Col BRENT ADDRESS. "A large and highly
respectable audience, including the teachers and
nupils of several Of our largest schools assem-
bled at St. Mary's Hall, last night, to hear the
promised address of Col. G. w. Brent, before
the Patrick Henry Society Of St. Johns
Academy.
Great difficulty was experienced in lighting
ND the hall, the gas meter being frozen up, and
defyipg hot water and gas filters, but after
feeble attempt at illumination by candles had
been effected, the refractory gas consented to
burn, and Col. Brent was introduced, In tew
appropriate remarks by the President OF the
Society, Ernest j. Simpson.
His address, an exceedingly able one, was on
the principles of government. Promising that
in the present disturbed and unhappy condition
Of public affairs, it was all important that the
youth of the country should be we'll instructed
10 the Fundamental principles of free and good
government he briefly reviewed the ancient
Pagan and the modern Christian civilization,
and showed the immense difference between
the principles on which ancient and modern
governments we're based With master hand
he portrayed the gross Casarism of Greece and
Rome their con,emptuous disregard of indi-
yidual rights; their education Of children by
the State, and for the State their gross neglect
of the poor, the afflicted, and the infrm and
contras.ed all these with the regard for private
rights; the respect for the family ties; the
charity for the aged and the infrm which
Christianity had introduced. The fight be-
tween Christian and Pagan principles; between
Cesarism and individual rights was, he said,
still going on. Capitalization Of power was still
the aim Of many n our own age and country,
while distribution of power, local self govern
ment, and individual liberty, were still striving
against them. He had strong hopes for the
success of the right; it depended upon the
young men of the nation; upon the generation
about to come upon the stage of action. He
hoped there was enough virtue and intelligence
to save ths land but if that hope failed; if
free government died among us, our case was
hopeless and our country died, never to live
again.
We regret rot being able to Civ. better re-
port Of this truly able lecture, but this imper-
feet sketch is all our time aud space will enable
MS to publish.
At the conclusion of the address, the Presl-
dent of the Society returned the thanks OF It's
members to COL Brent in felicitous terms, and
the audience retired.
