,The last New-York Observer contains an
address lately delivered before the Society of
Inquiry respecting Missions, in the Theologi-
cal Seminary at Andnver, on the connexion
between Domestic Missions and the politicat
prospects of our country. This address ought
‘to be extensively read,and were it not so long
we should take pleasure in laying it before
‘our -readers. As it is we can give only an
extract. '
The writer shows in the first place some of
the principal causes on which the perpetuity
of a republican government depends ;-\'2ndlya
hints at the agency of these causes in making
us what we are, and Sdly, glances at the pros-
‘greets ofour nation, considered as depending
on these causes. Our extract is from the last
‘of these divisions.
“ -We can look at the future, only by com-
paring tbe present with the past, or that past
with a period still more remote. This com.
parison can be tnade in two ways ;~—first, by
comparing the increase ofthe means of liter-
ary and religious instrucrion,witb the increase
ofterritory ; or, secondly, by comparing the
increase ofthese means, with the increase of
population. I need not; however, institute a
formal comparison in both or either of these
ways, for the result would be anticipated.-
The subject has so often been presented, not
only here, btrt elsewhere, that few are unac-
quainted with the true state of the case. As
our thoughts linger on the sul'-ject,—as we go
back a half century and journey down, we
find, as we approach the present, that a shade
begins to settle on our path, and starting, look
around, as ifto ask, if night is so soon closing
upon our country’s prospects. VVe look again
and find it is only a few clouds gathered a.
iouud the sun, which is yet in its zenith.
Compare the number and character oftnin-
isters of the Gospel, and the rueans of educa-
tion in general, as they existed when we were
thirteen states,with their number and charac-
ter now that we are twenty four; or compart-
them as reckoned when we were_3 millions,
and now that we are twe__l‘ve ; and we see what
it is that darkens our prospect, and casts an
inauspicious shade across the vista of futurity.
Itis not withus as it once was. Even within
. the limits of New England, the Sabbath, the
house of God, the ordinances ‘of tltérGospel
are not regarded with the same sentiments
they once were. The means of education
are not so universally" enjoyed,nor knowledge
so extensively diffused, nor the influence of
Christianity sowidely felt. In .’V'ew England
are many hardy sons, wlro'_"lrear the sound of
no church-going bell, who come not frotn
Sabbath to Sabbath to worship the God of
their fathers, and enjoy few or none of the
blessingsofeducatiou. Go beyond these lim-
its, and the prospect is still more dark 53 dis-
heartening. A short distance carries ns not
only beyond the call ofthose wlto stand upon
the mountains, bringing good tidings, and
publishing peace, but beyond the recognition
ofa Sabbath, and, I had almost said, beyond
the cotnforts of domestic and civilized life.
But let me not be misunderstood. I mean
not-to say, that in New England is less learn-
ing, less piety, or less moral influe_nce, than
there once was. Nor do I mean to say, that
in our country there is less of these. There
is much more ;-—more science and literatrtré,
more piety,more moral influence ;—there are
more who enjoy the blessings of educ'-'tion.——
There has been a gradual advance in all these
respects. Whatl mean is, that while our lit-
erary and religiousinstitutions have been mul-
tiplying, and learning and religion extending,
our wealth and population have been multi-
plying faster, and our territory_ more rapidly
extending. The tide of wealth and poprrla-
tion has been flowing on to the West 8!. South
so swiftly,thatthe tide ofliterary and religious
influence has not kept pace with it. While,
in our older settlements, we remain at peace,
our churches stand, out institutions of learn--
ing remain, our philosophy and arts flourish.
there is risingjbeyond the Mississippi a nation
which‘, if suffered to grow up without these
iustitutions,will neither recognise us as breth-
ten’ nor acknowledge the God of our fathers.
. The banks of that king of rivers, even to its
source, are lregiuniugto echo with the hum of
I husiness,- and the movements of an enterpris-
ing population. And the Missouri, instead of
winding its shaded way through dark unbro-
ken forests, is now rolling its full title along
the habitations of men. But these thousands
before whom the forests are melting away,are
not enjoying the benefits of learning and reli-
gion. They are growing up without educa-
V-gtiprz, without imbibing the principles of mo-
rtality and religion, or the principles of a free
representative government. They are corn-
ing to possess that character which will ren-
der thetn an unsafe despository ofpower ;—
that_,cbarac,ter which rendered the existence
,of,,fdr_mer republics so precarious, or rather
tlr’eir‘l"uitr so certain. I say a nation is there
spr'ingl,u'g up, which is soon to.give character
to our‘_ government, and make laws for us.--
’Tlre,hy,udreds 82. thousandsvof populous towns
and-fcilies which stretch along the shores, and
cover’--the hills and valleys of the Atlantic
states, will soon cease to characterize our na-
tion and sway its councils. They will soon
come to be but a small majority compared
