‘ytrffanousr. ‘ ‘ . ! ’ ‘ EX /RA J IS From an essay on the Divine Authority OF niE NEW rRSrAMKVTf By DAVID BOGUE. The New Testament is in direct Op position to every depraved Principle in Human nature «, La tip* it hat been asserted) must be suWed to the dispositions and manners of the people for whom they- e made. Divine rectitude scorns the idea. Let laws, it says, be perfectly good, however bad the persons for whom they are designed. The former is, indeed, the dictate of human policy and men, guided by no higher- principles, have acted ac cording to it, both in ancient and modern times. r lVis was the wis dom of the ancient legislators a mong the heathens sand many have in'modern times laughed loud at the foliv of attempting to give a perfect code of laws, to an imperfect and de praved nation. The religion which the legislators of old blended in their system, was of a piece with their laws ; and was designed to be sweet to the taste of their vicious country men. It required few sacrifices, and those not painful : it indulged eager appetites, and heated passions.— Mahomet acted on the same princi ples. How gratifying are many of his maxims to flesh and blood 1 To be allowed to retain and to cherish evil dispositions in the heart, and yet be on the road to paradise, is beyond measure delicious td every lover of iniquity. We are not to wonder, if such systems were re-’ ceived without a struggle, by those to whom they were proposed. Is this-the cause, that the Koran is »■ more respectfully spoken of by many i modern deists than* the New Testa- ] ment ? They will at least own, that none of their party have ever ap peared the advocates for an austere : morality. But here is a religion which de clares open. war. and irreconcilable enmity with every evil disposition in the human heart. It tolerates none: it denounces an anathema agatnst all Os the most odious sins, diso btcjience to parents, dishonesty, in justice. murder, and adultery, it speaks with abhorrence: it says they ought not even to be named, a- TOong Christians. But this is not all: it®descends into the heart ; it puts forth its hand and plucks out very root of bitterness which, spring ing up would pollute the soul, and define the life. Many principles which'the world approves as ambi tion, an eager pursuit of wealth, fono ness for pleasure, pride, envy, revenge, contempt of others emula tion, the gospel condemns. These the world considers on many occasi ons to he harmless, in some com mendable : Christianity condemns them all, in every form and degree. It forbids thfe indulgence of them e ven in thought; and commands the desire .o be strangled in its birtti.— Neither the hands, the tongue, the head, nor the heart, iqust be guilty of ont iniquity. However much the world may applaud the heroic ambi tion of one, the love of glory in ano ther, the successful pursuits of afflu ence in a third, the high-minded pride/ the glowing patriotism which would compel all the neighboring na tions to bow the neck, the steady pursuit of revenge for injuries re ceived, and a sovereign contempt of the rude and ignoble vulgar ; Chris tianity condemns them all, and en joins the disciples of Jesus to cruci fy them without reluctance, and without delay. Not one is to be spared though dear as a right-eye, fur use or pleasure : or even neces sary as a right hand for defence or labor. Whilfe the gospel insists t’ e destruction of evil principles, the exercise of the opposite -dispositions, humility contentment, meekness, charity forgiveness, perfection, &c. is sti ctly enjoined. Asa specimen, read the words of the book itself.— Matt, v 43 44, 45, 4*. Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor/ and hate 4Lhine enemy : but I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curst toil do good to them that * hate you, and pray for them which dtspitefully use you, and persecute you, that may be children of your father in heaven : for he iiiak eth his sun to rise on the evil and on th* good, and seodeth rain on the tanl on the unjust. Be ye theie fore perfect, even as your father, which is in heave&is perfect.” Rom. xii. SO, 21. ** Dearly venge not yourselves, v but if thine enemy hunger feed him; if he thirst, give him drink * for in so .do tyg thou shalt heap coals of fire up. > his head. Be not overcome of i ; but overcome evil wiifc good.* ter. iii. 9. Not rendering evil il, oi railing for railing ; but* fiwise blessing f knowing that yt ar* thereunto called, thatve s inherit a blessing. ’’ What ol system of opposition* to e vil, and of the purest goodness is here ! To torhat sou.ce shall we trace it ? From beneath, such divine sentiments cannot come. Nor do they grow on earth : They spring , not from the human heart i for no such seeds have been sown there.— •Will it be thought unreasonable if l should say, * They must have come down from heaven V* / POLITICAL. FROM THE NAtT()NAL INTELLI GENCER. TO THE EDITORS. Gentlemen, When I first heard the news of the surpri sing events which have recently occurred in Europe, my thoughts rushed at once through all the varying scenes of the French revolution, down to the early stages of it. I paused* blessed myself* and thanked God that I was an American citizen What (thought I) is the chief cause of these terrible revolutions, so fatal to our race, and which desolate'he earth ? But one an swer presented itself to my*nind- They are occasioned by the political vices of an Here ditary King, Hereditary nobles, and a Church recognised and established by law. Man* (said I) in the proudness pf his heart, attempts to institute that which is contrary to the ordi* nances of nature: He wills that’ the stupid and the idle, the profligate and the abandoned, shall reign and tyrannize over talents, virtue* and the enterprise of industry. In 1789, France afforded an agonizing spectacle to the friend of freedom. A benev olent, but impotent king; corrupted nobles ; a lazy priesthood ; the nation iitetriCyably in debt; and her peasantry smitten to the earth bv the hand of oppression. How was France to