$4,000 900 OF inhabitants, imprisonment Tor deo1
has been abolished and we have 1t from nndouo1-
led authority, that il has produced HE most sanitary
effect upon the prosperity Of tina, nation. This o.
dlous system was abolished by III: Napoleon Code ;
yet our imaginatons are haunted with the dreadful
Of its abandonment.
From the remotest period OF antiquity to the pre-
sent day, there never was time when so many IN
Idiyduals were exrrting themselves to promote the
intellectual and moral condition OF man. The good
and the yirtuous throughout christendom are en-
Iploying all their energies and Christians, OF every
denomination, united in the mighty effort. BE
lnevolent societies have been established in every
region of the civilized world. The deaf and the
dumb, the male and the female orphan, the pagan
land the savage are all embraced in these moral
Iertions. Missionaries of our holy religion pen
Ietrating every country. Burmah and Hndostan
are receiving lessons Of Christian morality, and the
worshippers of Juggernaut are learning the knowl-
edge of the true God. Jerusalem is again becom-
ing the field of gospel labor. Divine light begins
to beam Persia, where the sun has long been the
idol of their devotion. The savages OF our own
country are recipients Of the same benevolent ct
iorts and the wilderness of America begins to wear
The aspect OF gadness II is not expected that we,
as government should become members OF these
societies, and make appropriations of money TO car
Try on their designs but while we witness these
interesting scenes, which, on every hand are cal
cuated to rejoice the heart of the phanthropis, it
is our duty, and trust shall find it pleasure,
to remove every obstacle TO the happiness OF the
human race, and TO take from the hand Of tyranny
the rod of oppression
These United States present sublime spectacle
TO the universe, in the annual convocaton of the
people, by their representatives in the Congress oil
The Nation, and in the Assemblies Of the States, to
eglslate both for the present and for future genera
tons. We should give an example to the world
worthy OF our character, that may profit foreign
states and distant ages. Postcrity will revise our
acts, and pronounce upon them an impartial sen
ence OF reprobaon or applause, as their character
shall merit; and venture the prediction, that the
nest generation, in reviewing the transactions Of
this day, will be astonished to learn that this ves,ip
OF barbarism was SO long suffered to remain blot
upon the enlightened age IN which their fathers
lived.
