''
After a brie * f-interyal the -Ghskman called on Mr . John Brown to jive an account of the origin ^ and progress of thB Academy . H © said : — "It was in the ¦ winter of 2839 , "whsntheHeafeMBB of the season seemed to Tie with the Jwmmmaa of the moral prospect , that tins Society commenced 4 fes labours . A few individuals deeply « cnvmced of the necessity for something being ¦ done to bringforward pre&chezsfromaxnongst the young , xesolred toaafce a beginning ; and althocjih theii ? Ian ¦ of tuition ~ was at first ¦ undefined , still the ice was "broken and good done . In the-month of September a proposal was made by amembei "to fii-vide the Society into six classes , and in Decemberfollowing , after a strict digest , It was ¦ unanimously adopted . I " need net take np your time wiSi a long account c-f the details . Those who feel interested will find afnll account of the plan in the { JhrisHoR ^ idvocaie -ioT ^ ioYembeT . Three of the classes ,
namely , the Heading ,-Grammar , and Scientific Class , are in full working ^ rder , and the Composition Class , No . 1 , 5 a just about to be started . The Scientific Class has now been existent for nearly six monlhs , and the ¦ wholetif the regnlar lectures have been delivered upon the imorea sciences of Anatomy and Physiology . They hare been delivered to * large and attentive clan , ao-¦ companied by their friends , and the correct answers elicited at £ he fortnightly Ex&min&tionB prove l&s amount < & Jprofieiency attained , " Since the commencement of this -course we hare also bad oocaaionaVlectares on the Monday evenings , on < % emistry , 4 c" Mr . J . Brown -concladed his address by appealing to the andience if file advance "Which had thus been attained -was not sufficient to-encoarege the members to go on . cot only in their own sphere hot also in endeavouring to induce the fOHBda&ra ef sach inrtitufions in other places .
Afters walk through &b gardens , on retiring to the bowers , Xr . Daniel Johnston was called npon to speak to the sentiment of " the -datiea we owe to one another . " Sis speech was long and animated . He-spoke of ths duties-which the members owed to one another—of the propriety and advantages which would result from their becoming "bett « r acquainted with < ach other , learning their respective residences , so as to "visit in sick * ness and emergencies . Be then went over the rules of the academy , and showed that as they had all one common object in -view , -viz ., the spread of the Gospel , that they should begin at home . " TVeknow" said he , "the duties of earthly lelatives , of parents and child , of brother and sister ; and are at no loss to discover derelictions in those . Now the duties which the members of this aeademy owe toone another , are precisely de same ; and until we feel an interest in « ach other ' s personal welfare ; until we become knit together as a
Innd of brothers , xaa efforts will be comparatively fruitless . Instruction may be derived , and a lesson learned even from the heathen . It- "was the custom , when a Tecrnit joined the itoman army for him to choose s mate . In danger they defended one another , in peace they assisted ; when one was wonnded , he was not left ie be trampled under foot regardlessly ; his mate was there ; ' for they fought aide by side , animating a-d en-« onraging one another . We are soldiers of the cross ; and altbonxb the sword and spear of the earthly warrior areas foreign to onr weapons as adds to alkalies , Btai , I say , we may learn a useful lesson from this amity or purpose in the prosecuting of a moral crnsade . " Mr . J . confinnBd to show that the training thns effected Slight be usefully applied to the furtherance , of the l > ene £ eial project in which the members might be after * wards engaged ; and dilated at some length npon the duties -which the academy owe to the wor 3 * J at teise .
