in froulstreet kincston u c saturday august 6 1831 to tk editor of the kingston chronicle mb chronicle m truth it mighty and will prevail- but we must also ad mit that ferror is mighty in it ravages up- oo the human family and that it has at various periods id the history of our race achieved astonishing consequences over it the respective weapons of truth and falsehood are both wielded by human hands and thestandards under which the opposite corabatanu marshal themselves are unfurled by the same because of hu man iofirmily and proneness to error ma ny wrong movements may be made under the banners of truth many partial and oblique views may be entertained and pur sued and many offences may be given which will retard the lime ofhernal tri umph but that such a time will come that the human family on earth will one day rejoice in such a glorious consumma tion i think we have assurances of the most explicit character the author of truth and justice has foretold it he has committed the means of its accomplish ment to rnankiod and he ha promised eventually to crown their warfare with a plorious triumph to doubt it then wod be to doubt them who cannot lie on the other band the enemies of truth and partisans of falsehood borrow from that cause which tbey are leagued to over throw they steal weapons from the ar mory of truth with which to pierce ber frieods they label their dark designs and the implements of mischief with ber pure gold beaten to the slenderest tenuity on the anvils of deception and under the hammers of malice and hypocrisy and they filch tire from her altars with which to burn her temples to the ground and le vel hor fair towers with the dust- slill 11 truth is mighty and will prevail oot- lvirhslanding their rage and malice the means of establishing the suprema cy of truth and effectuating the general homage of mankind is religion gov ernmeut aod education they are the tbi ure moral apparatus for this great conquest over error delusion fraud and violence and forestahlishiog true and ra tional irhertv on a just and secure jasw violence and forestahlishiog true and ra tional liberty on a just and secure basis the true philosopher considers these as different forma and attributes of the same principle the various modes of that eter nal and simpl lie that uoites man to his creator and by whose aid he cooforms himself to the jaws nod dispensations of his provideore religion government and education are coessential and indi visible like those mechanical powers which are formed by a combination of the others they cannot exist separated the present efforts to separate them and erect each into a dynasty by itself to divide and distract the human family and tyrannize over them aod to war against distress and enfeeble each other can only coavert their separate resources into engines of mutual destruction and carry desolation into each others usurped province- it is like divid ing the trinity of the godhead into three separate and unconnected existences each holding a province of peculiaraud secluded osr aod dividing amoog them as under the roman triumvirate the triple destiny of each individual human creature name ly his government or allegiance his re demption or means of happiness and his snnctification orthe instating him in holi ness aud feliciry and if i mistake not this atheistic scheme ofschism aod separa tion and destruction has originated with those who had rejected the doctrioeof the trioity but i am not sufficiently ac quainted with theological controversy to determine this scheme of division being antisoci al founded on individual opinion and wrwfrv pves the amplest scope to m dis honesty ftihtkoou nd wfrtmwmfty f tfre neverfailing characteristics of the dema gogue aod his factions its first and most direct tendency is to divide patronage aod influence and scatter them among the crafty and ambitions and by this means divide civil society into warring fac tions competition and rivalry in religi on politics aod education are set up and speculating jobbers are invited into the a- rena of contention as into a mart of wares and merchandize scheming politicians seek the favor of the holders of sectarian influence religious demagogues grasp at the educatioo of the young as a matter in its nature distinct and independent both of religion and government with the view of strengthening their own religious faction aod the peddlers in education will seek employment t the hands of political and religiousfsction and lick the dust of their feet for their patronage and to crown all they will all play as did the roman triumvirate a deep game of hypocrisy fraud aod violence upon each other till at last the most clever villain cuts down his opponents with tbe swnrd or rivets a chain of iron upon their occks- the no principle system of educatioo will be very unprinci pled and prove itself the eoemy of both religion and government the present state of affairs iu the land of jonathan if appearance aro not amazingly deceptive is rapidly verging to such a crisis lo ad dition to what i have laid before your read ers concerning them i am enabled to say that iu the state of massachusetts the di rection of the resources of public educa tion has nearly all fallen into tho hands of the unitarians and it ought to be re membered that about the middle of last century the english ijnitariaus attempted a union of their body in points of faith with tho grand mufti at constantinople- be fore mo now lies au american paper from which i copy the following

