EXTRACT from the Columbian Centinel.
If the enlightened friend of humanity would exhibit, to mankind, a system exemplifying the serene majesty of republicanism, he need not recall, from the grave, the age, when Athens shook beneath the fulminating action of Demosthenes, or when Rome hung on the mellifluent tongue of Tully. For the purpose of ascertaining the art of republicanism, instead of conjuring up the dead, let him consult the living!—Let him observe, that POLITICAL STRUCTURE in the WESTERN SPRING OF DAY, and point the world to its unrivalled order, and arrangement! While the LUMINOUS EDIFICE commands the admiring eye of Philosophy, and presents a model of the grand proportions that become the RESPLENDENT TEMPLE OF UNIVERSAL LIBERTY.
