IWt.Mom.Chroa." " Out, : sir, there is,. in another di rection, danger which cannot be dis guiied. No statesman, of enlarged views and patriotic feeling, can look with indifference ppoo the situadoa of the Western Country and the relation it bears to this Union, It is an old maxim, that rivers unite nations, but mountains-separate 'them. And why is it so? Dccause rivers facilitate in tercourst and mountains prevent it. I trust I shall not be misunderstood in what 1 ty of the Western Sutct, on this delicate subject. There is n t por. tion of this Union (I make no excrp. lion) more justly distinguished for lof ty and patriotic feelings than the Wes tern States.' Nor is there any portion of the Union at this time, more ardent and devoted in its attachment to the general "government, . But what pro duces this attachment I The ties- of consanguinity, and the power of youth ful associations. Few of the citiz?ni, who constitute the governing power io those states, can look around them for the tombs of their fathcra.Tbcse dt. positnrics of the dead, and many liv ing objects of their affectionate remem brance, are, yet. awhile, on. this side of the -mountains,- But time -is gra dually weakening these ties of nature, and when a few generations more shall have passed a w ay r the bond of sflilis. lion which now unites them to us will be".entitcly Tdissolved . With thete impressive facts before i"r bt un worthv of the hich trust confided to ut, if we did not endeavor, by a pro vident forecast, to substitute new prin ciples of attachment for those which must so soon cease to operate, i 7 Let us, then7 provide for Ihe's'ubi staotial ties of commcricial interest, U ia my deliberate opinion, that if the entire commercial supplies of the Wes tern states' should be permanently deri ved through thr port of New-Orleans, and no commercial intercourse should subsist between them and the Atlantic States, it would be impassible for all the power of parchment snd political organiion loiiildihlsuBioa togcth er fr half a century, -In this view of the subject, have often reflected that the difficulties incident to the, nav igation of the Gulf of Mexico, and of the river Mississippi, were kindly in tended by Providence to promote our union and greatness. . 1 rejoice that those difficulties do exist t and, I trust, we shall be wise enough to improve them to our advantage. . Let us, then, cut down and level the mountains, not like the Persian tyrant, to subjugate nations,"but in order to achieve a more glorious' conquest thOulyugatioiof our own mutual prejudices. Sir, in whatever light we view these improve mentswhethcrin reference to the dif fusion of "intelligence the" rnefcise of the defensive power of the country, or the perpetuation of the union, they are1ase8sential to bur" existence and prosperity as nation, as the veins which give circulation to the principle of aoimal life are to the health and vi gor of the animal system, ; There is another, view of this sub ject to which I shall merely call the at tention of the committee, having nei ther time nor strength for its devel- npement.

Let us create, by our common toil and . common treasure, tome great monuments of the enter prize of the nattoo, which the people of this Union will contemplate with a common pride and retard at their com mon property. Sir, it it Impossible to cttimite the value of thete Improve ment!. I will not say they will mike this Union perpetual, for the frsiliy and imperfection of every thing human f orbids us to indulge that hope, But I will say,' that if we wisely improve our-advantages in this respect, human sagacity cannot point out any proba ble, cause which will produce a sepa ration of the states. Uut if, unhappily, it should ever be our destiny tto di vide, and if our liberties should perish in the convulsion, Ict us at least Uave, for the admiration of posterity, some memorial that the republic has not ex isted la vain."

T tft E&ttn tlii SavantuX Cfrtrian, - The London' Missionary Society has met with much success in other re ligions besides the South Sa Islands'. The operations in Africa, I shall no tice in another paper. In this I will only refer to the island of Madaeascar, Theifullowiogsutement-was'takcn from a London paper. V : . VlThis extensive and fertile island of the Indian Ocean, has recently been wholly converted to . Christianity, by theM isslonaries of the London Also elation. The progress in civilization and christian feelings, made by the islanders, lis very great. Six years ago they were blinded by complete barbarism t but their eyes have been opened and they now rejoice and are happy in the blessed idea of having uccorac civiiizea nation. Mere surely is a j splendid ' triumph of the gospel and an unanswerable proof of thrtfficanmrssl5nl'I population of several millions, who weilately-iunkln deep degradatron"; and were, feeling, in all its dreadful consequences, the influence of an ex tensive slave trade, fed and carried on by themselves, now transformed into a christian society, and wanting 11 only i uic patronage or. a ennsuan wona, to become a wealthy, happy and commer cial nation.?
