Dot only to have retained the enmity of all- her old foes, the tyrants and deceivers oi mankind; but to have incurred the reproaches of many who in better days were well pleas ed to be regarded: as her friends and co adjutors! Perhaps, however, the1 preju dice conceived against her isbeginning to subside ; at least, an inquiry! how far the imputations under which she lias labour ed have been merited, may at this time hope for a patient hearing. r . j . Philosophy has been accused jof contri buting to the subversion of ( every thing sacred and venerable among men, of vili fying authority, insulting dignities, un settling established customs and opinions, and substituting her own crudities and fallacies to the results of lonpj experience. I have no doubt that her real influence has been greatly exaggerated, and that the bad passion of mankind have been the true causes of the! deplorable evils which the world has lately witnessed : but admitting that Philosophy has had her share in the work of destruction, let us calmly consider what were the things a gainstlwhich her batteries were erected. Politics and religion, the two master springs of human affiira, have both been touched by Philosophy, and; it must be acknowledged, with a free hand. She has been guilty, too, of what many seem to regard as an unpardonable offence resorting to first principles in prder to jus tify her attacks upon (existing systems, and lay a foundation for proposed im- firovements. Thus, in Jthe science of po itics (to begin with that department) she has boldly assumed that men come into the world with rights j-that the mainten ance of these rights ought to te the great object of social institutions that govern ment was intended for! the eood of the whole,' not the emolument of the few that legitimate authority can have no o ther basis than general consent, for that force can never constitute rigtit that civ il distinctions, originating from the agree ment of society, always remain within the determination of society and that laws, in order to be just, must bear equally up on all. These principles have doubtless borne a hostile aspect towards the' greater part of existing governments, which have sup ported themselves upon! maxims so much the reverse ; but has Philosophy urged the demolition of all such governments? Certainly not, unless she is identified with Fanaticism. It 'has been hex invariable method first to recommend to the usurpers of undue authority to repair their wrongs by gradual concessions and secondly, to the sufferers under tyranny, tb state their grievances in a quiet way, and patiently, though firmly, to expect redress. This she has done as the decided friend of peace ; for Philosophy (and philosophy alone) has been incessantly employed in lifting up her voice against war, that mon strous aggregate of all jthe evils, natural and moral, that conspire against human happiness. The worksj of all the writers, ancient andmodern, who have merited the title of philosophers, may be confidently appealed to for their strenuous endeavours to correct the false opinions of men with respect to the glory, of Warriors and con querors, and to inculcate the superior claims to admiration and gratitude aris ing rom the successful culture of the beneficent arts. I ! Had, then, the 'dictates of Philosophy been equally listened to by tne governors might have been and governed, reforms effected by mutual agr eement to the ad- vantage of both, and a progress have been made towards that melioration o( the state of mankind, which a philanthropist can never cease to have in view amidst all his disannointments. That such expectations have failed through the predominance of the selfish principle, combined with the impetuous and ungovernable character of a particular nation, is not the tault of Phi losophy. She held up! a torch to point out the safest - path to a necessary refor mation, but incendiaries snatched it from her for the purposes of mischief. It is acknowledged that some of the evil pro ceeded from the fanaticism of her honest but deluded votaries ; but much more from those who disclaimed all connection with her. -:-.', i )" ' With respect, therefore, to the political system of the world, Philosophy (I mean of that kind which was I chiefly prevalent in the latter half of the eighteenth cenlu ! ry) may stand acjuittedj of any thing ini mical to, the true interest oi manKina ana whatever improvements took place in the administration of the continental govern ments of Europe during, that period may fairlv be ascribed to her influence. She nromoted the enfranchisement of slaves' and vassals, the relief of the lower orders from arbitrary and burthensome requisi tions, the liberation of internal commerce r v.