ron THE CATAWUA JUUUI(AL.
.Mr, IhxGH.vM : Several circumstances
have interrupted the Juvenile Essays,
heretofore, in their regular appearance.
They are now resumed under the expec
tation of appearing regularly. My young
trieiuls could furtiish a number every
week, but will probably furnish a number
only once in three weeks. If the diamond
beauties of the ancient Classics are inter
spersed in these Essays, your readvrs, it
is hoped, will not think it ostentatious.
•‘To an eye practised in the original
Latiu and Greek authors, there is a
clear opening of sense, which a thick
cloud mantles, the moment it is translat
ed.” Select quotations, like jewels, if
well set, reflect beauty arourd them,
while they do not disjoin the composiiion
nor obscure the path of the unlettered
reader.
JUVENILE ESSAYS No. 6,
Independence and Decision of Character.
Our world is diversilied Iiy numerous
• iistinguishin^j^ and peculiar shades of
haracter. With justice and propriety
the woild has been compared to a stajije,
iVom the varioua contrast of character
there exhibited. Aside from that pecu
liarity of character which designates and
distinguishes the various tiations of man
kind, there is still a very observable di
versity of character to be perceived u-
mong the members of the same classes
and communities. This diversity of
character may be observed not only a-
inong ttie highest and most refined of
civilized, enlightened and christiani*ed
society, but it may readily be marked in
all the grades of mankind. To enumer
ate all the marked distinctions of charac
ter, which present tiieinselves to our
view, would carry us too far at present.
One particular and impurtaiii trait of the
human character shall sufTice fur the pre
sent discussion ; that is, Independence and
Dccinion of Character.
'I'he iiiiluence and worth of this quali
ty of the mind, are both gieat and obvi
ous. How dreadfully deficient is man, a
creature at best poss'essing but feeble
powers, if he be destitute of this noble
fjuality ! How likely to become “a
iVather for every wind that bluws,” sur
rounded, as he invariably must be, with
innumerable ol)jects calculated to perplex,
to divert and to repress his operations !
How badly fitted is he for passing through
the various scenes of jirivate life in se-
cui'iiy and happiness ! How infinitely
worse would he be qualified for the more
important and more responsible scenes
of public life ! How inci>mpetent to en
gage in deeds of “ noble daring !” Hovt
apt to dwitidle away to a mere nothing in
the work! 1 In whom this disiinguislung
cjudlity exists, independent of every thing
but rcr.son, and supijorcing his firm and
resolute decisions upon a consciousness of
acting in confortiiity to the dictates of
reason, he stands unshaken, like the ma
jestic oak of the forest, defying the rag
ing storms that toss, and roar, and beat
against his strong consolidated body. He
remains unlmrt and fearless amidst such
scenes as try the very souls of men.
We shall see the incalculable benefit of
this character, and bo constrained to ac
knowledge its vast inllnence, wheth
er we contemplale it in private, or in a
pul)lic situation. Let us, for tliiy sake ol’
further elucidation of the su!)ject, consid
er it in a private character. 'i'he most
private which we could imagine, and the
one most disengaged from the busy w orld,
iias, notAvithstanding the secluded state ii.
which he may live, his points lo gain, has
his adversaries and competitors to con
tend with. This all'ords him a circuit in
which lo move, evolving his ingenuitv,
and displaying his mental weapons ot de
fence. Measures are to be planned, a-
(!opled and ettected. ll'lic beol'an indi-
cisive character, he will hesitate, per
haps, for houi's between two dilVerent pro-
])osiiions : and at iast probably adopi
neither j but will Ik; obliged lo call to his
assistanie the aid of another, ^\’lla^.
then, must naturally be the consequence.
Iluw can v.e admit of more than a suj)-
[losition of a ])rohabi!itv, that one, win.
