RECANTATION OF A DEIST.
" AN EXTRACT.
“H ’W, say they, came this man so suddenly
to change bis principles, and from a fierce de
fender of deism, instantly become an apparent
7-ealot in the cause of Christianity?” To this
I answer, that the change was by no means so
sudden as they may imagine; for 1 had doubts
long before i knew their meaning, and when I
did. I kept them within my own breast; and 1
candidly confess that I was determined not to
part with favorite principles on slighter or fljm
pro f; especially as I saw that a recantation
would bring upon me every species of imput
ed infamy (hat malice could invent: but doubt
succeeded doubt, and circumstance after cir
who are not enemies to Christmmty, to-give it
one insertion, that the fathers and heads
of families,, may hold it up as a warning to the
young and giddy; that neighbors may guard
each otfier against the prevailing poison, and
that deists, especially, may be inclined to pause
a moment, and, if possible—consider. -
dour between the hours of 10 in the morning and 4 in the j p 0site syste ms, and bring them both to that

By their jruits
knouJ them.”
The result of my enquiries then, take as fol
lows.
1. That I never saw, beard, or read of any
man, woman or child that was reformed, either
ia whole or io part, by embracing the prioci
pies of deism.
2. That I have known hundreds, and heard
of thousands who have been reformed by em
bracing Christianity:
8. That I hHVe known industrious, sober
men, who imbibing the principles of deism, al
most instantly became desperately wicked and
in many instances dangerous members of civil
society:
4. That I hav: known some deists, and ma-
nv scoff-r« at ail religion, speedily, and effec
11dally turned from the most abandoned prac
tices, by the preaching of the Gospel, to a life
•f rigbteou-nes> vvi ich shewed linnlf by sobrie-
tv, charity, brother'y kindness and universal
philnnthropv
6 That I do not recollect ever hearing hut
one deist profess really to believe in u future
state of rewards and punishments
6 That I never met with a man who pro
posed to be a real Christian, bur what htiilf his
principal hopes upon the reality of a future
state.
7. Tn.-rt I cannot, in al! the deistical wri
tings, find any laws to prevent wickedness, or
enct urajje virtue, with rewards & punishments
annexed thereto
8 That in the scriptures all the crimes that
man can possiblv commit, are under the <ev« r
est penalties, forbidden, and every po-c;b!e
virtue inculcated and encouraged, by promises
of eternal and. exceeding great rewards
9. That I have known some deists, and
read of many, who, at the apparent point of
death, were seized with tbe most horrible rfe.—
pair, uttering the most bitter reflections against
Hu rnse’vfs fer this total neglect of those duties
commanded in the Gospel. But whoever heard
of a Christian at the hour of death, despairing
of the mercy of Gnd. because he had all his
life-time rejected deism, anti shun> ed tin 1 cam
pnny of its professor*? or even when long and
fiarce diseases had shaken the nervous system,
and raging fevers inflamed the blood, hav#-
they ever been so far deranged, as to wish
they bad never been born, for not rejecting
the Bible, as a wicked and nnschicveous im
position upon the human race?
From the above th. n, what reflections must
arise but that deism is essentially bad ami na
turally produces wickedness by taking away
the foundation of all virtue; viz: the love and
fear of Godl for what man can either love or
' fear God who really believes he intends to an
nihiinte him, body, soul and 6pint,or blend him
with the common nra>s of inanimate matter, or
send him after al! his toil and care, bodily pain
anti mental sorrow, to Vegetate in common
trrass; or bore animated, as chance directs, in
to reptiles, insects or beastial.form ? With
such unmanly doglike f«rh as this, awav fly ail
love, regard and fear of God Laborious vir
lue, bv this faith, is transformed inlo the cx
trome ol madnes; vice and pleasurable wicked
ness, into the most just and rational pursuit of
man; nay crimes of every ma oitude may he
committed with impunity for if man be not
immortal God is not omnipotent to punish his
delinquency:—therefore, when he has become
obnoxious to the laws of man, he may, by the
tatal ball, the suffocating stream, or poisonous
draught, put himself out of the power ot laws,
moral or divine, & nd thus completely escape
both temporal and eternal just icc.
And now, my old deistical friends, I ask you
in the name of your boasted reason, are these
notions, calculated to reform, or, to corrupt man
kind—to create, or to destroy social order, con
curd, harmony and civil liberty? -Are they not
in their very uature, calculated to sap the foun
dation of virtue, produce immortality, breed
confusion, and totally destroy all confidence be
ttveen man and man? and whether that ver>
system you so ardently oppose, is not the only
means of curbing-the furious progress of your
pernicious tenets; which wou'd, it once become
u iversal, turn this earth into a H .'il, and in
vulve even vourselvo in such unexpected mis
ery, as would make you sincerely prav for the
return of that religion, which you would the-n
see, can only stem the torreut of lawless villai
ny by humanizing the obdurate heart—and
which alone can bend the stubborn will of man
into hurntde obedience, and strict conformity to
the laws of heaven
I conclude, oy asserting that the foregoing is
the effect of cool and deliberate reflections—
that the sole end I hav- in view bv the publica
tion thereof, is, if possible, to undo what land
others t&ve done, towards the propagation of de
ism ^ 1 have herein stated facts and advanced
opinions, and for the truth of the one, and the
sincerity oft he other. Ido in the most solemn
manner, appeal to the God of my ezrstenee—»nd
as such, I request all the editors of newspapers,