with tlremillrons that shall roll itr wealth and
luxury beyond the Alleghany, and even be-
yond the Mississ,_ippi.' Already is the tritiu-
euce of the ‘West beginning to be strongly
felt in the halls of our national legislation. A
few years, and of those who represent our on
tiou in our council chambers, the majority
will come over the Allegbauy ;—a few years
.tuo_re, and that rnajorirtywill cross the Mr’s-
sissippi on their way. And with whatchar-
acter shall they come? With the same that
those for whom they.cqnre possess. I forbear
.v
is say what that will be, if’ it be__not-the‘char-
‘ ;. acter which isgiven them by causing our in-
, stitutions of civilvand religious society to rise
up'antong._them.-I Would we,then, retain our
present character and government, we must
do, it by itrtpressirrg that character on those
who ere long slrallbold 'th'atigover‘nm'ent in
their hands, and wield the destinies of-our na-
tion. We must ‘carry them the sublrmegtruths
of the Gospel. We must cause to be dissem-
inated among them the blessings ofeducation,
the great principles of our government, the
spirit of true liberty, and that Christian, that
republican virtue, which always prompts to
so ‘much of self-renunciation as public good
requires. Do this ; then let our population
move on to the VVest,—-let nation rise beyond
nation till their cities line the shore of thePa-
cific, and they will only be parts of _the’sanre
great nation; their reflex influence WIII always
be salutary, and we shall love to dwell under
their protection and their governmellft fol‘ it
will be the government ofour choice. Neglect
to do this,--and who shall tell usthe fcarfully
different result. We need no inspiration to
foresee it, but we need language more signifi-
cant than ours even to speak of it. Growing
tip, like the sons of the forest, unacquainteld
with the great principles of human conduct
and human riglrts,un-acqtraiuted with the sub
litne rules of life and spirit of freedom which
come from the Gospel,—open to the machin-
ations of every ambitious partisan, and ready
to give their voice for any measure which be
may recommend, they will send back upon us
an influence more destructive than the incur-
sions of Goths and Vandals,-—tirore deadly
in its course than thesiroc ofAfrica,——more
to be dreaded than the hand that has hitherto
sealed the fate offree governments. With us
power and character are in the hands of the
people. But ifthis fotrntain is corrupt,it will
send forth only poisoned streams. And where
these streams conrmingle in our halls of legis-
lation,tlreir exhalations will breed only irrlec-
tion pestilence, and death.
We have seen that the only safety of a re-
public lies in the iufluerrce of knowledge and
Christianity. Brit unless institutions,designed
to diffuse knowledge and religious principles,
are multiplied among rrs, as new settlements
are formed ;—unless their influence is made
to keep pace with the increase of wealth amt
population, this safety will no longer be ours.
And when we have not this, we have no safe
ty. This is no dubious position. It rests not
on theory, but on experiment ;——experirueut
purchased at no cournron price; and the re-
sult stands out as clear as any position in phi-
losopby. What patriot, then, what friend of
liberty, will not pant to engage in the emer-
prize of. giving schools, acatlenries, colleges,
and churches to the rising cotnrrrrrnities in the
West and South. VN bar patriot, what friend
of liberty will not feel a noble exultation to
enrba k his fortune in an eutt-rprise so glori-
ous, rather than step out a little upntr the tri-
rrrre, and bear the historian saying of us—-
./imerica was.
But, in what I have said, wy find only part
ofthe ground, on which my argument rests.
'l‘nus far it is an appeal in our own behalf, 8!.
in behalfofour common country. It comes
.-ttso,in behalf ofour brethren in the lVest and
South. It comes from them. With those
mighty interests in view,whicb,in their rniuds,
cluster round an immortal spirit, they are cal-
ling for the bread of life. The call comes,
not from aliens who never heard of the
God of Israel, but from those who once
worshipped with us;—from those who remem-
ber the stillness with which the morning ofa
New England Sabbath opens, when every
breeze seems hushed, listening to the songs
of the worshippers, and bearing the incense
of their devotion to the skies. It comes fro.»
those who feel all the tenderness of parental
solicittrde-—who look at their children group-
ed arouud them, antl at the prospects oftlrose
children, till tlreit aged eye begins to swim in
tears ; and then, hoping against hope,they ask
for help to save the rising generation froru ig-
rrorarice and ruin.
There is oneirnportant reason why these
calls should be heard, and heard now. It is,
that in very extensive portions of couutry,rrot
only individual, but public character is in a
forming state. Not only are individuals and
lanrilies,ready to receive any character which
circumstances may impress upon them, but
.-.chools, academies, colleges, and institutions
ofevery kind, public opinion and sentiment,
habits, manners, modes of thinking, living, 8:.
acting,-—ail are waiting to be moulded by the
forruurg hand ofthe friends of liberty and re-
ligion. Such is the infant state of society,
that a man of prudence‘uright very soon im-
press his individual character on half a state.

