[The Rev. William McClure, pastor of the
Birgit Presbyterian church, of Londonderry, Ire
land, who lately visited the United States, on the
evening previous to his departure from America
to his home, composed the following poem, expres
sive of bis views and feelings with regard to this
countm]
From Erin's beauteous Isle I came,
To, visit Western climes;
To mark the customs of "the age, "
The people and the times.
And do you ask Ivhat I have seen,
When roaming far abroad; -
What Worthy to be told at home,
Of all the paths I trod 7
I answer—Bright and fair - the land,
From despotism free;
And blessings richer yet await
This land of liberty.
The hearts of parents till with joy
And swell with minions pride,
To see their children walk in truth
With wisdom:for their guide.
So may the ,parettt Janda rejoice
That gave these children birth;
Who spread throughout the Western world,
And cover all the earth.
Their eons are generous and brave--
'Their daughters full of grace;
Fit objects , of esteem and love—
A truly noble race.
The forests bend before the axe,
And yield their ancient reign ;
Row fields are opening to the plough,
New cities deck the plain:
Tb e hum of commerce Meets 'the ear,
From morn till setting sun;
The busy tribes both far and near,
The race for riches run.
Fair soisneitlifts her 'tar& on high,
Its brightness to increase;
And wisdom points to yeti* the way
Of pleasantness and peace.
Crowds hasten to the house of prayer,
And praise their lips employ;
While heralds of 'the Cross proclaim
Glad tidings of great joy. .
Where'er the sysinger turns his steps,
The doors are open wide;
And - still the hospiiable board
For ail his *aids provide.
And warm affection's saoredzlow
Burns bright within the heart,
And overflowing kindness seeks
That pleasure to impo.rt.
May peace and plenty ever bless
Columbia's favored land ;
Exalted bigh by righteousness,
May it conspicuous stand.
Led by the social light that'beams
From inspiration's page;
Firm let the Word of God be held,
Though impious zealots rage. •
..Thos may this mighty people be
An instMnient for good;
Thai may the Gospel be preserved
From ; superstitloa's.flood.
To new and ever widening fields,
The teeming millions fly;
And guide most sure for weal or Woe,
"'This world's great destiny,
Oh t , beaten then the glorious time,
When Christ shall reign atone,
And all the riations of , the earth,
Be blended into one.
And now'the gallant vessel waits—
The crested billows swell—
Soft gales will waft me to my home,
'Columbia, fare•thee-well.
Oft will-my journeyings hero recur,
',leash% memories fraught;
This green spot on the map of life,
Will never be forgot.
Soon will your fading shores, sweet hind,
Be ,hiddenfrom my view,
But never front my heart can fade,
The kindness found in you.
Oh, may the friends so'deei and laved,
Who cheered the stringer'si breast,
All meet in a far better land—
The kindgom of the blest.

