There are millions in the world, in whom, though not essentially worthless, I could not possibly have any confidence, where mind vassalage or serfism prevails.

What can the world do with unprincipled people? When we duly analyze society, then, we know our own comprehensive rights and duty. A man too often superficially regards himself, whereas he should guard against the whole world in the right way. For what use or benefit is the long life of some bad people? They use no energy to produce capital from talents or industry, and are apparently a dead weight on society. Their proceeding reflects on the nature of mankind, for want of intelligent use of mind, and, above all, want of gratitude to their creator. No one has any original idea how mean man can be, when the creature or the subject of a clique, or peculiar views. The world must prepare to see many persons in antagonism, not exactly in the penitentiary, but competent to do things that will entitle them to its passport.

The best is, have nothing to do with all such, as far as practicable. But on some occasions you may not help yourself; then bind such party by contracts, before responsible, disinterested witnesses. At first they are drones, and then the curses of society. Society should not be outraged by the evil machination of the bad. The world suffers materially. How can it counteract them?

I have seen the son of him that was in the category of a fraudulent conveyer of property, perjure himself, swearing deliberately to handwriting that was not the one stated. Can there be any principles anywhere, when they seek to break up their friends by perjury, for securityship which they advanced to gain funds for speculation?

People are not so bad in the majority; but bad associations, peculiar education, and social organizations, may cause deviations from rational rectitude.

Self-interest inspires many tricks. One man smuggles his property, causes his children to cheat and defraud, and become perjurers! How many of these people wind up in houses of refuge, the penitentiary, and prostitution, all to end in a public charity or hospital? The most of these people have peculiar tuition ere they attain to their art. There are many things, the most important in life, that we may never know of till too late. We can not have a rational code of life, in all the essential departments, too quick.

Can we bind the conscience of an unprincipled man? We must keep the world from hurting us. It is impunity that makes felons of the highest classes.

Some are very bad in the world, without any moral culture. The world must make all due allowance, by due correction, for peculiar education, culture and rearing, that ruin the most.

This class is unfortunately abundant in every circle of the world. Why commute the punishment of those who commit deliberate murder? Let not those in rich or high circles escape, as if the world owed any thing to rank, money and influence. Why should downright, blood-thirsty murderers escape condign punishment? Make an example for the benefit of society.

What does not the world owe to society?

Protection of life, liberty and happiness. Then do not violate her noblest characteristics nor vitiate her highest purity. There is much of low organization that becomes nuisances to society, by perverted state of character.

The State should protect society against all these evils, and prevent, as far as practicable, all felonies. Much of mankind is more animal than mental, and will be, in action, till a right mind-culture is strictly and universally established. Look at the per

jurers, in the court cases.

How many millions, in cities and country, are ready for bids and bidding in petty matters of daily business: what shall be the estimate of the many millions to-day willing to commit themselves on peculiar faith, the most dangerous because the most corrupting article the world deals in. The world cannot be involved deeper than it is, except by deeper ignorance by this lower deep, in fanaticism, bigotry and superstition. Individual sins are bad enough in drunkenness, lust, lying and cheating; but all the imposition of the world is mastered by the preceding, that paves the way for the worst results.

What seems much worse than fraudulent conveyances of property, causing suborning of witnesses, sometimes of the same household, as the son for the father, by perjury, or acts that just graze the penitentiary ?

But how can the world make a brotherhood of such degradedly bad men? It is the animal, the hyena untamed, uncivilized, that is thus degraded. Of course, the full comprehension must go to the best light, a rational mind, at once-to the very first germs of thought-to all refined blessings of rational education.

If the germs of thought be perverted by peculiar education, the deformity is 'conformable thereto.

If the mind be spoiled in the raising, we can not expect the full value of mind. There are some countries that are greater volcanoes of crimes than others. All this appears, on full investigation.

Yet you do not, nor can you, know the world without a life's experience. The best you can do, you must seek the true analysis of others, well versed in world and mind science.

But hell is necessary for such fellows, that pay no respect to the principles of God, or society's best institutions. Whose fault is that, after all the world's proscription by inquisitions, of those very principles? Besides, there is the penitentiary, and still you let them escape. It is the fault of some system, or its administrators; if in the judges or juries, then alter, till mind vanquishes the whole difficulty, which it will have to do to reach proper civilization.

