TO THr. F.DITOR OF THR STATISM AN.

Stet,—Governed by no ordinary impels., I ones

was first communicated—whose writinp exhibit a

adorned soy see or deanery. whether considered as
poets, legislators, or warriors—whether ander the
Divine Theocracy or rept Govecnovinies, we find the
Jewish nation, pre•eminently adorning human aware
in their writings sad essincles, equally a friend to
the oppressed, and a "terror to evil doers." (ire the
first linty Alliance, Joshes ch. 10, verses 25 and 20.)
—And ferthormore, are we not aware, Sir, that their
laws (the Jewish) not only chestiest* a trans-

God and Reason, should the decendants of the it-
lestrioes Patriarchs and the Prophets be still systema-
tically porredited by "the Powers that be?" The
free tow• of Lubeck, as we have been informed by
reedit letters from that city, is ender the immediate
protection of the F:mperer of AUSTRIA. Doting the
last war, in eery city, town, o r village where Jews
resided, they not only offered their properly, bet
their lives, for the support and protection of their
Sovereigns. The Crowned Heads, in many instances,

loges of citizens throughout his dominions, with the