'The Laws Crams.
As was intimated in 'ray s{ lasi article on
this subject, I now proceed to notice some
of those provisions of the judicial law which,
as it appear to me, are sometimes Misunder
stood, and from 'which, in • consequence of
that 'misunderstanding, unirarranted infer
ences; bearing on ~certainquestions of mor
als or duty,. are drawn. • ••
•To guard :against' any miaconception , of
my:meaning, let me say at the outset, that
the surpassing excellence of the judicial
code,. whether ;considered:in itsell,,or
comparison ~ with: t he laws of other ancient
nations, is admitted. And the further we
, pursue:our inquiries in this, direction, the
better will we:be Prepared to appreciate the
insttuction_conveyed in the, question which
Moses addressed to the people whom he had
beep. appointed to gevern : " What nation is
there so great, that hath statutes and judg
ments so righteous as this law, which I set
before you this day ?"---:-Dent. iv :8. Bat
this aspect of the subject has been presented
much" better than I could do it, in works
that are aeoeSsihle_to all. Those who desire
to see the excellence of the constitution and
laws evento the Hebrews, ' exhibited in a
very lucid' and satisfactory Manner, are re
ferred to Wines' Commentaries on the Ha
bra • '
It is fully # adinitted; aleo, that Moses en
joyed' the :same plenary inspiration' in ivii
tingtthe judicial law, that he didin writing
the moral—the Author of both is the same.
But if the distinctions which I have en
deavored to establish in former numbers,
are 'carrot, all this is .'perfedly?consistent
with the position which I am now about to
take, viz.,,that the same kind of .excellence
or perfection ; which is,properly attributed; to
the. moral ;law, does =not belong to. the ju
dicial node, nor can; in the natures of the
case, belong to it. , •
The. goodriese ,or excellence, of any civil
; polity or code of laws, is relative to thepur
eircunistancie, and. character -".of the
people to be geverned. A code of laws
which is;good for one people, may be utterly
unfitted icr another people. If this were
not so, if the'civil laws of the Jews as the
product of Infinite Wisdom, wi r e as good
for one community 'ine‘for another, na
tions ought to adopt it,. and every common.
wealth that 'departed 'from - this''inipired
code, or attempted to improve upon it by
enacting other laws, would be guilty of gross
folly and impiety. It is Plaiarthat • the at
tainments in knowledge' the Sentiments, the
habits and customs, and even the-prejudicee
of a people, must be taken into the account
in determining the question whether a given
code of laws ie - good for them: Because no
law that Shocks their sentiments, violently
interferen habits, of con.
flicts with their prejudices, can ever be exe
cuted by their magistrates, in such a way as
to do that people any good, however excel
lent in iteelf, or fora people prepared to re
ceive it; And this remark his peculiar
force in reference'to the Asiatics, who have,
in all ages; been 'distingitished tor" their te
nacity in adhering to ancient •laws and
wages. Now, although God was the.author
of the Jewish civil law, it was, as I had oc
mien to ''remark before, tO'be administered
or executed by. men. To be a wise and
good law, therefore, for, them, it must be
adapted to eircutestances, including
their attainments in knowledge, their habits
and sentiments, their previous laws and
usages, and the influences which operated
upon them---from the examples of surround
ing nations. ' Nay, violent interference with
their rooted prejudices, must be aveided.
Thatihe law given theni was the best possi
ble law for them, that it was 'adapted better
than any. ether law wouldhave•been to-their
circumstances, is undoubtedly4rue ; and:yet
it may be -true that it contained • many pro
visions which were not good i absolutely °On- •
sidered, but onli.in a relative and qualified
sense
It
must not be supposed that the Israel-
Egypt, had ,no laws.
We know= that before they left that—prob
ably diming time, of 'their residenea
there—they• had eldeis, which is milk an
other name-lor magistrates,, or rulors; and
there were, `of 'course, kis by which these
magistrates were 'guided in; administering
justice. Peihapc they had no written laws
—no 'digested code of laws : their laws may
have been rather of the nature of usages,
tharn 'eintottnenta l —r common,' rather than
statute.laws; but still,they had all the force
and all the sanctity.Of laws in the minds of
:the people. Nor can it be dotibted that, the
Jaws and usages of the nations by which
they were. surrounded, } had much to do in
fixing the usages and moulding the institu
tions-of the Israelites. Now, in adapting a
midi of lewd to the circumstances, of this
peopin, to be, administered by ) , their magi&
trates,,true wisdom would require that some
regard should be '.had, to existing laws and
usagei. And,'aCcordingly i we ffa4 in, the

4iffictilt, almost impossible, it is to' prevent
rthe escape of oil- from casks; and yet, the
slightest quantity of this liquid issuing from
bettieen the staves upon cotton may produce
combustion. - Upon this point the following
occurrence is to i be found in the ",Philoso
phical Transactions :"
"Nr. (folding, an official of the East
India Company, had left a bottle containing,
oil, upon a table in , the ar5q41,11e51.4 a cheat
filled with coarse cottons. The bottle was
overturned in the night, probably by rats;
it broke upon the lid of the cheat, and the
oil penetrated the cottons. When the chest
was opened, upen the ensuing morning, the
cottons were , found
.hurning and partially
consunied, while the chest itself was upon
the point' of bursting into flames. In his
first alarm, Mr. Golding imagined, that an'
attempt has been, made to set the arsenal on
fire; but as no traces of inflammable mate
rials were found, after the strictest search in
the vicinity of the cheat, he communicated
the matter, to Mr. Humphries, a brother "of-
fteial. This gentleman had studied °herniae'
works '
among others that of 'Hopson, in
which various eases of spontaneous combus
tion were= delailed. Struck by the similarity
of the occurrence which .had just taken
place, to some of those of which he had
read, he determined upon essaying an exper-
"For this purpose he moistened a piece
of cotton of a similar. description =to rthat
which had been burned, with: linseed oil,
and placed it in a. small box, whioh-he then
looked. Three hours - after, the -box began

of 'his chest."

