Religion is thing much talked OF, but little
understood; much attended to, but little practised.
People are as much deceived themselves as they
deceive others, who think to use religion as they
do their best clothes, only wear them to meeting
on Sunday to appear fine, and make show, and
as they come home, lay them aside carefully,
Tor fear of wearing them out. but that religion is
good for nothing. that is made OF so light stuff,
that it will not endure wearing, which ought to be
constant covering to the soul. the skin is to the
body; not to be divided division being the ruin Of
both; nor must it be thought that religion consists
only in the bending posture of humility, but in the
fervent and humble alteration of the soul; not in the
lifting up the hands and eyes but in the warmth of
the affection. Outward gestures and decent beha-
vour are things very fit and reasonable, being all
that the body can pay but it is inward sincerity a.
lone that can render them both acceptable.
There was a certain widow who had long been
attached to the doctrine of Calvinisni. With her.
lived her only son, whose fortune il was to believe
in the doctrine of Universal Restoration. This
dispeased his dear mother very much She often
replimanded him for his belief, and for reading
those books. which treat upon the doctrine. az
length, it so happened, that the young man came
home late ore evening alter his mother had retired,
but was not asleep. He takes down the New
Testament, and reads the passage, which you will
IND III Romans viii So, SO, at which the old lady
very sternly replied, Jonathan, am very sorry to
find you always reading the Unlyersaiist socks.
Destroy that book aud so to bed, that will des-
troy you, To which Jonathan replied. Mother, is

FOREIGN SPIRITS.

The resolution proposed by NJ. FindIsy,
in the Senate, to institute an inquiry into the
expe diency Of prohibiting the importation of
foreign spirits, is Of great importance to the
financial and agricultural concerns Of the
country. The contemplated prohibition, we
apPrehcod, can only be effected by large i'm
por, duties, in which case, it is not to be do.
nied, = considerable deficiency would arise on
the reveaue now collected % foreign liqaors.
But this can form no objection to the meas.

made up by o tax on domestic spirits, which,
We have the best reasons for believing, would

SOUTH AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE.

SOUTH AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE
From the interesting documents submitted
TO Congress by the Presldent il appears that
tho period has at length arrived, when the
indepe ndenee OF the Spanish American gov.
ernments msy bo safely recognized by those
United States. This event which has 80 long
been srdeptly desired by the great majority OF
our ciIizens, and which he's ouiy been delay.
cd by tina, prsdent policy, which ought a.
ways 20 direct our foreign rclstiops, will be
hailed with Joy as the hsrbingsr Of good lid
ings to the cause OF liberty and independence
throughout ibelworid- Though we have no,
yet been able TO feel great confidence in the
capacity of South Americans for the enjoy
mcnt OF freedom, still we ore disposed TO hope
tha, with the example of the United States as
guide, with their habits Of in,erconrse with
our c,tizens, and as q Necessary consequence
their adoption OF many of our noHons. they
may be enabled 10 pursue such course, 10
shall induce Us 10 take them heartily by tho
hand and joyfuliy acknowledge them as broth
or republicans.
Tho policy which has been pursued by our
government in relation 70 this subject has
been wise and prudent, and We arc disposed
to think highly ben. 6cial to South Ame' ican
independence. Had our governmsnt psema.
turely in,crfered by an ea ier recognition Of
this Independence, IL probably would have ex.
cited the jealousy Of the European powers,
and might have induced them 10 have taken
sides with old Spain, against what they would
then have called rebellion and resistance 10
legitimate authority. We had besides diff
fe' ences Of our own with Spain, the final SET,
Element Of which different policy ffom that
pu, sued nigh, have prevented. We believe
that the universal sentiment IN this portion of
the Union Is, that the policy pursued by the
general government upon this subject has
been wise one. In one thing ell will egree,
that in the finsfrecognion OF South Ameri-
can inde epsndence every friend of equal rights
must 'ejoicc and es' aeslly bope, that it may
be succeeded by the permanent establishment
Of goyefnment, Of equa! laws, founded upon
correct principles OF civil and religious lib
esly. ~:0i--
