most clearly, that in The great march o
mind, aud Of improvements in the aris
good morals, well ordered governments
and social elevation take no part IN the
upm ard impulse. III government there is
a aslrons procliyity TO lynch law and mob.
ocracy. For proof, behold the ant.renl
disturbances Of Delaware, Sullivan and
other counties in New York, aud the
bloody ontrages that have marked them.
Behold the police accounts of robbery and
murder which are Of daily occurrence mol
only in cities, but on highways and bye.
ways, stimulated chiefly by the mosl oor.

starvation.
The details of prohigale vices and OF
frauds, resulting in the ruin Of families,
and often in self:destruction the dedray-
ityof morals and The prevalence of crime
atthe north, are fruitful OF sober reflection
to the mind, contrasting this state Of
things with that prevailing in the section
OF country in whicn providence has cast
our lot. The comparison cannot be
made without resulting in feeling of
cougTatulalion on our part, for the many
advantages we enjoy, We may mol enjoy
the same prosperity in pecuniary view;
we have not as many avenues of wealth,
as vasl resources for enterprise, and as
various inducements for profitable EN-
ployments Of capital, The same appliances
of physical luxury, and for intellectual
recreation. But in the essential eIemenis
of security from oulrages, and peaceful
enjoyment of our property and our rights;
in The prevalence of internal tranquility,
and regard for the laws, aud The moral
restrain, of social life, our condition is far
preferable. We have nol amongst US the
anlagonism of labor TO capital, of mum
bers and physical force 10 wealth, which
is SO slrikingly exhibiting itself in the
norrh, and is yet destined 10 consulse So
