Th: ad of the ttth of Febru 1r * i7q), un der which* t% reLe&on's have heretofore given their fuf frages, has the following appropriate clause, (viz.) *’ Th tt at the general elccli- Oh which Hull be hel l lor members of the Gsn-ral Aliembly oh the liril M n ---day in Odaber one thou fxnd eight hundred, and at every fecood General SSledioh therea ! tir, the c ledors at fach ‘elections sh ill voce for numbers to teprefent xh*3 It ue in the Haafe of ReprefeatatiVes ‘©f ths - tpnited States.” B y Which it appears that! the law does not defigmte the two heretofore lea': uoJer the former ait of Coiigrels, but wai wifely left open sh ai to embrace any addition al nan > r that might ac crue u l ier the cenlixs then to be taken.

To tfft editor: A Divine hot lon* Gnce in .the hearing of a number, of your readers, laid, in the course of ha firman, ** T'Wt the firft clay of itu i’s life being the favepth from the creation of the world, was the Sihbpith, whicli was orderly obferv* cd bv the anti dituoian peo ple.” . It his long Gace been ac knowledged by divines, tor feripture will not war rant them in believing any thing to the contrary, th'if the days of the Patriarchs were spent without the ob fervaaoh of any day, as -a tiivio: iajlir.iri'*'*. Nor ’ * ■ # was there made toman any institution bearing the flight* elt relemblance to ietung apart as holy, a periodical portion of time, until the palling of the children cf lfreal through the wilder nels. At tms time they, were commanded to g idl er a double portion oi’ rai’ ; na on the morning of every ftxth day, and to abHain from any prdvifion of the kind bn the seventh. Soon after this, the Sabbath was inliituted according to Vhe fourth law cf tlic Mosaic decalogue; ’ Thele inftitutionn. hap pened many years after the flopd. IV e all Acknowledge, that the seventh day from the beginning of time, was hakowed, aiid confecrat-. ed for divine purpofeg, But pointedly deny, that fever It wars /? xiedly kept, as ftcred. by mankind, du ring that tpace of time which elapsed before the deluge ; nor for many years alter. If the divine ip able to lubflanthste hisalfartioos, as true in this iullaitce, we will give hun all the credit of an original thinker; or he mull certainly procure aid from fbme caraaoltgifi of whom no mao.; bntbun fdf: has ever heard. This’ we do not think probable- Fdnhcr, he laid, th it the Sab oath now Observed, was th; dov which could be V ¥ m and; appear, as devolving in orderly fuccelS >n,’ from period to period, after, id tervah of fix days, from the day fi r lt consecrated; (i. e.) yeti after time. This unequivocally and pererna. tortiy gives the poor Jews the lie 5 as well as all who lived from the fettling of Canaan to the refurredion of Chrill. We believe the divine arrogitecl to himfelf. the knowledge of things, entirely out of the circle of hum, in know ledge, and for this realon we will not be f ofoo'ijh as to aik him upon what he grounded his calculations. When We conlider that his dtta were conceived in the womb of JiippofUijn, we can but believe his deduc tioa .to be the offspring pf th* probability of error in hir cooje&ures.
