THE STANDARD

RADICALISM. ! Radicalism always discloses still greater destitu-; tion of moral than intellectual excellencies. There j is a cla:is of graceful virtues, which constitute a i kind of code of honor, designed to regulate the de- j nieattor of i.u; erf. it beings towards each other J and to soften the ano'ities to which their society

is liable.

It does no; diminish the motive to human effort, but 01.lv quells every disquieting feeling, and inducis over the mind of the truly pious philanthropist a calm and peaceful resignation. How opposite to this is the frame and temper of' the turbulent ref'ormei! Ho is not less agited himself than the agitator of others.

How often do they ?pe;-.k of w hat they have done, are doing, or are about to do; to change the state of society, without any 10ference, expressed or remotely imj to th power by which alone any change for the better ever has been or can be wrought. It has been said of some modern idfidel philosophers, that they were accustomed to speak as confident about the nature of things and to seem to know as much about the laws of being, as if they had assisted in making the world And, it may be said wi'b e.ju.d truth of some of our modern reformers, that they are wont to carry themselves as lofily with respect to the existing state and coming destiny of the world, as though they assisted m governing it. and had enthroned themselves beside the Monarch of the universe. Deeming their allotted sphere of the duty too private and inconsiderable for their superior powers, they seek, a larger stage, where they may act their part in view of the' world.

Wlien Pmsia itself became a rrovii.ee in ! the empire of tho Caliph? of Mohammed, the Armenians only changed mas'ers. After sufloring tor a time their heavy hand. Armenia became a bone of contention botwien the Arabian prosecu tors ami the Emperors of Constantinople. Claimipr ! - ti e to the arms ot om it I disobedience by the other, and was a: most e.jtiady ! devastated by the orthodox Creeks and the Infidel Arabs. Two or three hundred Years after these event-- v.it i mi n.t ti.ti trnko forth from Central . Asia, that ncMti of Nomadic hord s. and under- i miiiin-r successively the wails of J'aadad and of Constantinople, spread over Armenia the foreign 1 race, which occupies and oppresses it (with the exception of some parts) at the present day. During ail this dark period, amid so much persecution of a purely Religious kind, as well as so much political tyranny, the Armenians retained the profession of Christianity: and although convents, and relics ttul legendary, and scholastic booKS, and inCl'C ilible miracles, and disputes about councils. and the ambition and rivalry Caihiloioses and Rishops, gave proof of the low state of Religion, stiil we find some food for charity in beholding the unyielding steadfastness with which Magian and Mahomedan persecutions were endured to the loss of property, o) liberty, ami often of life. And even alter this first terrible eruption of the Turks, w ion Ghcngis-Khan, and then Tamerlane the ross the tnounGroat traced their bloody track ac tains of Armenia, displacing the Turkish swarms, 1 but not relieving their iniseiah'.e victim; and further, even after this, when Abbas the Great of Persia, one of Armenia's worst tyrants, collected her o noiiV ndin g inhabitants together in the plain of Arrarat, and drove them like so many cattle to Per-ia. even then, and even now, under the yoke of Tui kish bondage, they still believe in the tnu God, and our Lord .' Christ, olial! all these things be sai l of 'hem. and they not be to us the objects of affectionate regard.' Resides all this, the Armenians are at the pre sent time a numerous people, an. I a people naturally intelligent iu a verv high degree. We can distinguish them from the men of any other nation here, not only by tlieir deep, but by their clear ireheads, and the dignity of their whole appearance. Some have race of men" in this Eastis quirk, but the Armecalled them 'the noble.-; em wOild. The Circe' au ardent Prenchm: the Armenian a coo' deliberate E:igii.-hman. Th'-y b we ihO, so much Li.j,ot:y as the Greek, nor so much pride as th" Moslem, nor so much obstinacy as the .lew. Tlieir language is copious and i:osoi mic.U in a verv high degree. their "1 native country is a very fine one. You know we have reason to belive that the garden of' Eden was situated within its limits, and there Mount Arrarat was honored as the resting place ofNoah's Ark. In this city and in Constantinople, the Ar meriians are to a cor.sidcrablo extent men of weait ttl. -o; ic ol Liem are merchants oi immense resources. Should we not love the Artrenians. in whom centre so many attractive qualiiies? Should we not be greatly interested in the enlightening of a nation of so great resources, and fitted to wield so extensive an inrileuce' What delightful e fleets the Gospel, restored would exhibit iLinong to its primitive simplicity nr'i a people! Whatahenehcial iniluenee their elevation would exert over the Moslem, ami over all the population of Asia! If we are to judge of' the Armenians, however, or of any of the pe.vde of these countries, from those Willi whom we pre i.-st ac "runted, we must pronounce them wofullv deficient in genuine Religions -rincip!e. Put i am well aware that if a foreigner should come to America under the verv same Circumstances in which we are presented to the peei.de here, he mnst he under-the necessity ot' forming a very unfavorable opinion of my countrymen. Pecanso the great m ljoriiy of those who would be the first to visit him, are not the men of established princijdes or of good character, hut the unsettled and the needy an 1 abandoned, ready to be ait venturers in any scheme for the sake of gain. An Armenian called u: 01 me not long ago, and at the first interview foisted with the most painful levity, and at the same time with manifest hypocrisy, that he wasa P.oti.s'ant. I asked him whyhe liked th" Protestants bettor than the church of his own people, and positively he could not give meihe least sati.-faction. The truth was, as I had good reason lo suppo.-e, he had come to seek for employment, either as my teacher or in some other capacity, and supposed it wouid be his greatest po. ible recommendation to say that ho was a Pro testant. 1 told him very distinctly that a man may neglect to go to confession, and to moke the sign of the cross, and to keep the appointed fast, and yet be very far removed from genuine Protestantism, and genuine Christianity; and that I am not anxious to hear any man say he is a Protestant, that what we desire is to have all men know a'ld lore Jesus Christ in truth, whether they be called Protestants or Armenians. A Catholic Armenian called once on Mr. Dwighi at Constantinople to ask for emjiloyment; huMie had no need of them, and gave him a corresponding answer. The man lingered in his apartment a tedious lime, Mr. D. in vain seeking 10 lie rid of his troublesome visitor.

