Ags'n, in the awful convention Of war,
the people of the United States, for the
very ends just received, have debated,
settled, and ordained certain fundamental
truths. which must heuce(orth be accept

indivialal, wise who shall disregard them.
They are to civil affairs what the natural
laws are to health -indispensabl. condi-

What are tho ordinances given by the
pecplc, speakiag ont of FIRE and darkness

same God who gave the law from Sinai
amid flanders and trumpet voices?

Such are the results Of war These
are the hest fruits of the war. They are
worth all they have cost, They are ioun-