Mr . J . Porrest next addressed' the meeting on ths power and goodness of God as displayed in the work * of creation . 2 &z . Chairman —The sentiment put into my hand is one of sneb boundless magnitude that tlie mind of mas caHDOt faB ; £ Ompr&head it Even the mighty power of & Sevfam , that paragon cf the human mind conld Jiot isthoxn half its depth , ox reach to halt its height ; how much less ay feeble powers , which , when compared "with many of my worthy and intelligent brethren present , appear tut as a spark in the furnace . But , 34 r . Chairman , if I cannot do justice to the subject , it is not for want of a text I dare not complain that I have ^ nothing to spsak of , or beat the air for lack of argument : since everywhere I turn my eyes , sew
subjects for thonght , and new matter for inquiry rise up before my sdmiri- g gaze . Do I walk through the flowery gardens , amidst all the luxuriance of sweets that can gratify the sense of sight or smell ? Do I take my stand beside the blooming rose , with all its Noshing beauty thick iipon it , or examine -the modest Tiolefc , whose tint would put a Raphael or a-Titian to shame ? Come 1 to a laughing field of com , or witness I the daughters of the orchard pregnant with those delicades , which m ^ ko glad the heart of man ? Do 1 take a solitary walk amidst the leafy thicket , or the pathless jungle ? Tread I through the windings of the latest , whose Itj ^ rw wxt oaks seem So barre defied the storms of ages , or -walk through the thronged streets o ! & busy * aiy ? There the works of Nature ' s QoA present
themselves to fiew . Do we ascsnd tke Alpine glsziers , ¦ whose perks are enveloped in eternal snow , or make onr bed in the caverns of the deep , whose riches the eye of mas has nevtr fathomed ; do we soar aloft on the wings of astronomy to ihosa regions far remered from mortal ken , or dive with the geologist in search of the hidden treasnres of the earth ; do we fellow the chemist to his laboratory , or with patience Wind our way through the labyrinth of siathematics ; do -we attend the physiologist in his course , or follow the dissecting knile of the anatomist , as he lays bare the wonders of the human ftzsoa : in one and all of dose departments of nature , the finger of God is discernible , and we «* " *< imagiae a Toice proceeding from Q if > m saying
** The hand that made ns is divine . " Mr . Chairman , it wonld be highly presumptuous in tub to s » y anything on the machinery of the human frame , sftfertijemsnyrfcqatntltctEresTre Lave received this ax months past on this never tiring subject ; but I ia-re only this to say , that the man who can witness file wonders of the human Dddy withont emotion : who can behold the opening and shutting of its Talves ; the playing of the bellows of the lungs -, the more than railroad-velocity of the circulation of the blood ; with all the -various assemblage of tnbts , "reins , arteries , muscles , tendons , and bones , which compose the human fabric , mutt be dfstituie of one of the grandest principles of hnmanity . We have betn more than astonished at the wisdom of the mighty machine of the ¦ Bniverse , when some of the wonders of bis kandywork were exhibited to our -view as conlained in the human
frame ; when we have been told , and shown , 'that some of its parts are bo delicate that even the hea 4 of a common pin coming in contact with them woul-4 canse instant death . We b&Te been astonished that a machine so complicated , so feeble , and so frail , conld « xist so long withont repair , and "we have cried out with one of old , who iras an admirer of the works of nsrnre—** I am fearfully and -wonderfully made . " She wisdom and goodness « f the mighty engineer of Bstnre is discern&ble in every part of bis works from the wheeling of the planets in their eonise , to the Salsing-cf a tear on the cheek of Tirius . They iise inSnitfcJy above the boastea works of art Etch in his own Bcpartmtnt of waenee may point out its minutest benttus-. mttcimld even the most skillful amongst them put life iuto the meanest insect after the-viud spirit had flad , or make a pils of grass to grow ?

The company hating sesin admb ? ed the beaotifal garden , the Cbairman called npon Mr . " W . Go van to speak to the sentiment of liberty . \ He rose and said : The sentiment which I hare been appointed to speak to this evening ts Liberty ,, A mighty and magnificent subject for the ) orator to dilate on . -Onathat the eloquence , of a Cicero would fee vn ~ able to < 5 o it that justice 'which it deterrei : at peurtray the blessings that would accrue to a people through ittherefore one by far too gigantic for no to do anythieg like Justice to . As there are varioHS definitions of this snr ^ ect , foe the sake of order I ahall confine myself exTjiusively to civil liberty , by which I beg to be understood , the right of every man boring & Voice in Taking those laws which he is bound to obey . { The happiness ,
prosperity , and contentment Of a nation depend almost entirely npon the liberty which its people possess . This maybe fully illustrated by our own cpuatry . Aland blessed with all that can be conducive to the happiness and comfort of the people ; possessing nsteral advantages unequalled by any other nation in the world ; yet withont liberty , what are all these blessings ? They are all monopoloed and claimed byi tfee drones of aociety j while the poor hard working > ees , who alone produce all the wealth -of our conntiy , are robbed of their share , and sank in slavery , misery , and wretchedness . It has been often said that there is more liberty enjoyed in Britain than in any other nation in the world . This t » a -certain extent I admit There is a liberty awinst which I as an individual , and a great
portion of the working classes cf this conatry , complain ; that is , the liberty which the aristocracy have , or rather the liberty which they take—of governing us against our will ; of passing laws withont onr consent ; of creating swarms of locusts in the shape of kings , priesU , placemen , pensioners , hired cut-throats , and nnecnrlstB , who devour the : very vitals of society . In fact , thse wo » ld fail me were 1 to enter particularly into all the liberty which the aristocracy enjoy ; but all the liberty which & great portion of the people possess , may be stated in a -very few words i they have the liberty of obeying laws which they had no voice in making , and the honour of paying for aU . Thisis British liberty - and the present state of the country affords a practical proof of the injustice of auchla horrid By stem .
