RELIGION TIE BASIS OF LIBERTY.

HELIGAON THE BASAS OF L1BEHEYsN
 No sentiment ever uttered is more trus than that the prosperity of our country is interwoven with the prosperity of the Christian Religion. The moral prinei- pies contained in the scriptures, form tho basis of all our laws and all that is excel- lent in the laws of every civilized country under heaven. a4sa Yas
 al Let our jurisprudence be divested of this feaiures and society is reduced to its origi, nal elements of barbarism. The right of the strongest man must prevail despot must rule our country; our women bee come slaves and our property tho prey of robbers and assassins. What were Rome and Sparta, those models of heaihen excel- of revealed religion? In one, debauchery was taught by the sages in the other, the children were instructed in thieving by their patriotic mothers, and punished for betraying their praiseworthy depredations. China at present exhibits the fairest model for tho contemplation of the enemies of Christianity. of a government and laws di- vested of the pure influences of revealed religion. Here despotisp,. superstition and the grossest idolatry are interwoyen with their civil code. The emperor keeps a numerous and well appointed Seraglio3 and polygamy is allowed to the grande0a and tMandarins. In the highest orders of society, their females are kept in 2 sort of slavery, and the Chinese peasant yokss his wife and his ass othe plough. s.ls,j To ths religion of the bible then, are we indebted for our dearest social and domes- I tic enjoyments; and for every excellence which characterizes tue institutions of civ.
 ilized countries.a He must therefore be the
 worst enemy of his kind who attempts to
 sap the foundations of religion; and 10 subs sttute for its influence the nnrestraiped passions of ntcI. It is to the toleFation taught by tho Christian religion that the inEael is indebted for the liberty which he possesses of sssailing her. She is ihs Gen. jus of Liberty which he SO ostentatiopsly prolesses to worship, while he so naadly ihrusts dsggerat her sitals. To h6r fol- lowers wbo iU the hour of danger woald repel force will, force, she cnjhmaBds pue thy sword in thy sheafiie.' To the mis- enided tigot who would call fire from heay, eii to consume those who follow, not with US, she meekly replies, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye ara of .s3t5 NY: Wsstiy Mssssnssv.
