For the Spectator.

Never, perhaps, has there been an oc-
casion more suited to the development
of genius, and the production of those
iDaster.spirits who have been the glory
and admiration o! the world, than the
early settlement of America. 1t required
the. exercise of those virtues which con.
stitute the chief excellency OF man. The
history OF the settlement of America is.
perhaps, more replete with ilustrious
incidents than any other Not only pa
thence in enduring the most distressing
hardships, but also all ingenuity in dis
covering and laying the best plans Of &C.
ton, were then called into frequent ex-
ercise. The band of adventures came
to this western haunt of wild beasts and
savages then struggling for supremacy.
They perilled all in the great cause of
freedom. The delights of civilized So
ciety, the Injuries of eastern refinement,
had no charms for them, when mingled
with, and adulterated by, civil intoler-
ance. To interfere with and rule the
conscience Of man, has ever been found
to be dangerous experiment. There
is an innate principle in orr nature
which ever recedes from the touch, and
which is guarded with the saDctity of
virgin chastity ; and it was an attack
upon this that urged our ancestors to a.
baudon the land in which early infancy
had formed many endeaiipg associations,
and not to dwell where conscience was
not free. How admirable was their
Spartan magnanimity Many Difficult.

long expected and desiredt land. But

which excited so much desire and earns
