The su pension of payments by the banks being clearly the result of cau se which, at the time, they could not control, and which in common with a large potion of our fellow citizens, they did not forsce, they are surely en tilled to the indulgent consideration of the General Assembly, and indul gence. to ibem seems to -J)e-alike de ma tided by a proper regard to the gen eral, welfare. In addition to what 1 have before brieO y suggested, it should he remembered that the crop of tubac co of the pres?n j'ear, as I am in formed, is to a large extent, unsold and the crop t wheat will oon be matur ed. The crop of tobacco, owing to to the decline from former prieee. and -the' limited" demand - for - k, or rather the diiTicul ties .which are ex perienced in raising money to nur chase it, has come with unusual slow ness to market. It will indeed be dif f.cu t for the planters and farmers to dispose of their crops, if the banks shall be unable or be prohibited from affording facilities to the purchasers in tlieir Pigotiatifina. Besides, the evils which would be felt at home, by any obstacles m the way of the sale of these great staples, there would be a large reduction irom the amount of our for eign exports, which it is important to enccagertVti1i"riew7lo" satisfy the" heavy balance against us, and the re ducttoitnf 'whtchtatt alowremove-tlie demand far specie. 1 mpn-saed witW h ontKlnes and mportanetof-tlvese -generahiewsv I VenWe rcsjbectrully" the Oenerar'Assemblr, to "relieve the banks from the penafties and disabil ities incurred by them, and to author- ise, ior a unuren periou. ineauvpen- sion of specie payments.

In a short tune you wilt be eagerly pursuingyour waj: towards! the . gladsume-howea uf your relations. I do not expect there fore, in the present feverish state of your minds, to be very successful in the implantation of the precepts I may advance. I am delighted to know that the community are awaking to the im portant subject of education, that they are partiully aroused from that torpid state of neutrality and inexcusable in difference which has so long character ized them. There are now many wor thy philanthropist s whose chief and on ly employment J the delightful task of teaching the young idea liow to choot. I regard this as the proudest era in our history since the successful termina tion of tint struggle which procured our liberty and secured our aaiiwial independence- 'aake fast hold of in struction let her not go; keep her, she is thy life," is an aphorism of one of tne wisest and most illustrious philoso phers of the Jdean age. The wise man manifests the most stirring anxie ty upon the subject. He shoots arrow after arrow at the same mark, lest the shaft should be sped n vain, or launch ed into the air at a venture. There is an urgency in l.hisl language which might be deemed inportunate on any subject of less paramount consequence. Says he 'Gct understanding, jet wi dom, jTorget sVmo take fastliojd of in- , sirucxion, let ner not go. Keep her, tor sue is my iie." now urgent the lan Uaget;SlVold1rpdonarwefe' I less urgent on the present occasion?

