the Pawnee Indians: - Nearly the whole of one
tribe (the Paisnee Republic,) of about 3,.500 souls

being so great, that they had not time to bury
them! Scarcely an instance of recovery is known

WIRT ON SUNDAY SCHOOLS.
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.

DEAR Sia.-4 regret that it is not in my

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

Gospel, and advancing the Kingdom of the
Redeemer. In relation to the world at

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. Private vice al

Princtples and manners descend naturally
