Yet I may be mistaken; there may be those amongst us who would thus submit. If there be such, and we do submit, we richly deserve U. be nailed down like btse money. We have neither the spirit nor the power of free men; we sink to the service of a slave as to a legitimate inheritance. I think, my friends, there is something here that is paramount to a love of men.. There is a devotion to principle, to which the love of men must always yield. Let us then look to those principles and defend them, or cease to act for ourselves.

On Thursday evening, Mr. Reynolds delivered, in compliance with a request from a great number of citizens, a third lecture on the theory of tbc Earth, in the Meeting House of Dr. Laurie, which was till d by a mnst respectable and attentive audience. The favourable impressions made at his former lectures were confirmed by the last; and but a single opinion seemed to prevail as to the propriety of furnishing an outfit for an ex

ipedition to the unexplored regions of the

; South. This disposition manifested itself ' at the close of the lecture, in a spirited and . liberal commencement of a subscription in j aid of the perilous but honorable enter