If you would, "take fast hold of instruction." Would you adorn society, either civil, rcli- Epus or social? If you would, "take st hold of instruction," now, in the spring-time of thy life. Six thousand Tearsnf groans and anguish are rapid ly rolling away, since the moral and physical derangement ol our globe by rebellion. - Ignorance, the legitimate and acknowledged offspring of, rebell ion, '.-'as done much to submerge the human family in wretchedness. But wherever the radiant beams of educa tion are liberally diffused, the mist of ; .. - i i m , ignorance uriven oara. - sne nappi- nessoi tin numan tamiiy ls increuHed in exact proportTon U tlie illumination of the mind. Tlie eyes of the philos opher, the philanthropist, the atatea- wan and the theologian, are. turned with manifest anxiety to the rimg gen eration for; successors. May we not hope that some of "these young men will rival tlie grra'ness and usefulness of . the most illustrious of the present day? We dare not indulge, such a hone unless they can be persuaded to 'take fast bold of. instruction,'!' both in a literary and religious point of view. ror men can only be compara tively great without religion. Arnold was a man calculated to shine in the ame sper? Arilli TTasLlngton, but he fad no religion to curb his traitorous pirit, and we soon find him ; falling from his elevated station into contempt andjnlamy, Jlajor Grneral Charles Lea was an accomplished wholar, and stood high as a military tactician, but butt tnvtf crept into hisr heart, and he chose rather to disgrace himself on the plains of Munraeuth, than fight tu im mortalize Washington. He needed religion to keep down that envious spi rit. Col. flamilton, the- profound statesman and accomplished scholar, whose name stands so high on the scroll of immortality, needed religion to keep him from the fatal field of dishonor. There was the polished Burr, brave as Car, poUte aCheieldt who waaJNathAnfa r. once thought worthy to succeed as President of this Republic,- the incor ruptible father of his country but he had no religion to curb the corrupt pas sions of his heart, and became a con spicuous example of disappointed am bition, but why need 1 quote the Ar nolds, the Iees, the Hamilton's or Burr's in proof of my pmilionS-l.Kv'p. ry day's observation confirms the heart withering (act. Many towering intel lects, philosoph c minds, and bi ave hearts are daily debased and degraded by some vice which our holy religion would correct. Re.Jig'wn afone,, has power sufficient to eradicate the cor rupt pastious of the human heart. Re ligion and education are necessary to the existence of free governments. It has been asserted that man was incapa ble of self-government; our forefathers contradicted Jhe assertion at the point of the bayonet, and commenced (lie ot political architectufu kno world. They have bequeathe you, as a rich and invaluable legacy, and the final ucsf tte is now dependant upon jou and your successors. It becomes vou therefore, to be very watchful, test the fair-fabric4 be overturned, and you crushed amidst tlie mighty ruins thereof. I am clear ly of the opinion (hat an isnoran' and vicious people cannot long maintain a free government rand nistoryr the rev-" erend chronicler of past events, speaks loudly in conhrmation of tlie opinion. i tie reason is obvious, fixncxnte is the rallying point, the maiusMriiir of action, the great balance wheel of free governments. ' When men are too ig- noi ant to know what principle is, or too viciout to be influenced by it, we may expect the ship of state to be suck ed into the whirlpool of aoarchy, or wrecked on tbe s lent shores of despo tism. The ignorant know not what principle is. and I madly ask for a lead er as a rallying point, around which leader, when obtained, (wh'ub. is easi ly lionet they rally their strength, and utter loud hosnnnas in his praise, as did the deluded Israelites around the golden calf. And while enchained, they will even bless the man who riv ets tlie manacles, ft becomes, therefore,-the duty of every lover of. his country tit do elfin his power in the promotion of religion and education. And the man who does not eXert his influence in so good a work, act as a misanthrope. Religion itself, is to a certain extent dependant upon educa tion. Religion without education tends to enthusiasm and fanaticism, while on the other hand, education without reli gion is Often perverted Into the service of scepticism and infidelity. It is true that our Divine Master called to the apostleship some illiterate Gallileans, but knowing that they could not make successful ministers of reconciliation without education, carefully instruct ed them for the space of three years himself, nor even then did he permit them til officiate beyond the limits of the JudeanEmpire;: uBtiV ney could distinctly speak all the languages then known in the world. . The knowledge of tongues Was necessary to the fulfil ment of the commission of 'Go ve in- to all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature." It i trne. this kMtcflgc simply because Christianity was too young to educate her ministers. The supposition that a man can teach any troth, either in philosophy or theology? wiiiiouiv uri pein; mane acquainted with that truth, is absurd. A man must know before he can tcuth. All public teachers should be men of edu cation. If education and religion Could obtain in the earth, then would the arts and : sciences flourish, agriculture would spread her pleasin? and success ful mantle over the earth, the wilder ness would bloom, and put on the beau- tifar hueoTthe rose, th ie solitary pla ces would be glad throughout the earth. the uttermost part of the earth would leap for joy archangels in their home ward flight would pause and direct tlie eyes of their flying associates to a peo ple living under the influence of virtue ven the great Author of our being would look with complacency, and point to this redeemed planet the joy Henwe wnsxld bf rospeakabley. a nd the pleasing proclamation would rinz through all the sin-stained empires of tne globe, tor the earth to keep jubilee a thousand, years.', ":f; v ."'i'',' r ' l'oune Jen'letAen: Before I con clude, let me warn von. particularly against some of live prominent vices of tlie age, which must be carefully shun ned, if you would be good or great men. vice progresses trom one de feee of strength to another; . and as ubit is the, most merciless tyrant know in the .earth, 1 warn you to check the vicious propensities of the heart in the outset. 1 he Mississippi at k-t fountain is a small stream, easily chclMl in its progress; It uoa be- comes an jrrraistable torrent, bearing upon its ungovernable bosom the wealth of nations.

Day and night alter nately testify his exmenre. - - "He wrmln the sun, vrfreilie? in the breeze. Glows in the itr, nj blossoms in the trees."
