The Coar Reya,e has redeemed the character of
the French tribunals from the stain which it received
IN the sentence condemniny the Courier Franeais
for stating that "the immortal Pictures of the Last
Supper, the TRANSPORTATION, and the Communion of
Saint Jerome. will still remain chef drurre even
when religious creeds shall be completely abolished
ii tho duration of their fraN materials should reach
to such period The court, which has somewhat
sounder notions OF the limits of free discussion than
mr. OConnel, declares, "Considcrny that the opin
ion delivered publicly on religious creed and which
constitutes want of iahh in tina; creed NAV appear
misfortune in the eyes Of those who have faith bu
only be cupable when degener ates into niurv
and outrage, either to that creed or to those who
profess It," The court then declares that in the ex
pressions Of M. Chateain, there is such injurious
expressions
What a contrast between the logical clcarncss of
the French tribunal, and the muddle headed ca.t
about Christianity being part and parcel of the law of
England, by which the Judges Of the Coust of Kings
Bench have SO often disgraccd the country. There

moral government of individuals. Our vices only

Wherever n
faculty is given, that faculty may be abused. man
who can read may read noxious books. The priv-
lcge of publishing without restraint may be used to
the dissemination of erroneous doctrines, and false
views. Whoever possesses the means, may indulge
90 excess in the pleasures of the table. The rich
man may drown his senses in wine, and the poor man
in gin. The wise will be moderate in their enioy-
ments, and the imprudent immoderate. We know
Of means by which excess can be guarded against
except the dispositions Of individuals, which it i,
the business OF Instruction and not laws to improve.
OF this, however, we are certain, that men are
entitled TO erect themselves into Judges of what in
dulgenccs ought to be allowed to others. We pro-
test therefore, against all reformatons effected by
magisteriai interference Who shall draw the line
Of distinction between what is beneficial and what ia
hurtfuP And why should difficulties be thrown in
the way Of those who wish ardent spirits, because
may avail themselves Of the facilities TO drink
to intoxicaton' The rubicund compilations of half
the people in easy circumstances you meet in the
streets, proof of their drinking well as cat
gin than is strictly necessary for their health;
hut they would resent all attempt to regulate their
indugenccs according to any standard fixed by others
The poor people entitled to the same lborty as
the rich. When they violate the laws, punish them;
bot do not punish them by sumptuary laws.