perhap'S is not actuated to devise, or pei -
lorin, by any motives in\olving scll-inter-
esi, will adjust his business with tin
same skill, prudence, exactness and pjre-
cision, as if//i? himself had pei formed ii,
who, be\und doubt, miist feel himseJfun
ttUid inltrei,tedP \et, to what other ex
pedient could he have lecoursef 'I'u
what other refuge more favourable, could
lu' ilee, with any kind of imaginable hope
of snctess, whoso ininci is so subordinatt
ind ap(>cnue(i, an to be unable, either to
de\lse, to determine, or to act indepcn
dently ? Such an one docs virtually con
fess himself to be a slave. While, on
the other hand, he who lays his own
schemes, devises his own plans and mea
sures himself, placing his sole depen
dence on, and deciding with a conscious
ness of being supported by reason, gains
his objects lo his wish,—improves hU
noble inherent faculties,—is free from ob-
ligution,—is exempted from being har
assed and p».rplexed by the doubts, dis
quietudes and fears of an indecisive and
dependent mind,—and without reserve,
avers his native and just privilege of men
tal freedom. How applicable to him is
the declaration of the Poet Horace,
**Nuhis sine cortice.” He sails the ruU\ed
sea of life in his own bark. Reason his
pilot, independence his helm, he steers
his course through the rugged way, e-
(juaily disdaining the stormy temj)cstthat
lowers, atid rages, and clashes above, and
the rolling billows, that murmur, and
toss, and threaten beneath. In the next
place, let us conteniplate this trait of
character in a public station.
Here we are led to see its real advan
tage and influence. Here we see it held
up to our view as a lamp that dilVuses its
light all around. Its value we see in
times of wars and commotions, when it
“rides in the whirlwind, and directs,
the storm.” In that station, we likewise
see it, when placid peace has returned,
devising measures deep, judicious, firm
and stable, for the welfare of society; and
administering justice, without ])rejudice,
and without fear, liold, daring, intrepid
and jus’, it neither dreads the insidious
attacks of malicious and subtle intriguers,
nor will itself cover to an unreasonable
or injudicious measure. Of such a char
acter were our venerable ancestors, whose
theatre was fixed on the fragments of
that shattered isthmus, rent asunder by a
convulsive shock, which had connecled
thiscontinent to tyPinnit: liritain. When
floating and tossing on an unknown sea,
they v» ere encompassed by every thing
calculated to appal the stoutest heart,
and to shake, if i)(j.ssl!)le, the firmest res
olution,—on every hand danger ihreateti-
ing,—in every corner death lurking,—if,
then, they had been destitute of this glori
ous principle, how shocking, how lamen
tably shocking, must have been the result
of that convulsion ! 'i’he cruel hand of
despotism must here have fixed its throne,
—must here have been wielding now its
iron rod ! This land, now blooming all
in vernal beauty, under the innuence of the
genial sun of liberty, must have been over
spread, yea, must have been shrouded, in
the clouds and thickest darkness of usur
pation and tyranny. Science and educa
tion, which now rise triumphantly on the
Eagle wings of Independenee, and diffuse
their bright inlluence throughout every
corner of our happy country, must have
been rigorously limited, fettered and res
trained. Our Commerce, which now,
under the American Eagle, floats, at
pleasure, on every sea, must have been
restricted by the unrestrained will of the
British Lion. The internal improvement
to which, on all occasions, liioy had tiie
greatest recourse. They were too ricli
ihemselves to borrow, too proud fur ser
vile imitation. Tiiey would not, they
could not brook the idea of being append
ed. They would not, they '•ould not hes
itate long between two opinions. Rea
son, cultivated and exercised, was ever
at hand, with her just weights and balan
ces, to pronounce the preponderant.—
Then quickly the one must be rejected,
the other ado[)ted.

'Fhi^ IS but a small specimen of tho
cnibarrassment of the revolution, vvc
cotifcs.s, hut it is a very decisive one. If*
a man will hut reflect on the train of
eat>ses which lead to the depreciation oi*
the currency of a country, he will find
matter enough to oeeuj)y his thou'*-ht«
and excite his wonder, even in these
few items of a rness-biil. From theso
charges it would seem that tho paper
money of the time was worth about one
l)er cenL of its nominal value—that i.s,
55100 in paj)er was worth about one iSl
in specie. W hat a miserable instrument
was this for providing fiir the wants of a
struggling nation, and defending armies
against the incicmeneies of these nortn-
en skies. A fluctuating and depreciat
ed currency, at,my time a public griev
ance, in time of war, when money is .so
indispensible for [lutting the public
strength into battle array, becomes a ca
lamity of Uie most formidable nature ;
and to bear up under it, and in despite
of its paralysing influence to uphold and
forward
carry lorward a great and glorious
of our country, which now advances ^ cause, requires the tnost devoted patri-
with gigantic strides,—wliich even now is j otism, the highest kind of courage and
fit to'dispute the palm of superiority with constancy, and con.stiturs tlio most unc-
