selves of every advantage, which the various
improvements in Europe and America have
conferred upon the science of education.
A Gentleman of liberal education and expert
ence in the art of teaching, has recently taken
the charge of the classes in Arithmetic, Natural
Philosophy, Chemistry, and Astronomy. This
acquisition, with suitable apparatus for exhibit
ing experiments, and familiar lectures, which
will be given on each branch, complete the adj
vantages enjoyed within the limits Of this InSti-
tuition. B. HallowelPs course of lectures are
also attended through the winter season.
The vigilant care and paternal watchlulness
ever attendant upon the pupils, command oppor-
tunities for intoxicating lessons on numerous
points of morals and manners, which can only
be secured by that maternal interest which wins
the regard and confidence Of the pupils.

cause of the failure of many such undertakings
heretofore. 1t is only deemed necessary to ask
the public to discard al opinion, which, predl-
Gated on no proper grounds, is still the great
and almost only reason of the depressed state OF

is no part Of our country which is not overflow

*The Act of February, 1888, extends to Roman
Catholic citizens, all the Rights and Privileges of
the Protestant citizens of this State, as declared
by the act of the first of March, 1861, /" any ex-
ccptions in the said act to the contrary notwith-
standing" (Sce the last paragraph of this note) }
The clause of exclusion in this act" Roman Cath
olics only excepted'-was evidently added to the
act of 1864, long afterward, sometime between the
years l1l9 and 1870. 1t is not to be found in the
records of the State far down the year l719;
when the first (impcrfcc) edition Of the Laws was
published. In the second edition, of 1870, it APP
pears for the first time. The Legislature therefore,
when they spoke of this clause as part of the act
Of 1861, must be understood TO have considered
it as an addition or amendment. The present Char
ter was granted in July 1868; and it is altogether
incredible that Roger Williams and his associates,
then members of the Legislature, should have con-
sented four months after the reception of the Char
ter, to an enactment directly contrary both to the
letter and spirit of of its most essential provis
ions; for the establishment Of which they had used
such strenuous exertons. There is extant in work
Of Roger Williams, printed in 1862, full recogn-
ton of the religious rights of Papsts. 1fany doubt
remained upon this question, it would be removed
by the declaration of the Assembly in May, 1865,
in answer TO the Kings Commissioners, That equal
ity of civil and religious rights had been "a prn-
cipe set forth and maintained in this colony, from
the rery beginning thereof"
subsequently inserting this clause of exclusion in
the Act Of 1864 (and it seems probable that IL
was done to prove the loyalty of the Colony, in the
contest between the Government and the Pretendcr
to the throne of England,) it was suffered to re-
main in three editions Of our Statute-Book, as n
part of the law of the hand, for more than fifty
years; and AS far can learn, unquesiioned
as such, by any one. So fragrant violation Of
the Charter proves conclusvely, that the Legsh-
ture then, AZ they did aherward, and do at pres
cnt, considered and treated that instrument as il
il were entirely subject to their control; and that
they claimed and exercised an underlined power
similar to that of the English Parliament.
Ii ought to be added here, that what is called in
the Act to remove disabilities from Roman Catho-
lcs the Act Of the first Of March, 1868, is, in fact,
the Act Of the first Of March 1864. The commence
ment of the ci, and legal wear, it will be recocct-
ed, was ancicnty the 25th Of March and was
not altered to the ls of January, in the British do
till the year l75l, by Act Of Parliament.
The Charter was granted, in the fifteenth year Of
Charles H., (l663) The Act OF 1868 above men,
toned is stated in the margin Of the printed copy
to be Of the 1rteenth wear Of Charles H. which Of
course was 1864. An laws passed before the 2Sth
OF March would be dated as Of the year preceding.
