THOMAS KOAX,
session of the Connecticut Legislature.
(( Civil and religious liberty, resulting
from a due subordination to law, human and
divine, is the greatest good which nations,
as such, can enjoy; and is at once the
evidence, and the fruit, of an elevation of
character in the citizens, far above that
which belongs to the mass of mankind;
and the degree, in which it is enjoyed by
any nation, is the criterion by which a
judgement is to be formed, of the merit of
that nation. This is an inheritance which
our ancestors possessed from the beginning,
which they have, by the help of God,
transmitted to us, at the price of blood,
and which we are bound, at the same price
if need be, to hand down unimpaired to
posterity. ♦
“ The European nations have for ages
been elevated above those of Asia or Africa,
because the Sun of Righteousness has
beamed upon the former and not upon the
latter. England, Holland and Switzer
land, have long enjoyed more of this liber
ty than the other European nations, be
cause they have felt his beams less ob
structed by clouds of moral darkness than
they. .And on this side of the Atlantick,
the same inestimable gift of Providence has
been enjoyed, in a visible proportion to the
operation of the same vital cause. The
revolutions which have recently deselated
Europe, originating in an awful apostacy
of those nations from the Christian faith,
have terminated in the establishment of a
despotism analagous to, those of the East;
and we must expect, that (he same cause,
in proport ion as it prevails, will produce
the same effect, in this Western world.
" Indeed it must be evident that without
the illumination of religion and science a
people must forever remain incompetent to
the task of self-government II is equally
evident that a system of policy founded in
the love of truth and justice, in the inter
course of nations, is as essential, as it is in
the intercourse of individuals; and as
Thy Mart's parting blessing take ;
Nor heed me, though 1 fondly rave.
And sigh as though my heart would break i
For trust me, love, I could not brook
“ And what is vict’ry’s flowry wreath I
“ A painted post—a morning dream—
“ A wand'ring light which lures to death.”
Thus Mary mourn’d, of hope bereav’d,
And William fought—for be was brave.
And whilst her breast with anguish heav'd,
Her Aero found a bloodstain 'd grave !
As light'ning quick, the tidings spread,
And Mary sunk beneath the stroke i
Life, transient life, forever fled,
Its “ silver chords” and chrystal broke.
And this thy triumph, horrid war !

One little moment give to love:
I have a thousand things to say.
And must thy sweet forbearance prove.
Forgive my tears i oh do not frown—
Clasp your, dear infant to your heart;
Ohl fever flown t
Muat we part ’
Hush I hush, my inAnt, weep not so,

FROM THE NATIONAL IVTBLLIORNCER.
THE SEQUEL TO THE
f>aetrp.
“ The happy consequences which have
resulted from the liberality of our ances
tors, and of the present generation, in the
support of common schools, of the College
and of the Christian Ministry, demonstrate
the correctness of this theory. The uni
formily and stability, which have marked
our publick conduct, are the genuine fruit
of these and similar measures. In these
remarks, it is no part of my object to eulo
gize the state; my design te tp prompt to
perseverance in that courts which I deem
essential to our safety and honour.
“ The education of youths is an all impor
tant object in every free State, because it
forms th* character of the eftiatn ; and as
that character is, such will be that of the
State. Much has been done on this sub
ject, aad much more might be effected,
if the wisdom of the Legislature was to be
employed upon it, with unremitting atten
tion. The State have important interests
in evefy child, which is born or lives awder
its jurisdiction; an interest paramount
even co that of its parents. The strength
of the State lies in the number of its citi
zens, and the strength of the citisena lies
in thyir talents, natural and acquired ; and
it being the duty, us well as the interest, of
the State, to increase its strength by ull
lawfsl means, it will follow that the educa
tion of the youths and the instruction of the
citizens in general, in moral and religious
truth, will come within its province. To
replenish the opening mind with the rudi
ments of natural science is, indeed, the
first step to be taken, in the course of edu
cation ; but this is only a mean to a fur
ther end, the amendment of the heart; if
this is not effected, the acquisition of know
ledge may be worse than in vain, both to the
individual and to the publick. The latter
has been carefully attended to, but the for
mer it is believed has been too much neg
lected. In the selection of instructors in
our common schools, such as are immoral,
irreligious, or unfriendly to the constitution
and laws of the land, should be utterly ex
cluded.
*• In the course of events, it is sometimes
proper for the Legislature to examine the
correctness of ancient laws and institutions,
by referring them to first principles; it
will be admitted, however, that they ought
to be touched with a cautious hand. Suf
fer me to mention an ancient law of this
State, entitled “ An act relating to bills of
divorce," as, in my opinion, unsound in
principle. The exceptionable part of the
statute is, that which allows of divorce,
‘‘/or wilful deter lion for three years,
with total neglect qf duty,** This provi
sion is opposed to the rule which has ever
been established in almost every part of
the Christian world : and as it admits the
principle that a legal and fair marriage
may be dissolved for other causes than
that of adultery, which, it is conceived, is
the only legitimate cause, so the Legisla
ture, especially of late years, have granted
divorces for any cause, not specified in the
statute, which they deemed subversive of
the ends of marriage. This practice is
right in principle, if the statute be so; if it
be not, it ought to be corrected, both as
rule to the Court and as a leading step to
• wards altering the practice of the Legis
lature. I trust, that my presenting this
subject to view may be imputed to its pro
per cause, a sense of duty ; and not to any
want of respect for what may be at present
the publick opinion.”
much more important, as the security of
the former is more interesting than that of
the latter. Nothing can tend more effec
tually tn enkindle and keep alive the flames
of war in the human family, than that art
ful and insidious policy, which, while it is
gloried in by many, as the perfection of
wisdom, has, for the most part disgraced
the diplomatick intercourse of nations.

The late failures in St. Petersburg!);

ing amount, and the distress in the com

anxiety in consequence of the pressure of
the times, and the strides which Bonaparte
is making in the North, to curtail his pow
