of whom have neither time nor INCLINATION to in
vestigate the truth Of this-being engaged in
hunting proof TO show that they were right in
making the prediction
Uutil the inventive powers of the human mind
shall contrive some way by which every asprunt

may be expected. Union and education, rem

feeling; response TO sentiments and sameness to
action. Education gave the right direction to
the combined energies, and taught the people to
know and value their rights--the blessings of
popular government. The press was the CON
ductor by which an equilibrium was produced
and maintained through all the parts
These being our views respecting the past,

we to trasmit to posterity, or even secure to our
selves, the rights and privileges we enjoyl This,
we think, can be effected only by continuing in
general to pursue past policy, rejecting the new

IL scribed by the supreme power ofthe
State, commanding what is right.
and prohibiting what is wrong, general
acquaintance with its provisions is desira-
bic to the scholar, the legislator, the plan

by profession. All classes of society, in
republican government, like our own, de-
pendant, for the perpetuity of its institu~

liberties and their fortunes depend.

rectly interested in their provisions, and
offering by their bulk, and The want Of
arrangement, an almost insuperable bar
rler to thot general discrimination of their
contents, amongst the great mass of the

to lequire.
To collect and arrange all the laws of n
general nature now in force, in this state.

with suitable digested index, and super
intending in person the completion of the
work, until ready for delivery, will be a
labor of no small magnitude. The support

be withheld from aiding in the accom-
