(JOW^KU?:it is necessary in order to the well being of society; and conse quently there must be a class of men to ex orcise that authority. It must be rcmoin fcered, however, that it is not the men tha 1 are to be regarded in a strict sense, but the office which they fill; consequently good government is the proper exercise of the functions of these several offices, and does not depend on the private notions of those vho fill the office. It will easily be per ooiv. 'l. then, that those who fill civil offi ce- are higbiy honored, but at at the same time they become the servants of the pco -1.0, or, ni other words, they are only true A Weekly Paper, Devcted to Literature, Politics, the Arts, Sciences, Agriculture, &c., Ac—Terms: Two Dollars per annum. to the nature of their office, when they seek the general good in tho exercise of the junctions of their office. There is no mem here for sejftshness, —that source of evil.— For a more full understanding of the sub ject, it would be noccssary to determine what is tho nature and extent of these func tions. and this could not be done without ut the same time a clear idea of government itself. It is not our purpose at present to enter into an investigation of (his kind, but will take for granted that this is already understood. .Selfishness, then, it has been shown, mnM be left out of tire sphere of usefulness in the case of civil offices. The question arises, Is such the case? Who are our of fice seekers? Examine their motives, and see Imwfar they are influenced by ati ear nestness fur public good; and after so do ing, what conclusion can a prudent man come to? \\ hat is the nature of the means made use of in order to the accomplishment of certain proposed end.-? Shame, shame to our illustrious country that her sons are becoming more anxious about her rich tryis i-TfS than her prosperity and peace. Po- ' litical parties have become rotten to their I centre, and instead of boiug.au advantage I to our national prosperity, -they have Ire- j come a well-cushioned gab die on which I , ... *T j demagogue* ride brio office ; and have little i or ne concern about the "uJ-Gc good.

Men may cry pence, but these are false gnids, and every true an 1 patriotic heart has need to examine the structure which deiusgoguery is about to erect. fam an American citizen, but claim no relation to the American party ; and cons *- qnen'ly do not raise a cry against the t//tf parties, simply whioli have hug stood in brave Content ; no, I love to behold thu proud banner of American grea?ues float proudly attd despise the little spirit of any party or set of men. whu would dare to mar !ier beauty by presuming to expon.se interests which uphold hor staff"out of sel fish, or simply political motives. The whole atmosphere is impure, old parties us well as new, —selfish motives have too touch to 'o in the matter , and consequently the con temptible ambition to which I ailnded is seen throughout the land *. and need# but a mighty reaction, which will, yea must, soon sweep tin© present system of wire-working into the maelstrom of ambition. As 1 have aiieady pruiraetcd my paper to a considerable length, and have another proposition, I will omit, referring to the lat ter clause of the seeon.l, —having reference to ambition in religions action. I now coinc to my fast point, that law is too little regarded, and justice ton often put to shame. It haj already been remarked that government, or law is necessary to tho well-being of society ; and, indeed, strictly speaking there can be no society with tut law. But ignorance combined vrith selSsh lmss is active here 5 and the effects are felt on all sides. Men often complain of the want of lowa when tiiev have no right to oowplaiu ; and yet fail to obey those which arc already in existence. Take MS an in stance the apendUirift. lie foolishly spends ~n immense fortune, brings misery and wretchedness upou his family , and finally perhaps ends If is days in a poor-house or asylum. They would say that such a man ought to be prohibited by law from such a course of conduct. Here is evidently a want of a proper understanding of the ends which civil law proposes to roach. Has not a man a right to do with his own as he pleases ? I answer he has not. I'ot the question arises, if there is 110 cjvjl law to prevent, why Iras lie not such a right ? I answer that the civil Jfcw must remain in its owa shperc, and leave the mmai law to operate in its sphere. A man any not. waste his goods or property and bring distress upon his family because his on conscience tells him h is sinful, and unworthy 'he dignity of his nature. This is only two case many Othersmight ho noticed: but it is ] necessary to .be more general and this brings nie tq consider the false character of socie ty. Of course it will be seen that this em bodies the two fast ideas : —law and justice* 1 Laws it ii universally admitted are necessa ry ; and with .their execution is connected justice and injustice. How is this. ? A 1 earned an ! distinguished American writer has said. "OA.' how olit/as and comtmptible jsterr. the miserable elusions, perversions, and subterfuges that tee continu atbj hrrfnf in the adtrChristroiiou af justice.''* Is all this but the flickering of a weak mind ?' Certainly not. Such authority cannot be mistaken and especially so when proof is so near at hand Doe* -not common sone teach every candid observer (hat the Temple j of Justice has been shamefully polluted? Jloi to be more minnte. What, it may be: asked, is thepbject of courts of justice ? To j protect the lights of the people. Well ie: some attention be given to the manner m which the "dear rights" of aho people are .protected. Must I point t.i instances, or must I give the direct source of information i L:i itpot b*; asked, but rather let each otic examine the public papers, ana they can satisfY '(hehfc&lves concerning the truth o. ; rcy remarks. I ask, does the poor man have j tile same cliancc, as the rich Uiali ! Who j will say he Ims ? Suppose n case occurs, as , many do, in which a poor, intemperate wretch is implicated; and does it not follow almost universally that he is soon convict ?