What overwhelming, power has done this?.
Where is the arm that has crushed the mighty ones
of the earth. and made them afraid

Who has said, Let there be light, and there was
light, and all men saw it?

—This marvellous change, which all the armies of
the earth could not effect, through all the ages that
have passed, has been accomplished, ( without an evil
thOught or desire toward• a being with life or sensa-
tion,) by the invincible and irresistible power of
TRUTH alone; and for the deed done, no human
being can claim it particle of merit or cmsideration.
That hitherto undefined, incomprehensible, P
which directs the atom, and controuls the liggregate
of nature, has, in this zra of creation, made the world
to wonder at itsrlf.

The nations of the earth will be astonished ! their
heretofore.esteemed sacred institutions—their far.
famed complex political arrangements—and that
varied domestic manners, habits, and languages will
be no long& esteemed among men—,, Old things
shall pass away, and all shall become new." (See
the 58th and 59th chapter of Isaiah, for the calami.
ties of ignorance, and the requisite change; therein
described; and the 65th chapter on the Orunipotruce of
Truth, and the changes to take place in the toliness
of time.)
It may now be asked, What are the characteristic
differences between Old and New Society ?
They are decisive and manifold.

Old society has supposed, contrary to every fact
that has been observed from the earliest period of
known time to this hour, that SIAN FORMS ills OWN',
CHARACTER! ! and all the transactions of mankind have
hem governed"by this absurd notion!! New society will
be instructed by close and accurate attention to all
existing and provable facts—that the child does not
fashion itself in the womb; or direct the language,
manners, habits, sentiments, and associations, which
shall be afterwards impressed upon its natural, phy-
sical, and intellectual posers; and that the whole
character of man is a compound of these combined
circumstances. Old society, therefore, from the hour
the child was born, began a system of conduct dia-
metrically contrary to fact, and Nature was counter-
acted by all the efforts of Ignorance. Nature, how.
ever, continually opposed Ignorance, and all the force
and violence of the latter could not keep the former
in subjection. Ignorance then called in Superstition
and Hypocrisy to its aid, and together they i.,vented
all the faiths or creeds in the world ; a horrid crew,
armed with every torture both for body and mind.
A dreadful conduct ensued; Nature was overcome
and compelled for a long season to receive laws from
.her conquerors, and Lobe the slave of Ignorance and
Superstitition. Nature was then treated with inde-
scribable severity, and would have been put to death
if she had not been immortal, and possessed powers
capable of gradual re-action, equal and superior to
any force that could be permanently exerted Against
her. As.titne advanced, the appalling terrcrs.ot Ig-
norance and Superstition, Faith and Hypocrisy, im-
perceptibly diminished. Experience united herself
to Nature, and produces Real Knowledge and De-
monstrable Truth. These grew up together ; and
in close bond of union with their
.parents, they be-
came
strong, felt conscious of their strength, and
were soon eager for attack. But Nature and Expe-
rience, knowing the wiles and power of their oppo-
nents, restrained their ardour, but inured them to
continual opposition, and severe contest, until Know-
ledge and Truth became assured that their united
efforts would be irresistible. War was then openly
declared against Ignorance, Superstition, Faith, Hy-
pocrisy, and ell their dire associates. The latter in-
stantly sounded the alarm, collected their forces, and
began to prepare for battle. To their utter dismay,
however, Charity, who till now had been compelled
by force, contrary to her nature and inclinations, to
be their ally, and appear in their lront ranks, escaped
their toils, and declared she would henceforward
unite herself solely. with Nature, Experience, Real
Knowledge, and Demonstrable Truth ; but to prevent
all future devastation and misety, she would use her
mediation and obtain the best pouible terms for the
weakened, and now disheartened enemies of Nature
and her invincible allies. This- offer, string all resis-
tance vain and hopeless. was readily accepted, and
Truth and Charity dictated the terms, which, in con-
sequence, were kind and benevolent, evincing that
they were not influenced by anger, revelig,!, or any
evil motive whatever.

Ignorance, Superstition, Faith, and Hypperisy,
were permitted to retain all their pchsessions; to re-
main hee and unmolested in the conquered country ;
but they were to leave it solely to the government of
Nature, aided by Experience and Real Knowledge, as
counsellors. And Charity, assisted by Demonstrable
Truth and Sincerity, were to preside as the active
agents over the whole doininionbot Inc New State of
Society.
Their first c as to make a new code for the
government of the people, in unison with all Na-
ture's laws.

