" History," we were told years ago by the mo-
dern school of philosophy, " is an old almanack."
The recorded experience of the past was an incon-
venient book of reference for presuming and shal-
low theorists ; and it was, therefore, denounced as
behind the march of intellect : as a musty collection
of stale facts, only fit to be thrown into the lumber
room and forgotten. The philosophy of the present
day, however, goes even further than to discard, as
inappropriate, the lessons of history. Liberalism,
in its ultra and quasi-infidel form, as well as in its
new guise of mock Conservatism, discards the re-
vealed Word of God himself, as " an old almanack,"
unworthy to be quoted in its councils, unfit to he
looked upon as the guide of legislation ; and the
lessons, the warnings and the teachings of its di-
vine author as things only to be regarded, as of au-
thority or value in the regulation of our 'mundane
affairs, by bigots and fanatics. In this enlightened
age our statesmanship has shaken off at once the
leading strings of past human experience and the
light of divine wisdom.
Upon no occasion has this daring presumption
been more openly displayed than during the discus-