are known to have had a place in the laws
of all, or nearly all the nations with which
the Israelites had intercourse, before the de.
livery of the law of Moses. And- in re.
laden to some of them, we may safely
affirm, that if they had not been firmly fixed
in the sentiments and habits of the people
to be governed, they would never have
fOund a place: in the legislation of Moses.
What he did in relation to these old estab
lished laws, was to restrict and limit them
so as to render them as unobjectionable as
the circumstances of that people ,weuld per
mit, and render the evils involved in them,
,in some cases, subservient to the purposes
which God designed to accomplish, hy sep.
crating them from other nations and' taking
them into a peculiar relation to himself.
For example, the law''Of blood avenge
nient, as it hi sometimes called, was in force,
it is well known, before the limb of Monti
—it entered into the code. of all ancient
nations, go far es known. smi c , law made
the nearest male relative of the murdered
person, both judge and executioner:: He
was authorized to pursue the murilerer,.and
put him to death wherever, he, might find
him. , This law was not repealed, but modi
fied, restricted, and limited iri the judicial
law of the Jews. By providing pities of
refuge, and restricting the rights- of, 'the
avenger of blood, as
.those rights weeeev ,
erywhere understood, the evils and abuses:
to whiali such a law opens the way, were
mitigated. But may: we not safely affirm
that even in its modification, it wthild never
have been found in the inspired, cede, had it
not been deePly itebedded in the pablic•mind
of that age as a righteous and necessary
law. Our law, which requires •the, trit&of
one who is accused of murder by a jury,
according, to known and established _forms,
and that when convicted, he shall' be exe
dated a public' officer charged With 'that'
duty, is undoubtedly a great improvement
on the ancient laws and usages of the Asi
atics in relation to murder. For us it is a
much better law. And yet we may safely eon
elude; that for:the Hebrews. under the vie
e:umstancee,.the law which Moses gave.was
better. The above : remarks will apply
,to.'
the, jaw ,of :retaliation,.' ,an eye for an eye,
and a tooth for a tootk,", and many, others
found in tee judicial code. They were,not
original enaetnidnts, but modifications of
ancient .laws, intended to guard against'
abuses, and mitigate the evils 'involved in,
laws which were every where considered
just and necessary.. -
In the lawsi and usages of , the Hebrews
before the time 'of Moses, deriV6d, as they
were to some extent, fieni the nations around
them, it is but reasonable to suppose that
there- were some which involved, not only:
bonier and reilitical evils, such as 'have been
noticed above, brit moral evils. elan.' That
is to say, some of their usages which had
the force of law, were morally wrong.
How did He whom• they received at Sinai.
as their King, treat such laws and usages in
the civil code which he revealed to them,Y
Did he utterly' abrogate all such laws, or,
did he limit and restrict them, and arrange
his providence -so as -to make these evils the
occasion of bringing about hie most wise
and holy purposes, in relation to that people?
The question is 'not' what would we expect,
him to-do in such eireunistances, but what
has he actually done 7 To- this question I
propose to call attention in my next.

" These," she said, "I have sacredly kept
from the, day they were taken frommy bus.
band's feet, the 19th, day of April, 1775 ,
They are-,.the only article of his which I'
have retained. ' Though I meant never to
part with them, I am glad to give them now
to you. - That appearance of rest on them,
is Mr Davis's bleed. They were bespat
tered with it, as it spouted from his heart,
through Which,' you know, he was shot;, at
the • old North Bridge. They have never
been wiped since."
She could say no more. That they both
wiped their tears for the unwiped buckles,
we need not add; possibly, you may do the
same think.. HOW , impoitani,,ofteniin::thi l
counekions of history, .are accidents appa
rently the most triviall •
When, some years . ago, Mr. Woodbury
was pleading
,in the Legislature of Massa
chinsetts, for aid to build . the ," Acton
Monument," . and many, of the .members
were'so imbued with "peace principles,'?
as to think it wrong' even to commemorate
the battles of the Revolution and he was
likely to .fail in his object through the
general; opposition, he sent; o the Speaker's
'desk -these shim' buckles,' stating their
hiStory at the, same time, and requesting the
Speaker `to take them in his hin i ds. " The
touch of them,. Sir
' will do you good, They
have an eloquence that. can be felt. Circu
late them, now, if you please,: Sir, through
the House., It will 'do the 4 peace men'
good, also, to touch them. 'There is patriotic
blood on them, Sir, •and , a virtue in them to
stir the patriet if there be any, in
every gentleman's heart I wish them to
circulate, Sir,,aud , will say no more: Like
the poor dinih- maithe' of a Cmsar's
wound's I-bid• them speak for me."
If the spirit of '76 had been discharged
on the, Muse, like galvinism,from a battery,
the, effect: could, not be More thrilling. The.
"peace men said, " You are wrong, Mr.
Woodbury, but, we shall vote • thc, apprepria- u.
tion, notwithstanding." They did so, akd,
the monument in question wtowers ; on the
Acton Common, not less toshow the issue
of an unintended, trifle, than the nobler
results of tle 'Moat determined virtue.—
