matter. The Fourth Of July is now ap-
preaching. and we, as our custom is, will
have a patriotic address delivered. We
shall see if the American orator can equal
the Jewish in the solemnlty and sobrlety of
his style, and the business of his matter
This address was delivered not for show, but
for national instruction, and with the design
to inform the Jews how they should pre-
serve their national purity and integrity,
and how they should make their institutions
perpetual.
These be the words which Moses spake
unto all Israel on this side Jordan in The
wilderness, in the plain over against the Red
Sea, between Paran, and TopheI, and Leban,
and Hazerolh, and Dizahab There are
eleven days journey from Horeb by the
way of mount SER unto kadesh- barnea. y
And it came to pass in the fortIe,h year, in
the eleventh month, on the first day of the
month, tina, Moses spake unto the children
of Israel, according unto all that the Lord
had given him in commandment unto them;
after he had slain Sihon the king Of the
Amori,es, which dwelt in Heshbon, and o.
the king of Bashan, which dwell, al As,aroh
in Edrei: on this side Jordan, in the land
of Moab, began Moses to declare this law,
saving. The Lord our God spake unto us in
Horeb, wing, Ye have dwell long enough
in this mount turn you, and take your jour
ney, and go TO the mount of the Amoriles,
and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in
The plain. in the hills, and in the vale, and in
the son,h, and by the sea side. to the land
of the Canaaniles, and unto Lebanon, unto
the great river, the river Euphrales Behold.
! have set the land before yon: 90 in and
possess the land which the Lord sware unto
your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and jacob, to
give up to them and their seed after them
And spake unto you a. that time, saying,
| am not able to bear you myself alone: the
Lord your God hath multiplied you, and,
behold, We are this day as The stars of hea
ven for multitude (The Lord God of your
fathers make you thousand times SO many

Outstanding, and known among your tribes,
and will make them rulers over you. And
We answered me, and said, The thing which
thou hast spoken is good for us 10 do. So
| took the chief of your tribes, wise men,
and known, and made them heads over YOU,
captains over thousands, and captains over
hundreds, and captains over iGies, and cap
| and eff
tribes. And charged your Judges a. that,
time, saying, Hear the causes between your
brethren, and Judge righleously between
every man and his brother, and The stranger
that is with him. Ye shall not respect per-
sons in Judgment; but ye shall hear the
small as we'll as the great; We shall not be
afraid of the face of man; for the judgment,
you, bring it unto me, and ] will hear it,
And commanded you a, that time all The
things which ye should do.
And when we departed from Horeb, we
went through all that great and terrible will
derness, which We saw by the way of the
mountain of the Amorles, as the Lord our
God commanded us: and we came 10 kad-
eshbarnea. And | said unto you, Ye are
come unto the mountain of the Amortes.
which the Lord our God doth give unto us.
Behold, the Lord thy God hath set the land
before thee; 60 up and possess it, as the
Lord God Of thy fathers hath said unto thee;
fear not, neither be discouraged.
And We Came near unto me every one OF
you, and said, We will send men before us,
and they shall search US on, The land and
bring us word again by what way we must
90 up, and into what cities we shall come
And the saying pleased me well: and took
twelve men of you, one of tribe. And
;hey turned and wen, up into the mountain
and came unit, the valley Of Eshcol, and
searched it out and they took of the fruit
Of the land in their hands, and brought il
down unto us, and brous ht US word again
and said, 1t is a good land which the Lord
our God doth give us. Notwithstanding ye
would not 60 up, but rebelled against The

forth out of the land Of Egypt, 10 deliver us
into the hand of the AmorI,es, TO destroy us.
Whittier shall we go up? our brethren have
, discouraged our heart, saying, The people
is greater and taller Than we; the cities are
great and walled up to heaven; and more

God which goeth before you, he shall fight
for you, according to all tina, he did for you
in Egypt before your eyes; and in the will

Lord thy God bare thee, as man doth bear
; his son, in all the way that We went, until
we came into this place. Ye in this thing

went in the way before you, to search you
out place TO pitch your tents in, in fire by
