Whatever il is governmental and party crime
to attempt by law it is greater crime to do with

We have thus shown, in manner which admits
no denial that the only serious offence Of the old
Hamilton aud Adams Federalists was the enactment
Of the Alien and Sedion laws, and that these have
been left far behind in crminality by many acts Of
Gen. JACKSON and Mr.. Polk. As for doctrines,
the Federalists were little given to that sort Of
thing; nor chad they been ever so bent on the de-
struction Of our free government were they ac-
quanted with that art which Machiavel calls

art of amusing the people with republican talk,

HISTORY OF OHIO.
CHAPTER, Nv.
Concluded

The second grade of territorial gov
eminent was to commence whenever
the free male inhabitants should amount
to five thousand. A general assembly
was then to be organized, consisting o
the governor, house of representatives
and legislative council. The quaIi6ca.
tions necessary to render a person eli.
gible as a representative, were three
years residence in the territory, OF
three years citizenship in one Of the
states, residence in the district at the
time of election, and an estate in fee
simple Of two hundred acres OF land in
the territory. The representatives
were to be elected for two years, by
electors having a freehold qualification
OF not less than fifty acres of land
The legislative council was to consist
of FIVE persons appointed by Congress,
out Of a list of ten persons nominated
for tina. purpose by the governor and
house Of representatives, who were to
be residents Of the territory, and each
10 have a freehold estate in five hun
dred acres Of land in the territory
tn. legislative power was to be vested
in the governor, house Of representa-
tives, and legislative council, and the
concurrence Of each was necessary be.
fore any law could be passed.
Finally, it was provided that the ter
ritory should be s%ubdivided, and that
each of the several parts, whenever its
population should become sufficiently
numerous, should be admitted into the
union on al equalfooting with the orig
inal states, and be at liberty to form a
permanent constitution and state gov.
eminent.
In addition TO the provisions for the
establishment Of the different success
sive grades Of government, the ordi-
n contained several articles, which
it ordained aud declared should be con-
sidered as articles Of compact between
the original states which should be
formed within it, to remain forever I'M
altsrable unless by common consent.
Their object was declared to be, to ex.
tend the fundamental principles Of civil
and religious liberty when the states
with their constitutions and laws were
erected, and to fix and establish those
principles as the bases Of all laws, con-
stitutions and governments, which ever
should be formed within the territery.

Progress of the United States.

ITOSrtSS vi llt UHltcu OCdlcS.
The history Of every year furnishes
new evidence o the increasing energy &
and influence of this Republic, and Of
its unexampled progress in education
and the arts, and in whatever pertains
to civil culture. The physical aspect
Of the nation as well as its social and
intellectual condition, when viewed in
connection with the short period of its
Independent existence, stands forth in
proud contrast with that of every other
nation on the globe. Scarcely more
than threescore years have elapsed
since the country, which at this day
presents so wide a scene of population
and culture, contained but a few depen-
denotes Of Great Britain on its eastern
shore, while the remainder in its whole
extent, exhibited only the dense foliage
of an interminable forest, or the waving
wild grass Of the boundIess PRAIRIE
Now the horizon is darkened in nearly
every direction by clouds of smoke sent
up from popuIous cities, and the unbro.
ken gloom of the wilderness is succeed
ed by the busy hum of active life. The
domain ola free and enlightened nation
extends far and wide over n region that !
was lately the abode Of no human be-
ing save the untamed Indian. From
the great lakes of the North to the gi-
gantic Gulf of Mexico on the South,
from the waters of the Atlantic to the
Pacific, the impress Of civilization is
stamped upon the face of the country.
The ploughshare and the pruning hook
are rapidly transforming the wilds and.
woodlands of vastcontlnent into fields Y
of plenty and gardens of beauty. AL
ready have the e%nterprising sons of our
soil, carrying with them the implements
Of husbandry, penetrated to the extreme p
verge of the continent and taken pos .
session of the public domain beyond The
Rocky mountains. -aa.l snss1
But while we contemplate with salts Z
faction the scene Of prosperity which
the physical aspect of the country pref
sents, and while we observe in every
direction the evidence of our advance
ment in population and wealth, and in
the useful arts, it is gratifying to per-
ceive that the higher and nobler ele-
ments OF national well.being are not !
wanting among US. Halls Of learning
and temples of religion are daily spring.
ing up around US, and are following the !,
course of the pioneers to dispsl the ]
gloom Of the western wilderness. ga
The efforts now making by philan-
thropists and statesmen TO improve and
enlarge our systems of education, to
diffuse. still more widely the rudiments )
of knowledge, and to render the higher .
departments OF learning more accessi- j
Bile to the mass, must be productive of
and enduring consequences. L.
