EHE VyRGf.Ni.l.N SUCCESSION.

The Constitution of the American Repub-
lick has been in operation about twenty eight
years. During this period Massachusetts, has
furnished President for one term and Virgin
ia for six terms or twenty -four years. Besides
this, Mr.. Jefferson has been Vice President !;
and Messrs Jefferson, Madison and Munroe,
have filled the office OF Secretary OF State for
space OF twelve or fourteen years The
latter gentleman, it seems, is now to be pa-
ced in the executive chair Ii the people
concur with the Nadisonian ljuntoin Congress,
and support the nomination OF this party, it
aust be either that they are slaves t2 their own
passions or that they are the wilii9 dupes OF
the great men al the seat OF government. This
system Of favourtis,n is repugnant 10 he prn-
ciples Of a free government and il may pro-
duce spirit OF riyalship between the different
states, which would be dangerous 10 their lib
critics. II cannot be imagined there are not
persons in almost every state: who are as well
qualified to execute the duties OF president
as the Virginian statesmen. II each state
were entitled to the privilege Of giving a Pre-
sident in rotation Tor period in proportion to
the number OF members 10 Congress, more
than / 80 years would elapse before Virginia
could again direct the destinies of the nation.
The history OF the Grecian states ought to be
warning to US. They were overthrow by
their competition for supremacy. The same
cause which generated this spirit of rivalry
among them, still exists ; aud " i'll undoubted-
y now produce the SAME effects. Pride and
ambition still are predominant passions in ma
lions as well as Individuals. When directed
in proper channel, and tostered and cherish
ed in proper manner, they are made sub
servient TO pubiiek good. But when inhamed
and irritated, they break over the bounds al
lotted to them, and become destructive to pfi-
sate happiness and to the safety Of the coun-
try.
/. has been observed that our liberties de-
pend on the purity of our elections. II is
immaterial by what means these are peryer-
ted; whether by the strong arm oil power, by
ripery and corruption, or in any manner
whatever ruin will sooner or later inevitably
follow. Let our ie.iow citizens beware.

OUR FOREFATHERS.

Il is the fashion of the times to ridicule the
scrupulous preciseness OF our religious FORE
fathers. Their claim to reputation for piety
has been generally allowed to be just /; but it
has been as generally supposed that their pie
~ was mistaken, and their zeal irregular and
without knowledge. While particular traits
OF their character are held up to derision, we
DO not entertain that respect for them, which
their real excellencies merit. can never de-
spise men, of such fortitude and perseverance
as they were, and such lovers of civil and reli-
gious liberty. Their conduct discovers an at
'achment to principles, which only minds of
great strength and nobleness can feel. From
them is derived whatever liberty we enjoy.
They fled from their native country to escape
civil and religious Intolerance. Their fathers
even under the despotism of British monarchs
ielt the spirit OF liberty, and they always con-
tended for greater immunities than they then
possessed. They bore with spirit the domi-
neering spirit Of Elizabeth, aud heard with
u'sgi'st The arrogant pretensions of James to
o'0ne right to the crown nor did they readi
" submit to the imperious spirit of the coun-
sellers OF Charles. The puritans were our
Nessois. IN Tue parliament oil EiizaDetn,
they were the first, that discovered an ardent
desire to enjoy true liberty. The puritan
hen'corals particularly were the daring as
sef'ors Of the rights of the people,--and they
'earlessiy resisted the encroachments of Eli
zabeth on the privileges OF Englishmen Hume
asserts, that Englishmen owe 10 the puritans
dn the freedom of their constitution. The
CHRISTIAN religion wherever it has been taught,
has ameliorated the condition Of the middle
ana lower orders OF society. Its reception,
IN It's tue spirit has been invariably followed
oy the enjoyment of greater civil libelties.--
!, As liberty opens the way for the christian re-
,,lS'on, SO religion confirms and establishes
npef'y 1t makes US better acquainted with
INDIVIDUAL rights. Ii shews the poor the du-
aes they owe the rich, and it teaches the rich,
not 70 despise and trample upon the poor II
we look TO those countries were religion has
nourished, we may see that these remarks are
"unded on facts. England, Scotland, .Hol-
'@hd sweden, and part of lower Germany are
countries where the bible is Freely read and
"neFe religious institutions are well observed I;

Iand The are the OILY free countries of Eu-
rop. Spain, France, Italy, Austria, are IN
Led called christian, and profess themselves
such, but with scarcely better claims to the
lite, than even the followers of Mahomet ;
and these countries know not what liberty is.
aei,gion since the birth Of Christ has been and
always will be the torerunner of civilization
and liberty. The sentiments of our fref,tb.
ers on religion and church government are Inc
oest security OF our civil aul religious rights.
he model on which churches are formed is
incompatible with monarchy. Switzerland
ana Holland alone formed their churches on
tle plan on which ours stand, and these were
tile cny great republics of Europe The
freedom we ENJOY M religion We cannot viell
IN civil life. Our unbounied icense of saecu-
iation IN matters OF religion sill be n..ulged on
everyother subject. Let dion tastetle sweets
OF religious liberty aud they viii long 10 enjoy
the pleasures Of political liberty Our best
laws and our best institutions originated in
the Plety, the religion, OF our ancestors Ii
was by sense of religion that they were in
duced to make such excellent provisions FOR the
general instruction of tue young in human SCI
ence, and for all ages in religion. Ii WAS from
regard TO the scriptures that ;hey enacted such
wise and wholesome laws. The noble uni
versIty OF Harvard sprung fro. their piety, and
was by them dedicated TO Chris, and the
Church -Chrislo ct ecclesiae.--Our snces-
tors might have failings--what mortal has not
Even the sun has its dark spots. But none
but they, who seek to spy out its blemishes,
discern them. Could the present generation
initiate their fathers, in their virtues, even if
they avoided not their errours, we should see
less to lament and more to rejoice in. What we
have gained in refinement of manners and
feelings, we have lost in the social virtues.
