[From the address of John Davis, Esq. deliv ered before the Mafachufetts Charitable Fire Society, at their annual Meeting, in May THE world has beenamufed and agi tated by the delusive hopes that have been excited of human perfecdability. When the fun, to use the language of Condorcet, fliall observe in its course nations acknow ledging no other master than their own rcafon ; when there (hall be no imperious privations—no reserves imposed by the fears of fliame or religious terror : when half an hour’s daily labor fliall fuffice for the support of man, and when by the pro gress of the fenativeart, holding equal pace with the progress of reason and the social order, there fliall bean amelioration in the natural faculties themselves, and there fliall be no assignable limit between the birth of man and his decease ; but a terrestrial im mortality fliall be the reward of his intel lectual exertions and acquirements. To this deleCtable consummation there are no small impediments. Manners muff be changed ; a new morality muff be adopted. The laws regulating property muff be sub verted : connubial fidelity, filial reverence, and magisterial authority muff be disre garded. And after these liberal compli ments to the system, it is not expeCted by its apostles, that there will be any serious difficulty in procuring a surrender of our religion. It would be endless to investigate the various means by which a system so bold and so novel has commanded the aftonifli ing success with which it has been attend ed. Among the most influential are the profefiions of benevolence and of regard to the happiness of mankind. But the miseries it has inflicted, the blood and tears which are the constant attendants of its progress, ought to convince us of the fu tility of its pretences, and to teach us the propriety of directing our benevolence within the limits of praflica!good, and of clear and obvious utility. “ It is always found,” fays a profound inquirer into human nature, “ that a warm regard for the interests of our species, is attended with a delicate feeling for all mo ral diftinCtions.” By this test we fliall know how to estimate this new faftiioned benevolence, that profeffes an ardent love to the whole race of man, without tender ness of affeCtion tor any individual; and whose operations have been accompanied by a violation of all the principles by which mankind have theretofore been go verned. [ From an Oration, delivered at Providence, July 4, by Prefdent Maxcy .] E QJJ A L I T Y. SOCIETY no less than nature makes great differences and inequalities among men—when the road to acquilition is e qually open to all—when the laws equal ly proieCt every man’s person and proper ty —all men will not make exertions equal ly great —all will not possess the fame spi rit of enterprise—all will not obtain acces sions of wealth,of learning, virtue and ho nor, eaqually extensive and important. Theindultrious, prudent citizen, will gain vast quantities of property,while the negli gent and idle will remain the depths of poverty. To the last, the doCtrine of equal ity is like the music of angels. Energized by the found, he rouzes from his lethargy, and revels on the divided spoils of his wealthy neighbor—That men in the so cial state are equal as to certain rights— that they ought to be protected in their persons and property, while they conduCt as good citizens, will undoubtedly be ad mitted. This, however, is a different kind of equality from that which the promul gers of this pernicious do&rine intended to introduce. Their schemes of wicked ambition were, to overturn all the efta bliihed governments in the world, and to obtain an unlimited controul over the minds and bodies of men. £3* RE MOV AL.
