The following extract from La Marines in

reflections Of a philosopher. 1t introduces a the
DRY which is confirmed by the authors expert
encc and is well worthy the attention of the
reader.
The more | have travelled, the more Z am
convinced that races Of men form tn great
secret Of history and manners. Man is not SO
capable OF education as philosophers imagine
The influence of government and laws has less
power, radically, than is supposed, over the man
ners and instincts of any people, while tho prl-
mitive constitution and blood of the race have
always their influence, and manifest themselves
thousands of years afterw ards, in the physical
formations aud moral habits OF q particular fami-
ly or tribe. Human nature flows in rivers into
the vas, ocean of humanity, but its waters min
Gle but slowly, sometimes mover and il emer-
ges again, like the Rhine from the lake Of Ge-
neya, with IFS W taste and color. Here is in
deed an abyss of thought and meditation, and at
the same time a great secret for legislators
As long as they keep the spirit of race in view,
they succeed but they fail when they strive a

ger than they are. This sentiment is not that
Of the philosophers of the present time, but il 5

A FAMILY OF REVOLUTIONARY HERoEs.-Ihe
following gentlemen, all four brothers, received
pensions last year, and all dined together, at the
house Of Mr.. II. De Forest, in Norwich, Chenan-
90 county New York, on the first day of this
month. They are all highly respectable and
worthy men, and have served their country with
fidelity and honor more than half a century
were all born in Stratford, Connecticut, and had
not beet together before in more than fifty years,
viz;
Samuel De Forest, aged seventy seven, SER
we'd two years and six months, now lives at
Batestown. Saratoga county, New York.
Abel De Forest, aged seventy four } ears, ser
we'd three years and three months, lives at Ed
meston, Otsego county, New York.

we'd three years and seven months, lives at Liv-
iLgston, Essex county, New York.
Gideon De Forest, aged seventy years, ser
we'd two years and two months, lives at Edmes-
ton, Otsego county, New York.
We doubt very much whether the history oil
our revolutionary struggle will furnish a case 81
