FROM TIIE NEtV-TORK AMKIUCAN,
Lnfaifelte in AmerictI.—Such is the ti-
t!e oi llie Journal which M. Ixevnnaeur,
whu nccompnniud the Guest of tho Nati
on as his Private Secretory during; his tri
umphal progress through these U. States,
has just published. It is comprised in tivo
large 8vo. volumes, well printed, and, so
fur as we have had time to look over it,
spiritedly written. Rl. Lcvasseuraccounts
for the late period of their publication, hy
saying, that the relation in which ho stood
to the General while here, continued for
Mvo years after their return to France,
and that while he thus formed a part of
the General’s family, he thought it would
be most indelicate towards him, to put
forth from under his root', ns it were, a
work of which he, of cdtirsc, was the
chief object and iritcre.st. Under such
circumstances, the language even of faith
ful and naked truth might have been niis-
taken for studied eulogy, nnd command
ed incense. When, however, his services
wereuo longer required nt La Grange, and
he entered upon a new career of his own,
he immediately set about correcting his
notes, made at the time, nnd for the most
part day by duy, or rather, night by night,
for their hours of day-light were all pre
occupied—and in the two volumes now.
given to tho world, wc see their result.
Of these volumes wc shall hereafter
speak more fully ; at present we translate
one or two passages in the last chapter of
the second volume, which happened to
catch our wye. The first records the visit
made hy the General accompanied by
Mr. Adams, then become President, to
Mr. Monroe,, just retired from the Chair
of State to his furm nt Oak-hill. “ Gen.
Lafayette,” says the narrator, “ whs dai
ly making preparations for his retufin to
Europe—but before leaving the soil of
America, he was anxious to revisit some
of his old friends in Virginia, arid especi
ally he desired to see him who, ns chief
Magistrate, had received him nt the sent
of Government, nnd who now, returned
to private life, continued in cultivating his
moderate patrimonial estate, to give his
fellow-citiasens an example of every virtue.
The General mentioned his wish to Presi
dent Adams, who immediately offered to
acoompany him in the.visit, saying, that
“•he would gladly avail of such an occasi
on to go and offer to his predecessor, his
tribute of respect nnd attachment.* On
the 6th of August, accordingly, we start
ed for Oak-hill, the residence of Mr.
Monroe, 87 miles from Washington.—
Mr. Adams tqok the General in his carri
age, together . with George Lafayette and
one of his friends : I followed in a tilbu
ry, with a son of the President—and thus,
without suit or escort, we left the city.—
At the bridge over the Potomac, we stop
ped to pay toll—the toll-gatherer, after
counting the number of persons and hors
es, received from the President the sum re
quired, and wc went on; scarcely, how
ever, had we proceeded a few steps, When
we heard behind us a voice saying, ‘ Mr.
President, Mr. President, you have paid
me a shilling short!* nnd immediately the
toll gatherer came running up with tlio
money in his hand, explaining how the
mistake nrose. The President heard him
attentively; went over the calculation with
him, and finding that the man was right,
put, his hand out to pay him, when all at
once the toil gutherer recognized General
Lafayette in the carriage, and forthwith
insisted upon returning the amount of his
toll, .saying—“ All bridges and all gates
are free to the Guest of the Nation.” Mr.
Adams, however, observed that, on this
occasion, the General was not travelling
officially, nor as tlie Guest of the Nation :
but simply as an individual, and a friend

hint no title to exemption, This reason
ing struck the toll-gutherer os ju«t—he
took the money and withdrew. Thus du
ring the whole course of his travelsin the
United States, the General was once on
ly subject to the customary tolls; and that
was precisely on the occasion when he
was accompanied by the Chief Magis
trate of the Nation—a circumstauon which,
in any othfsr country, would probably
have insured him the privilege of exempti
on.”
We do not know hoi? this simple nar
rative may strike others ; hut to us it af
fords a more remarkable illustration of tlie
simplicity and real equality resulting from
our institutions, thau the most elaborafe
argument could do.
In another part of the same chapter,
we find in the shape of a note, the reply
of Bolivar, to the letter whiqh Lafayette
addressed to him, in transmitting, in the
iinmeof th^family of Gen Washington,
n portrait and gold Medal. We are not
aware that this reply has before been pub
lished, and therefore translate it.

ASSOCIATIONS.
An prticle with this title, is contained in
the lust, number of the Christian Exami
ner, We presume that the uutiior is Dr.
Channino of Boston. As ho enjoys a li
terary reputation, exceeded by no oflicr
writer in America, we think it will be Ac
ceptable torihe^rr mlers of-th« Courier, if
we present the following paragraphs for
their perusal, extrncted from the essay in
question. We regret that our confined
limits prevent ns from extending our quo
tations to a greater length, The render
may b£ startled at the boldness and origi
nality of tie opinions advanced in it, but
he will be convinced, that they are urged
in a spirit of honest intrepidity, embolden
ed by n mind of wondcrfql penetration.
