nd i"p exampIes 10 illustrate the usefulness
de "o .;snce of. Antiquities. That poin: is
dins s 's to be sufficiently manifest. A few
pr''s.t;ons, on the pleasure which the study
sesl,;suties affords the mind, will close the
ssrs. .0b;ects with which this science is con-
I'M are such as the human mind delights
fsf'a1,.mnlate. What can be more interesting
ps ss mind of man, than to contemplate the o.
p!N his race! What more delightful than
rsn s.s,ve the native genius of primitive man,
u.s. .:nc IFS first rude efforts to overcome the
da's .ao;ences of his situation, TO subdue the
n:0D .,orv elements and to remedy the imper-

Church ofGod. :.
'1 Tbs contemplation ofsuch subjects cannot
~ ell the mind with the mos, pleasing and
fined emotions.
N D., besides the delightful entertainment which
=, ;,t.resting nature of these subjects affords,
~ mind is sensible Of another peculiar pleas
- in prosecuting antique researches. The
md Of time, while it wastes, hallows whatever
:, touches. Antiquity filings an inexpressible
harm. soft and solemn grace, over every OBJ
-, with which it is connected. The contem-
sss,ion Of those objects, which time has thus
s,Iowed, fills the soul with delightful emotions.
An Is enchantment. Imagination throws its
-, anil vivid colouring around, and encircles
s s object with a halo Of glorious spleadour.
Immersed In antique inquiries, and surroun-
d,d BY the relics of former times, the antigua
ian imagines himself transported back to for
nsr ages, and while he views every thing thro'
Ne beautiful and enchanting medium of fancy,
ii is great, durable, and commanding in
ncent history is presented before him, in the
most beautiful and engaging form. The wis
dom, the bravery, the genius of the illustrious
dead, crowd, upon his memory, and fill his soul
with rayishing delight.
Should the student Of antiquities chance to
read on classic ground-on those spots conse-
.rated by illuslrious achievements of genius &
oams, with what emotions Of delight and ad-
miralion must his bosom swell while his eye
surveys the places where Thucidydes and Keno
phon and Tacitus wrote-&here Pericles, De-
nOsthenes, and fully spoke-where Socrates,
Aristotle and Plato taugh,-where Homer, l.
sahh and Virgil sung-and where Leonidas,
Miliades, and Epaminondas fought!
The science of Antiquities is, therefore, both
Useful and interesting.

The following remarks, by the Editor OF the
Missouri Inteligencer, are intrinsically good;
but their coming from the Benton party makes
them better, and shows that, although Colonel
Benton may have many friends in Missouri, he
cannot enroll them at pleasure in the ranks of
the Opposition.
"The friends of Jackson should not find fault
with the administration of Adams The peo-
pie of the West are ever experiencing the IL
beral policy of his administration. The same
general course now pursued has been pursued
for twenty-four years. No change has been IN
troduced by Mr.. A. He promised, and has
KEEP, it, when he assembled the presidential char,
that the leading policy of his predecessor would
be his. We were all universally satisfied with
Mr.. Monroe's administration; the same Is yet
continued; why then so much noise ana CONNECT
among the politicians of our country! why so
much party pickering and political war! why
at this early period do we hear so much from
some politicians about their fears OF political
corruption in future, when no evidence OF any
such thing has ever taken place?-We lear that
these forebodings arise more from disappointed
ambition than from real belief of danger
We cannot but believe that much of the excite
ment now abroad in our happy government, and
that many of these forebodings are generated
by the disappointment of some demagogical
aspirants, who look more to their own eleva-
ton than to the good Of the people. A rancor-

NEW BRUNSWICK.

u 'hSANo" IN.
The Council aud House Of Assembly Of the
province Of New.Brunswitk, have agreed to a
Joint address to the king, complaining bitterly
Of the attempts made by the governments Of
Massachusetts andMiaine, to disturb the posses
sion OF his majesty, and the jurisdiction Of the
province in the tract of country on the st. John,
and Madawaska rivers
The address represents that the inhabitants
o. the tract Of territory in question are mostly
FrenchAcadians and their descendants, the first
Of whom removed there from the lower parts Of
the country soon after the treaty Of 1888, in the
full faith that they were planting themselves on
British territory; that militia companies were
organized there under the Government OF the
Province as early as 1886; that the process of
the Courts of the Province has uniformly run
there; that the inhabitants have voted in the E.
l~ectioEs Of the Province; and that the ~Jurlsdic-
ton of the Province has been in all respects eX-
ercised over the territory without any distur-
bance, up to the period Of the treaty of Client
in 1914, and till the encroachments by agents
of Maine and Massachusetts, afterwards speci-
fed, in 1920, 1921, and 1925. This tract Of
territory is included in the claim made by both
Governments before the Commission appointed
under the Client Treaty to determine the boun-
Diary; and the address represents that il the Bri-
fish claim is confirmed, the territory i'll ques-
lion does not dc jure form a part of Maine, and
de facfo il is not and never has been in the pos
session or under the jurisdiction OF Maine or
Massachusetts
The Legislature in their address maintain,
that the possession and actual exercise Of urls
diction, which existed at the time of making
the treaty Of Client, the instrument which pro-
vides for a decision of any conflicting claims
between the two nations in that quarter, should
have remained sacred and inviolale until that
decision was made, They say that the govern
mcnt Of the province has done no more than to
exercise the ordinary powers of sovereignty and
Jurisdiction, TO which it succeeded on the first
erection. of the province in 1884. In the exer-
else of these powers, the licenses to cut pine
timber, so much complained of by Maine and
Massachusetts, had been granted; but on COM
plaint being made of the granting OF these IL
censes, the British government, from a spirit OF
Cancellation, had directd the government OF the
nrovince to abstain from the granting OF ilcen-
ses to cut timber on the territory claimed BY

INFLUENZA OF OLDEN TIME.
Mr.. Russell-Thc following is true extract
from the records of the First Church in Rox-
bury. If it will throw any light on the nature,
cure, or history, of the prevailing epidemical
cold or influenza, or be in any way instructive
or amusing to your readers, it is at your service.
"l647." CAT the time appointed the Synod
assembled. But at that time the hand of the
Lord was very strong among US, by sickness; 1t
being an extreme hot time by thunder weather
and unwholesome. At the beginning of which
weather, we had a great thunder storm in the
night, which, at Dorchester, slew three oxen IN
the field, without any remarkable sign what it
was that killed them"
"From that time forward a great sickness
epidemical did the Lord lay upon US, SO that the
greatest part Of a town was SICK at once, whole

ing English or Indian The manner OF the SICK.

time of visitation, blessed MIS-. winthrop the
Governors wife died.

means of grace, peace, and liberty Of ordinan-
ces, SC. yet may we then fall INFO malignant

"This visitation of God was exceeding
strange. it was suddained and general, as il
the Lord had Immediately sent forth an angel,
not with a sword to kill, but with a rod to chas-

1t was yesterday conceded by all, that the
question, on the proposed amendments TO the
Constitution, would be taken that evening; but
Mr.. Mc'DuHie's speech has given a new turn to
the debate, and will probably procrastinate it
for another week. Such were his bold and
pointed charges of corruption against Mr..
Adams, Mr.. Clay, and several gentlemen Of the
House, that a reply to him seems to be deemed
Indispensable necessary.