Would aociety be in its present degraded and enslaved position if real liberty were established ; in onr land 7 I unhesitatingly answer , " no ; it is impossible 1 " For , in my opinion , true liberty can only exist when equal justice Is administered to all : to the queen and to the beggar , to the rich and to the poor , liberty is not a mere stnnd—a mere shadow . Uo ! it 3 s a canse which tends to confer happiness on all mankind . It is a cause for which a Wallace , a TtJl , a Washington , and thousands of other brave and noble patriots have fonght and bled . They knew what liberty was , and they were determined to gain it , or'die in the attempt Their motto was— + l We will , we shall , we most be free . " * And , when engaged in its battles , the -reiy remembrance of the cause for which they were
fighting infused new -vigour into their ) sonls—strength into their arms—and caused them to redouble their exertions , exclaiming at the same time , "Liberty ' s In eireryWow . " The poets , too , have given rent to their natural love of liberty in soul-stirring and animating poems—praising the actions of those who have fought and bled in the cause , and delineating the blessings of liberty . Onr national bard has truly said that "liberty ' s a glorious feast ; " and my : earnest desire is , that all would partake of this " glorious feast , *! which can only be done by conferring equal rights on alL But , my Mends , it is a well known fact , that many individuals who profes * to be the friends and advocates of liberty look with some degree of astonishment at the proposition that all men should be equally enfranchised . They
appear to think that a man withont a shilling ' s worth of property in his possession , but who has obtained an honest liralihoed by his own honest industry , to be intrusted with political power wonld be exceedingly dangerous to the rest of [ the community . But I would ask , why is the worki g man excluded from the pale of the Constitution ? Why is be robbed of his natural rights and deprived -of hifl social privileges ; converted into a mere bewer ^ uf wood , a mere drawer © f water—a mere toiling machine producing an enormous amount of wealth , which , after its production , he is obliged to band over to others to enjoy ? Is there any natural difference between the rich man and the poor man ? Is there any evidence to prove that nature has doomed the working classes to be the base and
servile slaves of the middle and aristocratic classes ? If there is , point it out , so that in future we may bow down with submission to those whom God has set up as our superiors . It is said that the people have not intelligence enough for the judicious exercise of the fran chise . Show me the difference between the proudest aristocrat and the meanest peasant ; Show me that nature has established a difference between the two ; and then I will acknowledge that the poor hard-toiling peasant should be the slave of the other , and that be on whose braw was stamped the seal of aristocracy , should ride Tough-shod over the righta and liberties of the other . Take the child of the rich mani and the child of the poor man , and yon -will find a- complete similarity . For although money , title , and a gilded canopy awaited
the rich man ' s child at its birth—although it was favoured with a royal smile cheering its infant slumbers , and although it may sway sceptres or wear a crown , when arrived at maturity , yet after all , it possesses only the same natural capabilities and ! the same germs of intellect and morality , as the child born beneath the straw roof ef the peasant , and which was deomed from its -very birth to be the * slave of j some proud and oppressing tyrant It has been assumed by some individnali that nature has given a preference to the rich over the poor ; but where is the evidence to prove the trnth of such a proposition ? Point me to the material nniverse , or to one single proof that ! nature ever inintended to give a preference to the rich over the poor ; and then I will admit the soundness of the proposition .
