AND Notices, PROSPECTIVE AND RETROSPECTIVE, NATIONAL and PARLIAMENTARY | although under that very obedience he himself may suffer controul, or incur a slight and temporary detriment. Distinct communities, as institutions merely, have no radical obligation toward each other; but are in the state of men absolutely free. Neither has any one a natural right to reduce others to the condition of subjugation. Nevertheless, all civilized communities pique themselves on consulting the good of the whole connection, of which they form a part; they willingly relinquish, or rather exchange, a portion of their absolute rights, to receive the same accommodation from others, their equals in the eye of reason, honor, and virtue. Hence originates what is usually denominated the "Law of Nations: " ing, regulations assented to for general benefit; rules for the conduct of mutual na-intercourse, not enforced by the law of the strongest, but protecting the weakest against the most powerful. mean OFFICIAL PAPERS RELATING TO REGULATION OF THE That there is an honest sense in which "all men are equal," may frankly be allowed. In fact, it never was denied by the judicious and steady opposers of that prolific source of misery, the proclamation of Liberté et Egalité, the curse of Gallic infatuation, soi-disant "The Rights of Man." By ture no man is superior to his fellow man; but, contemplated as a social being, the relations of life vary the comparative state of every one, and he may be either superior, inferior, or equal. These principles are obvious and undeniable-but, the existence of a community within a community, is an ob Become a component part of a com-ject of a totally different kind: at once munity, the citizen has relinquished a dependent and independent: national, portion of the enjoyments attached yet alien: governed by the same laws, to a state of absolute liberty, and, yet governed also by laws of its own, it instead of consulting his own individual is a solecism of that heterogeneous nabenefit, ex animo, according to the im- ture, which can only be endured, in a pulse of his own heart, or the decisions well-governed state, under very peculiar of his mere will, exclusively, he now is and favourable circumstances.

VOL. II. Lit. Pan. New Series, Aug. 1. 2 R A community that professes obedience to a power without the general community, is dangerous to the state; for, who will insure that this community shall never receive injunctions diametrically opposite to those which the general community has thought proper to adopt?-And, if it be dangerous to the state, it is no less distracting to the individual; for who will give him that counsel which shall guide his actions? shall he adhere to this, or to that? shall he violate his obedience here, or there What a situation, at once pitiable, and embarassing!—to an ingenuous mind, how anxious! how distressing! The PANORAMA has, on all occasions, raised its voice for liberty; for religious liberty neither a Mussulman, nor a Jew, has it so much as despised, much less persecuted; never has it, with the Holy Inquisition, cried out, as at an Auto da Fé, "Let the Dogs' beards be singed!" These, and such like considerations have led the potentates of the earth to view with extreme jealousy whatever communities in their dominions acknowledged obligations of obedience to any foreign power. If those obligations were political, they expressly allowed such institutions to settle in their counNever may such exclamation stain its try only on certain terms, and on wellpages!

Where are its rights defined ? Where are its powers limited? Who is to check the operations of this community, if they overleap the bounds of propriety? Who is to suppress the extravaganzas of this community, if they encroach on the rights of its neighbours ? Individuals may be brought to justice; or they may be enlightened by reason: but who shall bring to justice a community; or who shall hope to enlighten a formidable body without a rational soul? Do we mean by this, to interfere with their religious sentiments,-to detract in any measure from the free exercise of their worship, to diminish the rights of conscience? No: the rights On the subject before us, it is wise to consult the conduct of neighbouring sates. The Pope, as a religions person, the head of the Church upon earth, the Vicar-General of the Son of God, assumes the power of governing the conscience of every individual Catholic to whatever state he may be politically subject. Before such an one, he sets the terrors of eternal damnation in case of disobedience ;—of mi of conscience appertaining to each indi-sery infinite in duration and degree, in vidual, we would be the last upon earth that state to which every son of Adam to diminish; but the motions of this is hastening with all the rapidity of |
