 Czurch and Stotc. --The constitution Ial charter of France has wisely sepa- rated religion, as an establishment, from ! the State. This is an example which lothernations must, sooner orlater, adopt. It is necessary for the interests of reii- givr, itself, which is injured aid degrad- ed when allied with political machinery.

 No religion ought to be encouraged

 which cannot stand of itself; if it re- quire the prop of human laws, it can

 not be true religion. It must be

 nothing more than a pretext for patron. iagc,a secular institution created by men for their own worldly purposes, and a

 continued insult to the Deity. The re- ligion which has power to attract and fix mems minds, will exercise that pow CT without the assistance of legislators,

 and will be infinitely better cultivated If left to its course. The poorer the

 ministers of the gospel are, the better they will instruct the rich, the better at tend to the spiritual wants of their nee- dy fellow-creatures. This is subject upon which England has much to learn, and will not have little to do. But the day for the business has not yet ar

 rived, though we can perceive the faint gleaming of its dawn.
