generous, is it noblea Why thrust upon
them the heavy burthen of negro equality
against their prayers and entreaties. Lei

2 In this connection and In conclusion, in
recognition Of the debt Of pleasure its pc
rusal afforded us years ago,-owe beg! the
patience and pardon ofcahe reader for an
sllusion to q speech intended to have been
spoken on the bill for altering the charter
of the Colony Of Massachusetts,, and
which, although noe delivered by its au-
thor Gin consequence, probably, of his age
and infrmities), vas published, and elicit
ed from the Colonies the warnest tributes
of gratitude end applause. Never since
the generous imagination Of BEsKELY had
dictated those glowing and familiar lines,
which pictured the tuture glories of Amer
lea, had the character and fortunes Of it's
people been described with so sympathetic
epirit; never were the high functions
and duties which are imposed upon the
English Church, BY reason of its connec-
ton, with the State, more worthily dis
charged BY her representatives, than on
this occasion BY Sa1PLEY, the Bishop of
St. Asaph.r The Language does not contain
. discourse Of the came length, which
establishes with more sloquence, the en-
tire harmony between the lessons OF po--
litical wisdom, snd the sentiments Of Chris
tian piety, than the speech to which we
refer. Most touchingiy does he urge kind
and liberal policy towards the colonies.
= Let us cherish them IS the immortal
monuments Of our public justice and Wis.
dom, as the heirs Of our better days, of
our old acts, and manners, and expiring
national virtue II no improperly be seen
in it, let the plunderer and oppressor 60
free, bat be content with the spoils Of the
Fact, and no not think the love of liberty
the only crime worthy of punishment. - = sc
Sentiments so wise, and noble, com
mended by all the authority of venerable
age, and sacred profession, might have in
spired those lines Of the poet
Truth shows glorious face
When on that isthmus which commands
The counsels OF tive worlds, she stands."
Let the spirit that dictated such senti-
ments pervade the heasts, and minds of
our people. Let % bring to the consider
alton Of public affairs, unsel6sh patriotism,
and Christian charity, . single desire to
promote the welfare Of our whole country,
and We shall soon rejoice once more in .
happy, restored, peaceful Union, so clasped
in the North and in the South to our heart
of hearts, that death itself could not tear
loose the clinging tendrils of devotion.
