Such nateriaIs-augmentin with the rapidity they have in our cOuntry, drstitute Of the know ledge Ofany useful occupation, and gov grned only by the 6erce impulses Of their ig- n0rance. and vicious habits and pvOpensities twill breed mOral restilence in the heart Of Our society, and win riot like cankerwOrm on the yet pnre and unad0lterated principles and manners of our community for strong as will be the e>npppsing tide Ofvirtue that pre- sents itself against the evil, it will nOt be sui iicient t0 dilute and neMtrNIize the deleterious Ingredients brought into cOnlatrt with it, This, in prospective.
