But, is it in America, thr Land of Freedom—the empire, in whose charter the lovliest feature is the princi pic of uoiversai i deration: is it in this boss ted a-ylum of the oppressed of every dime, that, with the confidence of one who ut ters admitted truism*, the reproach of dis honesty is cast, in religiun’s name, upon a numerous class of our fellow men end fel low citizens? Yes, it is even here, that the detestation of Omnifotenck is de nounced against all who are of the race of Israel. , With religious controversies on doctri nal points we have no concern. It is not in that light that we feel it our duty, to notice this article, after in vain looking for a reply to it wheie it first appeared: but it is because of its outrage on social feeling,.and its inculcation of. malignant intolerance. What, let us ask, is a Jew? A fellow man; a member of s particular sect- How distinguished from moat other sects? By a difference ot opinion on reli- gious tenets. Is difference of religion,one utan from another, in this country, a crime? If it be, who shall judge between us? Is it nut on the contrary, a right, guar anteed by the constitution of our country, and consecrated by the consent and ap probation of successivegenerations of free men? This is not the first time that illiberali- ty towards our fellow citizens of the Jew ish persuasion has been publicly exhibited, but it is the first time we have seen it in so undisguised a dre>s. \fe enter our pro test against it as worthy of the fourteenth or fifteenth century,but uol adapted to tile intellectual improvement and civilization of our times. Heretics are not burnt in these days; though alter such a preface we should not have been surprized by a proposal to revive the laws de hereticocom - burendo.

It is sufficiently seen, that, however oppres sion in the other hemisphere may have de graded this unfortunate race, they fail not, uuderthe influence of a government foaiid- ed in reason, and tolerating alike all reli gions, like other men to attain tliat station hi society to which their respective inutal characters and abilities entitle them.

On this question six were for, aud six against it. Thus, free dom and independence, and slavery and submission, were on an equilibrium. Pen sylvania was equally divided; and it re quired but one vote to turn the scale. The whole can be better understood, by'qdot ing a passage from the pamphlet of Mr Galloway, which wah published in London in 1779 This gentleman was a member at the time from that colony, and voted against the 1 declaration of independence He afterwards went to England, and was examined before a committee of the Bti ish parliament on American affairs, this he saysc “Their debates lasted near a fortnight, and when the question was put, six colo nies divided against six. The delegates for Pennsylvania being also divided, the questiou remained undecided. However, one of the members of that colony be in; wrought upon by Samuel Adams’ arts, changed hu opinion, and upon the ques tion the next day, it was carried in the affirmative by a single vote only” “What mighty destinies rested on this small point.

Xetus now hear the Busto The Cometof 1811.—Our readers may recollect that the public were much amus ed at the period ot tiie . appearance of this comet, by the various attempts which were made to. calculate the length of its tail. A German astronomer of the name of Schro- eter, has lately published a memoir upon this subject. It results upon his calcula tions, that the tail of that comet was 13jl85,200 geographical miles, being a lit tle-more titan hal t the distance of the earth to the sun.- 'Professor Schroeter explains this extraordinary .extent, by supposing there exists around the sun to a great dis tance from it, a subtle matter susceptible of becoming luminous by thp combined io- fluence of the sun and comet, and .which is; not uniformly distributed in thpse vast regions. The author seems also inclined to.adopt the idea, from the appearance of the comets of 1807 and 11, that indepen dent of an attractive force possessed by' Comets considered as matter, they are gifted with a "repuiatvfe and impolsive force, greatly ..analogous to our^ elective force, ant) Which are pat in actiou accord ing jo th&juss and physical properties of MONTPELIER.