its prospects of future usefulness, together
with the attention paid by the qjimeroua and

Revivals.—It must be truly gratifying to the friends of
religion to learn the number of revivals that have lately
taken place in our towns and colleges. lit Charleston,

From the New York Commercial, Eveuing
Post, Courier, Gazette. Daily Advertiser and
Journal of Commerce, we make the extracts
which follow.
Thq intelligence from the Poles is still favo
mble The utmost that the Russian General
has attempted is to concentrate his forces, and
to pursue a system of cautious defensive war
fare. In the meantime the insurrection is
spreading in Volhynia, where Gen. Dwernicki
is received every where with much euthusi
a*.m
! Boll’s Weekly Messenger, o! the 1st May,
says: ’ VVe have received letters from Warsaw
to the 18th ult. which contain gratifying intel
ligence ot the continued success ol’ the Poles,
and of the rapid spread of the .nsurrechoj —
It would appear that Marshal Diebitsh is con
centrating his army round Siedlec, and thinks
-only of keeping possession of Siedlec and Lu
blin, in order to ensure a free communication
with the Russian Provinces. Meanwhile Gen.
D.verniki has eutcred Volhynia, and ha9 every
where been received wub enthusiasm. It is
reported that he has .encountered and beaten
the force of the Russian General Rudiger.—
We have, however, no official intelligence of
this event, but the despatches which have ar
rived leave no doubt of the extension of the
insurrection into Volhynia.’*
The Prussian State Gazette of Aprill 22,
contains the following official article:
From the Russian Head Quarters April 14.—
Field Marshal Count Dtebusch transferred his
bead quarters on the 10th to Siediir, where the
whole Pussian army is united. The enemy
had avoided the attacks at all points, and the
badness of the road continued to make rapid
movements impossible; and as such largo mus
es of troops could not find sustenance in a
country already exhausted the Russian com
tnauder judged it beat to effect his union with
the corps of General Rczen and Pahlen This
has been done, and the operations will be re
commenced.
‘ On the 14th, the first division of grenadiers
attacked the enemy on the left bank of the L:
wice, and drove him to the other side with a
loss ol three hundred prisoners, and many kil
led and wounded Tomorrow we shall be able
to give more detailed accounts of the whole
course of the Russian operations."
On the other hand, we have the following,
also given in the Prussian Gazette, from War
saw, April IT: — - -
‘On the 14th, a letter was read here, from
the General in Chief to the Governor of War
saw, in which he say9, that in case he should
have to go to a greater distance in pursuit of
the enemy, he -hall depend on tire firmness
Miid bravery of the citizens of Warsaw ; and
was assured, that under the conduct of Gen.
Kruckowiecki, they would defend the city to
the utmost against any hostile attack."
After this letter was read, some of the prin
cipal persons addressed the citizens, who de
clared they were ready to exert themselves to
the utmost. The head quarters of the Com
mnuder in Chief, which on the 7th were at Sn
enne, were on the 14th at Jendezejow.
The Polish Gazette reports thai the Russian
guards upon the Bug are now effecting their
junction with the army of Field Marshal Die-
bitsch.
The following is the latest official article
from the Russian Head Quarters. We trans
late it from tbe G^ze’te dt- France of May 1:
RUSSIAN HEAD QUARTERS April 6
The last account shows, that every prep tra-
tionior crossing the Vistula had bee:i made,
when the approach of a considerable mass of
troops from Warsaw, determined Marshal Die-
bitsch to strike a decisive blow. He accord
ingly directed the 4th with the 1st division of
infantry, and the 3d cavalry, with the Lithuni-
hd guards, and a large part of the grenadier
corps upon Zelechow and pushed his advanc
ed guard of to Latowize, where the Zwilten-
back and the marshes make the defiles very
difficult. The main body would have follow
ed this movement, if the extreme difficulty of
procuring supplies had not forcedt he Marshal to
concentrate it nearer his convoys; it was there
fore, concentrated on the 10th at Lukrow, with
an advance guard reaching to Stockzec, to
onuect it with the division at Denibe.