- lL j irom impolitic restrictions, me hkuui- agement of every species of useful indus try, tne melioration oi laws, tne aoontion of cruel punishments and of judicial tor ture, aha; above all, religious toleration which leads me to the second point, name Jy, the conduct of Philosophy with res pect to religion, j Here, again it is proper to begin with ! inouirincr what at was that Philosophy 'ac- I ligicn : for nothing coft do mors nnfair "I than to draw a picture of reliffion as it has existed only in a comparatively few philosophical minds, ana then to- display it as the object against which Philosophy has aimed her shafts. A! system jof faith, the sole essentials of which should be a belief in the existence of a Supreme Be ing of infinite perfections, the moral gov ernor and judge of mankind, and of a fu ture state of rewards and punishments, would, I am persuaded, command the res pect of every genuine philanthropist, who would rejoice in such a powerful support to morality, and such a consolation under I the unavoidable evils of life, and prize it the more tor the sanction of revelation.- But where has national religion appeared under this simple aspect I Certainly not in, those countries in which philosophers nave been its adversaries. To conclude Philosophy, understood in its proper sense of ' the or of truth (which is the ove of wisdom," same thing,) is tne only principle to be relied on not on ly! for meliorating the state of the world, but for preventing a relapse to barbarism. it she be excluded from all guidance of human afiirs, in whose bands shall it be placed? in those of Avarice, of Ambi tion, of Bigotry? She may have, had her moments ofdeJirium, but she is essen tially the votary of Reasod, and possesses within herself the power of correcting her own errors. Policy, if sA be not called in as a counsellor, degenerates into craft ; and Religion, without her direction, into superstition. They who- are afraid of her searching spirit, must pe conscious of something that will not bear the light of investigation. They are! foes to the truth because "the truth is riot in themi AlKIN. From the A Y. Journal of Commerce. DR. COX'S liETTCIl OK ABOLITION. The Rev. Dr. Cox who is now pub lishing au interesting series of letters O-J-O " Ij-" rope, has devoted one of them to a histo ry of his own conversion to the-principles of abolition. Dr. Cox went to England a firm Iriend of Colonization, lie found there many men of splendid talents and noble virtues who were abolitionists. He says, "When suchr men opposed! me in debate, with all the teal of reformers, with much of the light of argument, and more of jthe love of piety, it was impossible that I should not feel their influence." Still, I replied with perfect conviction, and ordinarily with as much success as could have been rationally expected, j There was one point, however, where I j always showed and felt weak. It related to a question of fact Are not the free hegroes of your States, especially! at the j North, almost universally opposed to thej project of Colonization ? My answer was,; no, at least I think not. j That the point was a cardinal one, I always j perceived ; for the society has to do with the free alone ; and, by its constitution, expressly, with dm vina an account or hi travel m Kn-1 4 L .Lj M 'pi admitted that, if this were so, the Society was stopped in its career by the lawlul and appropriate veto or tne people themselves : and here generally my mind uneasily rested, after every concussion of .11 111 sentiment, m inis mentally mooring condition, I returned to my native coun try, purposed to take no attitude in the matter until that prime question was as certained and settled. My investigations have issued in a complete conviction that, on this ground alone, the I non-consent or unanimous opposition of the colored peo ple! of this country, especially! of the Northern States and pre-eminently of the better informed of them, the Society is morally annihilated. At all events I can advocate it no longer. More 1 I had known the facts as they might have been known long ago, I never should have ad vocated the Society." j Here we have the pivot upon which the mind of Dr. Cox turned.!; He went to England in error as to simple matter of tact, a tact too wnicn was well understood ; bv all most intelligent men loncri before ; he left this country, and he defended that error against the intelligence of the best spirits of England. Having returned and corrected the isolated' error which! had so unfortunately lain in his mind, he seems to have concluded that all his opinions were equally erroneous: in fact that there was no truth on that side and. so gave up the cause. Changes of sentiment in this way are not uncommon with unskilful minds, but a man who understands men tal philosophy, so welt as Dr. one would think not likely to be thus deceir edVj I put this forth however as my own analysis of the movements of the argu raent in the case, not as one which Dr. Cox avows, or with which I expect' him to be exactly satisfied. ' He says I be con sidered "the point a cardinal one.V for if the 'free people of color were in feet op- posed to colonization, then the Society was stopped in its career oy the lawrui and appropriate veto of the people them selves "The Society was morally an- niniiaieo. axa. ii cotontsauon is anni hilated, what need of opposing it ? Why co to war with aa annihilated foe? This is fighting with that which is less dange rous than windmills. But here 1 1 most be permitted to say Dr. Cox has fallen in to another most remarkable error. Colo- impeded in its operations by the general prejudice of the blacks. 