Os foetal virtuet. IVfOTHING but viriue can conftitott lyj the happmels of society. Toahftfii from injurii^—to deprive no man if tic advantages he enjuvs—to give to evert one what is due to him—to do good—m contribute to the happinefsof otn--— and aifilt each other—this is being • uous. Virtue can only be what contril tre tc the utilitv , welfare, and security of . ,'tietv The firft of all social virtues is h imam ty; it is the abridgment of all th* rest: taken in its molt extensive fignifi a on, it is tnat sentiment, which gives eve- ir.ui vidual of ourlpccies a right io ou. hearc und afFe#ictns. Founded upon a tuluva ted fenfibiiity, it disposes us to do, to our fellow-creatures, all the good in our j ow ;r fes effects are love, benefiuencc, generoh ty, indulgence, and compaifion. When this virtue is confined within the limits of the society, to which we belong, its effe#* are love of our country, paternal lov'*, flip, piety, conjugal tenderness, friencifhip, as feftion for our relations and fellow-citi zens. a. Strength and activity ought to b; rank ed among the social virtues, becau e the\ defend society, or establish its fecuriti ; and their effetffs are magnanimity, cour a^ e > P-ttience, moderation and temperance. virtues, which have the good of so ciety for their obje#, must net be lany and indolent, like the chimerical virtues intro du *»t’d by imposture, which olten makes a merit of being useless toothers: idleneis is r real vice in every aftiiciation jufticeis the true basis of all the focia vir ucs: it is juftue, which holds the ba lance between the several members of so ci -v, and keeps it in anequilibrium, vhich i tedies thoO evils, that might arise from ~ that nature has eftahlifhed n: r»r.« men; and even makes it contri b'l *0 the general good—which lfcures • f individuals their rights, their property, < r reruns, their liberty ; and pj.ite#* tr lm from the attacks of force, ard the h ares of trechtry—which obliges to bf faithful to then engagements, arc ban i .I)es timid and tallei ood from anaoiv.* men -~k> r*. word, it is juftic*, which,by iuans ♦f equitable law, and the wife distribution ts rewards and popifhments, excites to virtue, restrains from vice, and icad? those , to reason and reflexion, who might be i tempted to purchale a momenta: - good, , /by oing a lading injury to their i tlow- . cre.tures. i\ / Ci! \HACT£R OF JAMES 11. . flWy’c Hifteiyef EnghrJ.)

The laws of the realm, he thought, vere only obligatory on the people; and, as the national faith was inconsistent with his own creed, he deemed the private ties of his perverted conscience a futficient reason for offering violence and iniult to 'he religiousfentiments of the community. He was encouraged in his views by the i.' r ong d~c ! ara;ions of unreserved obedi * ce ai a blind fubmiflion, which the To nes. du. ~.g their temporary triumph over (he Whigs, had laviflied on the crown ; •ut, when he had invaded the constitution, uid aimed at the subversion cf the protel iant eftablifltir.ent, he ficvuid that those (rom whom he had expected a full fubjec ion to his will, were more inclined to '■raftife the maxims of their adve. faries, 'an to foi’ow the servile leflbns which Odd been iiicly inculcated by ihemlelves. In his exterior demeanor, james was courteous and polite; but he had not that ,iat eful add refs, or that suavity of man •ers, which diftinguilhed his brother. In he domestic relations of life, he was mild nd humane; though, in his public cha ncier, he was tarbaiouflv severe and vin oaivg.

To Mr. I AM so well acquainted with your cna rafter, that I make no doubt of you, receiving this letter with cold indifference, I it least, if not with indignant flight; but, I fir, I ;,(k not now your immediate atten- ! tion to it—your mmd, I trust, has not loft ull its fenfibiiity, and there will be a time, « hen this letter may aft as a moniA: till (hen, what you have done will appear to >e no crime; and you will continue to ex 'end your criminality, until to do wrong, (hall become your study, your pleasure, and, as it were, your duty. If the many vices, w hich degrade your charafter, leave you uncertain of my meaning bv this let ter, know, that the purpose of it is, tc an nounce the death of mii's . whom 'ou basely betrayed to shame and dis honor. Yes, fir: this n'ght fl*e lies in her grave, a monument of your infamy, and an ex ample of the noble pride of virtue, thata*- iowc not its poffeflbr to live in shame. ; Os her dilhonor you hav- the wretched ment—may you also have a fliare in her contrition ! In vour boyish years, I remember, vou bade fair for goodiefs and wisdom | fonal accompliflm.ents fetmed to embel i li(h mental worth; but the influence of < bad company, and the power of a latent t bad disposition, soon changed ycur con- 1 dust, and cftxblifh your charafter.— < •Vealth, and external advantages furnifh- t ed you with means; and vou thought it < argued a want of spirit, not to employ i theie, in therutn of innocence.

The vi<ftim of your artifice had nc f vec learned, that one might smile and deceive; and, at a time, when she be-’ iieved every one to be as much a friend tc finceritv and undisguised truth, as herfelfi you taught her, by fad experience, what happier females know only by report - that an ingenious mind is ever in danger, from the machinations of a designing world. —Every crime, like this cf yours, takes fom the general charafter of youth, and ftrmps a degree of infamy on us, whic|| heightens the common prejudices. But, independent of this, were the confequei*- ccs of your profligacy confined to one a** lone ? Was Emilia the only fufferer by he ( folly an your guilt ?—No—your crucit ,( has even extended beyond vour intentiti —even beyond the grav—think, fi 1 her parents.
