part towards the preservation OF GO

enjoyment of these blessings can Sc
curely rest. He who delivers nation
from tbraldom, forms, in my opinion
ahe nobIest comment on the great law
of love, whilst he distributes the great

from man. But mex, to that is the merit
Of him who ia times like the present,
