'ME STATUSMA'

My dearly beloved radical brethren, your sincere
friend, and well wisher, Roger Radical, implores yon
to pay attention to the advice which he is now going
to give you, and to treasure it up in your minds. You
are now in a condition nearly similar to that of the
ptimitive Christians iu the early state of the church ;
when all the potentates of the earth, all the rich, and
tits grandees were their enemies, and cruelly perse-
sated them to death, or to captivity, dungeons, and
tortures of every description. Yet those simple teen,
and sincere believers in the doctrines of Christ, who
possessed not the tithe of your experience, spirit, abi-
lities, and knowledge, merely br their real, concert,
silt' unanimity, triumphed at last over their proud op-
pressors, and planted the triumphant banner of the
cross on the site of the capitol of ancient [tome.
That power which no mortal could resist in the meri-
dian of its glory, sunk at last before the followers of
the fisherman and the tentmaker, before the ragged
radicals of those ancient times, who were actuated by
feel and enthusiasm, and whose only arms were
patience, unanimity, perseverance, and fraternity of
feeling.
Do you then emulate their sobriety, their temper
once, sad their horror of unlawful pleasures ; trea-
sure up in your minds political charity, a teatler sym-
pathy for your brother reformers, and as•ist by every
means in your power, the martyrs and anfferers in
your cause. 'that rause is now the christranity of
polities; it combines us in a common brotherhood of
feeling and sentiment; it separates us front the lux a-
tious, depraved, and opulent portions of the commu-
nity; it nnites us in a common interest to better our
political conditions, and to procute for us that heaven
on earth, which the god of nature has intended to be
one lot. It is not only the passive virtues of temper-
ance, sobriety, and abstemiuusness of curry kind that
I wialt to recommend. hut 1 also beg most earnestly to
suggest to you the cultivation of your noler,tandings.
Which being attended with the above virtues, are pro-
moted and improved to the best effect. 'I emperaner
and sobriety leave the mind in that state, in wltich the
seeds of knowledge and improvement may he sown
with the greatest advan age, an with the well-
grounded expectation of a rich harvest of valuable
and profitable attainments. Instead of sauntering
a.vay your precious ;hoe from ale house to ale.honse,
aid inhaling the pestiferous fumes of %Owe°, yea
,shonid devote your leisure boars 'o intellectual culti-
vation, and pi ()ewe a few hooks of such description
as tends most to the expansion of the mental farultim.
You should provide yourselves with Conbett's
English
Crammer, Euclid's Elements of Geometry, and abridg-
•estents of the Grecian and Roman histories, as well as
site history of your 4.)%% II country. A knowledge of
grammar is indispensable, as the around mirk of fu-
ture intprovemen: ; Euclid wi.l teach yon to rea ton
with closeness and ac urary, and itablin t,e
volt
minds to take in a lane range of diseureive argu-
ment. The histories of Greece and Ko ..e will exhi-
bit to you the wonders performed by the radicals t.f
ancient tutors, and will prove the superior blesitigs of
a f e got erument, nhereln popular eentitwats pos-
sess f 11• left ierce and y. 'ldle ancient histories
will mit* .14 to you the military prowess, the excellence
in earning and science, and the perfection in the fine
arts, which adorned the beet days of Greece and Rome,
es well as the elevation of the mind and character
which the free states of antiquity inspired into theit
citizens The radicals of Athens held up the.r hands,
and decided by a majority on every important %newt el
of peace and war. Toe radicals of Rome assembled
in the Fortun, or in the Field of Mars; t even co-
vered the tops of the horrors, and holding out thelr
h tads, gave away the co tttttt and of armies, and the
v..rnment of distant pr. stice:, to their favou-
r.tr, and most popul tr candid:l4s. 1 also recommend
to you the perusal of the I !ivory of England, because
it exis.hits fro is the first page to the last, the exertion
of a brave and spirited !worn. in favour of their per-

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. Alma 19.
ax PARTS LORD POLRT, 'lll THR MATTER OP IIONTARD
AND DINS', lIANERUPTIL
Mr. HART, on behalf of Lord Foley, applied to his
Honour for an Injunction to restrain Mr. Carroll and
the other Assignees of Messrs. Howard and Gibbs,
from issuing execution on a certain warrant of attor-
ney, given by Lord Foley to the bankrupts; and also
that his Honour might he pleased to direct that an ac-
count should be forthwith taken of all the dealings and
transactions between Lord Foley and the said bankrupts.
The circumstances upon which this application was
made to the Court was detailed in an affidavit made by
his Lordship. by which it was stated that, previously
to the year 1t415, his Lordship, having had various
dealings and transactions with the bankrupts. Messrs.
Howard and Gibbs, gave them his warrant of attorney
to secure the payment of the amount of certain pro-
missory notes, on which the bankrupts had advanced
money to Lord Foley. Since the warrant of attorney
had been given part of the notes had been paid by his
Lordship, and part of them bad not been negotiated ;
various sums of money had also been received by the
bankrupts on account of Lord Foley, for which they
had not given him credit. Lord Foley stated that he
had repeatedly applied to the bankrupts to deliver to
him an account of all transactions h..tween them, but
never could obtain it, and he further stat,s, that upon
the production of that account, he believes, the ba-
lance would be very small, if any thing in their favo'tr.
The VICK CHANCSLLOR.—There is a great deal of
difficulty here in the way •f my granting this injunc-
tion, because Lord Foley lines not say that there is not
any thing tine front him to the bankrupts' estate ; anti
by stain; the execution of this warrant of attorney. I
mac mull end the payment of a

one knows of these matters, it is possible there may be
great errjrs in this acconnt. 1 an► disposed to give
you the injonction on these terms, that you give no-
