BLASPHEIVIING SOCIALISTS. "
Sunday Times.
" The history of the world informs us that opinions are
seated in the mind, and the mind is not susceptible of
change from that coarse instrument of Government—force.
They yield to lenity, to reason, to experience."—P. 275.
Watson, Bishop of Llandaff.
" Bat the Socialists step in and inform the murderer or the
thief that his conscience condemns him only, because he is
an ignorant and uneducated person, who has imbibed the anti-
quated prejudices set afloat in society by designing men ; and
that could he penetrate into the depths of the matter, he
would find that, in reality, he had nothing to do with the
action for which his conscience and the laws condemn him ;
that his physical organization, existing independently of his will,
necessarily impelled him towards crime ; that circumstances,
over which he had no more control than over the laws
which regulate the peculiar frame of his organization,
strengthened what is vulgarly denominated the criminal
impulse ; and, therefore, that nature and the structure
of society, operating irresistibly and independently of him,
were at once the original and proximate cause of the deed
committed by his hand, for which, accordingly, he ought no
more to he considered responsible than the knife with which he
may cut his neighbour's throat. This, in brief, is, I believe,
a fair exposition of the philosophy of Socialism ; and it behoves
the public carefully to consider, whether the interests of indi-
viduals or communities are likely to be promoted by the propa-
gation of such doctrines. The rise and spread of this sect.
afford a striking illustration of the pernicious effects attending
the introduction of false principles into philosophy
The remedy, however, is at hand ; false knowledge must be
counteracted by real knowledge ; the people must be instructed
instead of being perverted; philosophy must be made to undo
the work of sophistry. And for this Government is re-
sponsible."—Stinday Times, April 5, 1840.

society would
never have been known, had not God, when he had created him
given him a law for the rule of his life. And what proves this
without the possibility of refutation is, that the savage hordes,
as above-mentioned, who have been listening to the dictates
of nature," to the present day know nothing of the precepts of
morality. The dictates of nature, without the precepts of re-
vealed wisdom, teach them nothing of the nature of man, or
of his relations in his society : " they meet to destroy each
other," and afterwards to feast en the flesh of their fellow-men,
and offer their children to the idols of " nature." Such has
been the practice of the inhabitants of all countries, who have
" listened to the dictates of nature; and such would he
the case with the inhabitants of England, and of
all Christian nations, were they to "listen to Ihe dictates of
nature ;" they would fall into rusticity and savage barbarity ;
and I should expect to see the image of the old multi-mamma,
the many-breasted Alother of Nature, the Dagon of the Philis-
tines, the Apollo of Greece, or the Alolochian abomination of
Juggernaut, set up in Christian lands, and temples erected to
the Goddess of Reason, instead of the churches for the reason-
able worship of the Creator and Preserver of mankind, the Lord
God Omnipotent.
" But let these objectors turn their eyes to the conduct of
those who assumed the title of " modern philosophers," theo-
philanthropists, pretended lovers of God anti man ; who, when
there was no king in France, but every man did that
which was right in his own eyes, sent forth the mid-
night assassin, and murdered the innocent by thousands in
the true Deistical, Robespierian spirit of showing no mercy;
deluged the land with blood, and carried horror, rapine, plun-
der, destruction, and death throughout the nations of Europe.
Such has been the conduct of those who believe in no God,
but infinite space' worshippers of some inconceivable non-
entity, which they call ' Nature,' and who profess with their
lips not to believe in a future state, though they thirst for im-
mortality. Hence the absurdity of supposing that a system of
morality may be built upon, what these wild and inconsistent
writers call Nature ;' her book is a blank, not a single pre-
cept of morality is to be found in the pages of this non-entity."

A SINCERE desire of averting evil, and pro..
.L moting good, induced Mr. EDWARD FARRELL to
notice a most malevolent spirit of ferocious outrage which has
for some considerable time been manifested, and which seem
as the prelude of every species.,of tumultuary violence that a
course of conduct which evinces an utter contempt for

lal the usages of civilized life, and which must have pro-
ceeded from the most abandoned profligates, should have been
tolerated, much less encouraged, must excite the astonishment
of every well-disposed member of the community, that there
arc those pests in society who are always anxious to effect every
mischievous purpose, and who practice every artifice which they
can devise to seduce as many as possible into the commission
of crime is, unfortunately, too true; but that any rational beings
should be the abettors of the evil-minded is wholly unaccount-
able. committ crime is bad, but to encourage others in
their iniquitous pursuits is the act of a fiend; it is the most
convincing proof of malice that can be given; it is confederating
with man's eternal foe to effect the perdition of the human
race; there is, notwithstanding, much came to apprehend that
many are chargeable with this enormous guilt, and that it will
ultimately lead to the subversion of all social order. State-
ments are still made that clandestine proceedings hard been
taken, and fraudulent claims made, against the writer's pro-
perty, and that a solicitor, to whom he made applicat►on some
time since merely for information, had taken some proceedings
in his name, but as he hadno authority to do so, and gave no in-
formation, it is, probab'y, a false report, but not improper to be
noticed. It cannot surely be possible that persons and pro-
perty are so wholly unprotected as that secret proceedings of
any kind can he permitted, as in such case civil liberty would
no longer exist. It is an axiom well understood that power is
held in trust for the benefit of the people ; it is in such case
only that it should be submitted to; no one has a right to act
wrong. It is the voluntary slave that makes the oppressor do
good to all and harm none.