*1 and lodged imprison 1 Nq*v t-a the other' hand, suppose a rich nrnti is found to be ; guilty of a similar crime is the court 6? ready tp co.nv.ict Liui? No! his family and friends must not be so disgraced : and if j any connivance which at all will appear rea sonable can bo effected, he is sure to escape* ' i Is not such the case. An iu stance is before niy mind at this tiuie. It is true there arc instances to the contrary : at d such t.o as do hotrnr to our national iu iepeudaacsi an I greatness; but why should it not in general#, Why should poverty bring disgrace upon ; tnv man? or why should a ffch man be j honored rim wore on account of his riches ? An English fPtfet has raid, "An honest ! man's the noblest work of God," a .1 cer.- rainlv there can be no difference whether he J be rich, or poor. But it is not only in the public execution j of the law that there is a want of strict i justice \ —there are other reasons why it lpay be said that law is too Utile regarded ? and justice put to shame. (Society is false, and no man can prove contrary. It will not staud the scrutiny of severe ethics. Toe law in its spirit aims at, or at least should aim at, the public good. It i< evident to every reflecting ta':i I that in this respect tire civil and moral law, must linnuouizs. The [/üblic good cannot be maiutaiiied iu any other way ; and that system of law i which does not thus harmonize, will undoubtedly he a source of evil rather than good. Take, for example, the !:;w, the spirit of which aims at the removal of the great ovii of in temperance. The civil latv can do no more: titan prevent one man from selling ccrUia liquors to his fellow-man. It c.aorwt pre vent the man from drinking when heotsce has the liquor in his possession. This most b>; effected by the law of his own conscience, or the mora! law. Bit tbe law is too litti regarded : if it were not so this scourge of our country would be speedily harried into the dark regions of eternal oblivion. But how is this sorae one will say 1 Weil I will slow you how it is. Boc.ety as before said is fuisc: it does not remain trim to i*s own dearest interests ; nor make any great advance. Where is the man who is possessed of a sound mind, that will ftr one moment uarc to say that intemperance is not an evil ? No : such one can be found. Let die eviU of this unnatural and beastly practice be un folded, and the human heart is shocked : even the meanest miser cannot stand un moved. What! sen an evil, like a mighty epidemic with alt its tenor, sweeping over our couutry; leaving misery, wroteliediie.-s, and destruction in i' course; ciosiug up the secret fmaulaih of huuian happiness* in a word hurling with iHiUieiviuii power hun dreds and thousands Of thoughtless, and yet immortal b ings; into an awful etgmity.

Is it not | abundantly evident that the law* ofooru r land aro too lilile regarded? But more than this. The intemperate torn when once his property, money, and character, have been buried a? it were, is regarded as a nuisanco bv society ;'and consequently must be turned into the Poor llousi. Oye who love justice and truth. I appeal to yon: tell me, can this be justice*; eaa such i a course secure Iho blessing of heaven ; can the spirits of the ill tis trims d*ad look down with pleasure upon stick dead*, of kindness ? No, let the voice of an insulted honor cry no*, never. Society is tn fault. The in telligent, the upright, the rich and the high arc to 11 une. They have failed to do their duty : and the justice of heaven will surely confound (hero, when the secrets of ■ men's hearts will ba revealed. The man who is overtaken by misfortune ;c thrown into confusion and trouble : ami to drown bis grief seizes tie intoxicating bowl his neighbor, no doubt rich and in dependent, instead of rendering a small amount of assists rice which would again re- store the unfortunate to circumstances of peace, would rather take advantage of his misfortune in oider to enlarge his own pos sessions; and thus leave the wretched man to wander in the dark regions of despair. This saam individual in the c<iur.-e of a few years niiiy perhaps ire found a miserable drunkard—a beast in human form, —whereas if society had be n true to its own interests he might still l>e a happy, resectable, and useful mart. Who is to blame, then, for a great amount of 'he evil now overwhelming our land? Men make a great noise about temperance laws : and the evilso? intehtper. ancc *. but what can law do, when the s* hit of the times is fake 1 In niy opinion the sin of onnnission on lire part of so.esety is as great as that ot commission. Would a who man still when he. beholds his neighbor about to take his life by iß'tns of hinging himself? or would any man stand unmoved on seeing 'lis friend in a fit of madness about to take the life of a fcT.ow-man? of AfotlTu liny ttrTT* visual remain comroscd on seeing a madman rushing along the streets insulting and kil ling tbf citizen* ? With eqti.il propriety should every iutellig *ut patriotic ami upright citizen, consider it a duty to use all this power aud. influence to check the evil of in i Munevance. If such xcerc ibe ease an intemperate man would find no encourage ment : and. indeed, would be a-himed to appear tn the eouspnny ©f respectable men. But ch is not th * care,—very far from i'. \\here, then, is the use of having a temper ance law, except only for the name of the thing?