exemplification of saint eger- tons invaluable exposition of the kiogs answer to tbe archbishop and clergy of the dioceso of canterbury which lays down tho doctrine that if the people will it the government is under obligation to establish atheism as the state religion for tho bo does not name the last men tioned creed yet thedoctrine he has laid down as the rule ofthe kings conduct io paying implicitobedience to the will ofthe people io matters of national faith most comprehensively embraces it it is then sufficiently evident that in the state of massachusetts the government has scarce any hold upon the affections of the people by that thing which we term allegiance with them it has degenerated into a bastard affection or has been trans ferred from the government and divided a moogst religious tactions which select tbeir favourites to fill public offices without re gard to any purely political consideration the question is not which politics shall prevail but which creed shall engross pub- licpatronage the government strictly speaking is destitute of influence and pa tronage because it holds none of their principal sources in its hands instead of the government exercising influence and patronage aod attaching the hearts of tbe people to itself as to something partaking of the character of paternity and holding in its hands parental authority and tbe means of protection the order of things is completely inverted and the fortress of ad ministration is rather regarded as a thing to be won by political gamblers for party purposes and the lottery wheel is tho will oft iiiec r run jn amll nfttferuus fruttiani and sectarian ambition are tbe jugglers which turn up the blanks and tho prizes the state is no object of legitimate allegiance because the people are enlisted under the banners of rival and contending creeds aod the creed which happens to draw a prize in tbe political lottery cannot secure to itself eveo the show of a legal monopoly of influence and patronage without an ac tual usurpation and the subjugation of all the other creeds these remarks will ap ply to tbe whole union and their force in such an application may be seen on a re ference to the case of tbe secretary of state and the pope of rome io my letter treating thereof i repeat it tbe govern ment of the uoited states has no paternal character nothing in it to attract and at tach the affections of the people as recipro cal between parent and cbild there is no majesty among them but the majesty of the people no voice but the voice of the people in their universal suf frage no rule for popularity hunters but the will ofthe people and in all pub lic acts it is the people this and the people that to be sure there is a chair of state but it is the object of ambition for every ahred of this mob majesty which may be possessed of sectional popularity and ca pable of wielding the tools of intrigue hence we witness a scene like that of a large family of brothers who had deposed their father and agreed to supply bis place in turn by short intervals as this or that faction in the family should predominate not forgettiog that they also at tbe deposi tion ofthe father abjured the family reli gion assumed the principle that each indi vidual should of right fabricate his own creed and maintain his own system of ec clesiastical polity uouided by the resources of the common stock which presently ex cites numberless family quarrels and gives birth to new political biases and factions for each religious party becomes seized with tho spirit of ecclesiastical conquest and commences a war of proselyting exter mination upon all the rest this destitution of fraternity and reci procal filial attachment under the north american republic forcibly reminds me of a passage in boswclls life of dr john son johnson said a roadman loves to he with people whom he fears not as dogs fear tbe lash but of whom ho stands in awe i was struck says boswell with the justice of this observation to be with those of whom a person whose mind is wavering and dejected stands in awe represses and composes an uneasy tumultof spirits and consoles dim with the contemplation of something steady and at least comparativoly great oh how true how oxteosivcly true and applicable to human affairs popular tumults and excitements long kept up m the maduess of tbe people reduces the public miod to a condition like the maniacs it is conti nually barrassed and perplexed by rival aud contending factions it is continually in a stale of uncertainty and feverish excite ment the wish for party predominance creates the hope for it and the hope gives energy aod efficiency to intrigue and as maduess is frequently accompanied with the most subtle and serpentine cunning we find the snakes of democracy as beguiling as the one that insinuated his slimy folds into thegarden of paradise still the ma jesty of the people what a term of satauic derision yo shall he as gods with all its majesty and omnipotence feels and ex periences deeply tho unconscious ofthe cause the fulness of boswelps remark they feel the necessity of contemplating something steady aud they select their popular idols as something great beneath whose shadow they can repose for a brief space and whom they can regard as the centre of their present wishes but no sooner has this idol which mob majesty and omnipotence had set up and com manded their fellows to follow in his train attained the summit of popular favor than the beau which idolized him is satiated with possession and the breath which ex alted turns upon him with the blast of death and because the public mind must have some visible object on which to rest or ra ther lo attract its attention aod give it em- and the three re ally bear away tho palm ifl loose liherty ends in corruption and anarchy the last act of which is military letism- lord bacon io his ezenplu tractates de fontibus juris aphor says the ultimate object which legtsteors ought to have iu view and to which all their enact ments and sanctions ought to be subservi ent is that the citizens ntftjf fw happily for this purpose it is necesary that they should receive a religious

where there is no state religionnod where the government making that religion the basis of moral instruction and the source of loyal ty does not provide for and superintend the entire education ofthe

and creed and that education should partake of the same and flow out of rcligiou look at the jew ish polity and you see the practical exem plication of these principles the two first duties of the state towards its subjects were to secure them from the danger of foreign invasion and to traio them by education in the national faith in order to the virtuous and peaceable enjoyment of national free- dom and security the thing is as possible now as ii was then we have the same materials arouod us the same moral truths in our hands and are under the samo moral necessities for such a slate of national effici ency for national good that they were lnnk even at sparta among the states of greece under the disadvantages of a false religion what gave her that settled pre dominance over her neighbours but the fix ed character of her institutions and her care of tho educatioo of her people athens to bo sure had more refinement and pro duced greater men and was sometimes her superior in strength and influence but athens lacked lhe moral and political sta- mioa of her rival was less uniform in her kreaioess and more open to tho designs of ambitious aspirants but if christianity has a right to predo minate over all other systems it must bea system io opposition to the modern semi- a church and system of religion to suit him self than which there never was a gross er he charged on the scriptures from which tbe assertions of the notion pretend to draw it for if the union and joint coopera tion of religion government and educa tioo be necessary to a truly christian slate and if it is right that christian princi ples both moral and political should ex clusively predominate under such a system aod if it is possible to discover religious and political truth aod combine them there- iu as tho spring and principles of political and moral life and prosperity it must al so be right if such a system be established in any country for it to keep ihe posses sion and management of
