We have, in ,his days Argus, conclud-
ed the publication of the Laws passed al,
the las, Session of Congress.
II is q curious kind of REASONING. thai,
we ate TO profit by experience, and not
Improve by ii. According 10 the doctrine
Of the present dag, mankind have adyan
ced as Far as is possible. They caanot
hope to form new theories, or h, employ
new max'ms of government. No new
Associations are 20 eXis,, and no new com.
b.naiions, or institutions, are TO be con-
templa,ed. The worst stale OF human
nature and of government, is TO be consi-
dered as the mos, natural, and as itnpcs-
cd by necessity. The work of rerurma-
tion Is TO longer 10 be considered bat as
prcject of ambition ending in misery.
But they who publish the tlepravi,y OF
mankind as the worst, are not wi,hou,
some hopes, aud they who know the worst
part of human nature are not the less di-
lgent i'll educating the world for their
purposes. Societies have ali the chang.
es OF the human constitution. Sometime
may be allowed To youth which is not to
be found in old age. Let then the world
be encouraged at least 10 enjoy this diT.
ference. Lei us not grow old at once.
If we must become old, let us check th,;
debility by the best use Of our powers.
Experience has promised much TO youth
and vigor. Republics have been in the
world, and they have been The nurse of
genius and OF the arts, and of every thing
great. The Athenians did no. conclude.
against their own institutions because
Persia had king-Nor did Samuel absn.
don the Institutes of his country, because
The ua,ioa had had bad councillors.
