SPEECH
Eentlemen Ofthe Senate. and

CentleBter Of the Senate. and
Gentlemen Of the House Of Representatives,
THE return of the election season brings
with it little of novelty, but much to engage
and interest us. Past events, and long
catalogue of Patriots and Statesmen, with
the recollection of whom the transactions
of the season are associated, recur 10 the
mind and enter deeply into the meditation
OF the occasion.
History, ti@- sss4sz.sas~*s~~->ss;sy-
character of man, exhibits TO Us not oas
the perpetual conflict of reason and the pas-
sions, of striking alterations of rectisude
and error, and the commanding powers and
extreme imbecility of the human mind, but
the formation of governments, their pro-
gressive changes and ultimate catastrophe.
But without extending our view over the
general history of men or of governments,
tic memorials of the migrauon and settle
tnent, the character and manners, the po-
lilical and religious principle, and the lite
rary institutions of our forefathers the
rise, progress and termination of the mo-
mentous question between &. Britain and
her colonies, now the United States OF A.
merica, respecting the right OF Parliamen-
tary Taxation the origin, structure and
establishment ofour systems of jurispru-
dence, and their influence upon individual
and social happiness, open various and pro-
life sources of instruction to the Legislator,
and Of proud satisfaction to the American
Patriot.
You are called upon, Gentlemen, TO ex-
ercise the functions of legislation at time
highly propitioas for impartial inquiry into
the great interests of the Commonwealth.
For long succession of years such was the
extraordinary state of mos; Of the nations
Of Europe with which our interests are in.
volyed, that the minds of your predecessors
have been occupied with painful apprehen-
sions of the public safety or with the ardu-
aus da,ies of providing warlike means for.
public defence. During that eventful peri
cd, the ordinary avocations OF many OF cur
fellow citizens were interrupted. Naviga
ton, Commerce, Manufactures, and even
Agriculture, assumed or were forced into
preternatural state. Vast numbers OF the
people were compelled to abandon the pur-
SQilS "AtIu tid0 SShINkS1t RA0HA~
dentiai allotments had facilitated, and habit
had rendered familiar and lucrative, and re.
sort was had in too many instances to des>-
perate projects Of speculation and adyen-
tnre, equally eluding calculation, ruinous tc
individuals and yitiating to public morals.
But the public mind being now relieved
from its discuie,ing solici,ude by the the
internal tranquility of the state, the elevated
character of our republican systems of
Government, the respectable condition Of
public credit. resting onits primitive princi-
pies Of fiscal administration, and the exist
ing relations of amity between the United
States and the other commercial ns,ions of
the world; you are happily indulged with the
opportunity Of turning your attention spe,
cislly to The interior concerns OF the Com
monweallh. And coming as you 10 from
every sec'icn Of the state, you bring With

n prodigy Of moral blindness and insensa6itity.-
When the suicice Of General Berther was rela
ted TO Bonaparte by oneNof his ministers, he ex-
claimed, /" See the power Of conscience BerthIer
left France with his family, and all his fortune !;
but be had betrayed me, and be could not survive
it--whie have never for one night been deprived
of sleep - How strange soever il may SEEM there
is no evidence that Bonaparte was ever for mo-
ment dissatisfied, in moral point of view, with
his own conduct. Though he had shed, and caused
to be she'd the blood Of SO many thousands and
hundreds Of thousands, and although ne had COM
mitted individual murder of most atrocious kind,
as Of Pichegrue, D'Enghien, Palm, and Others /;
vet he seems 10 have had !" no compunctions visit
ings Of nature" On the contrary, by all accounts,
he contemplated the desolations he has made in the
earth, with self applause, rather than with self
reproach As ones moual blindness is generally
in the ratio Of ones selshness ofcourse the most
selfish are the blindest. And never did or could a
son Of fallen Adam manifest greater share OF
clear unmixed selfshness than has Napoleon Bon
aparte in the whole course of his public life. The
wo-ld NAV be challenged to produce single deed
Of his. that has even the smallest appearance oi
disinterested regard TO his fellow beings.

n aeerr;qag TO Sabbath. breaEers=-A short time
since, three brothers residing in the state OF New
Hampshire, went to view tract OF land, on the
Sabbath and took gun with them, for the purpose
Of shooting any game they might happen to find
on their way. The gun had been once discharged,
and was again loaded--as they were standing
together, unconscious Of danger, it suddenly dis
charged, and lodged its contents in the body Of the
eldest brother.-He lived long enough to clear his
brothers from all blame, and most solemnly TO
warn them, Of the awful consequences of violating
The sabbath and then died, leaving wife and
one child. The brother ia whose hands the gun
was, manifested great reluctance in engaging in
this sabbath-days excursion, but yielded at last to
the earnest solicitations Of the deceased.

There is no evil, however desperate,--no
prosiration ofpublic morals, however wide
ly spread, but may he reformed and restor-
cd by individual exertions. Ii is in every
mans power to reform one OF the body pol.
tic, and to exbort and encourage his neigh
Dor TO the same endeavor. Each individual
may, as did the valient and pious Israelites
under Nehemiah, build over against his oFva
house. Had they idly looked on the vast
and terrific destruction of Jerusalem, how
ever loud and long and sincere their wall
ings, the walls had never been rebuilt, nor
had the city recovered her strength and glo
ry- They did not stop to look at the great
ness of the undertaking they only con-
sidered that there was work 10 be done and
each one, with his weapon athis side, eter-
ed with alacrity and vigor on his assigned
portion. They were assailed from without,
as all reformers mus be, by foes open and
covert but persevering in alternate con-
test and toll, they at last achieved the great
object of their labors and prayers. Jerusa-
lem again lifted her head in majestic and
resplendent beauty
This piece of history is recorded for our
example and direction. We must expect
opposition in all our attempts 10 correct
vice, Our own evil passions and habits, or
those of others, will always be against US.
Like the Jews of old, We must both fight
md work. Like them we must look 10
God for support, and like them we shall
sarely be supported and our efforts in every
good cause be finally crowned with sue
