If io the whole, wide, black Pic ture of Britifh Wrongs, we were to point to a trait of deeper black than any other, it mud be the infamous attempt of that government, thro’ iis Agent Henry, tc diisnember the Union. But wills difimembertnent of the Union be efiv&ed ? Thu is a qu*f ticn of thr ft ft conTquence; and merits a lew moments of attention, I twill be admitted thata dVfmeir.ber teenr would be faen followed by a fta-.e of things aimoft too painful to be contemplated. Our fine coun try w u!d became a theatre of bloo dy civil w*.rs—it would be an arena for the exhibition of the bloody con • felts of European and American Gladiators. Btr, that this difmcm bermenc will not take place, is si rs capable of demonftration.— We are united by our Rdigi n— --by our language—by our manners— by cur laws—and by our intereft*, in everv fenfr i the term RcFgido *s one of thr ftrengeft b inds of Society* The Pr-jteilant Religion Vs -he Religion of al.coft the whole People of the TJ States.

The emigra tions from the Northern and Mid dle States to North-Weft, the Weft and the South, ars perpetually drawing more clolciy the bonds of union.

But fuch is the equality of fortune am ng our citizens, fuch tranquillity flowing from the pof itfTi n of all the real blefli .gs of life, tha: amlrfcion has no wbjtd on which to op* ta-e. ! am confirmed is the pleafing af furar.ee that our Union will be of l©r’| exceeded duratios, when I vie-A the hiftoty cf Nations and sr.srk the efs of Societies.— What has been the invariable ten dency cf Societies ? 1 unfwer, ex- fuch as the facial Character of tnan requires and naturally produces. r heir tendency has been to U*un.

The Post Oman iaforms ua that in his days Ireland was occupied by number of warlike ftates, and Scot land by perhaps, an equal number. About ten Centuries the little ter ritory of England was governed by Seven Kings—'Thofe kingdoms were all united inoise under Egbert* .Scotland was united to E ig.aed bout one hundred years ag<; and in our own days Ireland has been unit ed io England.