1 mean not in the way to which. Dr. Cox refers, viz. its inability to find persons who are willing to accept its bouncy. There are yet men and women of good character in the U. Slates, desirous of going, to Africa, in numbers far beyond the ability of the Colonization Society to comply with their wishes. As to the mere influence of o pinion, I suppose no man of sense, will a gree to surrender his own, founded upon a full knowledge of the subject, for the mere reason that almost all, or quite all of the colored population of the J States are of a different sentiment. j Dr. Cox' goes on in his letter toLprove by the testimony of free colored persons chat in general they are opposed to Colo nization. Of course, this is supereroga tion. If he has satisfied himself on this head, then he has brought 'himself, so far, to agree with tHe Iriends of colonization One of these pieces of testimony is an ex tract from a sermon delivered by the Rev. Mr. Williams, Rector of St. Philip's church, on the -4th of July 1830. Mr. Wiiiiams says, "It is very certain that very few people of color wish to go to that lan I." Weil, suppose they are but ftvo. Who are these misnamed abolitionists, these real anti-aboiitionists, who will step in to prevent the wish of this few from be ing gratified Every man possesses his rights of this sort in himself, separately Lnd alone, whole and entire.. If the con scientious planter of the South, I wishes to rid htmseir of the curse and burden of being a slave holder, and finding all bet ter and all other doors closed against his benevolence but the door of Liberia, and his slaves, instructed in the matter, wish and pant to go there, Avho are these caricature philanthropists that say, 'clench the chains, they shall not be free?' Dr. Cox concludes these extracts and thi3 part of the subject as follows : "Here then I take my position, not to be moved by the common arguments that array their poverty against iL The co- ored people of this country, as a whole and almost to a man, are utterly opposed to the system: and this alone, if there were no other objection to colonization, appears to me conclusive and. invincible." i bis conclusion, upon which Dr. Cox places himself as upon a rock, seems to me so unreasonable, that I hardly know how to brine it sufficiently within the pale of reason to reason with it. What if all the" colored persons in the U. States except one, did not wish to go to Liberia, and that one did wish to'go, by what lo gic i this to prevent him. How does it touch any comer of his right to go where he pleases?. I Who dare tell me that I shall not' go to China if I please, because there is not ahotherman in all New York who wishes to go there!? There is one other objection to coloni zation which Or. Lox states at some ength. He says, As a remedy for the evil of slavery in this country, it is incommensurate and puny, compared with the extent and incessant growth of the evil. There is a catastrophe preparing for this coun try, at which: we may be unwilling, to look, but which will overtake us not on that account the more tardily or tolerably. We do not say there is no remedy but only that the colonization remedy is lu dicrously inadequate ; in effect trifling with the community,; till the time of pre venting Mthe overnowmg scourge lrom passing through the land shall have irre vocably passed away, i shall offer no proof to a man who can nod himself see or feel the truth pf the proposition, or de monstrate it at his leisure, that the pro ject in question, as a remedy for the slave ry of of this country, is. folly or mockery unparallelled. It is like svlf-rigbteous-ness, tasking its own resources for a re medy against ! moral thraldom, while it re jects the mediation and atonemement of Jesus Christ If Dr. Cox thinks colonization no bet ter than sell righteousness, 1 presume he will not pretend that abolition has as yet disclosed any; remedy for slavery which claims to stand side by side for its appro pnate purpose, with the remedy which Jesus Christ has provided for the moral thraldom of sin into 'which we have all voluntarily sold ourselves. The position taken in the objection of Dr. Cox is unfair ly stated. Not designedly so of course, for the letter throughout is peculiarly mild and candid. Yet it is unfair, for the colonization Society has put forth no such claim. Here I ought to say, that the co lonization society is in no degree respon sible for what I write, nor any individual friend of that society, lam no agent or officer, or even recognized