We must all look at the elements of vice, as of cholera, to comprehend the whole relations of creation. We should arrest effectually the least evil productive of murder; to do so, no clan should escape with impunity. Without Lynch Law, the whole community can unite to enforce the due requisitions of wise laws, and be satisfied with no less.

Even the society of Indians, savages they are called, is properly governed by the certainty of their punishments. An Indian may kill, when rendered drunk by the vicious. course of the whites, but atones for it when sober. He feels a doomed man, and most rarely seeks to avoid his fate, or punishment, rather. Thus let it be with all guilty of actual murder.

How wantonly rude much of mankind is! What do they care for the rights, much less the feelings, of the world. You will see that their perverted minds have not improved their phrenological deficiencies, who have no suitable equilibrium. There are some dangerous people in the world, a great, vulgar nuisance, drink or no drink, badly, miserably misraised, not raised at all.

When drunk, they are the worst fiends, and often get shot by their equals in excitement. They have little or no chance shown them, in a peaceable community. Their best defence, as the best defence of the world, is principles all the time, not double barreled guns. Such people have actually outlawed themselves in society, which has, in self-defence, to treat them as their demerits require. The statesmen of the world, as well as parents, will think of this; and the wise will be sure to give all practicable and necessary for rational education.

Some of these characters would break up the fountains and functions of justice, so perverted are their minds. They have cliques and clans, even to perjure.

Who is safe? There are two great classes by the organization of the world at present; one is too pure for corruption of this character, to be made no better by bibles of tradition; while the other can be restrained only by the strictest powers of the law, and whom nothing but the penitentiary can keep from all base things.

Proper punishment for these is healthy for the community. No society can exist without it, as we see by the example of the Indians, who punish certainly for all murders. We had better never know some characters, unless it be to know the deformities of human nature. They are the most perverse and degraded; some who would ruin the world any way, surely if they had a chance, and they are of both sexes.

But let not this corrupt class think of escaping, because there is no local hell. They may insure a worse condition, if they provoke it, till their purification comes. That they may and do defer, and may have to encounter all the costs, the wear and tear, the remorse, the corroding canker of a guilty conscience, under the self-vindication of principles.

But there must be a hell for the abandoned. Not necessarily a located hell, as retribution is more successfully left to God and his principles, that vindicate themselves and avenge him. The hell is in the culprit's own mind, and that is too often on this earth. We have seen the worst results to society from the cunning pirates too wary of the penitentiary. Well is it then that a hell is not located in place after man's thoughts and bible's pretended gospel, but God's more effectual way, in the mind. Peculiar faith cannot fix a hell, a purgatory, or the like. Who has seen in others retributive justice? Let them take care it be not their state. There are some stupid beasts, in man's form, that might be remoulded many times to reach the true standard, to approach God's magnificence and greatness. The misfortune is that they belong even too much to the highest circles, and the world pursues a mistaken policy in regard to making differences as to respect of persons, who violate the laws of the country. Why do republicans act Well might the political economist ponder as to the benefits of this class to the community. They can arouse up the latent energies of mind and body of the public to counteract their schemes.

so?

There are some people so lost to sense and modesty of shame, that you cannot get a hold on them by a slight public opinion.

Enlightened public opinion is one of the great conservators of virtue, but then you must have society in a conservative condition. Put then this best brand of society on the delinquent, by proper, wise, and efficient legislation.

Too much of the human life is so perverted by corruption, &c., that man will say, do, and affect any and everything, as immediate self-interest dictates.

Cliques have vassals to obey them, at the expense of mind and principles. Has society been so miserably corrupted, by peculiar faith and its priestocracy? How is the society of worthless people instituted, but of dangerous intrigue against justice? See its perjury, swindling, and collusions.

How many are spoilt in the world by mixed associations, whose licentiousness outrages public morals and opinions? Some of these worthies of the world cannot be reached by law, as in the frontiers, where the froth of the people will work itself off. The world must counteract its cliques and clans.

How many of the world study secret crimes, and aim only not to be caught in secret felony. Is that the creed of a corrupt world?

Keep at a distance from any not possessed of principle, or keep clear of any man that is unprincipled.

Some people's conduct is full of sophistry and corruption. They will jump over or on others' rights, prostrate merit, to seek popularity of self.

The concealment of vice is a secondary consideration with virtuous wisdom, that seeks the avoidance of penalties, as well as anticipate the whole evils otherwise incurred.

