For Ac Statesman. IMPORTANCE OF FIXED 3IORAL rillNCIILhS. To promote the happiness of others and to advance the general interest of society, ought to be the basis of every fFort. The attainment of any less elevated end is unworthy the noble exertions of the soul. The subject of tixed principles of action to accomplish these benevolent purposes, from its importance, claims at this time our consideration. Whoever reflects upon the invisible workings of his own mind, and analyses its secret operations, will easily discover the necessity of something to moderate its heedless course, and to direct its attention to proper objects. Surrounded by every temptation that can distract the mind, or allure the passions, man is
placed like llic subjects of the incantations of Circe, who, if they listened, fell victims to her power. His evil propencities arc continually urging him on to deeds unworthy of his nature; to his high claims ns an immortal being, they oppose their unholy suggestions: in his desires and aspirations they level him with the brute creation ;and chain down his etherial power?, lo low and groveling aims. The consideration of the object of his creation, and the duties which thus devolve upon him as a member of society, in connexion with firm religious principle, will alone be a safeguard against the power of temptations and the force of these propensities. Indeed to know ourselves, is to know our duty. Py being conversant with our
own natures, cortemplating the hope of
our existence, reflecting upon our superior rank to the visible orders of beings around us, we cannot fail to aim at actions, in accordance with the intrinsic greatness of the soul that directs them. Hence the importance of fixed principles respecting the nature and dignitv
of our being. When his own moral and entellectual elevation is the object of a man's exertions, fixctl principles

bilers of (lie happiness, and misery of
their fellow creatures. To such persons to whom are committed the dearest interests of thousands, the importance of fixed principles of conduct pre-eminently applies. Imitation is so inseperably connected with our natures, and the force of example so strong, that we unheedingly copy even the faults and vices of those, who from their moral and intellectual eminence, seem to give us an assurance of their infallibility" Power is indeed a majic term. Its vitiating influence however upon the morals, and conduct
of men is so strong, that in the hands of
those not subjected to the dominion of fixed principles of conduct, it may be made the greatest engine of evil. There is a fearful responsibility resting unon
those who occupy the high stations of
authority, which il violated must be settled at the bar of their ow n conscience, and of him by whom motive are weighed. Under the class of those who possess
the power of shaping the moral features of the age, we may rank the srhnlar.
