collect taxes, to regulate trade and ascer-
tain the title of lands, because we have the
natural right to dispose of our money OF
lands as we please; bat zoe haue no right
to take our oa0n life, which is given US by
our Creator for the purpose of using it for
his glory, and our eternal happiness. To
destroy it, therefore, and rush uncalled
into his presence, would be the most dar-
! ing presumption and the most awful tri-
| fling with his authority.
Ifthen we cannot destroy our own life
without violation of the law of God, we
cannot confer the right upon another or
upon government to do it,-and the law
which inficts the punishment Of death
upon its victim is as much violation of
the Supreme law Of God, and contrary to
the CONSTITUTION OF his government, to
which all human governments owe allie
! glance, as municipal or State law is I'M
constitutional which contravenes the con-
stitution or law of the Federal Govern
ment. Both are equally null and void.

life of its subjects resis upon a short pass

deA mans blood, by man shall his blood
be she'd" This, it is said, is divine com
mand, given to Noah Immediately after
the food, and has never been abrogated
1t is thought by some that this passage
lpartakes more of the nature of predic-
ton than command; for if it was de-
cree resting upon the immutable Justice
OF Jehovah. it may be very properly ask
ed, why the first murderer did not fall un-
der its condemnation But so far from
this being the case, God condescended to
fix mark upon Cain, that he might es.
cape the very penalty which 1t is alleged
was the unalterable decree of Jehovah to
be affixed to his crime. But we are re-
ferred by the Savior to no other portion Of
the Mosaic law or any other previous
manifestations OF the Divine will, as
rule of duty, than that contained in the
: Decalogue; and so far from this afford

PHILADELPHIA TRACT SocIET.Yo--.
The report of the operations of the elev-

are estimated to contain more than $4,000
families that this field has been divided
into twenty-nine sections, each under the
care ola superintendent, and these sections
into 40 districts, in each of which there
is at least one visiter who carries tract
monthly to every dwelling. The society
sustained during the year four missiona-
res in the most destitute neighborhoods.
The number of pages oftracts, 0he num-
Der Of tracts is not given,) circulated graz

number of pages sold 100000. The
receipts from donation were $500, and

SUBJECTIVE EFFICACY OF PRAYER.
We know that the infinite God cannot be
moved or actually drawn nearer 70 us by
prayer, but prayer draws the christian
nearer to God If a boat is attached to a
large vessel by a rope, the person in the
boat does not pull the ship to him by the
rope, but he brings the boat and himself
in it, nearer to the ship. So the more
fervently we pray, the nearer we bring
ourselves TO the Most High.-Roa0land

farmer, and as necessary consequence,
the producers find themselves more and
more masters of the field, and able to fix
their own prices.
Farmers can never rely on themselves for
support; they may from their farms pro-
duce what is absolutely necessary to eat,
drink and wear; but for many Of the arti-
cles that the conventional codes of society
have rendered necessary TO appearance and
comfort, and all the principal luxuries OF
life, they must depend on others and on
| these consumers they must rely for the sale
Of their surplus produce. 1t is the real in
| terest Of the farmer, therefore, to be satisfied
with good profits on his labor, and not by
charging exhorbitant rates, drive so great q
! proportion of the other classes from THEN
pursuits, and compel them to become farm
ers, as to materially change the ratio now
existing between producer and consumer
Consumers are the source Of prosperity &c
the farmer they are the life of agriculture
In the demand consequent on general pros
perity, agriculture always expands and
fiosrishes without such demand it is, and
must be, contracted, its operations inactive
and its returns proftless. Of all classes
farmers are the most truly independent
but perfect Independence is a truly Utopiar
dream. Dependence is a primary condi
tioa or element of society, and the last coulc
not exist without the first. The depend
ence between the producer and the consum
er i. natural SO far as profit is concerned
and it is idle for the latter to blame the for
mer for prices, when the remedy that alon
can correct the inequality when it exists, i
in his own hands; he too must become
producer. If the population engaged il
commerce, in manufactures, mechanics, o
the professions, could not live without til
farmer, we too should remember that with
out their aid our business would be Of lul
value in the production of wealth, and tina
their mouths are as essential an item in ag
Iricultural prosperity, as fields covered wit
crops, or barns bursting with plenty Gen