The friends of tho Tetnpqrunco Society
will find their viows advocated in tho filial
paragraph.—Char. Courier.
That the Kubif
subject deserves attention, no
man who observes the signs of the times,
can doubt. Its importance forces itself oti
the reflecting. In truth, one of the most
remarkublo circumstances or features of
our age, is the energy with which the
principle of combination, or of action by
joint forces, hy associated numbers, is ma
nifesting itself. It may he said, without
much exaggeration, that every thing is
done now hy Societies. Men have learn
ed what wAuders can he Accomplished in
certain cases hy union, and seem to think
thnt union is competent to every thing.—
.Ycu can scarcely name un object for
which some institution hns not been form
ed. Would men spread one set of opi
nions, nr crush another? They make a
Society. Would they improve the penal
code, or relieve poor debtors 1 Tiiey
make Societies. Would they encourage
agriculture, or manufactures, or science ?
They make societies. Would one class
encourage horse-racing, and another dis
courage travelling on Sunday? They
form Societies. We have immense insti
tutions spreading over the country, com
bining hoBts for particular objects.*
It is plain that the better we understand
the true use, the chief benefit, and the
chief peril of our social principles and
relations, the better we shall be prepared
to judge of Associations which are offered
to our patronnge. On these topics, then,
we propose first to give our views; and,
in so doing, we shall allow oursolves a
considerable latitude, because, in our
judgment, tho influences of society at
present tend strongly to excess, and espe
cially menace that individuality of cha
racter, for which they can yield no ade
quate compensation.
What we have said of intellectual, is
still more true of moral progress. No
human being exists, whose character can
be proposed as a faultless model. But
Id a perfci
could a perfect individual be found, we
should only injure ourselves by indiscri-
of the President—which character gave servile imitation ; for much,
which is good in another, is good in him
nlone, belongs to his peculiar constitution,
has been the growth of his peculiar expe
rience, is harmonious and beautiful only
in combination with his other attributes,
and would be unnatural, awkward, und
forced in a servile imitator. Tbe very
strength' of emotion, which in one man
is virtue, in another would he defect;
for virtue depends on the balance which
exists between the various principles of
the-soul; and that intensencss of feeling,
which, when joined with force of thought
and purpose, is healthful aud invigorating,
would prove u disease, or might approach
insanity, id a weak and sensitive mind.
No man should port with his individuali
ty and aim to become another. No pro
cess is so fatal as that which would cast
all men into ohe mould. Every human
being is intended to have a character of
his own, to be vthat no other is, to do
what no other cad do. Our common na
ture is to be unfolded in unbounded diver
sities. It is rich enough for infinite ma
nifestations. It is to wear innumerable
forms of beauty and glory. Every hu
man being lias a work to carry on within,
duties to perform abroad, influences to
exert, which are peculiarly his, nnd which
no conscience but his own can teach.—
Let him not, then, ensluve bis, conscience
ta others, but act with the freedom,
strongth, and dignity of one, whose high
est law is in his own breast.
We know that it may be replied to us,
that Providence, by plncing us nt birth
in entire subjection to social influences,
has masked out society as the great in-
e by you, in the name uf strument of determining the human mind.
The child, it ia said, is plainly designed
simplicity, a host of impressions, thoughts,
and feelings from those around him.—
riou» for uw ? The family of Mount This wodtuirtv. But we knew, teo, that
childhood is not to eqpiure forever. We
know that the impressions, pleasures,
pains, which throng und posit s* the in
fant mind, are intended to awaken in it
an energy, hy which it is to sUfijl'ct them
to itself; hy-whicli it is to separate fYom
the crude mass what is true und pure ; hy
which it is to ant upon, and modify, aud
throw into new combinations, the materi
als, forced upon it originally by seusution
nnd society. It is only by putting forth
this inward und self-forming power, that
we emerge from childhood. He who
continues to be pussively moulded, pro
longs his infancy to the tomb. There is
deep wisdom in the declaration of Jesus,
that to he his disciples, wo must ‘hate fa
ther and motheror in other words, that
we must surrender the prejudices of edu
cation to the new lights which God gives
us; that the' love of truth must triumph
over the influences of our best and earli
est friends; that, forsaking the fhnxiin*
of society, we rilust frame oruselves ac
cording to the standard of morul perfec
tion set before us in the life, spirit, nnd
teachings of Jesus Cluist. It is interest-
to observe how the Creator, who has
subjected the child at first to social influ
ences, hns oven nt that age provided for
its growing freedom, by inspiring it with
an overflowing animation, an inexpressi
ble joy, an irtiputience of limits, a thirst
for novelty, n delight in adventure, on
ardent fancy, all suited to balance the au
thority of the old, nnd gradually mingling
with the credulity of infancy, that ques
tioning, doubting spirit, on which intel
lectual progress chiefly depends.
