principles and sure in its practical application? Science is certain anil its application sure, as you may learn by a knowledge of what is called pure and mixed mathematics as you may learn from most treaties. Is Law equally certain and sure? I decline to answer. What are the elements of Science ? Principles in which the mind acquiesces as true upon the simple propounding of them. What are the elemental principles of Law ? That is a hard question. What then are the distinguishing principles of your com
mon Law? Authority. What is
authority? Authority is a proof
of what was decided upon parti
cular cases. Of what use is proof? To enable a court to decide on a cause submitted to their consideration Is this mode of judgment
founded in reason? It is said to
be the m des of certainty md stability. How far do you go back for these proofs to lead the judg

tiscd great extravagance in the
other parts of subsistence. Under
this head is comprehended all excess and extravagance in eating & drinking, both with respect to the quality and the quantity of 'the
materials ot these purposes but particularly the practice of drinking spirituous liquor. The habit of swallowing this deleterious fluid has vastly grown upon our people within 12 years and reduced the quantity of their productive labor, while it has increased their expenditure. Thus, at the same time that a smaller quantity of solid food (in proportion to the population) by the only means of bringing it into being, a greater part of what is produced
is expended, or changed awav
for spirituous liquor, either brought from foreign countries.
or distilled at home, from that grain which should feed the hungry. It enervates the constitutions of the yeomanry, and shortens life. It has brought sickness and distress upon families and reduced thousands to poverty and disgrace. 3. Excessive Trading. People hav e neglected the. product ion
of the Tress to unmask political hypocricy wherever and whenever it appears," was the remark of one of our correspondents to a late postcript to a letter The correctness of the remark will not be questioned ; yet it is a duty seldom performed, even in this free country. Proprietors of presses, like other people must re and Ike other men, they often find prudence, a very commendable virtue. Take their word for it, and all arc in favor of an Independent Press ; but judge from their actions, and a large majority prefer a venal time serving one ; plain truth is cjften very unpalitable ; as for example, if we should say that the people of this state were " h d by the nose," by a few artful demagogues, and governed by an odious aristocracy even if every syllable was true, we should be declared guilty of high treason and if we did not suffer banish
ment, we should experience persecution tantamount to it II you expect an editortoact independently, you must render
