As Mr. Owls le about to sebmithis new view of so-

remarks. Many persons, including the Editor of the
Thug, have endesersered to awaken fears among the
People that Mr. Oval's pledicenteeplates an 'bred&
must of their liberties. This is very unjust, and it
is more especially so in such writings es those of the
notor,.hich on other oceasionses press strong hatred
of practising upon the political seraph/sofas mass ;end
have never failed to treat the °Oohing of the populace
upon political questions with the most profound con-
tempt. Now, without pledging ourselves to the fu-
sibility or practicability of Mr. Owers's plan, we
may very safely pronounce, that any opposition to it
which may came in the present state of enquiry from
such quarters, is no more a proof of its inadequacy
or its impropriety, has the .bjections of American
banters to civilization and agriculture, ere proofs of
their superiority over the children of science. All
that they can possibly have credit for is the doubtful-
ness of ignorance; they know of no practicable
institetioes, except those " by law established," and
it is gotta is vain to ergs to them the experience of the
peat, the danger of the present, or the probability
of the fulcra. They at* boned to the support of
the Constitution, not as it was, nor as it will be,

To ono EDITOR or rOE STATESMAN.

Sta,—Tating • tarn the other dry in the great
aisle of Se. Peel's, and observing the various statute
of milits-y mud naval heroes, with the shattered co-
lour.. ke hong op as trophies of the success of the
Britt.h mews, I could not avoid being struck •itit the
singular unfitness of lino:lrving a Temple *reeled for
worshipping the COD of Peace, with the insignia of
War —of erecting in a place which yon are not al-
lowed to enter eitboat tieing uncovered, on account
of Its supposed sanctity—the statues of men who have
distinguished themselves only in the strifes, the son-
pinery quarrels, and desperate KUM of this world.
If we carry with es the idea of this Wog a plane
of superior sanctity, which it is urtaioly intended
we should do, Is it possible to ?rigid the introduc-
tion of the statues of these men in any other light
thane that of palpable profanation, as a gross viola-
lion of every religions feeling ? I know not of what
valerian the minds of others see composed, or hew
far custom may have operated to reconcilcineessis-
Main in the minds of some men, heti should think
.the sight of these monoments, recalling to mind as it
most do the seas of blood through which the here has
waded 184.111'11w., would produce in the mind of•any
man .a feeling contrary to religieo, or infallibly dis-
turb his devotions.

I should not, however, bare thought it worth
while to bare troobled You with. my reflections eta
this sebject, had it not bete for the occerrence of as
incident to which I attach considereble interest, end
•
which, I presume, will.eot be !height. generally
uninteresting. A Gentleman near me enqeired of
a I.vdy, whom couutensoce described a more tban
ordinary share of intelligence, which was the grave
of Neesoe; having plated it oet to him, he replied,
serveyieg the surroundiag monuments, " We do ear
ementrymen in arms great ho Madam, by the.
erecting statues to their memory." She replied,
with Indifference, " These a►e those of military
heroes; now there is one (turnip./ resed and point-
ing to that of the philanthropist !foveae), there is
one greeted, to real merit." The emphasis with
which she proneeoced the word real, implied, as
strongly as words could etorem, that tlte merit stir!.
bated to Itereeti ryes sinrea!, and Ow it Ives the deed
of the philautbrepist alone that constituted true
greatness.

I should pot rrhaps !ivy' outiced this remark, had it
not pioc.aodad from one of that see oho ere known
to untortain a strong prepossession in fuuer of mi-
litary actions and military men. It struck me ford-
bly on that account. I would have given any thing
to have known her address, if it had boon only la
give to t►is circumstance, when for the It of Um
sea I s►all hereafter quote it—.

" A local ►ibitailoo an/ a now."
There's another thlog worthy of remark. Of them.
