—Cf ing their chains and licking the dust-liom the feet of their-oppressors? _ _But_in connexion-with these greet-tempo _rak benefits.,-y.sor-isoeiety-Ites-tr-still-h ig i and holier aim—spreading the light of the Gospel, and advancing the Kingdom of the Redeemer. In relation to the world at large, I believe that public virtue has no so lid basis but inßeligion._ Lineal:l_)y public virtue, that which impels a, man, in all his public acts, to look solely to the of his country, without any view to public aggran dizement. I believe that the Fathers of our Revolution Vere, for the most part, such men. A great crisis called them out, and the corn mon danger, as well, as the common hope supplied a great motive of action—which heldthem together, and directed their efforts to the liberation of their country. But that ' crisis once passed, and the object achieved the natural passions of man came into pitty, and then came personal ambition, with alfits disastrous retinue of faction, intrigue, injus tice,-barbarity, slander, contention and strife, pntil our whole country presentee scene from which every holm* , and peaceable man re-' coils, without a ray Of hope, except fromthii power Of the Almighty.