r The enemy moveu aioug paidileiwitb th«
c auseway by forced marches upon Siedlic, and
Sicners attempted to check their movements.
When the Poles approached the south side of
Muchawice, they attacked Geo Rosen in close
columns. The fight lasted till seven o’clock.
Many charges of cavalry and by the bayonet,
which were supported by our artillery, check
ed the enemy, and their failure forced them to
retire. Nevertheless, Diebitsch foreseeing that
the enemy would attempt the day following to
pass the Mucbawise, directed his main body
upon Siedlec.
The Poles did not accept the combat, and
retired upon Kalnwin and Serowin——oor ad.
Vance guard followed them to Mingosbury.—
General Thieman is watching the country be
tween the Wiepurz, the Vistula and the cause
way of Warsaw. Gen Gersteinweig occupies
Kock, and G: n. Ougroumoff will establish him
self at Wegnon
General Uminsky had retired from Pnltusk,
and General Sachem was- ordered to watch
him.
Gen. Sterawski has passed on the 8th to the
left side of the Vistula, with 6000 men. GeD.
Rudiger having framed that Dwernicki had
passed the Bug between the Laconic and Ur
cilug, had concentrated forces to attack him.
on the right of Liewick, in front of Liew, aud
had established a tete de pont. The RmsteOS
overthrew the enemy, and even made then**
selves masters of the work. They had alrea
dy taken many cannon,'when a mass ot Po sh
cavalry forced them to abandon their booty,
and to fall back upon the infantry, which sus
tained and rcpulsod all attacks. VVe have :a-
ken from 300 to 400 prisoners—the killed must
have been numerous on the side of tbe en*my;
we have only a tew hundred men hers du com
bat. General Ougromoff remains in the
position winch he h«d couquered, and de-
slroyed the uitrenchment formed by the ene
my—Gazette d’Etat de Prusse.
Although in the preceding bulletin tbe Rus
sians claim victories, yet it will be pcrc> iveci
that they were acting on the defensive, and
according to their own bUy*.,x. s , »k<*y
victorious only in repelling assaults from the
Poh‘S.
The French papers contain a proclamation
from the Emperor of Russia, declaring the. go
vernment of Courland (in which is Wilna)
in a state of war, and the people under milita
ry law, thus authenticating the Polish accounts
of an insurrection there.
The Courier Francais of Apni 30, cornnu nt-
ingon a rumor that an engagement had taken
place between tbe Russians & the Poie», whLJj
terminated to the advantage of the I *-r,
says that “it could not have been in ih ii of
g eat cons quence The de spatch© which speak
of u, only to go to confirm the near appro •< ft
of a general battle, it might perhaps be n mat
ter of regret that Poland should he subjects d io
the risk of a single battle; but the Comm inder
Chief has heretofore shown so much prudence
and skill, that he may be retied up m a» most
competent to appreciate the best means of
sustaining bis cause.”
The same paper says there is another piece
of news more distressing than that of a battle,
to wit: that the cholera morbus* had invaded
some of the divisions of the Pultsh Army. It
bad prevailed in the Russian corps of Count
Pahlen, and been communicated to tfie Poles
by prisoners taken in the neighborhood oi Set-
dlic, and the concentration ol Diebiisch’s ior.
ces in those environs, wdl propogate it through
his whole army 1*. will probably be tbe samo
with that of the Poles.
It is confidently said that Marshal Oueieeb]
noau had received orders to enter Poland with
his army, and that the movement had only
been prevented by the insurrection at Lsthtmia.
Letters from Warsaw; according to some Jour
nal not named, “announced that among the
prisoners taken at fgmany, was the Prince:
Paul, son of tbe Grand Duke ConstaDiio te ; and
lt«rt ttrc. OwuiiiJiiuilCr ffl Ul 11LV 1J n IJ er.ujaStisu:
a court equippnge to conduct a prisoner, whom,
he says in his despatches, they will h- much
surprised to see enter Warsaw. They nose
lost in conjecture, in the capital, as to tn namo
of tbis,personage.”

versed with some Russian officers, who con
fessed that Gen Diebitsch ban been worsted,
and that the Poles had been found a different
sort of enemy to toe Turks. This account
cannot, of course, be strictly relied upon, but
the fact of a battle havmg taken place on the
