We doubt whether any person, who heard
Mr. Stewart, would advocate the excel
lence of the savage state, while he retain

marks of Mr.. Stewart cannot be condeE.-

want Of skill in adapting their discourses
to the time and the occasion, or want Of
respectful and profound attention on the
part OF the audience.