Place the vicious in a state of passiveness, as in the penitentiary, to do them good. What can be done with some minds, that have no proper shame of the world, but in the refuge of dark retirement? They have no principle, and have to learn by the severest teachings of experience.

All they do is to pirate on the blessings of society.

They act as if the world was spoils for them.

All that some unprincipled pirates in society study is to get the advantage, get the world's money, power, and influence.

What do the dishonest care for public opinion?

Can it reach them in their circle?

This is an important question about society in general, and may disclose too much of the same quality.

What would the world be, but for the majesty of government, order, and good laws, properly administered?

How many of the world are enslaved to the lowest passions, the lowest state of mind? They are too much of the animal to know or adopt good advice.

The main thing is in the raising. There is where so many minds in this world are ruined.

A man that has no respect for himself, or his word, has but little respect for others, or their word. We lose thousands in the world's schools: the world loses billions, for want of rationalized principles. Here religion is needed in rationality. How many are the slaves of habit, custom, and money. How much is sacrificed to these gods of idolatry. Many such get smuggled into good society, that has to be on its proper guard. The world has to be guarded, from the lowest to the highest circles. What would the world be, without laws, and their proper execution?

If man or woman turn loose in licentiousness, they can out-do all animals, in that. The world suffers awfully, by the collusion of cliques and clans for power, to shield vice; but when such has certain exposure, and no immunity or impunity, then there is the least, or no reckless villany. The power of universal justice is to stop tyranny, oppression, usurpation, and monopoly.

As humble and trifling as each individual may be in the world, still he fills a unit in space and existence, and is missed, when taken away.

What can the world think of the lawless though law-abiding individuals, but that they are worthless?

There are some lawless individuals, who still seek all the law provisions and protections, under the short mantle that veils neither motives nor their dishonesty, much less the assumed garb of their pretensions. Their hypocrisy clearly proves what is their state of morals. They put themselves by all their acts beyond reasonable protection of the world's esteem, in regard to public opinion, alienating all respect in an enlightened community.

In their families they are tyrants to those most needing protection and guardianship,

driving them from home desperate, and to be ruined in character, at the mercy of the merciless.

Righteous judgments, vindicative of high-souled principles, must overtake them who sacrifice the feelings of victims suffering in silence, and keeping the burning secrets buried.

In not less culpable state are those who see their dependent friends in abject poverty, without help, almost mocking them, in their plenty and abundance.

Overreaching, by arbitration of interested partisans and meanness, will be attempted in all manner of ways.

In the analysis of first principles, if such be degradation of the mob-spirit, what must be that which creates and arouses its causes? Legislators and law officers cannot do too exactly their duty.

How senseless the multitude must feel, that they should be at warfare about contentious individuals, that have controversies in politics, about the stage, and have seen 'the community get into a perfect storm, while the two disputants cared only for themselves!

Why not let the two individuals decide the contest for themselves, as the least of all possible evils?

If such proceeding be excited or headed by individuals affecting a better circle of society, then a very signal penalty should be certainly inflicted.

When the money power is prostituted to public bribery, to excite the mob spirit, then the penalty for felony should be visited promptly and adequately.

Very often, lawless men, relying on their cunning and duplicity, adventitious aids, are made to feel the law's penalty, by imprisonment, heavy fines, and damages, that they pay.

The thousand compulsory acts of neighbors, also of debtors, who force creditors to compound, are to be classed in the acts of the dishonest, if not worthless. So many worthless people present a vast theatre, where multitudes could be changed by the right instruction. There is in the world an excess of coarse, vulgar effrontery, that shows the worst perversion of the very highest evidences of mind. Too much of mankind, under the regime of such things, expose their base ingratitude to the noblest gifts. Much allowance is to be made, by the perversion of legitimate taste and refinement. With such men, the most of the wisdom of the law, is possession.

While some friendships cannot be purchased for any price, others are sold too dear at any purchase.

The mere acquaintance with some compromises safety and prudence. Not that money is the only object about worthless people, but the great object is to keep them from transgressing morals. Give away, if you prefer it, all your possessions to the most worthy objects of benevolence, but let not such characters get the advantage of you.

There are certain clans, in all circles, that will domineer over the whole, if the people let them; but it is the interest, and certainly the highest duty, to unite in putting down all such brutes.

Some people know nothing, care for nothing, do nothing, amend nothing, live for nothing, and die nothing.

