fcered, however, that it is not the men tha 1

government is the proper exercise of the
functions of these several offices, and does
not depend on the private notions of those

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,

arises, Is such the case? Who are our of

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.
What! sec his ?:id and melancholy death
work going on and still say peace, peace •
Such a man would ba ati Tußuutqi luo/i-ter,
and unworthy a place in a civilized nation.
And yet what is society doiug but acting the
tery part of such a monster ' Why do not
the intelligent and upright part of every
community put n stop at once to the evil by
| co-operating with national Let

j soon be banished from society. 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?
