Tht. Country has lately witnes-
sed an awful proof of the influence and effect of
those demoralizing principles, which have more
or less affected the security of the Altar and the
Throne, and invaded the sanctuary of the domes-
tic hearth. While Ailieism and Infitfelity have
assailed the Word of Troth, Republicanism has
sapped the foundations of Liberty, and compelled
oar Legislatots partially to abridge those Privi-
leges which could only be preserved by confining
their operation within proper bounds. I have fre-
quently been digusted at the impotent attempts
which have been made to gloss over the conduct,
and extenuate the crimes of such cold blooded
wietches as those who,e lives have so recently
been justly forfeited to the Laws of their Couirry
It is difficult to conceive from what motives such
a line of proceeding can arise. There is a certain
class who pretend to see no danger, although
Treason unfurls its noon-day standatd, and aa,as-
siltation holds its midnight conferences—althongl.
daily, nay hourly, the vilest attacks ate math!:
upon our National Faiths, arid the Institutions of
our Ancestors are ridiculed and despised. phis
species of bravado is surely any thing but patrio.
tism, ai.d the (fleet which is c,lculated to pro-
duce noon the minds of the illiterate, is truly la-
mentable. It is out of the course of nature that
any human Institutions can when assailed,
except means of resisting the assailants he resort-
eit to. Flats this been done at an early period
of the French Revolution, that stain upon
Ilis-
toty could not have brought Monarchy to the
ceaffold, acrd banished Legitimate Royalty—l-noel►
fess would its effects have extended beyond the im-
mediate scene of its crinbies and spoliat ions. To the
temporising policy which was pursued when its
ravages first commenced, all its subsequent hor-
rors may be attributed, and had the Ministers
of the British Crown, oust,, a late occasion, ne-
glec,ed to have profited by experience, and left or-
dinary laws to have met extraordinary emergencies,
it is more than probable, that, ere this, we
should been engaged in a severe struggle for oar
national liberties. Instead of the English Flag
of genuine Liberty, we should probably have been
compelled to have witnessed, certainly not to have
fought under Republican Banners, and, the non-
sensical jargon of a Tribune might have usurped
the functions of the British Senator. Surely it is
both disingenuous and childish to instil a belief
into the minds of the lower orders of the people,
that any efforts which Ministers may use to de-
fend the Constitution against the envenomed
shafts of her Republican and Infidel Enemies, are
only so pinny advances towards the establishment
of an arbitrary system of Government. The worst
enemies to freedom are (generally speaking)
those who are the most clamorous in its defence;
and while they pretead to bask in its sunshine,
and tight under its banner, they an trcquently
instrumental in obscuring the one and thinning
the ranks of the other.

We received this morning the Paris Papers of
Saturday last. In the Chamber of Deputies on
Friday, M. LAINB, the Reporter, made his reply
at great length, respecting the Election Projet,
after which the deliberation was commenced on
the articles. This continuation of the discus-
sion may last perhaps as long as the reading of
speeches on the whole Projet. After five speeches
had been delivered, the discussion of art. I. was
adjourned till Saturday. The following are Ex-
tracts :

AITEMPT TO ASSASSINATE MESSRS. B. CONSTANT

We stop the Press to communicate to our
Readers the Substance of a Letter from Paris,
which we hive just seen. It is dated SafilN

clay, and states lh%it BENJAMIN CONSTANT and
MANUEL, two leading Liberals in the Chamber
Of Deputies, were attacked by some of the
Garder-du-Curps, on Friday evening, but the
interference of the mob prevented the assassina-
tion of these two celebrated men. The Journals
of Saturday are silent on this subject. IV c really
think that the Ultras are playing an hazardous
gatne.----Tbeir iinprodent conduct, we are afraid,
will produce a Revolutionary re-action.
