That they have not vet obtained it, we are willing to aicribe to that pacific [pint which would rather it should be the offspring of time, than the efiedt of an exertion of power ; to that principle, which would “ reilore to facial intcrcourfc that har mony which ic had loft;” and to a define to convince the enemies of government, thatjus tice and moderation, inltead of their example, would be the rule cf its conduct. A FRIEND TO TRUTH. For the GEORGIA REPUBLICAN. Messrs. LYON & MORSE. It is not unfrequent that we find the Porr- Foiio, in its faired pages, quoted by the edi tors of the Mule uni ; thus giv mg repute to the paper, which would be universally con demned, were its absurdities and pernicious contents fully known* It is a boast of our federal citizens that exclufive advocates for the chriftian religion and the promoters cf good order [as indeed every well disposed person ought to bel Let us therefore; fift this federal Port-Folio, and lee whether it contains chaffy-ftuff or divine admonition in its 31 and 3 2 Nos. Let us follow the famous editor through his columns crammed with arrogant lcurriii ty against the religious denominations ex iting in the United States, and, in a low palpable manner, fcandalifmg the charac ters of the southern inhabitants. “ Vol. 2d. No. 31. “From the German of Bulow.” “ Fanatic* Se&s See.” Having called all the religious denominations, with out diferin ination fanatical, he deferibes the shaking Quakers in New-York, after the fol lowing manner : “With the right hand flretched out before them, they go through hedges, marshes and ditches, over mountains and valleys, amidli horrible yells, constantly forward. They then whirl themselves around upon one heel with aflonifhing fwiftnefs—then dance in a round, and proceed in this manner with dreadful howling, the whole night through. All this diverts the Holy Golf excessively, & is absolutely necessary for eternal lalvarion.** Had he said no more of religion, he might have found belief with a few ; with re gard to the above narrative, but he has fa bricated a series of falsehood, which, with a ny reader of common information, mult de feat all the credibility he laboured to obtain. But he proceeds: Methodist preachers wan der all over the country, and wherever a knot of people are afiembled they are sure in a trice to have a sermon. They often prac tice likewise something worse than fermonif ing. A methodist preacher for inltance, met (in the high way, in a wood, a common loose woman. He grew warm ; and made propo sals ; which found a ready ear. He took the wench to a tavern and gave her out for Ids wife. In the night, the woman was de livered of a child ; and lift! it Was s mulatto !! He r.ex: diverts his spleen with the Prcf byterians, a denomination whose leligious zeal and Christian integrity is owned by the molt competent in our union. “ He char ges them v;:th exhibiting from the pulpits; cliildrena (pan long there are roasting in hell” and here tearing that r.o person would credit the assertion, adds, £C these words were really Ipokcn.” But 1 fuppofie by Dennies Bulow. Speaking of the Prefoytcrians in New- Engl ind, he continues : “ these hypocrites praclife their evil arts, concealed behind a pedantic mask of religious rigour and, it may m ta<fl be laid, they hold the I?ible in one hand, while they Real v.ith the ether. Such conduct naturally flows from their princi ples.—l may heie remark that, when the Devil judges, thefentencemufl be hard: and as this infidel judges of religion, so does fe deral Dannie judge of the prelect adminiftra tijns* As to Presbyterians, Quakers and Metho dist; he Lvs thar, “ felf-intercft is the idol they worth ip, and Goldin truth the only ob ject of their adoration. From them proceeds the absurd lav/, with ref ebt to the Sunday, which forbids all singing, unlefsitbe Pfilms. 