Such conduct is ridiculous and deplorable. Ought not the heart of every honest Man to Cut High with indignation on Ruding so pitiful a defence ? does it not at the same time furnish a theme for the most melancholy reflection upon the aberrations of the human in ind or rather the depravity of the human heart in an age when w Riters supposed that they could with no Small share of glory publish their foul and Dis organizing calumnies to the world 1 what indignity is not thus Flung upon the ashes of the most illustrious among men by imputing to the sincere ardent yet Humble adores of the divinity certain sentiments which their souls abhorred every judicious discerned Trust at once perceive that the unfortunate to Koms quis Contra nos ? in goo be for it a saturday november atheist is afraid of himself. He strives to Pluck up courage from his misery and to oppose it to overwhelming Powers of conscience. He hears the voice of the universe raised against him and in Bis confusion and dismay he endeavours to bring up to his Aid the most Brilliant name of past time. Terror leads him Astrov and confounds his reason and thus without proofs in the Verv face of evidence historical Faith and indisputable facts in opposition to their substantial Virtues the result of their Creed the zealous pious worshippers of deity Are by i distorted imagination transformed into atheists. The history of the last fifty years hears testimony to such a lamentable result. With what desolation has not the Demon spirit of impiety smitten the Earth the tombs of the great and the Good were polluted their very memories were outraged in truth we know not which of the two abominations is More revolting the sacrilegious robbers who exhumed the venerable remains of humanity and exposed them to the licentious insults of in infuriated mob or the impious prof Nurs of Genius and virtue who invoke greatness and Sanctity to shield them from the infamy the execration of atheism. Enough has been said upon the universality of the Faith of Mankind concerning the divinity. Our second proposition is that this Faith must proceed from nature and unclouded reason. Now that the belief in a god is established by the Universal Faith of the human family we ask whence is it derived ? docs it emanate from prejudice or passion ? or does it originate in nature and reason ? what then is this doctrine a Man May naturally say to himself which is More ancient than the earliest records of history which has subjected to its salutary influence the Savage the Sage and the Saint which has triumphed Over revolutions that changed the face of the Earth which is Felt in the l a Wiio is against i s a i Ulm.

In moral and in mind let Ocean tear them asunder let exterminating War Crimson their Fields amidst the War shouts of a rattling world yet with its a god i their Standard of Kami upheld by Zorh land in defence of Ilia name.
