Tne president it appears has arrived
at thA»ent df the general government
in good health. Our political affairs;
will soon begin to assume A decisive |
course. Meantime produce of a cer
tain kind looks up ; and money,, 0°t*
withstanding the critical situation aMo-.
reign relations, is not altogether so
scarce an article among our farmer*
and planters as on some former occasi
ons. Federal croaking* are no ‘onger
considered as ominous; and, ns the

. . , Richmond, Oct. 9. 1910.
J|ffitaingoUr is the disposition of rr.an
kRW Vish regard to certain qualities of
our nature, that a principle? w-icti is
insisted on whilst it operates against a
man is discarded when it operates in
his favor. The sligher-t insinuation im
aginable is sufficient to injure an indi
vidual in the estimation of his fellow*
citizens; the suggestion of a knave is
enough to excite the busy tongue of
scandal and to de moralize character ;
but neither insinuation, tior suggest*!
on, nor even probable circumstantial
proof u.ili be entirely admitted in ex
culpation of a man: there is a nativ.
oias, it would seem, in society* to the,
belief ot every thing that can defame '
our fellow creatures, which never ceases
to operate till it reaches the point that
we call pit), and pity is a srosation as
we all know, more corroding than heaL
iog to refined sensibility. "2 his poru ait
of human nature, tv hich no man of the
leaft experience iu the world will deny
to be a likeness, funosh-'s a sad view of
the condition of humanity / for, howe-‘
v^yiladanthropists may attempt to
c^T&jjKt, there can be no doubt that
sucb Aqjkpottitiun in m.mkinvi proceeds
t from the intrinsic vile ness ot our na
ture, which, judging from its own sen
sations, is prompt to believe ot others
what it Teels a tendency to in itself
These reflections are calculated to
humble the pride of man / but, never
theless, I imagine they are necessary
to him in his present state; because, in
the complicated concerns of society,
vice would be too secure in its machi
nations if there were not in the human
breast a counteracting promptness ot
suspicion, brought into activity by the
consciousness of a general correspond
ing j^|opensity in the whole human race.
We^rwlge that in this or in that situa»
tioft £fman will act in this or in that
way; and We jujgc eo, because we
kn*w that such in the doctrine of his
species. Cslcuia.ions, truly made, up
on this doctrint, constitute what we
call foresight; and he will make the
best estimate of what will happen in so

ed have some modern (*o say nothing
of ancient) individuals been in this sci
cnee, that they have predicted things
with so much certainty that they have
passed for prophets or men endowed
bv the Deity with a miraculous faculty.
Yet, when we come to analyze this ca«
pac ty cf foresight, we find that it lain
fact nothing more in the intellectual
than what chemistry is in the natural
world : chemistry is the knowledge ol
the qualities of substances ; capacity ol
foresight is tne knowledge of the quuli.
ties ot intellect: the chimist can tell,
jyoVwhen a certain quantity of a cer*
tau^lescription of substances are cora
poui^ed, what tflFect will be p odured ;!
and an individual w ell versed in the
operations ol intellect, can. pretty near
ly, pronounco the effect of a series of
complex emotions. The moral rule
of opinion 13 the converse of the
legal rule—the latt.-r holding every
man innocent until he is proved
guilty; whilst the former admits
guilt upon mere accusation. In
the legal rule the c'tizen finds his po
litical and personal security; in the
moral rule society finds a safeguard
from the excess of dishonest artifice.
In perverted roindsthe mural rule ope
rated too stronglv; lor stiuh intellect*
believe too ^nickly a::d too much up
on bare conjecture; whilst in minds
rigkLkJramed, si.rm -es and huggts
tionsmave no further induente than to
inculcate caution. Hut ihrre is no i.ior.
tal mind whatever, it is presumed, but
does, moro or less, yield to the pres

I that human nature has been properly

complain of cut frail Condition, is to

N'»tless remarkable arc the maxims
of the world in relation 10 egotism.—
Every b»-d> i« considered at liberty to
accuse an- her; to bring charges, to
adduce ev fence, and even to incul*
rate an ind’vidual upon presumption.
Vet iLme parly accused, in vindication
of^JfeJkf, g -c* into a recital of his
own g<yL-actions, the world affects to
be ittKKU itii the monstrous vanit)
of '.ht^paAand is> in utter asionishment
at his egotism ! Yet, why should not
a ettizeri Ve allowed lo recite his good
actions as »f his rectitude of
conduct in life f * TV jt be answered
that most meu are incib?cd to run into,
vaio-boasting and the like ' V whl re
ply, that the scrutinizing sense
community will always pare down the*
narrative which a man publishes of
his own actions to their proper value ;
for, like water, human actions will find
their level. Let us pursue this a little
further, and test the propriety of the
maxim by its influence in the political
wo Id. A magis'rate is immediately
denounced for mal-conduct, and scan*
dal teaZes him for the slightest faults .*
the acctwer is ha':l«*f as a patriot, and
accol\teT>a man deserving the thanks
of tl^r]Uftple. But if au individual
steps forward to vindicate the accused
magistrate, and details .the rood which
'he officer has performed in nis station,
the fate of that individual is widely
dilferent from the fate of the accuser i
oe is decried as a time-server, a syco