It became, however, indispen-a! le to alter, and almost remodel the King's Speech. This was done without delay, and at the same time Lord Geo. as Secretary for the American Department, sent off a despatch to the King, then at Kew, acquaint'dig 1 1 1 m w 1 .h the fate of Lord Cornwa! expedition.

Jf'utnessed the termination of this great contest be- i

tween Kng'and and America." 'He has survived that event,' said Lord George Germaine, with some a git it ion. The conversation was prolonged until, on the mention of the Virginia campaign, the Minister disclosed the full bearing of the intelligence. The army has surrendered, and you may peruse the capitulation in that paper." The paper was taken from his pocket, and road to the company. The next question was one of rather an obtrusive kind, to see what the King thought on the subject. The narration slates the minister's remark, that ltd id the highest honor to his majesty's firmness, forti tude and consistency. Put this was a c.omolving) moment, and we are told that the billet was read to this effect: "I have received, with sentiments of the deepest concern, the communication which dord deorge liei inaine has made to me ot the unfortunate result of the operations in Virginia. I particularly lament on account of the consequences connected with it, and the difficulties that it may produce in carrying on the public business, or in repairing such a misfortune. Put I trust that neiiher Lord George Germaine, nor any other member of the Cabinet will suppose that it makes the smallest determination in those principles of my conduct which have directed me in the past time, and which will always continue to animate mo under every event, in the prosecution of' the present contest.' The Cabinet strengthened by his determination, now recovered courage; they met at the Parliament at the appointed lime, and fought their battle there with unusual vigor. Perhaps in all the annals of senatorial struggle, there never was a crisis which more powerfully displayed the talents ot the common?. Ilurke, Fox, and Pitt, were at once seen pouring down the whole fiery torrent of declamation on the Government. The characteristic distinctions of the public speaking gave new vividness and force to their assault upon the strong holds of the ministry. Pox's passionate personality hurled the fiercest invective against the ministry, the court, ami fatally for his own anibiiion, the King. Lurk's vast glowing grasp ga thered niaterialsol charge from all u uarier and and all subjects, and heaped iheni alike, strong v. c-'k, on the heads of the culprit Cabinet. Pitt wiih Keener sagacity, for both tin resent and the future, ore up the frame of tin ministerial policy, spared persons, avoided all insult, to the menarch: ml with the copious ami superb eomhinaHon ol fact and leeling. argument and anneal. ppeal, w men ii out inai perioii was udopted a? ln.s ural H....I:. iii1 ... ii ii.oiieiii weapon, ami wnicn was made lo give nun matchless superiority in the deliberate assem

they hastened that, preciptate fail which was so j speedily altervvards to surprise the nation. The assault had terrified the garrison, and shaken the battlement to a degree which made the result of the next attack secure. I From the ChrWUati Magazine of 18 0. DILEMMA. OR UNIVERSAL REDEMPTION.
