Moral and Political Sciences-to which M. Cheva-
licr belongs
A strong government is an inestimable advantage
to nation, provided its wisdom be oommcnsurate
to its strength but folly and rashness, armed with
irresistible force are the most formidable weapons
that can be welded at the expense of mankind
We hold 1t therefore to be sensible addition to
the present calamious state of Europe, and to the
prost ective pers of France, that the bodies which
are supposed to have some control over the presen
government should be remarkably deficient in tho
known aualifi ,ations of craftsmanship. Where in
this mimic empire shall find trace Of the dig
nifed caution Of Cambaceres, the mastery astute-
ness Of Talleyrand, the science of Portals, tho ad
administrative Skill of Mares, the financial ability of
Gaudin? On the Nivoss, An. VIII when the First
Consul was engaged in a similar task on the forma-
ton Of his Senate and COUNCILS he announced in the
Montfcnr that he viewed with contempt the ma.
neuvres OF the baser sort of politicians to earn his
favor, and that 4" he would not suffer crowd of
obscure or discreGited names to wrap themselves in
the beams Of his glory The First Consul chose
freely, for he chose from ell that remained of ability
and character in France. His government was at
irst exposed to no opposition, for It had absorbed
the whole force of the nation But now We are every
day feminded of the absolute contrast between diff
ferent periods under similar forms, and, ia spite of
the pretended revival Of the consular regime, his
tory has witnessed nothing more dissimilar than
the character and epoch of the Emperor Napoleon,
and the character and epoch of Louis Napoleon
Bonapare both in the persons of the chief actors,
and in the abilities Of those about them.

The Bible made The DulwaTk Of American
Slavery.
BArynniDor, March 20, 1852.

BAISBDiDGE, March 90, 1852.
Dean MARIUs Our friends the Wilson's
in letter addressed TO me through the Blu
gle, deny that the Bible has been made, hy
The American Church aud Clergy the
great prop of slavery. The Bible is,
to every individual and TO every comb-
combination of individuals, just what they
think il il. To those, who consrlc il as
supporter OF slavery, il is pro-slavery book.
Tint the Bible is now, and has been, for 20
years, the strong hold of this sum Of all
vilnnies, as it is and has been construed by
the leading sects Of the country, is what
shall not argue in the Bugle. AS well argue
whether there is Bible. One fact is enough,
j. c., not one of the leading secls has yet Ia
ken the ground that lave-holdng is incon-
sistent with christianity. On the contrary
they have all asserted over and over again,
that man may he true Bible christian,
aud slave holder. Thus linking the Bible
10 Slavery.
The queslon-does the Bible sanction
kluNtIl SUM uOh hlSthso ShHl'g w
causc if il does, or does not, twould not al
ter my opinions or practices in reference TO
that crime. 1t has ever been my opinion
that .American slavery is not sanctioned by
that book and neuer said or ,crOie one t0Ord
from mhich il could be justly inferred that ]
thought il did know slavery is wrong
Bible or no Bible; and il every verse in that
book asserted slavery to be right, it would
not alter my opinion. | have in my soul
Inv above the Bible in regard to this ques-
ton. So has every human being. We
should as soon submit the question of our
existence 10 tic Bible, MS the right or wrong
of slavery. The Bible has from the begin
ing been questioned by the leading religious
bodies and individuals Of the nation in
support of slavery and those who have
refused to admit slavery TO be right on that
authority, have been denounced as infdels.
NV only answer, is if the Bible sanctions
slavery, the Bible is wrong; it the the Bible
is opposed to selfevident truth-the Bible IL
n selEeyident falsehood. Whether it be thus
opposed, leave to those TO settle who re-
ceiye and practice this cOncocted essence o.
fraud, robbery and murder, OH the authority
of Book. My way to settle it is, if th'
Bible sanctions slavery, war, polygamy, o.
concubinage, ! do not sanction the Bible.
"INFIDELw Our friends uso this Wort
as one Of oditm. lonly wish to be worth.
to be known as an ilfdel to Religion thn
eyer did sanction slavery or war. wish t