LANDING or THE HLGRIMS.
VVe nretitrorred, some time since, that M:.
Caustcr, a celebrated sculptor, was employed
on some of the pieces intended to eurbellish
the Rotunda of the Capitol. On the panuei
over the door, opening at the Eastern Portico,
he has just finished a ffrrreprece ofwork. The
aUI)jt2CI.Uf lrisclrrssel'rs‘tlre landing of the Pil-
grims on Plyruourh Rock. The groupe con-

countenance of the Pilgrim,-who appears to

aboriginal features form afine -contrast to

for deliverance from the strfferings and hard-
ships ofthe voyage, stands the wife with a
child near her, wlrose countenance also bears
marks of those “ watchings _and‘_fastings”
shared in common with the. intrepid band.——
We are itrclined to ‘think that the prominent
features of the Pilgrim the befit executed in
the groupe, though we are aware that the In-
dian, who is a very striking object in the corn-
positiod of the picture frotn his brawny form
and his peculiar position on the rock, appears
in bolder relief, and may by many, be ‘viewed
with mostgratification. Some ofthe planks
onithe scaffolding not being removed, we had
not a ftrll view ofthe execution ofthe rock
and water ; btrt, on the whole, the piece has a
litre eflect. It is stated in the History ofNew
England, and it may norbe out of place here
to repeat it, that the identical rock on which
the Pilgrims first landed, has been divided,
and one part ofit placed in the centre of the
town of Plymouth, where it is known by the
name of “ Forefarher’s Rock,” and is Visited
with a degree of verreration by strangers.
Mr. Causici has we understand, commenc-
ed another piece, on the pannel ofthe Soutlr-
eru entrance ofthe Rotunda, the design of
which appears as far as can be ascertained
from a very rough outline, to be Boon cort-
teuding with two Indians.
The subject for the pannel over the West-
ern entrance, is from the story ofCapt. Smith
and Pocahontas ; and that intended to be ex-
ecuted over the \Vestern entrance, is to be a
representation of Penn making a treaty with
the Itrdians. The interstices of the rotunda
are ernbellislred by beautiful and apropriate
carving.
THE CONDESCENDING AND KIND-nr:AIt'i‘En
NOBLEMAN.
In one._of the morning excursions ofJohn
duke ofI3edford, about the year 1765, be ob-
served a woman at a short distance from him,
wringing her hands, weeping aloud, and dis-
covering every mark of the deepest distress.
Moved with sympathy, he immediately ap-
proached her, desired her to dry up her tears,
and tell hiru the cause of her sorrow ; pronr
ising at the same time, to do her all the serv-
ice in his power. Seeing a man in a plain
genteel dress looking at her with an air of be
rerigrrity, and interesting hirrrselfin her suffer-
rngs, and being entirely ignorant of his rank,
she communicated her story to him without
reserve. “I have (said she) a large fatnily-;
my husband is sick, and being unable to pay
not rent, the duke of Bedford’s steward has
seized our stock, and left us nothing but the
dismal prospect of unavoidable ruin ; and I
came out to take my last sad sight of nry poor
cowc,whiclr are still feeding in the park there.”
Deeply affected with her melancholy tale, be
advised her,to drive the cows borne, and of-
fered lrimselfto set open the gate for that pur-
pose. At this proposal. she started, burst a-
gain into tears, and refused to meddle with
tlretn. “They are no longer my husband’s,”
said she ; “and ifI drive them home I shall
be_ looked upon as a thief; and, for any thing
Ikuow, may, be hanged for it.” Forcibly
struck with life justice of her reasoning, and
the simplicity of her language, he gave her
some ruoney, told her that be heartily pitied
her, and would take the liberty to reconrmend
her and her fatnily to the Duke of Bedford,
and he hoped he would do something valuable
for her. Accordingly he desired her to call
next day at Woburnabbey, and ask for John
Rttssel, and he would introduce her to the
Duke, and speak to him in her behalf. Tire
good woman having returned him many
thanks, and promised to meet hitn at the time
and place appointed, they parted.
’ Next day, dressed itr her best clothes, the
poor wotuan went to the abbey and asked for
John Russel ;' she was shewn into a room, and
told that Mr. Russel would be with her imme-
diately. She had not waited long when sev-
eral gentlemen richly dressed entered the
room. Sue knew at first sigirt the features of
him who had conversed with her the day be-
fore; and strongly impressed with the idea
ofbis being the duke lrimself‘, she was ready
to faint with surprise ; buthis grace walked
up to her with a look of condescension and
goodness, which re-animated her drooping
spirits, while he assured her, that she had no
cause to be afflicted, but might keep herself
perfectly easy. I-Ie their called his steward,
ordered hitn to write a receipt in full, and to
see every thing returned that had been taken
from her husband. His grace then put the
receipt into her hand, and told her, that he
had inquired itrlo her husband’s character,and
found that he was a very honest man and had
long been his tenant ; atrd giving her thirty
