"Come, let us reason together"
 Mr. Editor---Nly attention was recently fixed im- moveably, my curiosity much excited, and my sment raised to the highest pitch, by dialogue ut tered by personages of curious form and appear ance. They appeared be kindred spirits that had recently come to this little word---and in passing from one country to another, they at length to the only country where Gods great, first example of inc dependence and happiness exists. Their astonish- ment and wonder and admiration appeared to be e. quay excited when they surveyed this extensive try, and contemplated its future greatness. When they the industry of the people, and viewed the energy of character which they derive from their hea ven-born institutions, and the mighty results of inter- nal improvement, of domestic manufacturers and, a. bove aIl the moral efforts that making they ap peared absolutely lost in asonishment that gave them the expression of entire satisfaction and happiness. But it was but before one, in voice of the most bitter iamentaton cries out to his fellow,
 T. My dear brother, how true it is of men, that in prosperity they forget their duty themselves, their country and their God! Behold this fair and this com paratively happy land, which God has blessed above all others, is infested by trio of robbers and murder CTS. And alas single individual of the three actu ally destroys annually than thirty thousand per- in the prime of life, and brings disgrace and m sery than million relatives and costs this fair and delightful country more than one hundred and twenty million of dollars annually; which is sum more than five times large as it's whole annual revenue And with these facts there is another con- nected that beggars all description, viz that coun- try of intelligent beings, who possess the light of the sciences and of the Gospel should look calmly on this amount of ruin and misery and death, and that eternal too and not come forth in their strength and save their garments from the imputation of blood.
 w. know indeed, my dear brother, that the facts you have stated true, and astonishing beyond de- scription, and I could weep an eternity away over such desolation and ruin. But why is it that coun try of such energetic men, who possess so much wis. dom and prudence, and who are so peculiarly iena- cious of their rights, and who have again and again driven their enemies from their land, and have said "hithertO shalt thou come, and farther;" and yeG have suffered this single individual to destroy some of the fairest portions of their county2 Nay, not only suffered, but have actually cOuntenanced and in ten thousand instances aided and assisted in his depreda- | tiOns7