be relieved from this deplorable con dition ! Her king was for life ; her Clergy were entrenched in the abuses of ages; het feeble nobility were at the head of her armies ; and there Were no elections by which the peo ple might purity the state. A frightful revo lution was the only alternative The mass burst the slender filaments that bound them to obedience, and plunging into crimes, pur sued, througn blood and misery* a path which they thought would lead them to liberty and happiness. Here let us ponder : here let us mark our own felicitous lot. Our glorious form of go-, vernment, analogous to the principles of na ture, furnishes, throughout all its branches, : ample means of regenerarioh. Does ambition ■ overleap the bounds of propriety > The voice | of the citizens instantly checks it. Does the Representative betray his trust ! He is over taken by the elective franchise, and punished with contempt. Does a judge presume to vi olate rhe rights of an individual ? He is brought to the bar of an appropriate tribunal, and de graded for the offence Do talents offer for publicj approbation ? They are voted into no tice, and applauded with enthusiasm. Such ■: Is our blessed situation ; such are the effects of our liberal form of government. We have, no hereditary king to dethrone ; no base no ’ bh*s to exile; no demoralized clergy to chastise j for their deeds of wickedness Bu% observe, farther the progress of the French nation. The people of that ill-fated country thought; at various times, they had secured their liberties. They dreamed of their consummation in the constituent assem "bly t in the.national assembly} in the legislative councils—«in a first c,onsul These visions passed away in (puck succession; and carried vin their train innumerable victims* To these succeeded a splendid despotism ; full of beau ties for the lovers df glory ; full of defects for the friends of freedom and the human race.—. This awful despotism we have just seen van ish, like a phantom, prostrating its author as it fled; humiliating him in the very mire of degradation, and leaving him at the mercy of inveterate enemies. Yet, ere he fell, the blood of Frenchmen had run in torrents, and the loveliest villages and towns of France had been ravaged and ruined by the avenging foe. ‘Here let us ponder again. Here let us ask, why .were the fields of Europe made so red l Why were the sons and daughters of Europe slaughteVed and polluted ? The same answer still. A Bourbon family claimed the crown : A Bonaparte occupied it. It was family against family : dynasty against dynasty. Sanguina ry was the strife. Fearful was the din of bat tle. A Bonaparte descends from the throne, and a Bourbon mounts it. Cui bono ? For whose benefit! Is this triumph of the Capets a final resting point fbr the French people ? Or is it merely a point of transient repose ? Be that as it may, we have reason to rejoice in our happy constitution. No family— no dynasty, thank Heaven! can plunge the U. States into such horrors. Enlightened by the terrible experience of the Europeans, of Eng land and Germany no less than of France, our people will cling more firmly to their act of union, to their free institutions, to their civil rights ; and abhor wretch who dares to weaken the holy work of our fathers. REPUBLICANS. _—- BUFFALO VILL ACE Which once adorned the shores of Erie and was prostrated by the enemy, is now rising a gain—several buildings are already raised and made habitable—contracts for 20 or 30 more ■ are made, and many of them in considerable* forwardness. A Brick Company has been for med, by an association of the most enterprising ar.d jbblic spirited citizens, with a sufficient capital, for the purpose of rendering the price of Brick so reasonabUtthat the principal streets may be built up ot that article. All that is re quired to re-establish Buffalo in its former pros perity, are ample remuneration from govern ment, and peace—peace, if not obtained by ne gotiation, must be obtained by a vigorous and successful prosecution of the war i- Buffalo had its charms—the situation, the prospect, and tlie good health of toe inhabi tants, to which we may add, the activity and enrerprize of the trade, the public spirit of the citizens, and the state of society, all conspired to render it a chosen spot, fbv the man of, ; business or of pleasure.

Chateau brand says the Spaniard, begins by building a church, the Englishman begins by building a tavern, and the Frenchman by building a ball-room. While I was in America, conti nues this entertaining traveller, I heard that I should find a compatriot among the Indians. When I arrived ] among the Cayugas, a tribe of the Cherokee nation, my guide led me into a forest. In the middle of this forest was a sort of barns within which “1 beheld a score of savages, men Ct women, bedaubed like sorcerers, their bodies half naked, their ears clipped, with crow quills stuck in their hair and rings in their noses. A little Frenchman, frizzed and pow- ; dered as of yore, in a pea green coat, Embroidered waistcoat, and rutiled shirt, was scraping a pocket violin, and making the savages dance delon Fnquet. Monsieur Violet, as he was called, was dancing master to the savages, and was paid for his lessons in beaver-skins and bear-ba con-hams. He had been scullion to general Rochambeau during the A merican war. After the departure of our army, he remained at New York, resolved to teach the fine arts to the Americans* His views expan ding with success, this second Or pheus carried civilization into the bosom of the wandering hordes of the new world. In speaking to me ! of these Indians he always said : Ces messieurs sauvages~~ces dames sauva • ges. He extolled the nimbleness of his scholars very highly, and in fact I never saw such bounding. Mon sieur Violet, holding his little violin between his chin and his breast, be gan to strum the magical instrument and calling ont in Cherokee, To jour places t the whoWtroop §as marshal led in on instant, and Jbegan whirl ing and jumping aloft like a band of demons. .
