PUBLIC OPINION. = Whatever this
may be, it has a vast influence upon the
morals and actions of men. In our
country it is created from a thousand
sources; from the printing presses, dis
cussions in our legislative bodies, in
courts, in meetings for political pur-
poses, lectures in Lyceums, in pull pits,
&c. SIC.
In all these different ways there is an
apparent freedom-no limitations, no
restrictions-but is this so? In most
matters we are inclined to the opinion
that there is very little PRONUNCIATION Of
candid, honest sentiment-very little
intellectual republicanism. There is at
work behind what appears in these
matters, selfish motives, a dread to en-
counter popular prejudice, manifest
disposition to join the current whatever
meanderings it may take, and glide
safely, if we can, down the stream with
the rubbish and detritus that are float
ing. This is more or less visible from
the president to the constable, from the
doctor Of divinity to the sexton that
rings the bell, from the jeweled dame
to the chamber-maid, from the foreign
minister to the shoe-blacko This slav-
ish dependence upon public favor-this
servile dread of public frowns-impels
most men to silence when they should
speak out, or to a mischievous encou-
ragement of universal evil.

Must every lov'd thing pass away,
And perished ever lie
And must the trienI v hich seems so NJ 9r,

And vanish from our sight

It's folds were beauty to the sight,
Its fragrance filled the air.

Its stalk had withered there,
Bleak winters wind was sweeping on,
With cold and death-l like air,
And signing sadly, seemed to say,

Death marked it for the tomb
And as l viewed it's lifeless clay,

Whose head was silvered oer,

One changeless thing hast never seen,
Fen one whose happy lot,

To live and perish not
With trembling voice l heard him say,
"All things Of earth must fade away,
Forsake their beauty and decay"
To Him who doeth all things well,
sent a suppliant prayer,
That through his goodness He might tell,
And give me answer there.

And this in answer given,
"The things of earth will pass away,
But not the things of Heaven
Though earthly beauty must decay,
The heavenly passeth not away,
But blooms throughout eternal day"

moral corollary, gives view Of aImos, every
other feature Of their character. 1t may here be
remarked, that it makes every one respectable;
it of course makes some respectable who in older
communities, where there is more rigor Of senti-
ment, would be discarded. AT home in the Ter
ritory, is much Of the same freedom from social
restraint that is observed in our people when
abroad On the river; people express their views
upon common subjects with freedom-not at
tempting to conceal provincial dialect which,
perchance few Of them may have brought with
them from Turkey river, or the branches cf the
Penobscot-but they 'let right on Such per-
sons "allow" that one mans az good as ano,hsr
if so be he behaves as well. The consequence Of
this equality Of intercourse, is tendency to an
equality of intelligence. We will here premise
that Minnesota has her share Of intelligent peo-
pie. Indeed, we believe that Yves, of the Hud-
son, or indeed Eas, of it, is no mixed community
where the English language is spoken with more
propriety, and with less Infusion Of provincial
