ABNER DAVIS. Of M. M. NOAH, Governor and Judge of Israel, delivered in Buffalo, the 15M. Sep- tember, 1825, at the founding of a City of Refuge for the Jews. BROTHERS, COUNTRYMEN & FRIENDS, Having made known by proclamation the re-establishment of the Hebrew 'govern- ment, having laid the foundation of a city of refuge, ah asylum for the oppressed, in this free and happy republic, I avail myself of that portion ofmy beloved brethren here assembled, together with this concourse of my fellow-citizens, to unfold the principles, explain the views and detail the objects con- templated in the great work of regeneration and independence to which it has pleased the Almighty to direct my attention. Truth and justice demand that I should candidly state the motives which have induced me to aim at higher objects than mere coloniza- tion. The world has a right to know what inducements have led to this declaration of independence, and what measures are con- templated to carry the design into success- ful execution. The peace of mankind— the security of persons and property—the changes incidental to the revival of the Jewish government—the progress and effect of emigration, and all those vicissitudes a- rising from change of climate—new laws and new society, admonish me to be expli- cit in my declarations and candid' in my statements. I shall not deceive the expec- tations of the world. Two thousand years have nearly elapsed since the dissolution of the Jewish govern- ment, and no period has presented itself more auspiciously than-the present for its reorganization. Peace exists among civil- ized powers, the march of learning and sci- ence has been rapid and successful, and mankind are at this day better qualified to estimate the blessings of toleration and libe- ral views, and better disposed and capacita- ted to encourage and enforce them, than at any former time. Religion generally,though divided and subdivided into various sects, as- sumes a milder aspect, and lelings of uni- versal love and charity have superceded the darkness and bigotry of former ages. The nations of the old and new world, including the children of Africa, have had their rights acknowledged, and their governments re- cognised. The oldest of nations, powerful in numbers and great in resources, remains insolated, without a home, a country or a government. The Jews have been destined by Provi- dence to remain a distinct people. Though scattered over the f.ice of the globe, they still retain their homogeneousness of char- acter—the peculiarity of their tenet, the identity of their f nth. In their prosperity and adversity they have uniformly been the chosen people—proud of their God, proud of their distinction, and even proud of their sufferings. Bending before the tribunals of power, yielding to persecution and torture, tranquil in misfortune, and resigned to fate, they patiently endured not meanly surren- dered, they bravely defended their rights and the rights of their country, and have never despaired of divine protection or giv- en up hopes of human justice. Looking forward to a period of regenera- tion and to the fulfilment of the prophesies, the Jews have preserved within themselves the elements of government in having care- fully preserved the oracles of God assigned to their safe keeping, and the time has ar- rived when their rights as a nation can be recognised, when, in the enjoyment of in- dependence, the lights of learning and ci- vilization, and the obligation of industry and morality, they can cultivate a friendly nnd affpcttonntp understanding with the whole family of mankind and have no lon- ger enemies on earth. In calling the Jews together under the protection of the American Constitution and laws, and governed by our happy and salu- tary institutions, it is .proper for me to state that this asylum is temporary and provision- ary. The Jews never should and never will relinquish the just hope of regaining possession of their ancient heritage, and events in the neighborhood of Palestine in- dicate an extraordinary change of affairs. The Greeks are almost independent of the Ottoman Porte. The Turkish sceptre be- comes weaker daily. Russia will march upon Constantinople. The Egyptians are cultivating the useful arts, and are encour- aging commerce and agriculture. The Turks, driven beyond the P>osphorus, may leave the land of Canaan free for the occu- pancy of Unrightful owners, and the wealth and enterprize of the Jews may make it desirable to reclaim their former possessions by and with the consent of the christian powers, who, more enlightened, and conse- quently more tolerant, may be duly impres- sed with a^sjgige of Justice due to an' inju- bondage and conducted to the promised land, by the illustrious legislator of the Jews and the great benefactor of mankind.

