The positions stated could be illustrated were

age and Of civilized nations The annals Of Turkey,

demonstrate the demoralizing and miserable effects
which would flow from spirit OF universal liceniious-

ograpby OF New York, in 1920, by w Stafford A. NJ.
we are informed that, in that city alone there

masters in the most AFFECT slaveryand, keep them
In subsection, they at times scourged in the
cruel manner. Some who, when wasting with the
sumption, have fed from place to another where
they supposed they should be better treated have been
seized by violence, and carried back and kept by their
old masters till approaching death had destroyed all
hope of further gain. The windows of at least one
and probably of many of these slaughter houses
are actually grated with bars of iron. II is known al
so, that children, their egi,imate offspring
and obtained by various arts Of deception from
the families Of others, trained up expressly for this
polluted traffic, and engage in it at very early period
OF life Some Of this description have been found,
whose age did not exceed eleven years.
And if such melancholy picture Of Indebtedness
is displayed amidst the boosted civilization and Chris
tanity of New York, what still revolving scenes
would open to view, were to survey the hauns of
RIGHTEOUSNESS which abound in Algers, in CONSTANT
nope, in Teheran, in Pekn, in Canton, in Jeddo, and
tanity altogether unknown. In such receptacles
oimpnrty, every moral feeling is bun,ed, and every
moral principle abandoned. lmpe,y, profanity false
hood tIeachery perjury, and drunkenness, their
unblushing fronts and thefs, robberes, and murders,
follow in their train. The unhappy female who enters
these anti chambers Of hell, is, for the most part
off from all hopes of retreat. From that moment the
shades of moral darkness begin to close around her
she bids last adeu the smiles of tenderness and
sympathy, to the kind embraces OF father and mother,
of sisters and brothers, to the house Of God to the in
structions of his word and the society of the faith
full Instead Of the cheering sounds Of the gospel Of
peace, her become accustomed oaths, and
es, and horrid mprecatons; the voice of conscience
is hnshed amidst the din Of revery and riot every
generous feeling is shrunk and withered she stalks
abroad like painted corpse, to fill with horror the
vrtuOus mind, and allure the unwary the shades
of death; till length, wasted with consumption and
loathsome disease, she is stretched upon the bed Of
languishing abandoned by her former associates de-
prived Of the least drop of consolation, haunted with
the CHASTITY appaons of departed joys, and the fore
bodings of futurity and sinks, in the midst Of her
days. into the chambers ohe grave without the least
hope Of glorious resurrection. And if we consider,
that this is picture of the wretchedness only of
few individuals but of thousands, of of thousands
and of millions Of human beings, it is impossible to de-
scribe the accumulated mass of misery which mpury
has created form any adequate conception of the
horrible and revolving Of Indebtedness which
would be displayed the law under consideration
to be set aside by all the inhabitants Of globe
There Is certain leviiy of Speech relation to this
subject, which prevails among many who wish to be
considered respectable characters, which proceeds
from contracted view of the consequences Of human
actions. They conceive, that great harm be
done TO society," by few insulated actions of the kind
alluded to, especially if they be concealed from gener-
al observation and that the Creator will be disposed
to make every allowance for human frailty Bot lie,
such remember, that, if il right violate this
any other law OF the Creator, in instance, would
be right in thousand, in million, and in eight hun
bred millions OF instances; and then all the revolving
scenes described, and thousands OF similar ef
iects, of which present form a distinct
conception, would inevitably take place. And there
fore, every who from leyity and thougbtessness
or from disregard 10 the laws OF Heaven, persists IN
the occasional indulgence Of such unhallowed grai
cations INDUCES in practice which, were II univer
sally to prevail would sap the foundations Of all moral
order, exermnste the most endearing relations Of
ciety PROSTATE below the level OF the brute, open
the Aood-gates OF all inauity, dfuse misery the
whole Of human beings and at length empty the
world Of its inhabitants
The precept which we have now been considering,
is which in all probability, is confined, in its ref
erences to the inhabitants Of our globe A, any rate,
would be quite nugatory, and therefore can have no
place in the moral code OF world where the disinc-
ton OF does exist Aud e.en in those worlds
where similar distinction may exist, the very differ
eot circumstances in which their inhabitants Plac
ed, may render The PRONUNCIATION OF such Law alto
geheT unnecessary. IiaPpesrs TO be temporary reg
ulaor, remain In force only during the limited pc
Rod Of the present economy OF Providence for IN the
future destination OF the righteous, told that
they neither marry given marriage, but are
the angels If God And therefore, It is probable,
that the recognition Of such law will not be
~, the which take place among redeem
ed the eternal world bot the principle which
