CREpITs-Wc care but little about our own
productions; since they are gwen to the world
for what they are worth, and are generally
paiG for,according to their intrinsic value; but,
We must protest, ngains. the unceremonIous
use that is made Of our articles, by papers
that are hostile to US, and the editors Of which
take every opportunity to abuse us. !: they
think so very diminutvely Of US as they profess
to do we hope they will not copy any Of our ar
tcle,; but, if they are 80 hard run for matter as
to be compelled 10 resort 10 this mode Of pro-
ccsdure to I'LL their columns, in the name of all
conscience, we shall ask them to give US cred
il. The Boston Literary Gazette, a paper
which processes TO look at us with cold and
scornful indifference, has avniled itself Of our
labours, and yet it has not the magnanimity to
give us the customary credit. Give us our due
say we, or copy not from our columns. The
editor Of the Boston Galaxy, has also availed
himself OF our abors,-and in his last has copi-
cd the whole Of an essay on Religious Fanati-
cism, written by US, and which is descriptive of
the infatuated bigots Of the West, such as the
Jerkers, ,Tumblcrs &c. without giving us credit.
IfoSr writings are worth copying. they are worth
crediting. and all who are Of a contrary opinion
are requested. in the language Of .fddm Smith
to "let us a!one.''

us on the turnpike to Immortality; yet, since
they belong to US, whatever credit may arise
from them, should be placed TO the per contra
Of our account. II they are worthless, Is,

Mn. CLAY's SPEEcU.-The New-YOrk
Statesman, speaking Of Mr.. Clay's address,
delivered at Baltimore, holds the following
language:
"For ourselves. We arc froc 10 confess, that
tho Secretary Of State, the first officer Of the
Cabinet. and one Of tie highest under the
American government, appears TO us out OF
piac CO, and conpromits not only his own digni-
", but that Of the country, whenever he is
found at public meetings, delivering speeches
which are designed to produce popular Of
fott."
We have no vcry especial regard for tho wise
savings Of tho Now-York Statesman, since it
is one Of those papers which do not venture TO
espouse the cause Of either party; and. we no
tice what it has said in this particular instance
merely to opposc ts assumptions. We do not
consider il scout of place " in Mr.. Clay to de-
fend himself Oh all fit and proper occasions,
and if he wero not 10 do it, hc would soon find
that the world would record verdict Of guilty
ag,inst him. No man has been more brutalIy
and Indignantly assailcd than he has, and il
be comes him to make his defence. But ac-
cording to the positions Of the NewYork
Statesman, he should SIT quietly down, and
consent TO be branded with tho charges Of
moral and political corruption! A new doctrine
most tiuly! Mr.. Clay neither compromits his
dignity or that Of the country, by manfully
defending himself. On the contrary, he is
bound in Justice to himself and his country, 10
make his defence, and if he were not to do SO,
we should despse hun, and look upon him as a
coward, unworthy Of tho confidence Of his
friends. and the honors of his country. How
would the editors Of the New-York Statesman, +,
| have the Secretary deu,ean HIMSELF Why ,thoy
would not have him say one word, but remain
silent. and thus give his assent to the alleged
justice Of the accusations Of General Jackson,
! old George Kromor, Samuel ID. Ingham and
company.

SUNDAY Schools Without intending 10
participate in the discussion of the question
which has already begun to agiiate the mind.
Of sectarians, in rotation TO the manner of con
Quoting Sunday Schools, We give place to the
following communication, forwarded 10 US by
an unknown correspondent. As for the utility
Of Sunday Schools. there cannot be any doubt
and, as we have always advocated the cause
Of the Sunday School Institution, and have
been convicted Of it's beneficial and practical
results on the minds Of the rising generation,
we shall continue to advocate it, and sincerely
hope for it's prosperity and success. There is
nothing objcciional in the communication OF
our correspondent, and we therefore copy it
without further remark, and refer it to the rev.
crend clergy for their consideration.
TO THE EDITORS OF THE CADET.
GentIemen,-The writer Of this article
wishes to enquire:
at this time in Providence, not conducted upon
seciarian principles
I'd II there be no such Sunday School,
should there not be one or more such imnied-
lately established?
3d. DO the Free Schools answer all the
purposes for which they wcro intonded, unless
taught on Sundays'
4th Are not many, are not mere thai half
the poor children for whose special benefit
Free Schools have been established, ne cessari-
ly detained ut home, or otherwise prevented
from attending the Free School, during the
working days of the week!
5ih. Is il not natural, is it not reasona Bile,
IS it not religious, in parents Of different relig-
lous persunsions, to prevent their children from
attending the same Sunday School, conducted
upon sectarian prnciplcs'
9th Would not any parent, who is welded
to his own religious views, rather see his child,
for whose temporal and spiritual welfare he
first Of all IS answerabe, live and die in igno
ranc>, or see him going ragged and squslid
through the lanes and alleys, than learned only
in what he conscientiously believes the child's
tea chers themselves should unearn!
have been induced TO place the subject of
Sunday Schools before the public in this sha pc,
from personal observation OF the number Of
children, who do not now attend these Schools
from personal enquiry into the cause from their
parents, from the remarks have heard made
upon Sunday Schools. by the enlightened and
liberal Cf all denominations Of Christians, in
private and public conversation.
No parent who is now willing TO send his
children 10 the Free School, would hesitate to
send them on Sunday for the same purposes,
If he could do it more conveniently. Upon
this view Of the subject, should there no., be
one or more Sunday Schools established in
Providence, upon the Free School system, for
the benefit Of those hundreds of children, who
arc now seen on Sundays in "our lanes and
alleys so ragged and squnlid!"