Called together to the Holy Land by the slow but unbaring ringer of Providence, the Jews, coming from every quarter of the Globe, would bring with them the language, habits and prejudices of each country.— Assimilating only in religious doctrines, and divided on temporal affairs, they would present innumerable difficulties in organ- izing under any form of government, and the diversity of opinions and views would create factions as dangerous and difficult to t .llay as those fatal ones which existed in the ime of the first and second Temples. It is in this country 1 that the government of the Jews must be organized. Here, uhder the influence of perfect freedorn, they may study Laws—cultivate their minds, acquire liberal principles as to men and measures, and qualify themselves to direct the en- ergies of a just and honorable government m the land of the Patriarchs. •° Conforming therefore to the constitution and laws of the United States, theTf1s\tt8 of superior quality, for Family use, manufactured at WaterlooMills, kept for Sale—by R. M. BAYLY. February lS^saa.. - •... 18 Moral, political and ecclesiastical code of laws, which the Almighty, through Moses, presented to the children of Israel, forms, even at this day, the basis of every civil and religious institution. The victorious Joshua settled the Israelites in the land of Canaan, and divided it according to tribes. After a short interregnum on his death, the gov- ernment of the Judges commenced, which existed 300 years until it was merged in thfe kingdom which commenced.with SauLand terminated after a»brilhant epoch in the cap- tivity. The government of the High Priests succeeded and continued 428 years, follow- ed by the Maccabean Kings of Judah, and the nation became finally dispersed under Herod.the Idumean. In selecting from the pririiitive, the judi- cial, the regal and sacerdotal governments, a form best adapted to the times, and also to the condition of the Jewish people, I have deemed it expedient to re-organize the nation under the direction of the Judges. The authority of the Judges extend to all religious, military and civil concerns— they were absolute and independent, like the. Kings of Israel and Judah, without the ensigns of Sovereignty. The Judges were immediately from the people, mingling in their deliberations, directing their energies, commanding their armies and executing their laws. The office, which was not he- reditary, conforms in some respect to that of Chief Magistrate, and is in accordance with the genius and disposition of the peo- ple of this country. It is difficult at this period to decide with certainty on the manner and forms adopted in choosing the Judges of Israel. Most of the distinguished men who had filled that station were \ raised up\ by divine influ- ence. Their skill jrtwjaJ, and wisdom in peace, their valour* and experience, their capacity to govern, and\ incidental and ne- cessary qualifications, calculated to excite public confidence, were passports to office. Dispersed as the nation now is, and no possibility of concentrating the general voice, there can be no just power to grant— no right to withhold—the office must be as- sumed by divine permission, and the power exercised by general consent and approba- tion. He who assumes this power, who takes the lead in the great work of regene- ration, and judges righteously, will always be sustained by public opinion. By this test I wish to be judged. Born in a free country, and educated with liberal principles, familiar with all the duties of government, having enjoyed the confidence of my fellow-citizens in various public trusts—ardently attached to the prin- ciples of our holy faith, and having devo- j ted years of labor and study to ameliorate the condition of the Jews, with an unsul- | lied conscience and a firm reliance on AI-! mighty God, I offer myself as an humble ! instrument of his divine will and solicit the confidence and protection of our beloved brethren throughout the world. If there be any person possessing greater facilities and a more ardent zeal in attempting to re- ; store the Jews to their rights as a sovereign and independent people, to such will I cheerfully surrender the trust. I cannot be insensible to the many diffi- culties which may present themselves in the successful progress of the great work of re- generation. The attempt may be pronoun- ced visionary and impracticable—the reluc- tance of some to countenance the effort— the timidity of others, and the apprehen- sions of all, may be arrayed against an en- terprize, extraordinary and interesting, but always feasible. I indulge in no chimeri- cal views. I know this country, its soil, climate and resources, and confidently em- bark in the undertaking. Firm of purpose, when the object is public good, I allow no difficulties to check my progress. Urged to its consideration by strong and irresisti- ble impulse, the project has always presen- ted itself to me in the most cheering light, in the most alluring colors; and if the at-, tempt shall result in ameliorating the con- dition of the Jews, and shall create a gen- erous and liberal feeling towards them and open to them the avenues of science, learn- ing, fame, honor and happiness, who shall say that I have failed? I ask the trial—and will abide the result. The Hebrew nation, with its sublime Theocracy, its moral laws, its warlike cha- racter and powerful government, originated in a family of shepherds. From an ances- try not more illustrious, arose the heroes and sages of Greece, and to the neglected children of the forest was Rome, once mis- tress of the world, indebted for existence. From origins the most humble, and from projects the most doubtful, the world has been indebted for signal benefits and bles- sings. A few pilgrims, driven to our conti- nent by European persecution, have laid the foundations of a splendid empire. We have less difficulties to encounter, because we are surrounded by civilization; and a few Jews in this happy land, admonished by the past, and animated by anticipations of the future, may increase rapidly and prosperously, and under good government and wholesome laws, may fall back in time towards the Pa- cific Ocean, and possess a country the most fertile as it is capacious and valuable. We have long been captives in a land of stran- gers : we have long, submitted patiently to oppression : we have long amticiusly expec- ted a temporal deliverence * but throughout the most terrible periods of calamity, we have done nothing for ourselves. • Tho Al- mighty, who has co'vtssed.tis with the shield of his paternal lovtej has given us moral a- gents, by which, wiih his divine aid, we are to affect our qftm denvere'rice.
