THEEXISTENCE OFA SUPREME
BEING.

Can we cast our ewes towards heaven.
and contemplate all whichtrauspires there,
without possessing every possible evidence
the, it is governed, by one Supreme-one
Divine Intelligence? When we behold
the beauty and the splendor of heaven
the quickness Of its motion, which is so
great, that we can form no conception Of it,
the vicissitudcs of the days and nights
the change Of the four Seasons, which serve
TO ripcn the fruits Of the earth, and to
preserve our bodies in health; when we
see the earth penpled with animals
some to sustain US, others TO clothe us,
these to draw our burdens, those 70 ill our
fields, that man is placed here TO look up
70 heaven, and to honor the Gods, that
everv country. and every sea hut minister
70 his necessities; can we in the view
OF this spectacle, doubt that there is one
Being who has either formed the world.
supposiug that according TO The opinion Of
Plato, it ,Uas formed; or that a Being
conducts ard governs it, supposing ac-
cordiug TO the notion of Aristotle, that it
existed from all eternity?
A very strong proof of the existence of
Goo is, that there is no people SO barba-
Yous, no man so degraded, whose mind is
not filled with this belief. 'Tis true, many
nations have no just idea Of a God !;
they suffer themselves to he led away by
erroneous. religious opinions, but all agree
in the belief of Divine Power-of Su-
preme Being. You ask of me, what is
God1 will answer you as Simonides
did the lyrant Hero, who proposed to him,
the same question. At frs, be required
one day TO think of it; the mex. he required
tsoo days. AS he doubled the number of
days he required, each time, Hero wished
10 know the cause. Because" said he,
"lhe more l reflect on the subject, the
more obscure it appears to mel"
When the sage said oman, "know thy
SELF" it was not merely for the purpose Of
humbling his pride, but also 10 make him
feel his own values Every man who
will retire into himself, will discern the
traces of the Divinity. Looking upon
himself, as a temple; in which the Gods
have placed his soul as an image of them

THOUGHTS.

Man should prefer the testimony of his
conscience 10 all subtle reasoning. Though
our sight should he the keenest, saysP Plato,
vel The eye could never discover wisdom.
Oh! if she were hut visible, with whar love
would the hearts OF men warm towards
her!
After Wisdom, look uponFricudship as
The richest present, which the immortal
Gods have made It's. Some prefer riches,
some health, some power, others hon
ors, and many even pleasure: This last
belongs to The brutes, and with regard to
the rest, they are frail, uncertain things,
depending less on our prudence than on
Fortune. You have riches, but to use,
character TO be steemed-honors to be
praised-pleasure to be enjoyed, health TO
feel no pain, aud 10 resist bodily fatigue.
But Friendships is never-ending resource.
On all sides. il is offered TO you--in every

Mccklenburg Declaration of Indepen-
dence.-Much has been said about this
celebrated Declaration. Sumo have doubt
ed whether it was cuer made. There can
he no doubt that it ,oas proclaimed in the
month of May, though spurious copy
was published, and was regarded as genu-
inc. We copy the following from The
Eastern Argus:
MECKLENBURG DECLARATION
OF INDEPENDENCE.
TnE QUESTION SETTLED.--Messrs.
Editors.--Under the above head, the
Southern Literary Messenger for June,
contains an article similar in character to
the one in your paper of Saturday last, in
vindication of MIR, Jefferson. The Mes
senger, however goes farther and furnishes
copy of the Mccklenburg Declaration
side by side with the spurious one, upon
the strength of which MIR. Jefferson has
heen charged with plagiarism. A news
paper. published July l2, l775. contain
ing the genuine copy, has recently fallen
into the hands of MIR. Force, the present
Mayor of Washington. The genuine copy
is dated May 81, 1873, and tho spurious
one, May 20, of The same year.
The writer in The Messenger correctly
remarks, that "this genuine copy complete
ly acquiis Mr.. Jefferson of the improbable
charge ofplasiarism, which party zealots
first induslriously pro?agated, and care
less reasoners too readily admitted. 1t
does not contain single expression or
phrase, which is to he found in the decla-
ration Of independence, adopted by Con
gress. The spurious copy contained sew
,ral, which are here printed, and which
from the first, led many to doubt its au-
theuticity."
