ODE TO PEACE.
BESCFND fwer* peace,and gi!d tlie year;
l’rdide o'er every Sect*" ;
Al! hearts with grateful influence cluar ;
And charm the sportive greeu.
To thee we all our hleflings oWe ;
On thee cur thoughts are bent ;
Thy Toothing voice calms every Voe ;
* Thy smiles ensure content.
In va'n, thy presence if deriv'd,
Abundance opes the door;
No longer health our Heps'will guide,
And joy we feel no more.
O hade sweet Peace, and crown the morn,
Aufpiciou* power appear;
From every bread pluck every thorn,
And dty up every tear.
From liodi’e swords, and alarms,
Our didant co3fl proteCl ;
And tho’ the trumpet founds to arms,
Thy favourite Ilk refpeil
O come sweet peace, with gentle fwa,
Thy halluw’d rites maintain ;
Come ever chearful,ever gay,
With virtue in thy train.
For thee the Muses tone their Iym;
By tlue are taught to ftng ;
Fair commerce lives and art afpirei.
Beneath thy lettering wing.
Then hade, and here forever reign |
And to our prayers be kind ;
Fut happiness can ne’er remain
Where Peace forfakes the Mind.

PROSPECTUS
OJ a Weekly Publication,
TO BE ENTITLED THP.
RELIGIOUS REPOSITORY.
BY W. A. RIND
Georgetown, (Dist. rs Columbia )
THE Editor begs leave to
offer this work to the attention
and patronage of the Method
ise Society in particular, not
only hacaule it is thought pro.
per to give it a decided charac
ter,, but because the connexion
a: peiient have no religious ve
hicle of the kind, nor have they
had since the dilcominuance oI
their Magazine, which was pub
lilh' H some years ago.
15 ah the Pn-fbyterians and
L; ilcopalians have under their
patronage monthly pubiications
devoted to the fame fitbjefts
proposed to be embraced by
his work.
The Editor, however, flatters
himfeif that this publication will
potTefs foine advantages over .
thoTe that arc only iflued month- j
ly, in furnifhing early religious
intelligence, and he hopes it will
afford greater latisfaftion to
readers in general, as in Rich
works ihe fame (übjefts and ac
counts are continued in a leries
of numbers.
But since this woik is to be
devoted to the interefl of reli-
Ngion, both in its doctrine and
experience, and will likewise in
clude the fubjeft of morality,
\ve think it entitled to the grea
ter attention; and we wish it to
he diftinftly uuderHood, that as
it lias for its object the diffufion
of religious information, the
fubjeft of politics will not be
introduced.
In the feripture sense of the
term, religion embraces not on
ly what we are to believe, but
more especially what we muff
experience of its great truths in
our hear.s. Morality implies,
not only that men should do no
harm, but that they fnould be
aftively and zeaioufly engaged
in aft* of benevolence Sc works
of righitoufnefi!. It would then
appear that religion coniifts in
what we believe Sc experience,
and morality in that faith and
experience reduced into prac.
tice. True religion and mor
ality go hand in hand, and mu
tually support each other.--
M’here there is not morality,
there cannot he religion, and
we are disposed to think likewise
there cannot be genuine moral*
v
ity withetit religion. Inffead
then of drawing our ideas of
morality from principles foun
ded on natural right, let us look
to a higher source —to religion
—and to that religion taught
by our Lord Jesus Ohrid.—
Religion alone has power to
persuade with celerity, because
it excites passion while it in
forms the underltanding—be
caufe it alone has the means of
rendet;ng obvious what it recom
mends— because it fpcaks in the
name of Goo, audit is cafv to
infpiie tefpeft for him whole
power is every where evident
to the eyes of the simple and
ciifccrning—to the eyes of chil
dren and inen of mature under
standing.
It will be expefted that the
religious part of the community
in particular will patronize a
publication of this kind. I
claims the attention of religious
denominations of all deferip
tions, not only as fubferibers,
but as contributors ofeffays and
communications, on the fub
jefts it proposes to
Almost every political publica
tion has met with generous pat
ronage—and to such, religious
characters have not failed to
contribute their part. But while
they have thus aided in diffufing
political information, they will
not furelv reflcft on their pro
feffion, by withholding fiom
this their influence and support.
But v/e think this work forci
bly recommended itfclf to the
attention of the enlightened po
litician, 'I hat man docs not
deserve the name of politician,
who is unconscious of the in
fluence of religion and morality
upon the good government arid
happiness of society—weak, in
deed, are the rcftrainls of hu
man laws and honor, unaided
by the obligations and precepts
of religion, upon the ambition
and avarice of wicked mgn.—
Without the influence of religi.
on. these passions may he ex
pefted to triumph over the law
and every principle ofjuflice.
J he “ Religious Repository”
will be a colleftion of original
and well feleftcd pieces on reli*
gion and morality, and will serve
likewise to record the revivals
of religion, particularly at camp
| meetings, and also to preserve
a short account of the lives,
Payings and deaths of eminent,
ly pious characters ; and thus
{hall we u gather up the frag,
ments, Sc nothing will be loft-”
In addition it will contain fe.
left and original pieces of na
tural hilicry, together with in.
(tractive and pleasing anecdotes.
The Editor has already enga.
gedibe affiflance of his friends,
us well of the miniltry as others;
and he particularly requeff the
travelling and local preachers
of the connexion, to forward to
him, from time to time, such
communications as mav be cm.

At about 4 o’clock yefterdav
afternoon a journeyman (hoe.
maker was violently torn from
his work, put into • cart, tar
red & feathered, paraded thro’
fevera! of the ftrects oft hi* city,
and afterwards landed at the
place from whence he was taken
by the fame party who carried
him away.
The circumstances which led
to this event, we are informed,
are as follows : Ihe fuflercr is
an Enghlhman, and, frequently
outrageous in his expreflions of
hostility again(l the government
and people of the U. States.
At a late meeting of the « Jour
neymen Shoemaker’s Society,”
he curled all the Americans, in
diferiminately as a pack of rebels
to their king and rafeals to each
other—and hoped to fee the day
when one of his majesty’s lons
would obtain his just rights over
these states and be their king.
He damned the president and the
government in ihe molt bitter
manner, and hoped, when the
Britilh came here, as he intend
ed to join them, to have the
plealureof Ihooting the presi
dent, &c. &c. Such converfa
lions, we are informed, were
frequent with him, and the fuu
ation of thole compelled, from
the nature of their bufffefs, to
be his alfociates, tlpus rendered
iiklome and uncomfortable.
He was freqentiy warned to
guard his tongue, and threaten
ed with tar and feathers if he
would not. He (till persisted,
and met the di(after, according
to the promiie of his fellow
craftsmen•

information we can obtain and
