And mountain birds carol their ioyecst song.

Adeu 10 the sons who from heroes descended.

Though lifes stormy ocean shall threaten with dan

NV soul shall repose in the sunshine of truth
While streams to their native are tending,
And forest oaks swept BY he tempest, are bending
My soul shall exult while shes proudly def ndng
The graves OF my sires and the land af my bifin.

A CRITICIZE


Upon Mr.. Hays Speech, deliueredin the

ton for repeating all eristing iars for

Mr.. Hay proceeds 10 examine and de-
ny the policy of the laws for the PREVENT
on of Usury, by two of the most power
lui modes of reasoning; the one drawn
from experience-the other from the rea-
son and nature of things. In reasoning
from experience, Mr.. II. has furnished
himself with many important and in
structive facts, demonstrating at thesa
time his attentive reading, and the truth
OF the proposition commended for. 1t
would be impossible 10 do justice TO this
part of the argument, without inserting
IT entire and il is believed that no re-
fiecting man will regret the opportunity
afforded Of giving it a second reading:
" But, Sir, whatever may have been the O.
rigin the system prescribing general rule
in contracts for iuterest-a rate beyond which
lenders could not go, the limitation itself is
Intellectual, and injurious. | say, Sir, that the
laws of all countries against usury have been
both Intellectual and injurious intellectual, be-
cause the supposed evil still continued; inju-
rious, because this evil was increased in pro-
portion TO the severity with which twas pur-
sued. The facts which | am about to state
will illustrate both parts OF the proposition.
"The authority 20 which shall FIRST refer is