guineas, Ire desired her to go,honre and re-
juice with her family. What pleasure can
equal the lrtxury ofdoing good ?
OLIVER CROMWELL.
There is a circumstance related ofCrom-.
well, which, in the refiuernent of policy as
well as in malevolence, is scarcely to be par-
allelled in history. When Cardinas was aur-
bassador in England from the court of Spain,
though he was treated with marks of uucorn-
mon attention by Cromwell, he could never
be prevailed upon to betray any state secrets,
or to enter into any measures whatever itr fa-
vor ofthe Prutcclor’s views ; yet still the lat-
ter was too cunning for lmn, for while he was
making great naval preparations for a war a-
gainst Spain, he had the address to make its
minister believe that the fleet was destined for
another prrtpose; and in this manner he amu-
sed him, till the burning ofthe galleons by
Blake, opened his eyes. Cardinas resented
this so uruch,that when he was recalletl, he
traversed every proposal of Crotnwell’s at the
court oflladrid, so well that while he remain-
rrot likely to carry any point. He therefore
determined on the destruction ofthis uunrster,
though it was no easy matter to effect tlri.-, as
his credit was great , not only with the king
ins mastei, brrtnwrtlr the whole Spanish court.-
Cromwell, lroviiever, conceived a way WIIICII
he thought would effectually accomplish hrs
rum ; and to putit itr execution, he sent for
.me keeper ofNew-gate, and asked him many
questions concerning the qualifications of his
urlforerrt prisoners, and,among the rest, wish-
ed to know whetlrerhe had in custody any re-
markable for house-breaking. Tire gaoler
told him, there was a fellow under sentence
of death, that he believed could get, in or out
ed there in office, the Protector found he was _
\
of any house in the world, his hands were at l
liberty. ‘The Protector ordered‘ this man to
was such a miserable wo-begone wretch, that
Cromwell stood astonished at the sight of
him, and more so at the specimens of his art,
which he practised at the instance ofthe keep-
er, on locks of the most curibus corttrivance ;
these, though of different forms, be readily o-
penetl, and said, there never was a lock made
that he would not undertake to open in the
same manner. The keeper was then ordered
to withdraw,_a'nd the Protector, after some
private discourse with the thief,remanded him
to Ne wgate, under the satire guard which
brought him. But at the dead of night, he
sent a trusty person to Newgate, with a war-
rant to the keeper for the prisoner’s release,
and orders to bring him again into his pres-
ence to receive some instructions. When the
fellow came the second time, the Protector
showed him the plan ofa garden and pavilion,
into which he was to make his way by open-
ing a certain number oflocks, each of which
had three keys; and then be asked him, if he
thought he could effect it, promising hitu not
only a free pardon, but a considerable reward
for his pains. The titan said he would. The
protector told him, that he should be con-
ducted to the place where the service was I0
be perfortned, and then Ire would have a letter
given him, which be was to drop under a ta-
ble that he would find in the middle of the
pavilion,as there represented in the plan.-
This was all the fellow was intrusted with,
and care was taken to provide him with suit-
able apparel, and every thing necessary for
his journey, and the service he was about to
perform ; so that he no sooner received his in-
structions,than he was hurried ofl'immediate-
ly, and put on board the vessel that was to
carry him to Spain. The person to whose
care he was intrusted, had his instructions
likewise ; but as the other did not know where
he was to be carried, so the other was not
acquainted with the business ofhis compan-
run, when he had brduglrt hint to the appoint-
ed place, and given him the letter,but was in-
stantly to leave him to himself, and repair to
Venice with another letter, which he was to
deliver to the English envoy there. Each of
these performed his service punctually. The
letter which the felon carried, was addressed
to Don Cardenas, Secretary of State __lo the
King of Spnin, and was written in English
with Cromwell’s own hand, thanking lritn for
the care he had taken to perform his engage-
ments, and acquairtring bitu that the twenty
thousand pounds sterling which had been
stipulated, was lodged in the bank ‘of Venice
for his use, and that he might draw for it
whenever Ire pleased. Thisletter, as Crom-
well had foreseen, was picked up by the king,
whose cu_stom was to repair to that pavilion
every morning, to deliberate on the affairs of
the nation, and to read despatclres as well as
to receive the assistance ofthe council. The
King knowing the hand, but not understand
lug the contents, was greatly alarmed, and
sent immediately for the English agent, who
read the letter to his Majesty, but protested
his ignorance as to any secret intelligenrebe-
tween Cardenas and his master, who, he said,
was of such a temper as never to intrust a
second person with things ofthat nature.-—
This increased his Majesty’s apprehensions;