But how stands the facts ? Does nature withold its bountiful gifts , because the earth is tilled by the poor man ? Does the sun refuse its genial warmth , because the poor man tills the pound ? Do the winds of haaren sweep -with a terrific sound around the humble dwelling of the poor , and yet breathe with a gentle softness , and with a Zephyr ' s smile around the dwellings of the rich ? No ! and until I am put in possession of such evidence as this , I am determined to cling to the old-fashioned opinion , that until I see one man born with a saddle npon his back , and another with spurs npon his heels , I will never believe that nature has doomed one man to be the slave cf the other , or that the other should ride rough-shod over him . If all the anti-Christian and un-natural distinctions
which now disgrace our land were entirely abolished , and that love of our species which would enable us to look npon every man as our brother and to confer the sameiighi and privileges npon others that we claimed to ourselves , established in their stead , what a mighty change it would prodnce in society . . Then wonld the working classes have something to hope for ! Then would they be elevated to that position in society which God and nature intended they should occupy . The snn of liberty would then arise and shine forth in its meridian splendour npon our- beloved land , before whose bright and brilliant rays every evil and pernidouB system which has so long degraded and enslaved both the mind and body of man would die away like snow befere the natural sun . The interest of one wonld then "become the interest of alL Then would
the people mean what they say , when they sing " Britons never shall be slaves . * Such laws would then be enacted as would make our country what our would-be poets have declared her to be . the envy of surrounding nations and the admiration of the ¦ world . " And where is the man who baa the least spark of love for the land of his birth would not wish to aee it in that noble position ? And who would not assist to bring about bo desirable an object ? Arouse then , my friends , Oar silence gives consent to our own degradation . The banner of liberty is unfurled in our native land , and demands our assistance . Let us-awake from our slumbers ; let us throw off that lethargy which has so long oTer-elouded us ; and let us show to the world a glorious example of what a ttnittd people determined to be free can accomplish . We must not expect to obtain our rights , by sitting down calmly at our flresideB , and complaining of onr grievances . No , we must make
a grand struggle for liberty . No nation can be free until it is prepared to establish its own feeedom . The Government may attempt to defeat this oVject with persecution ; but in Tain . Persecution never did , nor never will , crush the spirit of liberty . They may indeed , as they have done , confine the bodies of men in dungeons ; but they cannot chain do ' n the aspiring energies of a free bom mind ; and whatevar punishment they may inflict on them , they cannot suppress the soul inspiring hope that soon a time will come when tyranny and slavery will be brought to ruin by the virtue and intelligence of an emancipated people , and on their wreck a temple raised to the name of universal liberty . Let all thuse who are desirous of bettering the condition of ; society join into one glorious band of brothers , engaged in one n- » ble cause—Liberty . Having one o ^ ect in -vie ^—ihtgood of all mankind—let us throw aside all party differences , and remain firm and t > ue to each other . Then the Go
Ternment , with all its power , with rail its dungeons , blocks , and scaffolds—with all its musketry , cannons , and bayonets , —with all its spies , hacked by a hireling priesthood and a Tenal press , will never be able to stifle the Toice of an united people , fwho know their rights and dare maintain them . And now , my friends , let us stir up that natural lore of liberty which barns within the bosom of every man ; let his strain every serve , and use every energy which God has given us , to grapple with slavery , tyranny , and oppression—drag them from their blood-stained throne of injustice , and consign them to the grave of * ternal oblivion , and
plant in their stead the pare tree of liberty-, and , having at lEast succeeded In planting tit in our mative sal , let usralJyaround it , and swear by all that is sacred , oy all that is near and dear to us , to * protect it , aiid Pour ont the last drop of onr heart ' * blood ia its aeteace .

Several opposed ir . quiry into the treasurer ' s report ; but it was agreed that Paitison ' s report be examined into . Pattison rose and said , he was prepared with' all the necessary documents . He then endeavoured to whitewash himself regarding the extraordinary manner in which the affairs of this soiree had been conducted , and endeavoured to show this an attempt had been made by certain parties to injure him , in reference to that matter . To prove that , he read part of the Glasgow correspondence of
the Northern Star of the 15 th April , where special reference was made to that soiree . He compared the correspondence of the Star with the Arabian Night ' s Entertainments , to be read only to be be-] ie > ed as falsehood . He ab&sed the Glasgow cor * respondent as a novice , who did cot know the A B C of politics . ; After a few thrusts at the Editor of the Star , he sat down , declaring he was about to give Hp politics ; ( " Yep , like the rats who fly from a falling houiBe . ") The meeting , which by this time was reduced to eleven , broke up . Now , for the lying reports of the Star . Pattison and his friends feel sore at the exposure made in the columns of the Star on tbe 15 th April . This despicable " loon " states what he knows to be false , when he denies
the accuracy of the Glasgow correspondence of the 15 th April ; Pattison is at a loss as to who wrote that paragraph . For his edification I , John Colqnhoun tell bimthat Iwroteit ; and , furthert that lam prepared to defend before tbe people of Glasgow , in public meeting assembled , every word therein contained . " The lying xeportaof the Star , " indeed ] Let W . Pattison explain to the satisfaction of the public , through what means he got possession of the minute book of the late Ctntral Committee , and the pan be acted in connection with this own favourite scheme ) the " National Printing and Publishing Company "; bubble . Will he meet me before a meeting of those who were victimised in that matter ?
Pattison , I know all about it ; I was done out of one half-crown . I paid it in the hopes of saving my friends from the intended juggle . I failed to convince them—are they convinced now 1 Yea , long ago . Does Mr . Paulson suppose I have forgotten his conduct iu the matter of Robert Malcolm , senior , and John Canning , when the necessary information was kept back for some months , till I extorted the truth at a meeting in the College Open . Yes ; that troublesome fellow John Colquhoun , saved the Association £ 25 on that occasion . These are the reports which trouble such as this " ioon . " When this calumniator clears up these and a few other points , we shall then discuss the u lying reports of the Star . "
