PEACE AND FREE TRADE.

If the bad passions Of men had not been
too strong for their social feeliAgs, and
even for and enlightened sefshncss, We
should never have had anj thing on earth
cat peace and free trade. The Creator
has marked this as his design, with dis
tinctness which cannot be misunderstood.
He made men with the same wants, and
scattered them over the earth, taking care
that no man should find all the articles
which conld conduce 10 his comfort, eX-
cept by extending his commerce to all 9TH
er men. One spot Of earth supplies one
want another spot another want; butlt Is
only by collecting together the productions
OF all parts of the earth that the wants of
any one man can be fully supplied Thus
sagaciously did the benevolent Creator ar
range the wants of his children Sd as t.
impel widely extended free trade among
all ,he members Of the family. In this
way He intended that the intelligence Of
the most intelligent, and the happiness Of
the most happy, should be communicated
to all the rest, and human improvement in
one place, be speedily spread to all places
But the bad passions of men have counter
acted this master stroke OF policy. A.
mong every people there have aIways
been some who supposed it for their inter-
esl to prevent the diffusion OF intelligence.
Kings and Priests have quite too often used
their great influence TO deblse and op
press those whom they should have pro.
tcrtcd and enlightened, and opprcssor3 al,
ways count the enlightenment of the peo-
pie most dangerous 10 them. There have
also been found in every community GER
tain interests in business whose profits
have been lessened by the competition of
other communities, and they have ever
been read to resists hue and cry a.
galnst foreigners. Partly by sophistry,
and partly by appeaIingb the bad pas
slnns OF men, they have generally succeed,
ed in breaking up the free intercourse
which would ia the highest degree have
promoted the common good. They have
even teen able topersuadc men that it was
great calamity TO buy goods cheap,
though themselves always sure to buy
every thing as cheap As possible. But in
spite OF all the sagscity and effort of selfish
nes5 in opposition To the public good, the

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

The Democratic Central Committee have
prepared an address TO the people of the
State recommending new Convention
The address has been left with us for pub
llcation we have not room for it this week
next week 1t will appear. al now agree
upon the importance OF a new convention.
We cannot, therefore, TOO strongly urge
upon the people otall the counties the ne
cessity oi!mmedate acuon. If the people,
disre5arding the disputations between
those who have heretofore been regard
ed as leaders, will look to their own inter-
ests, and arouse to action, send their dele
gates to the proposed convention, that har-
mony so essential 20 success will soon
again pervade the ranks of the democracy.