THE high reputation that Arvm:nsoN’s

I
and when the corrncil assetnbled, Cardenas
was ordered to withdraw, and the letter was
produced by the Kitrg, with an account ofits
contents, and the manner of finding it ; ad-
ding, that Cardenas was, indeed, the last man
that sat there except his Majesty, the evening
before it was found. All unanimously pro-
notroced him atraitor; and his whole con-
duct while at the English court was recalled
to mind, and urged as a proof ofit; but his
Majesty, whose affection for him was sincere,
was unwilling to judge so rashly of him with-
out further evidence, and knowing the artifi-
cers ofcourtiers to disgrace or supplant one
another in their prince’s favour, and that it
might not be impossible but that some other
ofthe council might counterfeit such a letter,
and drop it there with a design of ruining
Cardetrart, proposed to trace the affair tothe
bottour before passing sentence, by sending
to Venice to know if such a precise sum was
lodged in the bank there, by whom lodged
and for whose use. His Majesty’s proposal
was thought reasonable, and a messenger was
tmurediately dispatched to the Spanish min-
ister at Venice, to make strict inquiry into
the above particulars. The messenger re-
turned, and brotrghr with him the original or-
der,dated the same day will: the letter to Car-
denas, written with the same hand, and, to re-
move all suspiciou,sealed with the Pt'ulector’s
own seal. There now remained no farther
doubt: Cardenas was infarnously degraded,
but his Majesty, on account of his great age
and long services, tho’t fit to spare his life.
Mr. Hume, a member of the British Par-
lrarrrent, has recently called the attention of
t'bat body to the rmrnolation of widows in the
East Indies. Duritrg the last year 3,400 wid-
ows were oflicially returned as having sacrifi-
ced themselves on the dead bodies of their

this medicine. The fact that they have now

Mr. J. MELLEN: Sir—Ifyoo think the fol‘
lowing statement of my case worth publish-
iug, you are at liberty so to do.
dle of August, 1811!, I was seized with a vio-‘
lent pain in my breast which terminated in 8’
or I0 days in an ulcer or abcessbwlricb dis-
chargeda vast quantity of matter attended
wrtlra violent cough and spitting blood, this
continued trtrril sortie time in November fol.
lowing. In the interim new ulcer-s gathered.-
and discharged ; which reduced melvery fast,
I made application to the physicians but to
no effect : by the above nreutioued ti"tne‘, No-
vember, I was reduced to the last stage of
earthly existence, when I heard of‘ A-rider-
son’s Cough Drops,’I accordingly purchased
and made use of them, which soon gave me
relief,and after taking them regularly about
three months, to the astoriislttrrent of all my
neighbors, I gained my health and soundness;
therefore I feel in duty bound to say that I
believe said Drops to be the best medicine
that was ever introduced itrto the world for7
complaints ofthe lungs. Josuua. Baonorrr.

wife of M r. IVatlran Huntington,,living in the-
sameplace was afflicted with a verybad cough
