The Rt. Rev. Bishop Atkinson, of this Do
cese, preached a sermon at St Paurs Chapel,
i'll this place. in which he argued, with great
force, the near approach of the end of all things
He presented all civilized nations in panoramic
view to his audience, and pointed out the fulfil
,nent ofyarious prophecies both in their past his
tory and present state In the unsettled state of
Europe, and the lamentable condition of this
country, he saw that 'fear. and perplexitv''
which the prophet said would possess the minds
OF men immediately before the coming of the
Lord. We did not hear the discourse, but we
learn that the effect was rather Uncomfortable

The Voice Of Benjamin Franklin.

The following is an extract from the last
speech made by Benjamin Franklin in the
Federal Convention:
I'm these sentiments, Sir, | agree to this
Constitution with ali its faults, if they are
such; because | think general government
necessary for u.s. and there is no form of GOV
ernmcnt bat what may be blessing, if well
administered; and, believe, farther, that this
is likely to be well administered for a course
of years and c@e only end in despotism, as
other. firms haze done before 1t, qchen the peo-
pie sia}J become so c0rrapted as to need dcspo-
tic aorernment, being incapable OF any otiler.
| doubt too, whether any other Convention We
can obtain, may be able to make better Con-
sttution; for lohea you assemble number Of
men, to haze the adcantdge Of thiir joint ariS-
dom. y0u iRerjtably assemble acith those men,
all their prejUdices, their passions, their errors
Of opinion their 3OeaI interests and their self.
ash ctecS. From such an assembly can a per
feet production be expected? 1t therefore as
tOnishes me, Sir, to find this system approach
ing SO near to perfection as it does; and |
think it will astonish our enemies, who are
waiting with confidence to hear that our coun-
ellis are confounded, like those of the builders
of Babylon, and that our States are on the
point Of sepGy0ti0n, only to meet hereatcer, for
tie ePu'pose Of cutting each others Mrouts."

which the loyal States Of the Northwest

folds And when. the rebels==who have
grssped the destinies Of the State attempt
to range her along side of the enemies Of

not what name the traitors choose to call
it "1nraslon," '*zubiugation," "coercion,"

economy and patriotism point to the course
which We recommend. The malignants
need quick and vigorous hand. If they
