blood, he could not From feeling which all will
understand, he retraced his steps, determined tha,
| if die he must, it should be beside the faithful
steed. With his mead upon the neck of the dying
animal, he swooned away, and was found by scouts
| from the garrison sent out in consequence of the
noise of the firing.
Nearly the whole garrison at the post turned out
in pursuit of the enemy,-but the Indians had dis
appeared with ali their booty. With tho mutila-
ted bodies of his late companions, however, the
sergeant was reoiced to see the treacherous scout
brought in-"and stranger said he, while his
face glowcd with savage delight, :. was the man
who tied the moose for him.
20 The riots and tumults so lamentably fre-
uuent of late, are well rebukcd in an admirable
address delivered by the Rev. Fl. v D. Johns at
the Inauguration of the Rev Dr.. Junkin into the
presidency of Miami University We subion as
much Of it as our space will allow:
l, is not to be denied, that for some years past,
the spirit Of lawless characterization has been on
the fearful Increase through cur borders and that
oil the officers of public authority in the nstitu-
tions of civil or literary character have been
scious of growing difficulty in the discharge of
their public duties. Witness the impotency of the
speakers chair in our halls of National Leesla-
ton; the confusion and tumult, and gross person
alty in debate. Mark the effect Of such example
on our State Legislative bodies. Behold the SUBJ
jects of public justice from jails, and
ecutcd by the populace; an important CONNER
cial CITY East of the mountains, for day at cas,
abandoned to the fury of mob; whole body of
singunrly deuded men it is true, but not for that,
in the eye of our laws to be outlawcd, Expelled
from the State in which they lived. Recall the
anxiety felt by the lovers of peace and order, on
the eve Of the elections of the last Autumn, null
,ludcs of citizens going armed to the polls. Suf-
fer me to point you to the unhappy relations of
our government TO the greatest maritime power OF
the world, arising entirely from the disregard of
handful of our citizens for the sanctity of law
What all these things, bpt signs of evil Import
symptoms of growing want Of respect for the
guardianship of law, and for existing public au-
thority And hence the remark, which may
often be heard from Maine to Georgia, that
"the time has come when we want stronger
government There is throughout country,
humilating as is the confession, increasing
sense of insecurity in every right. Distrust is
written upon the national countenasce; and the
American citizen is respected and safe abroad
in foreign lands, than in many sections of his own
home.
Such is the state of country at this hour, and
the evil originates, where but in the criminal
abandonment of the obligation alike ofreligon and
Of patriotism, to respect and obey duly appointed
pubc authority Our laws, what are they but the
ordinances of Godl And our public otficers-dare
we with the Bible in our hand, regard them in any
other light than as the ministers of God to us p
Official station, the will of God to the contrary,
Notwithstanding is les. and less respected every
day; and the love of order and of law is giving
way before the hydra-spirit of liberty, so called,
but cf RIGHTEOUSNESS in fact.
The hopes of freedom rest upon the expulsion
of these odous principles and practices, and upon
the diffusion of a religious and patriotic sense of
the obligation of every good citizen to render a
ready and generous obedience to duly constituted
public authority; for the national conscience seems
to have become scared upon this subject
AS we are the most free people on earth, we
need more than all others, loftier than Roman
virtue in our devotion to the sacredness Of pub
lie authority. Hence, I call it religions and
patriotic obligation, one which descends from God
and strikes its roots deep in picty and love OF
country We should therefore guard the energy
and majesty Of law as we would the apple of our
eye. AS high self:respects the only trse founda-
! ton of character in individuals, and as the man
who loses it is lost, so an elevated respect for
their own laws and officers is the only basis of ma
.ional glory; if it wanes, dishonor and ruin are
inevitable, and the American eagle abandons her
position among the armorial emblems of the older
nations of the world