friend of that society. Mv real friendship for it roust involve it in no resnonsibiliiv. nor will - - g i . s embarrass myself in writing,' by any such mm - 1 1 . i considerations, l nave not naa leisure enough from my daily labors to examine minutely.what ground that society has taken in all its minutiae. I write for my self, and for nobody else. But this much I can say, tnat neither tnat society nor the friends of colonziation in the abstract, have ever based its claims to support, up- on its being a remedy lor the evil slavery m this country." There may be lndivMlualB who think it will prove such a remedy. The claim pat forth is only, that the efifeci cf eclonirntino, so fas as it has gone, has been good, and thai what it purposes to do is also good. Lei" us see if ri( is net to. j ' In the first place it has done tfnelhinf on the suhject of this greatest of bur na tional evils, and it points to something more yet to be done: and that I- thinrj' soberly is more than abolition is boast of able to , It has taken and proposes to continue to . take, as many as its means will enable of suitabte persons, from those who atV now free or who shall be ernahcipated,. and who belong to that few who j wish to go, and establish temselvs in colonies orjt on the coast of Africa, the native j land oj their fathers. j "h In doing this, it claims also to be ac , complishing an incidental good, whicb t rises in magnitude while.it is contemp'aK ed, until its amazing grandeur seems al most to surpass the direct benefits whcU colonization hopes to confer on o'r owrl country and the colored population imong us. This mighty incidental benefit con sists in studding the coast of Afcic t 'vith. colonies, bright and glistening in tn be . ties j of christanity 'and civilization n4 casting back the beams of their influ T-iicei upon Alrica throwing around that uebo Iated country the arrn3 of Christian pr tection, and introducing into her. recesses of darkness and blood the glorious light of the glorious Gospel of our Lord and ; Saviour Jesus Christ Who are thessr -Christians, that oppose this work of glo, ry and salvation ? I care not if there ba' named among them "such persons as DK Morris of London, Professor Edgar of 3 el fast, and Dr. Hugh of Glasgow, and ' Dr. Cox of New York." It would hot di ' rninish one atom of my faith. 1 should still think, that a spell of delusion had for ,' a moment blinded he vision of these great t . and good men, and I would cry to them -I Friends ot . the Redeemer and of man, hands off from an ark so holy. It con tains the tables of the covenant for mil lions of your fellow beings. Stop it not but leave that effort of sacrilege to ihd wreckless 'and infuriated. ' What Colonization promised to do, it' has done. What it purposes still to do; i is able to accomplish. It has promised , only to do what it can, and it is in vain : to say it cannot do that. j ; For myself, however, I deny altogethel the position of Dr. Cox, that the Colon ization remedy is ludicrously inadequate . "folly or mockery unparalleled." 1 acknowledge myself 'a man who rafi , not himself see or feel the troth of the ' proposition." On the contrary I will de- monsirate to him at my leisure, that the - remedy, so far as mere capacity coes. does possess sufficient vower to remove . - - Slavery 'from our country I need not stop to prove mat mere is; vacant space s enough on good land in Africa for all out colored iKpulation, nor that it would be I possible to make negociations for the quiet and peaceable possession ofiL The dif- acuity is supposed to be in the want ol ships enough to transport the blacks and money enough to "pay the expense of transportation, and the necessary support M of them untiV able to provide for them se) ves. If 1 can prove the last, the van '. ees will take care to bear me out in the hrst. ror it we can lumish profitable employment for any number of ships, that i number will speedily be furnished. On liindred and fifty thousand emigrants have procured themselves to be transport- u across tne Atlantic to our snores n unia a single year, and that without -any in cumbrance to the shipping interest, or any interruption to tue other operations of com merce! or even causing auy advance upon.J the usual price of, twenty dollars a head I or steerage accommodations k The salea of our public . lands now amount to over four millions of dollars annually, and the . amount is rapidly increasing.

I make this statement roughly, and lea re h so; for all I wish is, to show that colo- nizalion does afford a possible remedy. f Whether it is the probaMe remedy is ano I ther affair. But 1 repeat that it is not at all upon its being such a remedy, that it rests its claims tor support, i nese claims m rest upon what ii has done and is doing. If greater good grows out of these efforts' as a final result, so much the better. ' No , one knows what doors Providence, may open in the distance.

Providence will point us to further labors.
