Here, at least, power must be derived from the legitimate source the people and legislation must throw its protecting wings over all.

Legislators are our organs, not our antagonists. It is the nature of power to be constantly stealing from the many to the few and democracies, even, tend continually to aristocracy. Legislation, it is true, cannot change the nature of man, nor lead him tute; last evening, to hear the Hon. Eli Moore lecture On the Influence of Legislation on the Moral and Political Condition of Man, and the Stability of Republican Governments." The spacious amphitheatre was crowded in every part, and the avenues and passages leading thereto were thronged with a dense multitude, anxious to listen to the glowing declamation of the speaker. Throughout the whole discourse which was of two hours' duration a marked stillness prevailed, save when the eloquent and enthusiastic outbursts of the lecturer drew forth responsive thunders of applause.

It is impossible, in a sketch necessarily brief, to convey any just idea of the intrinsic merits of the lecture we can merely glance at a few of its topics. He commenced by remarking that no theme could be more interesting than that which concerns the stability and integrity of our republican institutions. He approached the subject, not as a political partizan, but as an American citizen proud of his country, glorying in her institutions, and anxious to perfect vious tlicreto, so that all may be supplied from the commencement.

The first feeling, perhaps, in walking through the streets of a great city, when the mind is free fiom any engrossing care or pursuit, and the interest excited is simply that which the scene may produce, is pride in the various show of employments. We rejoice inths display of wealth, in long, lines of houses, the glittering succession of carriages, the intermingled fashion and trade, the quick glancing lights shooting across the web of society, as a fine lady in silks is relieved by a chimney sweeper, or dustman in dirty woollens wealth and poverty, the light ani shade ever crossing and multiplying the groups of the historical pictures, each moment forming' and breaking up again on the pavement. The sun is a fine painter for clouds, sea or land; and of a fine day in Broadway he lends colors to the scene none of his numerous flashy imitators can equal.

When this national gallery is open, we surrender ourselves as mere spectators, and have not a thought beyond the passing scene. We rejoice in the beauty of the ladies, the' gallantries of the gentlemen, and even the exquisite garments on the back of the fop come in for a share of our admiration. But few are the moments in which we thus thoughtlessly live in the present, for the scene has its quick changes, and another hour brings around its reverse.

Mr. Strong was in favor of striking out the entire section. Heretofore we had got along very well by leaving it to the elector or inspectors to decide for themselves what a residence was, within the meaning of the constitution, and it seemed to him a dangerous innovation to undertake to give a legislative construction, in conformity to judicial decisions, of the constitutional term residence." The only safe course was to leave the whole matter to the elector. He concluded by moving to strike out tlie entire section. Mr.

Davezac advocated with much warmth, and with his accustomed eloquence, the adoption of the entire section, subdivisions and all, and also one that had been left out by the committee. The elector had a right to know what sense the legislature attached to the term resident," as it stood in the constitution, especially can give a full and delighted auditory.

For no man can bear to be entirely deprived of such enjoyments it is only because they are not used to taste of what is excellent, that the generality of people take delight in' silly and insipid things, provided they be new.

Luxury was the bane of modern states, and its indulgence had ever produced effeminacy and premature decay. Inordinate wealth, accumulated by commerce, was an evil but it did not thence follow that commerce should be destroyed, or materially checked. Morality was indispensable to national existence and a lack of it, coupled with improvidence and dishonesty, had thrown down the nations of old. When laws tended to promote inequality, mutual jealousy was created, avarice engendered, and luxury encouraged. Inactivity begot new desires neral this afternoon, at i o'cIocK lrom her late rcsi.