Where is mind? Are these the guides? How, or where? What good can they do?

ENLIGHTENED PUBLIC OPINION.

THIS is the representative of the noblest and purest sentiments, if in advance of the age, and guardian of the sublimest public actions, that lead to man's true position. It establishes universal principles to secure the largest amount of happiness.

It is the tribunal at which the world's good has the best audience, and generous actions the best appreciation. It surveys the past with the eye of philosophy, the present with just observation, and the future with the wisest anticipation.

It brings criticism to a right arbitrament, the proper definite views of reason's guide and monitor, and rules out the mock assumptions of custom, and the false pretences of fashion.

It arrests those that are unable to supersede by as good, much less a better, mere radicals or destructives without the virtue of conservatives, acting under the imposition of false criticism, so often foisted with mock dignity on the public.

The best protection of the world from mind, is in an enlightened public opinion. The people are surrounded by supposed evils of magnitude, supreme over their feeble powers of ignorance, in a state less than proper cultivation of intellect. To whom but interested advisers can they apply, when they neglect their own rightful means?

What cannot unprincipled beings do, with power ?

What guarantee have the many that their rights are protected, but through mind? And what can mind do, without rightful rational culture?

Unless this great conservative principle prevails, high treason is committed, or the supreme laws are circumvented by collusion.

An enlightened public opinion should speak rightly through the press, by journalism, reviews, and just criticism, as well as in primary assemblies of the people; comprehending the world's relations.

A free and enlightened press must be untrammelled, conservative for good, repellant of evil, and competent to recognise the right, else the seal of silence should be perpetual.

But few editors are qualified for their responsible vocation. Whenever they cater to a vitiated and depraved taste, then public opinion, if enlightened, can be severe in disapprobation.

Organic principles are to be duly respected and evolved, that shall master the rest, and fully command the minutest points.

The true science of the principle of protection is for the ablest minds to consider, in the ablest manner. The

What can fortify best of all, more than an enlightened public opinion? result of reflected light on the globe from universal freedom, dispenses this potent

power.

Nearly the people of every nation, with any pretension to civilization, is now appreciating this bright light. With zealous co-operation of continental union, they can attain the great fundamental truths of self-government, the noblest of all. Science may become so exact in all departments, that the actions of enlightened mind may be universally correspondent on inherent principles. A proper code for mind in all its social and religious principles can be secured, because this enlightened state of things will cause their practice, and be satisfied with nothing less.

This code will not be that of a conqueror or civilian, but of exalted mind, evolving its practical benefits.

The greatest good to the greatest number, that is all, embraces a proper enlightened and liberal code, that comes the nearest to exalted practicable and common honest sense purposes of creation.

This position of principles goes against any great public follies or vices, threatening to be national, as repudiation, disunion. There are many things conservative inherent in government, that may become destructive, if not let alone by wise legislation.

We need a general conservatism for best government of the world. If the people be right on principle, and intelligent to keep so, the government partakes of their character, and must be right, without corrupting tendencies any way.

An enlightened public mind will see that there can be no legitimate union of powers, as of church, banks, working-power or aristocracy, with the state. The world has to deplore their corruptions in the social circles of nations, otherwise the freest.

Without equitable principles, the world clashes in the peace of families, much less in the polities of nations.

No republican action can ever be confined to mere names and party, but on honest common sense principles, that take away the causes for the world's antagonism.

Any proper sacrifice of property must be sustained, that repudiation of the state be prevented by wise legislation, that should never involve the public credit at first in inex

tricable debts.

The great benefit of enlightened public opinion is to comprehend the remotest relations, to establish the most efficient promotion of the best, and the most potent counteraction of the worst effects.

The great question of the world is, to escape the selfish and brutal tyranny of benighted oppression in all its bearings. We need previous instructions by a code from the supreme court in legal wisdom, that will teach the highest practical lessons to mind. It takes the soundest mind to appreciate, and virtuous characters to prevent, with proper independence, the world's malign influence.

Whilst rational mind should contribute its greatest good to, it must be protected against the worst evils of the world. What punishment is worse than a just, enlightened public opinion, that forces any culprit in the community to hang his head, and retire from its just frowns?

The guilty may undertake to deny, but under the cognizance of its facts clearly proved, the effect is withering and lowering, and the culprit cannot dare face its just indignation. Its judgment, as righteous, is forever without appeal; and reformation is best for such a doomed character.
