NEWPORW.
Thursday Morning Jan, 75, (849,
17 The following is an extiact from an
ddress recently delivered in New Yok, by
he Rev. Dr. T'yng on “the Digrity of Labor.”
—“What is the great purpose and the real
result of Christianity among men, but the ut
most exaltation of wan a 3 an individual, and
e cultivation of the muteal hencr of man for
man, in proportion, not te the adventitions
contingencies o his birth, but to the moral
and mental attainments whish he aequires for
himself, aud the benefits of which, in thei
excrcise, he bestows upon others! Whien
Christianity conderns and hombles,it addresses
that in man which dishonors aud destroys Lis
race ; when it approves and exuits, it epeaks
to that which elevates, adorns and enniches the
luman tamily in all its relations. Nothing
more dietinguishes tie Christian system than
this—its tendency to elevate tha condition
of man—to acknowledge and henor the varicd
powers and the individual siiil which the Cyea
toi has imparted to wen, to euncourage their |
exereise, to culiivate their operation, and to
open and prepare, in ite gener | influenee upoft
society, the widest possible field for their hon-)
orable and successful display. It is not only
the fact, that all the ents and improvements
of civilization follow in its tizin, so that its
histery may be written inthe present benefits
whiel it has conferred upon mankind, but this
progress in human improvement hos originat-!
ed from itseli, and ie seen in its exhibiiion,
just i the degree in which the prineiples of
iustice, liberty and truth, which this divine
system teaches, are acknowledged and e tih. |
lished among men. ‘Lhe whole history of the
{ rosperity of our country, whether generad or
eacuonal, will bear ovt to a domonstration, the
assortion, that not to <oil or climate, or sea or
land, or zones or temperatures, or valleys or
mountains, or rivers, ar> we indebted, fur the
wonderful displays of genius and skill, and
industry and resulting w ;-':h!n: by which our
nation has been marked, but to the elevating
influence of Christian edueation npon youthiful
minds, and upon the society in which they
have been trained, dignifying as the wost hon
orable condition of man, free labor upon a free
goil ; making the cunning artificer a perfect
equal to th eloquentorator ; exalting the head
t:at has humbly bent, through many a toilsome
day, over the bench .of industry, to rrcai(!c'
with a digoity that comman's wiicd rever
ence, upou the beneh of judgment, and lead
ing the feet that have followed throngh many
a weary furrow in the field, to stand on a level
with st itesmen in the ¢ uneils of the nation.™
3 The sevenh lecture was dolive ¢ ¥ he
fore the Meclianies’ Association, on Tuesa ¥
evening, by Profescor Davis, of Buffilo, on
American Antruities. The subjest wes 80 -]
teresting that the larg> audierer were ev)
dently prepair ! for atreat,and we are happy
to say that :S)cy weie uot d sappointed, if
they derived s much amuccment from that
Jecture as we did. The wise wman fom the
West not on'v exphined, in the most lucid
anl ernnecte! monner, all the beautiful ve
mains of antiqu ty, in norihern, routhern and
Central Amerier, makinz their orizin, na‘are
anl intention asc'eiras mud, buta'so enlizht
encd his wonder'ng hearers with extra and
gratuitous leetures upon the subjects of relig
ion, politics, morality, nstronemy, georiaphy,
archite ture, botany, the necessity of aljuring
all light realiog, (except what the minvister
recommends) Califiraia and the gold regions,
The s hole was iltustrated by a beautiful 214
extensive collection of drawings aud wpeci
mw] stone, Irick, a very valoable frag-|
m f pottery, whieh he said was found in!
the to.ab of a beautiful f2mal: skeleton, and
a small braneh of some naprosonnecable trec
which wios a 8 heavy a 8 ———e lead ; we ro-l
grot that defeetive eyesight prevested us flom,
oblaining more than a bird’s eve vew nmmxci
extroordivary drawings. Professr Davis h:n-i
at Jast settled the question of the S one Milly,
—we beg his pardon, the Baptistery in Ih’sl
jown. After paying an elaborate and ',;r:'.«-‘--'
ful complimeit tothe spirited proprietor, w ho!
hos presecved this interesting rel eol formod
times {rom the base cup'dity of the preseqt)
aze, (it is well known that there are immcmw'
quantities of treasure under the foundation, !
anlwe foar the Professor a'luded to the Cal.
iCrnia emigrants from this town, who wou'd
e glad to try their piskaves, aid get theis
han's in practies,) he weut on to shov that
the Royal Socicty of Northern Antiquarians,
of (‘nponh'l';vn will have to reverse theie last
docison. They,it 1s weli known, were the
first 10 s zpest the Baptistery notion hat have
vinee (which, pe tlu.m the leeturer did not
konow.) wihlrawn that o) nion, acknowledg
net at they had been impo ed upon by some
erronsois reporte ’ Tv; will now, however,
wo ooale o dealt, fenrs to Vo et the vy,
s the Professor's arguinents were elear and
convincing. If shere was one sceptic pres
ent wh) was not eonvineed by the production
of the drawing of a Greenland Church, with
positively a tound winlow is it, why, in the
lecturer's emphatis words —we give wp the
argument. :
The Professor’s style of oratory is animat
ed and dignified, semetimes, as old Weller
says ‘“ werging on the postical,” and, on the
whole. "ie made animpression uwpon Lis au