The common opinion is, thnt our dan
ger from society arises wholly from its
bad members, nnd that we cannot easily
he too much influenced hy the good. But,
to our apprehension, there is a peril in
the influence of both good & bad. What
many of us Imvo chiefly to drend from
society, is, not tliut we shall acquire a po
sitive character of vice, hut tlmt it will im
pose on us a negative character, that we
shall five, and die passive beings, that the
creative nnd self-forming energy of the
soul will not he called forth in the work
of our improvement. Our danger is, that
*•» "hull nuhstitute the consciences of o*
thers for our own. that w« shall paralyze
our faculties, through dependence on fo
reign guides, Hint we shall be mbulded
.from abroad instead of determining our
selves. The pressure of society upon us
is constant, and almost. immeasurable ;
now open and direct fti the form of ad-
thofity and menace, now subtle nud silent
in the guise of blandishment and pro
mise. What mighty power is lodged in
a frown or a smile, in the voice of praise
and flattery, in scorn or.ueglcct, in public
opininivin domestic habits nnd prejudi
ces, in the state and spirit of the commu
nity to which we belong I Nothing es
capes tlie recognisance of society. Its
legislation extends even to our dress,
movements, nnd features; and the indi
vidual hears the traces, even in counte
nance, air, and voice, of the social influ
ences amidst which he has been plunged.
We arc in great peril of growing up slaves
to this exucting, arbitrary sovereign; of
forgetting, or never learning, our true re
sponsibility ; of living in unconsciousness
of that divine power with which we are
invested over ourselves, and in which nil
the dignity of our nature is concentrated;
of overlooking the sacredness of our
minds, and laying them open to impressi
ons from any and nil who surrbund us.-—
Resistance of this foreign pressure is our
only safeguard, nnd is essential to virtue.
All virtue lies in individual action, in in
ward energy, in self-determination.—
There is no moral worth in being swept
nwny by a crowd, even towards the best
objects. We must net from ah inward
spring. The good, as well as the bad,
may injure us, if, through that intolerance
which i* a common infirmity of the good,
they impose on us authoritatively their
own convictions, and obstruct our own
intellectual nnd moral activity. A state
of society, in which correct habits prevail,
may produce in many, a mechanical re
gularity and religion, which is nny thing
hut virtue. Nothing morn lly great or good
springs from mere sympathy nnd imitati
on. These principles will only forge
chains for us, and perpetuate our infancy,
unless more and more controlled and sub-
oii8; and we regn-t it, because if may
distrust und coiiuibum on sp excellent
stitution, and iieewflsS ifo 's

Dr. Ifatulloch's Ideal Theory of the ori
gin of • Town.
In the case of country towns, where 0
Highland laird or a speculating society he*
not interfered, it is a matter of analy
sis, for the fashionable science of politi
cal economy to discover how- one of. th
has grown, nr hy w hat cement it is unit*'
ted. There is a church ; that is the or
dinary foundation. Where there ie of
church there must lie n parson, a clerk, •
sexton, and a mid-wife. Thus we account
for four houses. An inn ie required ©»
the road. This produces a smith, a sad*'
dler,.o butcher, anil a brewer. The pass
son, the clerk, the sexton, the mid-wifar
the butcher, tlie smith, the saddler,ond tho'
brewer, require a baker, a tailor, a-shoe*
maker apd a carpenter. Tbey 1 soon lenrsr
to eat plumb-puddings, atid'a grocer fol
lows. The grooer's wife end the parson's
wife contend for superiority in dressy
whence flows a milliner,'And with the mil
liner a mantua-mpker. A barber is in
troduced to curf the parson's wig,, end to
shave the smith on batiirdny nights, and
• Stations''to furnish the ladies whit pa
per, for their sentimental correspondsn-
ces; ao exciseman is sent' tb fudge the
casks, find a school master discovers that
the ladies cannot spell. A hatter, a h*-
sier, affd • linen drupet follow by de
grees ; and as children come into ths
world, they begin to cry out for rattle*
and ginger-bread. The parson become*
idle and gouty and gets e curdte, and th*
curate gets twenty children and a wife*
thus it becomes necessary to have mew
shoemakers, and tailors and grocer*.—

The Association^ for Suppressing In
temperance form an interesting feature of
our times. Their object is of undoubted
utility, and unites the heprts of all good
men.' Tbey niia to auppress an undoubt
ed and gross vice, to free its victims from
the worst bondage, to raise them from bru
tal degradation to the liberty und happi
ness of men. There is one strong pre
sumption in fovor of the means which
they have deed. We have never heard of
their awakening enmity nnd counteracti
on. In one particular some of them may
have cited. We refer to tho compact that of Pradliliu
formed hy their members for abstaining
from wipe. When we consider, that
wine is universally acknowledged to be
an innocent, and often salutary beveyan,
that Jesus sanctioned its use by mirnefi-
lously increasing it at the marriage fei
that the scriptures teach us to thnna Gi
