" There are two viows of liumati nature, both of which nro plausible, and may bo supported by many facts nnd argument. OnO of which is, that man seeks his princi pal happiness from tho source of n well or dered notion of his nnluial propuuiltcs, nut! may ho considered n bearing striking rn kcmblnucb lo other spodos ofmiiinnls, tho' possessed ol tpialities of n superior rruture I do not wish it understood, that I refer (o Ida meiu "eunsual" wishes, but nil tho par. llcular qualities not of mi intellectual nature, of which man may bo in possession, belong equally to other animals, mid which nro en dowed wild tho peculiar propensity of seek luii for selfish uratificatiou, ns tho chief motive fur uctiou ; or in other words, man, considered in regard to his nuiiual nature, seeks tho mere gratification of hit senses, in common with other animals; though, of course, tho menus employed for such u pur nose are dillereiit. As nu oxamplu: exist ence may bo considered ns being bestowed on man that ho may indulge in gross pleas ures; of propagating Ids species, of appro printing u portion of tJiu goods of this world to himself, of seeking worldly honors, and likewise, of satiating tho thinking nnd fantastic faculties by literature, nnd tlio arts and sciences. If regarded in this light, "self-interest mid individual aggrut. dizement, would bo (ho leading motives of all sensible men during life ; and tlio moral faculties would bo uu-d cluelly to control and direct these selfish teniuahl.ei in seek- jng their gratification, so as to prevent tho. n from unduly injuring their neighbors, and j mlnngering thoir own prosperity." It can readily bo conceived what would bu tho final result ot tins system. 1 ins Hie wouiu ho without ono leading moral motive; nil hnppiitcss and prosperity would bo selfish and isolated would place every man iu 11 comparatively indciHindout position, and, consequently, bo would havo but lilllo sym paty with his fellow beings; and tho whole of bis intellectual faculties would Uo direc ted to llio moans of satisfying his lower jor. eniiies. If society should finally bo re duced to sued a state, and make tho forego ing principles tho chief objects of life, tho world of mankind would then sink into do. gradation, ho cnvrlojicd iu mental darkness, and reduced, iu reality, to the condition of tho bruto creation. It is (0 bo hoped, tint this will novor bo tho caso again, as in tbo dark ages of tho world. Tho other view is this, that man is un doubtedly nn intellectual and moral being, having Iho powers of discrimination, tho correct conceptions of right and wrong, seeking Ids principal pleasures in tho pur. suits which liavo a collection wild Ids mor al nttributes mid intelligence, tho animal desires acting ns tho mere factor of (ho In tellectual faculties, to nssist them in using Ihoso means which nro most likely to ben efit tho wliolo mnn, and for 110 other pur. pose. History is not silent on this subject. It will bo seen by nu examination of il pa ges, that man, In iho early nges of tho world, is described ns ever IMng iu that selfish, isolated condition, previously refer red to. During thoso dark periods iu the history of man, it is well authenticated, taat ho either, wild undisguised motiros, sought those objects of sensual gratification, ns tho only purpose of existenco, or control!, ing thoui only in such a mnnnor, so ns to bo moro cortaln of rcnlizing, to igrentor ex (out, tlio end proposed but never once ma king his notions subservient to tlio nccom piikhmout of moral objects, nny further tiian would bo consistent with the original intention. It is to bo feared that this is tiio oaso with socioty nt tlio present day, to a lnmciitnlilygrc.it extent, though moro dis guised than in former times. At tho pres ent time, men havo become moro skilled in tho nrts of deception, nnd linvo groatcr fa cilities for accomplishing scllisii nnu uiuoen purposes thnn during thooarlior ngos of tho world. Now, tho grenter portion of man kind do not hesitato to mnko ubo of nny plausible means, so that they but iusuro tho gratification of certain wicked designs. Tho nbuso of nny assumed chnrnotor or virtue does not, nt nil, Imvo a tenueuoy w curb their sinful desires; mul I hero stato it ns n fact, that men of tho present ago, how ever that fact mny bo disguised, nro more inflincero, nnd consequently.inoro fatal In certain influences if wielded iu opposi tion to tho improvement of .society, than wero tho" undents. t Publio example jjoss n great way to im proos for n good purpose, or to frustrate tho designs of nny oonunondnble improve ment of socioty.
