Pàgina 112 - Our citizens who violate your laws, or interfere with your regulations, violate at the same time their duty to their own government and country, and merit censure and punishment.
Pàgina 112 - ... proper conduct and deportment from them. The president hopes, however, that there are very few who so act as to deserve censure or punishment ; and, for all others, he solicits the kindness and protection of your government, that their interests may be promoted, and every facility given to them in the transaction of their business.
Pàgina 137 - ... should come into the enclosure, devouring the crop, such cattle would be forfeited, and become the property of the owner of the crop. Many have been seized, but they were begged off, and given up again : this has been done many times. Why then are you so quick to be angry ? For, within the enclosure was the place where the cow was wounded, after which she made her way out. What, then, means your declaration that the cow was wantonly shot in the common ? The cow would not have been killed for...
Pàgina 248 - Go, child of darkness, see a Christian die ; No horror pales his lip, or rolls his eye ; No dreadful doubts, or dreamy terrors, start The hope Religion pillows on his heart, When with a dying hand he waves adieu To all who love so well, and weep so true : Meek as an infant to the mother's breast Turns fondly longing for its wonted rest, He pants for where congenial spirits stray, Turns to his God, and sighs his soul away.
Pàgina 63 - ... joyous— discoverable in the faces of many — all spoke the presence of an invisible but omnipotent power, the power that can alone melt and renew the heart of man, even as it alone first brought it into existence. It was, in a word, a heathen congregation laying hold on the hopes of eternity — a heathen congregation, fully sensible of the darkness and despair of their original state, exulting in the first beams of truth, and in the no uncertain dawning of the Sun of Righteousness : thirsting...
Pàgina 60 - What a change—what a happy change!" when at this very place, only four years ago, the known wishes and example of chiefs of high authority, the daily persuasion of teachers, added to motives of curiosity and novelty, could scarce induce a hundred of the inhabitants to give an irregular, careless, and impatient attendance on the services of the sanctuary: but now, " Like mountain torrents pouring to the main, From every glen a living stream came forth ; From every hill in crowds they hastened down,...
Pàgina 242 - ... suppose myself to be among a people once, and so recently, heathen. Variance of language and complexion alone reminded me of it. These views may very widely vary from the opinions of those who have preceded me only a year or two ; I can well believe that we do not, by means of our intercourse, keep pace with their improvements. Intervals of three years make wonderful changes, and for the better : careful and recorded observations only will assure us of the reality of them.
Pàgina 112 - ... in the arts of civilized life, and for the cultivation of harmony and good will between your nation and the people of the United States. He has heard with interest and admiration of the rapid progress which has been made by your people in acquiring a knowledge of letters and the true religion — the religion of the Christian's Bible.
Pàgina 240 - The constant complaining against the missionaries is irksome in the extreme, and in such contrast with the conduct of the missionaries themselves, that I could not but remark their circumspection and reserve with admiration : the latter never obtruded upon my attention the grounds or causes they might have to complain ; nor did they advert to the opposition they experienced, unless expressly invited thereto by me.
Pàgina 137 - ... for the crop they had devoured; the owners plead them off without paying damage, therefore he to whom belonged the crop determined that one of the cattle should die, for destroying the crop; for it had been said that if any of the cattle should come into the enclosure devouring the crop, such cattle would be forfeited and become the property of the owner of the crop. Many have been seized, but they were begged off and given up again; this has been done many times. Why then are you so quick to...
