been enlisted in its cause. One of the most popular, and by some regarded one of the most able writers on moral science, has adopted this view as the only one consonant with the principles of Christian morality. It has been deemed proper, in commencing a course of lectures on war, to make a few introductory remarks respecting this question of its justifiableness. We know of no better way of doing this than to give on the one side the objections to war as laid down in Dr. Wayland's Moral Philosophy, and on the other side the arguments by which other ethical writers have justified a resort to war. We do not select Dr. Wayland's work for the purpose of criticizing so distinguished an author; but because he is almost the only writer on ethics who advocates these views, and because the main arguments against war are here given in brief space, and in more moderate and temperate language than that used by most of his followers. I shall give his arguments in his own language. I. All

evades all consideration of it whatever! On page 216, fourth edition, he states the position of the South, that the slaves are not competent to self-government, and shortly replies, This is a question of fact which it is not the province of Moral Philosophy to decide. Why then did he decide it by an application of his false position to the South? Echo answers, Why? Had he confined the application of his principles to the rights which belong to a civilized people, we should have no cause tohe midst of a highly civilized people, with whom they could not amalgamate; or, declining this, had he frankly confessed his incompetency (as indeed will really appear upon a discussion of his basis principle) to do justice to the subject of Moral Philosophy at this point at least — in either case we should be bound to respect his effort. But departing, as he evidently does, from all these obvious lines of duty in the pathway of his desolating errors, and inflicting so deep a wound upon the fee

his will be the ultimate genus of right, then he can have no rights, for there is certainly no superior to whose commands he conforms in the acts of his will. But precisely at this point let us take our stand. I affirm on the authority of Scripture, no less than sound philosophy, (always in harmony,) that God has rights, and that the distinction of M. Portalis is in many instances correct; and that hence Tooke, Dr. Paley, (who also concurs in this view — see his article Rights, in his Moral Philosophy,) Dr. Webster, with many others of great distinction, strangely err, not in their etymology of this word, but in that hypothesis by which they make it a significate of the will of God. We cannot agree with then that rights and duties which are reciprocal, are resolvable only into the will of God--have his will alone for their ultimate foundation. I take ground back of this. True, I say with them — and I claim full credit in the declaration — that the volitions, the acts of God, are al<

ional Grange, and State granges were formed. The membership consisted of men and women engaged in agricultural pursuits. These granges first appeared in 1870, when there were only nineteen in the whole Union. In 1876, when they reached their maximum in strength, there were 19,000. Its aims were excellent, and it was the first secret society that admitted both men and women to membership. Hutcheson, Francis, philosopher; born in County Down, Ireland, Aug. 8, 1694; was Professor of Moral Philosophy in Glasgow in 1729-46. He clearly perceived the coming independence of the English-American colonies. When, he inquired, have colonies a right to be released from the dominion of the parent state? He answered his own question, saying: Whenever they are so increased in numbers and strength as to be sufficient by themselves for all the good ends of a political union. At the beginning of the French and Indian War the American colonies were in that happy condition, and the proposition
