“I don’t know exactly what yoit moan,
Mr. Bailtam, by every tltii-tg venerable
and sacred. If yott nieatt abuses that
have grown sacred by long proscripti_ori;
follies coitsecraetl by time, and institu-
tions that have become venerable, like ru-
ined edifices, because they no longer an-
swer the end oftheir creation ; if you rc-
fer to these, I doit’t believe that they can
or willisurvive the adoption of a single
feature in the system of equality. I ad-
mit the difiiculty and danger of abolishing
the distinction of ranks in countries where
it has long prevailed ; where every step
aitd stage in life is graduated by the lad-
dcr of precedence ; and where the peo-
ple, from education and long habit have
lost all other criterion of respect or rever-
ence, but that of mere rank and title.-—
Here, however, in this country, it is quite
difleicnt; habit ai.d education have pre-
pared thetit to estimate other claims ; and
though they may still retain sonte vesti-
ges oftlte ancient delusion fa respect to
iliese things, there is nothing on the earth
which they would so soon resist as a per-
son who should coitte and demand as a
right any privilege or precedence, merely
on the score of his title.”

“Very well, very well, sir. but you will
yet live to see the futility of these notions
that all men are equally wise. equally vir-
tuous, rqually brave; and that therefore
they must of necessity be outdo equally
rich, cqtiaiiylionoraitle, and equal in all
respects to their rulers.”

“From England, sir, from my own

"I doit’t exactly seehow your experi-
ence can have any application to England,
because she has never tried the system of
equality, and can therefore know nothing
of its iinpracticability, or its ruinous effects
if it were practicable.”

"Why, sir, don’t we every day see the
consequences of the mob getting upper.

“That is just because there is no equal-

It is the sense of inequality, and its atten.

dtice these violent eruptions of popular
discontent. Ifyou choose to call the peo-

You dort.'t see any mobs in Kentucl;y,noi-

dear sir, our policy is not founded on the

nftlie system of Providence, which hath
ordained that tlteie shall ever subsist a
difference in the activity and capacity of
mankind, as well as in the opportunity,
and tltc results of their exercise. Every
body knows that it is impossible to regu-

one will be wiser, richer, happier than att-

by the laws, over which we ourselves have

There is not here, as in many, I may say
in all parts of the old world, one law for

ENGLISH ORTHROGRAPHY.
Proman Essay by Dr. Wm." R. Weeks, read before
‘ the American Lyceum.

Near twenty years ago, I saw it book in
which it tvasproposed to begin with teach-'
ing children in pronounce syllables, iii-
stead ofcalliog the names of the letters.-—
When my oldest child was of suitable age
to begin to read, I resolved to try the ex-
periment. I prepared some lessons with
my pen,and began. But I ltatl not pro-
ceeded far, before the child bimselfan:tl_v-
zed the syllable, and told me what part of
lhe Cvmziottnd sound belonging to each
letter. I-then suffered‘ hint to_learn the
whole alplitib.-t in the same way, calling
each letter by its sound, and _itot by its
ni mo ; which be very readily did. And
though I ltad lotirned from books, that “ a
rritite cannot bosouitilml at all, without the
aid ofa vowel,” this little child taught me
that the niutcs, as well its other letters,
could have all the sound given to them it-
loiie, that they can have when joined to a

FLANNEL.

Some persons there are, and well es-
teemed in the world,wlio like not the sen-
suiiou produced by the contact of flannel
and their owtt skin ; titen of prudence in
worldly affairs, who yet do not calculate
the chances in matters of health or of life
and death ; men, who having present
health, seem to have a lease oflife for three
score years and ten, of which may be not

express wonder, perhaps that nteii will
peril life on ilte high seas, or that they
will venture to dwell in cities ititder the
line where plague and fever sluy their
thousands. , '

. ALCOHOL. _

In an 0x'raCt front another work inser-
tcd in it l-rte IlUlIllJel"0l‘ the Lyceumi ‘"1
the stilijoct offermenatioii, it was remark-
ed that substtiitces, during the process Ol
formoiitation, underwent three changes, or
stages of ferinentatiatn ; the first vinious or,
producing spirit, the second pcetous, or
pr:-duciog acid, the third putntd, _or putri-
fac ivc, or ending in- putritaction. A
clizinge previous to either oftltcsci “PP"-3'5

formed. . The change here referred to, is
so obvious, and so entirely distinct frotn
either oftlic others, that the most Careless
observer itiust have noticed i‘.

It seems to us then, that the first change
produced by fermentation, in many cases
at least, is the formation ofsugar ; the sec-
oitd the destruction of the sugar, and the
formation ofalcoliol; the third the destrttc-
tioti of the alcohol, and the formation of
vinegar ; and the fourth the destruction of
of the acid and ending in putrifaction.

Alcohol, then, is always produced:
whether in beer, cider, wine, brandy, gin,
or any other kind ofspirits, by the process
offeiinentation carried on in sugar : in
other words sugar is fernir-iited aitd des-
troyed, alcohol formed. It appetits not
to be material from what source the sugar
is obtained; whether from cane, the nia-
ple tree, Vegetation as in malt, or a prayi-
ous step of fermentation, as in grain for-lgiit,
in the apple and many other substat_tces.--

ples, pears, and peaches are fermented
witltsiniilar results, as in grain, but the
spirit is known by the name of cider, per-
ry, and after distilling, by cider brandy,
peach brandy, &.c. _

It seen 5 iher, ha:Alcoliol is always pro-
duced by the fermentation of sugar, and
the ferntentatioii aitd destruction of sugar
always produces alcohol, whether it is
found in beer, cider, perry, wine, cordials,
turn, or any other form.

Alcohol may also be fermented when
greatly dilluted, and aided by yeast, when
ihatis changed into an acid. The acetous
fermentaiionis more difficult to carry on,
and less rapid than the vinious; it is cveit
so easily excited, and so difficult to check,
that it frequently passes its bounds and
produces an acid. Hence the tendency
of cider, beer aitd wines to become sour.

This product oftlie action of oxigen up-
on other substances, is by no means con-
fined to the few articles commonly recog-
nized as containing spirit or- alcohol.-—
There is some i-easoit to believe that in
the decay ofaniittal and vegetable substan-
ces generally, there is more or less alcohol
produced. G Even in marshes and in all
collections ofstagnaitt water, before the
putrifactive process commences, may al-
cohol be produced.

Alcohol, as a servant, is kind, -faithful,
and exceedingly useful in many of the
arts; but,“as a master, it is a cruel and
unrelenting tyrant. Whatever science or

not prove that tobacco was made to eat
or rum to drink.
‘Though neither alcohol nor melted lead
were designed for driiik, botlt are useful
in tlte arts. As it cltetnical agent, alcohol
is active and important. No substitute
could probably supply its place for pro-
ducing heat in many cases in cliemical
experitiieitts; and it is convenient for
the same purpose in many cases in the
arts. _
As a solvent too, it is extensively use-
ful both in science and the arts. Nothing
would probably supply its place to ‘batters
