hounds 7 to ex- tirpate the wretched | natives of Mexico;|77| we, | more | ruthless | loose those | brutal warriors | 7 a- | gainst our | countrymen | 7 in A- | merica, | 7 en- | deared to us | 7 by | every | tie | 7 that can | sanctify hu- | manity. | 7 7 7 7 7 I solemnly | | | 1 call upon your lordships, and upon | every | order of | men in the | State, | 7 to | stamp upon | this 7 | infamous procedure 7 the in- | delible | stigma | 7 of the | pub| lic ab- | horrence. | 77 | 7 7 | More par- ticularly, | 7 I | call upon the venerable | prelates | 7 of our re- | ligion, | | 7 to | do a- | way this i- | niquity: | 7 7 | let them per- | form a lus-tration | 7 to | purify the country | 7 from this deep 7 | 7 and | deadly | sin. | 7 7 | 77 |

7 My | Lords, 7 | 7 I am | old | 7 and | weak, | 7 and at | present | 7 un- | able to | say | more; | 7 7 | but my | feelings and-indig- | nation | 7 were too | strong to | have al- | lowed me to say | less. | 77 | 77 | 71 | could not have slept 7 | this 7 | night | in my | bed, | 7 nor | even re- | posed my | head | upon my | pillow,| 7 with- | out 7| giving | vent to my | stedfast ab- | horrence 7 of such enormous | 7 and pre- | posterous | principles. | 77 | 77 |

ON THE BEING OF A GOD.

Young.

7 Re- tire; 7 7 the

world 7 | shut 7 | out; 7 | 7 thy |

thoughts call home: |

7 I- | magi- | nation's | airy | wing 7 | 7 re- | press; 7|7 7|

Lock up thy senses; | 7 7 | let no | passion | stir; 7| Wake all to reason: | 77 | 7 let | her 7 | reign a- | lone; 7 |

77 | Then 7 | 7 in thy | soul's | deep 7 | silence, |7 and the depth 7 |

7 Of | nature's | silence, | 7 7 | midnight, | 7 7 | thus in- | quire, 7 |

7 As I have done; 7 | and shall in- quire no more. | 77 | 7 7 |

7 In | nature's channel | thus the questions | run.| 77 | 77 | “What | am I? | 7 and from | whence? | 77 | 7 I | nothing | know, 7|

But that I am; | 77 | 7 and | since I am, | 7 con- | clude 7

Something eternal: 77 | had there | e'er been | nought, |

Nought still had been: | 7 e- | ternal 7 there | must | be. 7 7 7 7 7

7 But what e- | ternal? | 77 | Why not | human | race? 77 | I

7 And | Adam's | ancestors | 7 with- | out an | end? 7 |

7777

That's hard to be con- | ceived; 7 | 7 since | every |

link 7 |

7 Of | that | long 7 | chained suc- | cession | 7 is | so 7 |

frail; 7 |

7 Can every part de- | pend, 7|7 and not the | whole? | 77 |

7 Yet grant it true; 7 | new | difficulties | rise; 7 | 7 I'm still quite 7 | out at sea: 7 | 7 nor | see the shore. 77|77|

Whence earth, 7|7 and these | bright | orbs? 7 | 7 E-ternal too? | 77 |

77 Grant matter | 7 was e- ternal; 7 7 still these orbs 7 |

7 Would want some | other | father; | 7 7 | much de- | sign 7 |

7 Is seen in

all their motions, | 7 7 | all their makes; | 7,7

7 De- | sign | 7 im- | plies in- | telligence | 7 and | art 7|7 7 | That 7 can't be | from them- | selves | 7 or❘ man; 7 | that 7 | art 7 |

Man | scarce can compre- | hend, 7 | 7 could | man | 7 be- stow? 7 |

7 And nothing greater yet al- | low'd | 7 than | man, 7 | 7 7 |

Who, | motion, |77| foreign to the | smallest |grain, | Shot through vast 7 | masses | 7 of e-normous | weight? 7 | 77 | Who | bid 7 | brute 7 | matter's | restive | lump as-| sume 7 |

7 Such | various forms, 7 | 7 and | gave it | wings to |

fly? | 77 |

Has matter innate | motion? | 7 7 | then 7 | each 7 | atom, |

7 Asserting its in- | disputable | right 7 |

7 To dance, 7 would | form an | universe of dust: 7 | 7 Has matter | none? | 77 |Then 7 | whence those | glorious forms |

7 And | boundless | flights, 7 | 7 from | shapeless | 7 and re- | posed? | 77 |

7 Has | matter | more than | motion? | has it thought, | Judgment and genius? | 7 7 | Is it | deeply | learned |

7 In | mathematics? | 77 | Has it | framed | such 7 |

laws,

Which but to guess 77 a | Newton | made im- |

mortal?

7 If so, 7 | how 7 | each 7 | sage | atom | laughs at me, 7

7 Who | think a | clod in- | ferior | 7 to a | man! 7 | 7 If | art to | form; | 7 and | counsel to con- | duct; 7 | 7 Re- | sides not | 7 in | each 7 | block; 7 | 7 a | Godhead | reigns. | 77 | 77 |

Grant 7 then 77 in- | visible | 7 e- | ternal | mind; |77| That | granted, | all is | solved | 7 7 | But 7 | granting | that 7 |

Draw I not | o'er me | 7 a still | darker | cloud? 7 | Grant I not that 7 | which I can | ne'er | con- | ceive? | 77 |

7 A | Being without | origin | 7 or | end! | 77 | 77 | Hail | human | liberty! | 7 there | is no | God! 7 | 7 Yet why? 7 | 7 on | either | scheme | that 7 | knot sub- | sists; 7 |

7 Sub- | sist it | must, 7 | 7 in | God, 7 | 7 or | human |

race:

If in the last, 7 | 7 how | many | knots be- | side, 7 | 7 In- | dissoluble | all? | 7 7 | 7 7 | Why | choose it | there, 7 |

Where chosen | still sub- | sist 7 | ten | thousand | more? | 7 |

7 Re-ject it, where | that | chosen |77| all the |

rest 7 |

7 Dis- | persed | leave | reason's | whole ho- |rizon | clear? | 77 |

This is not reason's | dictate, | 7 7 | reason | says 7 | Choose with the side 7 | 7 where | one 7 | grain | turns the | scale; | 77 |

7 What | vast pre- | ponderance | 7 is here! | 77 | 7 can reason |

7 With | louder | voice ex- | claim | 7 Be- | lieve a | God? 7 | 77 |

7 And | reason | heard | 7 is the sole | mark of | man. 7 | 77 |

What | things | 7 im- | possible | 7 must | man|think | true, 7|

7 On any | other | system! | 77 | 7 and | how 7 |

strange |

7 To | disbe- | lieve | 7 through | mere cre- | dulity!" | 77 | 77 |

If 7 | 7 in this | chain | 7 Lo- | renzo | finds | no 7 | flaw, 7 |

Let it for- ever | bind him | 7 to be- | lief. | 77 | 7 And | where the | link | 7 in | which a | flaw he | finds? | 77 |

And 7 | if a | God there | is, 7 | that | God | how | great! | 77 | 77 |

THE GRAVE.
