RELIGION AND LIBERTY.

An extract from Mr. Southard's Address,
delivered at Princeton College, on the e.
vening previous to the late commence
nent, TnH
Speaking of the Decalogue, he says
"This law is carried one in all its breadth
and spirit, and in the sacred Scriptures,
has descended from the wilderness of Ar
abba, through all the changes OF times and
nations; never for one moment deserving
the land which it fist governed, Tor por-
tons of it are still read and taught by a
wretched remnant, amidst the ruins OF the
cities of Palestine; but it has passed from
thence over oceans and continents; lnhaD-
tied the cottage of the peasant, assembled
the seats Of power, and become the ioun-
dation of the codes Of all Christian nations.
Since the hour Of its PRONUNCIATION, Israel
has risen to the greatness Of glory which
Solomon possessed, and been dispersed IN
every land, proverb and astonlsment'
Nations have flourished and fled away like
the mists Of the morning, and their names
are lost. Imperial cities, and the monu-
ments of the great have crumbled and been
swept away with the hearth stones oil the
humble; but Horeb still stands amidst the
desolations Of the Wilderness, an evidence
Of the presence ofthe Author Of this law;
and this law has continued TO roll on with
undecaying power, in contempt OF all the
passions and philosophy and inhdellty Of
men. Its principles arc still found IN &C
cordance with our interests and happiness,
and have their home in the inmost depths
of the pure in heart. And they VIII con-
tinue to spread, until the islands, the
oceans and the continents obey; and until

ABOLITION has been said about
the excitability Of the Southern members
of Congress on the subject ofSlavery; but
so far from their manifosting any undue
sensibility on the subject, we believe thai
they have been too tame, and have fallen
short Of representing the feelings of their
constituents.
y. Were they to represent fully the feel
ings Of their constituents, on the floor oil
Congress, when they are denounced as
man stealers, murderers, and every thing
disreputabIe to humanity, they would in
stantly cut the lhroats OF, or cut all con-
nexion with their vile maligners.-lt
is impossible that the South can enter
tain any respect or affection for people
who are annually assailing their peace,
their happiness and prosperity in the most
tender point; and the day is approaching
when the man who, in the South, would re-
commend forbearance towards the bloody
and degraded fanaticks will be looked on
as dangeroushlly ofthe infamous wretch
es. We have already manifested entirely
too much forbearance towards them; and
| it is now high time to let them know that
they must not even attempt to disturb the
compromise which put question of slave
ry to rest at the organization of the Fed
eral Constitution. lfthey insist on legls-
lating on the subject ofSlavery, we would
say at once dissolve the Union. If they
are determined to denounce us in language
at once insulting Jour feelings and Princl-
pies, let their agents be held responsible
on the floor of Congress, according to the
laws which govern the people Of the South
This perhaps would be the sPeedIest way
TO stop the insulting TRADES against the
South. The right Of petition might not
appear so sacred in The eyes of these mis-
guided fanaticks, if they were held person
ally responsible for their insulting Ian
guage.--Senentinel 4. Exposition,

mortalis coatinebH Of nil men, American
scholars, and you among them, ought moi
to be ignorant Of any thing which this
book contains. If Cicero could declare
that the laws of The twelve tables were
worth all the Libraries Of the philosophers
if they were the carmen neceSsarium ofthe
Roman youth, how laboriousIy manu- noe
turna diurnaque ought you TO investigate
its contents, and inscribc them upon your
hearts. You owe to them the blessed CT
vii institutions under which you live, and
the glorious freedom which you enjoy and
If these are to be perpetuated, it can only
be by regard to those principles. Civil
and religious liberty is more indebted TO
Luther and Calvin and their compeers Of
the Reformation, and to the Puritans and
Protestants Of England, and the Hugenots
OF France, than to any other men who ev-
ever lived in the annals Of time. They
led the way to that freedom and frmness,
and independence Of Thought and invests
CATION, and the adoption of these princ-
pies, as the guide in social government, as
well as private actions, which created a
personal sell-respect and frmness in its
defence, which conducted us to a sense of
equal rights and privileges, and eventual
y TO the adoption Of free written constitu-
tons as the limitation Of power. Be you
imitators Of them. Make your scholar
ship subservicnt TO the support of the same
unchanging principles. They are as me-
cessary now as they ever were, to the sal
walton Of your country and all that is dear
to your hopes. The world is yet to be
proselyted to them. Religion and liberty
must 60 hand in hand, or America cannot
be established; tho bondage of the Euro
pean man broken; Africa enlightened, and
Asia regene rated. And even here, we arc
not without peril. Look abroad; are not
the pillars of our edifce shakenl Is not
law disregardedS Are not moral and So
cial principles weakened? Are not the
wretched advocates of infdelity busy?-
The sun has indeed risen upon our noun
tain tops, but it has not yet scattered the
damps and the darkness of the valleys
The passions are reused and misled An
Gent institutions are scorned. Our re-
fugc is in the firm purposed of educated
and moral mon. Draw then your rules of
action from the only safe authority. Hang
your banner on their outer wall. Stand
by them in trial and in triumph. Dare to
maintain them in every vicissltude; and
make your appeal to the source from which
they are drawn. And then, come what
may, contempt or fame, you cannot fall;
and your progress, at every step, will be
greeted by the benedictions of the wise
and ETE--SALVETE."

DocT. FRANKLIN ON A PAPER cURRENcyi-
The following extract (says the Mobile
Advertiser) from the autography of Doct
Franklin, will set at rest any doubt, as ia
the opinions Of this great practical philos,
opher, on the subject ola paper currency
"About this time, (l729,) there was O
cry among the people for more paper mo.
ney, only l5,O0Ol. being extant in tho pro.
vince, and that soon to be sunk.
"The wealthy inhabitants opposed any
addition, being against all paper currency,
from the apPrehensions that it would de.
preciate, as i had done in New England,
to the injury of all the creditors.
ave had discussed this point in unto,
here was on the side of an addition, be-
ing persuaded that the first small sum,
struck in 1873, had done much good, by
increasing the trade, employment, and
number Of inhabitants in the province
since now saw all the houses inhabited,
and many new ones building, whereas |
remembered we'll when first walked abou,
the streets Of Philadelphia, (eating my
roll,) | saw many Of the houses in Walnut
street, between Second and Front streets,
with bills on their doors, 'to be let,' and
many likewise in Chestnut street, and 9TH
er streets, which made me think The in
habltants of the city were, one after ano-
Their deserving 1t. Our debates possessed
me so fully of the subject, that wrote and
printed an anonymous pamphlet on it, en-
titled 'The Nature and Necessity of Pa
per Currency 1t was well received by
the common people in general; but the
rich men disliked it, for it increased and
strengthened the clamor for more mo-
ncy; and they happened to have no wri-
tiers among them that could answer it,
the opposition slackened, and the point
was carried in the House. My friends
there who had considered that had been
of some service, saw fit to reward me in
printing the money, very profitable job,
and a great help to me; this was another
advantage gained by being able to write.
The nullity ofthis paper cur
rency became, by time and experience, so
evident the principles on which it was
founded were never afterwards much dis
puted 80 that it grew soon to $4,000. trade
buildings and inhabitants all the while in
though | now think there are
limits beyond which the quantity would be
hurtful."

satisfactorily ascertained.
In the above named vessels, says the
Sailors Magazine, one thousand two hun.
dred and ninety-fivo were reported as be-

the whole, for in many instances the crew