They decreed it to be just, that as Nature was al-
ways passive before birth—in infancy, childhood, and
youth—and was made beneficially or injuriously
active by the treatment she had previously experi-
enced--that Nature could do no wrung ; and, there-
fore, could never•become a proper subject for punish-
ment : that the cause of all her errors proceeded trom
the powers that acted upon her in her passive state ;
and that, if these were consistent and proper, Nature
would become actively rod, and in consequence
universally beloved; bat if they were irrational and
improper, Nature would become disgusting and
wickedoind in consequence disliked and hated by all.
Charity, Truth, and Sincerity, there(ote, decreed,
that soy ONE MLR OF NATURE OUGHT To BB NEG-
LECTED OR IMPROPERLY TREATED ; that it should be
well trained, instructed, associated, and occupied,
and placed amidst circumstances most congenial to

tile genuine ratite of Nature and which were to
be arranged by the twin-sisters &meg and Pune-
Tice, who were to unite their efforts in the execution of
every thing that was to be accomplished. Every nsi
noryegulatiost was in strict unison with these general
'laws ; and Truth was ever watchful to tnat k toe least
deviation from her favourite rule, 4, 'liar iscoNsui.
rime ry ennon," and therefore inconsistency must
never be admitted into any transtctions within the
dominions of the New State of Society. Such as
have been now described are the fundamental differ
ences between man in the OLD, and man in the N.
state of society; in the first he :las been a wretched,
credulous, superstitious, hypocrite; in the last he must
become rational, intelligent, wise, sincere, and good.
In the OLD the earth has been the residence of poverty,
luxury, vice, crime, and misery t in the stew, it must
become the abode of health, temperance, wisdom,
virtue, and happiness. The change from the one to
the other, however, must nut be too hasty. All I ask
is, let it be gradual, and conducted in the true silirA
of benevolence ; and let no one be injured in mind,
body, or estate.

We have, therefore, my friend;, a most important
duty now to perform. The institutions of our fore-
fathers, erroneous as they are, must nut be handled
violence, or even rudely touched. 14., : they
must bz still preserved with care, supported, and pro-
tected, until the new state of society shall be far ad-
vanced in quiet practice ; until it has prov Id its
numberless important benefits to mankind, even to the
conviction of the most unbelieving. Nu ode must suffer
in person, property, or comfort; all will be scan re-
conciled to the change, and lend an helping hand.
—The instructors of the endless, varied, existing
creeds or faiths, which have deluged the world with
blood, and rendered it a curse and desolation, will
all become the unresisting teachers of charity. Bette.
volence will pervade all their language and all their
conduct ; and an evident and substantial :access will
crown every step of their future progress. They will
no longer say, we piped unto you, and ye have not
danced, tor, that we preached in vain.
The whole frame of society may remain as it is ;
the British Constitution will readily admit of every
imptovement requisite to eusure the interest and hap-
piness of ail the subjects of the empire. A CHANGE
of the most extensive magnitude. the world ever con-
templated, will be accomplished without violence or
confusion, or any very apparent opposition. The
feelings and the interests of mankind imperiously
demand this change ; THE WORLD AIPROVE3-AND
NONE CAN ROUT!

1627 bags more than during August, 1816.
" lAIPZUPOOL. SEPTEMBER 6.—The imports of
Cotton are now beginning to tall off, having been
only 22,500 bags last month, whilst the sales during
the same period were estimated at 47,000, but of
these about 15,000 have been on speculation. The
stock is therefore expected to be very light, espe-
cially in Boweds and Orleans, of which (as far as
calculation can be made) the market will become ex-
tremely bare by the time the new crops begin to ar-
rive from the United States. The demand for all
descriptions et Cotton has, consequently, been very
animated ; a good deal h as been done on speculation,
and an advance has taken place on most kinds of id.
per lb. The sales are estimated at 16,000.

SUGAR. - The demand for Muscotades during last
week continued. very considerable, the purchases were
chiefly for refilling, and the Sugars fit for the pans
realized a further improvement of about one shil-
ling per cwt.
The refined market was Is. bighcr last week.—
Molasses continue in good demand.

I matt PuovisioNs.—Prime parcels of Beef and Pork
continue scarce, and maintain a high currency ; the
demand for Pork in the West Indies has been very
extensive. Bacon is still in very limited demand, and
heavy sale. There was a considerable request los
Butttrs last week ; the demand has since given way.
RlCE.—These was a considerable demand for Rice
last week ; the places could not be stated at any va-
riation. The tall ut the Cor,n-market yesterday will
have some effect in depressing the prices. Much
