and forms. Now where there is law,
there must be law giver. Without a
perfect law there cannot be perfect order,
and this law could not exist without
framer and executive to enforce it. On
these simple axioms, we cannot, perhaps
construct complete proof of the being
aud projections of Deity, yet, it forms
a sufficient ground work for the conclu-
sion, that whatever exists must have a
cause, and that, this cause is worthy of
respect and even alteration. We natur.
ally respect whatever is superior to US,
and from which we derive advantage or
suffer injury and we will return thanks
for favors received or hoped for, and will
deprecate the anger of power that can
be enraged. So may originate a system
of religion; but to give it order and per-
lection, and to direct 10 a means of hap
py after existence revelation is necessa-
ry.
Religion is not in itself dependent on
philosophy. but she may derive from it
some of her best illustrations. We may
linger long among the beauties and
harmonies of nature without any
definite idea, yet if the mind is brought
20 bear upon them, we find that there is
a perfection and consistency in their de-
velopment which leads us to the imme-
diate contemplation of a higher power
and that there is in the whole universe a
beautiful and orderly law.

EDUcATIoN.-Above all things else,
educate ! Though a nation have gold
and silver uncounted though it have a
commerce whitening all oceans though
it h ave genius to invent physical tro-
phies and enterprise to execute them !;
though it be a s,orehouse Of the earth's
luxuries in time Of peace, and mighty
arsenal of fighting men in time of war,
yet without thorough, enlightened edu-
cation Of the heads and hearts Of the
people, it lacks the chief element of glo-
ry and strength. That nation which has
Freedom for its tutelar deity, Republi-
cansm for its government, and Schools,
and voluntary shrines Of Worship dot
ting its territory, needs neither standing
armies nor navies, TO defend and give il
influence before the world. Borbarism
and serfism can rear pyramids, and Par
thenons, but neither of them can stand
secure on the basis Of sef.poised, intel
lectual atrengtb. knowledge is power
and Education cheap and the only sure
defence of nations.