1 In a country of universal toleration, it is ve ry extraordinary that even the Jews are oblig ed to ihuc their Lops upon Sundays.” Un chai it able judge of the chriftian objeft! In judicious luge of good order under universal toleration ! _ * H;s next ciiobohcal effort is to insinuate the mode ofßaptifm used by the Anabaptists at Skuyikill, near Philadelphia, as defigokl to gratify a pricftjy and carnal propensity to wards the fair lex. “ “Veung grown iij) anabaptifts girls, many of whom are very pretty, undress the/rheives ; the pried takes them before him, and trirows them dawn backwards into the river. This happens both morning and evening, 1 have often met them upon their return from this baptismal bath to the city; they were always remarkably fro ficiome.” Il r itb solemn Hush, let modesty despise ; Religion scorns such base malignant lies. Not wearied yet with incredible absurdi ties, this Dennie makes his Bulow gufti forth with infatiahie calumny, in Ins subsequent number, (32) against the inhabitants of the- Southem flares.-—With his biiingfgate (lander he thus begins. “In the southern dates, especially Georgia and South-Carolina, a fine gentleman, so called, is regularly, every eve ning so drunk, as to be unabled to walk, and lays therefore in the streets. In the tireets of Savanna!], you fturnble a: every step, over the body of a deadly drunker, gentleman of liber al education, upon which you hear people fay “ never mind ; the gentleman is a little in liquor.” The wom an z re defmed bv their husbands, who all run after the negro wenches.” No di(crimination made, no fatuical dfica cv can result—all on a level, therefore; all is fidion—all absurd—all lies! The preceding afoerffons against religious denominations and ridicule of the southern inhabitants; are but coincident with the fan atical lpiric daily difcoverablc among the in fiduous class of the federal votaries, whoever their ipLen against the preftrnt adminiflration. That there are fome refpedtabie ch a rafters at tached to the federal party, mult be owned ; but that their influential leaders are afpirinir to monarchy anl a deftrufrion of freedom in religious exerciies, with me appeals no ids true. Had we now an Addison v/iih his golden balance, to try federalihn against re publicanism, in order afeertain who are the real advocates (or freedom in religion, good order in iociety, and the ilippoit of our con ilittstion ; I preiume that the former would “ rapidly kick the beam.” A South-Carolinian.

September 18, 1802. it. SAVANNAH, September 25, 1802. It is the uniform prafbfe of the tories, when any thing appears against them, instead of replying, to attempt to ilab the character of the author In these attempts, r.o walks are too sacred for their murderous purpose—eve- ry movement of life is examined for the ma lignant aim of the poisoned arrow; —even the delivery of the marriage bed is violated and unhappy family differences, o( which none hut the individuals themselves can have a competent knowledge, are called into view to enable the public to judge of the merits of a political essay. Such is the nature cf the pretended sketch of the'biography of Abraham Bifnop, which was extruded from the Connedicut Courant to be placed in the ultimate fink of federal filth, the Savannah Mu feu m. Mr. B shop has repeatedly denied fcveral of the charges and challenged the authors tc affix their names to their produdions. This they dare not do ; but about once a month appears one of these anonymous a (Tiffins re peating the ofc confuted charges in anew form. The public will judge what mud be their charader. Such is the resort of toryif n.

A Correspondent observes that Mr. Ho! combe’* and refs to Mefrs Lyon & Morse is a uemporal attack ; unfounded on, and uncon nected with religion ; prompted by vanity, a desire of appealing in the press, and of being confi.lered as the modern “.defender of tine faith.” The piece is a measure subservient to Connecticut prieftcraft, to federal intole rance and to a desire of joining his efforts with that difcornfttted party to injure the pre sent paper. _ It is in vain. The die is cast, Repnbiicanifin is triumphant, and “ the Church in danger,” the c!d English cant, vvili j not abate the exertions of the friends of the] people. If Mr. Holcombe had had religion in O view, he would have remonstrated like a man of humility : not like a talk-matter ; an in quificorial pedagogue. The support of fed eral politics is, jubfi anti ally y his aim ; for religion has not been attacked. To throw a part of the community into thvifions on tins lubjecl, is the view of the writer in the Museum, and therefore, as unchristian as’ his performance was premature and unnecef idrv.
