Who is there without a fault! What man of

one who has no enemy And you, who are

this moment while you were heapng charge
upon charge on the head of your brother, you
made use OF language too shocking for lis to re.
peat Guilty as he may be, you are not inno-
cent. The sins are aggravated that you laid at
his door, but they are not greater than yours,
when you protane the name of God. Man may
not punish you for this sIl; but, He who has
said, :.Thou shalt not swear will remember it,
When we hear 4 man denouncing in unmeas-
ured terms, a fellow creature, we come to the
conclusion that he is the worst man of the two.
A good man is always careful how he speaks,
and weighs we'll every sentence he utters.-
You never hear him, IN a promiscuous crowd,
dealing out abuse & making USE of threatening
language. If he has anything to say it is for
the private ear.
al men err. There is no denying this trath.
But they who are the greatest villains in the
community, are the first to make terrible hue
and cry when ii neighbor is detected in a wrong
course. They are determined to bring him to
justice, when, if their own crimes were uncover
ed the neighbours heart would be spotless in
comparison to their own.

feet in all this How would he be treated =
Can you iaagne2 Would every body res

have an enemy? We have seen how perfection
was treated in the person of Christ He was
Stunned, despised, spit upon, prosecuted, and
finally crucified. A perfect man in the nine

The nearer a man lives 10 the preceps OF the
Gospel, it is often the case that he has the Bit
terest enemies.
Be careful, we pray you, how you denounce a
fellow creature You know not his peculiar
emptations. If he has fallen once he has been
sorely tried. The man after God's heart was
not perfect, and The great apostle of the Gentles

WHAT PLEASURE it is TO pay ones debts! /
remember to have heard Sir Thomas Lttleton
make this observation. 1t seems to flow from a
combination of circumstances, each of which is
productive of pleasure. In the first place it re-
moves that uneasiness which person feels from
dependence and obligation. Ii affords pleasure to
the creditor, and therefore graties our social af
fection.--lt promotestha future confidence which
Is so very interesting to an honest mind. 1t opens
prospect OF being supplied with what we want
ON future occasions 1t leaves consciousness of
our virtue; and it is measure we know to be
right, both in point of justice and sound economy
Finally, ii is the main supper. Of simple reputa-
ton.

RUlN.-The last number of that excellent
Democratic paper, the Republican Farmer, comes
to us with nearly one page filled with Sheriffs
sales of farms, sc. The following is an edito-
rial extract from the same paper Fifty farms
advertised at Sherifl's sale-the prospect of fifty
hardy and industrious families to be dspossessed
of their property, and turned houseless upon the
world, is no calamity in the sight of Federal
Whiggery--is no evidence of the hideous defurm-
ity-no sign Of the appalling mischefs arising
from the present credit system. But let one roll
ing mill stop its operation-let one furnace blow
ont in consequence of the running out Of the Bank
credits of their aristocratc proprietors, and yell
goes up like howl Of tea thousand damned spir-
its, Ruin! And every man is ordered to join in
the shout, on the peril of excommunicaon from
all human ntercourse-Ruin This is the differ
enee. BY the sale of homes and farms at public
sale the pets of Banks, and the few possessors of
capital, are enriched at the expense of the many
who are made houseess. But the falling of a
rolling mill or furnace, is bringing the same ex-
perencs to the door of Inc Lords anointed' whose
crowns are sacrilege to touch, aud well may the
shout 60 up--Ruin ! 'Wo unto ye Scri5es and
PhaTisees, Hypocrites. ''-ster Of The North.

the Territories rs settled Let them learn their
mistake at the ballot-boxes. A seat Of Govern
ment uncontaminated with slavery is essential to
freedom Of legislation. No one can estimate the
social influences of slaveholding city against
Freedom. The struggle for more slave States is
to be renewed at once. The people Of the free
States should at once prepare to meet it. Web
ster and others have endeavored to deliver them
bound into the hands Of their adversaries on this
question Let the bands be burst as by Samson.
But, above all let freemen look to the organize
ton of the House and the Senate. With the
committees of the two Houses against them, next
TO nothing can be done The election of slave
holding Speaker determined at this session the or
ganizltion of committees so as to insure the re-
suits which have been actually witnessed. The
combination of the caucuses of the old parties in
the Senate so organized the committees of that
body that no measure favorable to Liberty could
receive the sanction of any one of them. The
| people must look to these things. If they would
have this course of action reformed, they must
see to their own elections of Representatives and
to the choice of Senators by their State Legs-

are candidates for reelection. We hope that our
readers among their constituents have kept watch
full eyes upon their action during the session now

Those who have proved untrue to Freedom

all hazards Better send new men, even IL no
better than their predecessors, than return those
who have once proved unfaihful. Let them be
