1 flic opposition that has been Made to contri- 1 , !• itions for the support of Ministers of the Gospel bus been justified on tie ground that Chris* and j his apostle* made no wch claim for themselves. ; The different circumstances under which they i ippeared, and the widely different state of socie- , Ity end of the world at'that time, furnish conolu- • sive reasons for their conduct in this respect, without invalidating the principle for which we contend. Their object was to promulgate and to found anew religion; to subvert long established opinions and prejudices. In effecting this they bad to contend with the perverse obstinaejf and unrelenting persecution of the Jews, and with a world involved in the darkness and ignorance of heathen idolatry. They were accounted as im posters, as aiming to “ turn the world upside ‘ down,” and to render undeserving of regard what had before been deemed sacred. The civil au thority exerted its power against them, and in stead‘of countenance and support they received stripes, imprisonment and death. Under such circumstances how useless would it have been to have claimed any thing from the people either on the score of justice or generosity. It was a part of the plan of salvation that the Saviour should appear in the depths of humiliation. Had it been necessary, he could have appeared in the trium phant style of a conqueror, and have subjected . the guilty world he visited, with all its power, to ‘ his control. He was not dependant, and when ever occasion required, wrought miracles for his support and that of his apostles and disciples. No inference can therefore be justly drawn from the example of the Saviour and his apostles, op posed to the support of the preachers of the Gos pel, more especially when the directions of Scrip ture upon this subject are repeated and explicit. Many passages to this effect might be quoted, but it is needless to refer to any more than the con cluding remark of St. Paul when giving instruc tion upon this point, “Even so hath the I.ord or dained, that they which preach the Gospel should live of the Gospel.” The secular concerns in which the ministers of the Gospel are often compelled to engage for the support of themselves and their families, are by r.o means favourable to the extension of the Re deemer’s kingdom. The days of miracles are passed. It is perfectly vain to suppose, that a person of common talents, occupied intensely through the week either at his farm or his mer chandise, can generally be ['repared on the Sab bath “ rightly to divide the word of truth”—“to provide beaten oil for the sanctuary, and give each his portion in due season.” We might as well expect that our Missionaries would be qual ified without auy previous study to preach to an Indian or an African, a Hottentot or a Kamska dale. Much good, we will readily grant, has been done by clergymen thus necessarily employ ed. Tlmir lives, their conduct, and conversation, have frequently spread a salutary influence around them—and their preaching too, has often been owned and blessed by the Great Head of the Church. But as God works by means iu the sal vation of souls, and as these means consist principally in faithfully declaring his word, we may with propriety ask, how much more good might be done if the Ministry could devote them selves continually to the work ? Many other du ties devolve on them besides appearing for one hour in the pulpit on the Sabbath, and then retir ing to the world. To visit the siek—to comfort the afflicted—to become acquainted with the spiritual wants of his people—to instruct the ig norant—to warn, reprove and rebuke as occasion may require, form no inconsiderable part of the arduous labour incumbent on a Minister. It is a common, though true saying, that “ example speaks louder than words.” If, then, a Minister of the Gospel appear as anxious as the people of j the world, “ what he shall eat, or what he shall j drink, or wherewithal he shall be clothed”—if he aspire to posts of honour or profit—or if he make his worldly avocations an excuse for not attending to his official duties, it will he asked, “ what does he more than others, wherein does he differ from us.” No one can mingle in the con cerns of the world, without being involved in care, perplexity and trouble. He who should he thus engaged, through the week, would be ill prepared on the Sabbath for the important duties of a Minister of the Gospel, one principal duty of whom it would be, to raise not only’ his own mind, hut the minds of his hearers above the grovelling and debasing cares of this world, and to wean their affections from earth and earthly things. That the peace, happiness and good order of society are eminently promoted by the dissemi nation ot moral and religious instruction will be admitted by all who possess any respect for either. If virtue in the people is indispensable to the existence of a republican government, every necessary effort should be made for its inculcation and preservation. Throw off the restraints of re ligion, and laws would become powerless and in efficacious. in order to extend the influence of moral and religions principles there musl be a class of men whose professional duty it should be to en force and defend them. Patriotism ought then to prompt all who are not governed ty higher motives, to contribute to maintain the Preacher ol the Gospel. It would be idle to expect that men of talents and education would devote them selves to this employment with no prospect before them than that of mere subsistence. When such a wide field of enterprise and exertion is before the youth of our country, and in which there is 1 almost a moral ceitainty of success, it cannot be expected that they would choose a profession | which would entail poverty upon them for life, and subject them to a dependance upon the cha rity of the world. The want of an adequate sup-’ port is one of the causes why our country is not better supplied with Preachers of the Gospel, and to this it is owing that so few young men of edu cation enter into the clerical profession. While the professions of Law and of Medicine are full to overflowing, the number of those is small who become Ministers from zeal for the glory of God and the salvation of souls. The indifference that is felt upon this subject tends to keep religion in its present low and de-l pressed situation. Many, we are sensible, ore withheld by scruples of conscience from doing any thing for the support df I’reachers of the Gos pel, many from the predominating influence of avarice, ami many from an inveterate enmity to the cause of religion. But we look forward with fond anticipation to anew and better state of things. Means are now in operation, which will accelerate this period. It is the purpose of God to save sinners through the instrumentality of preaching ; “ the gold, and the silver, and all the possessions of the world are his,” the hearts of all men are in his hands, and he can tprn them as the rivers of water are turned. The boast of infi delity, to the possession of superiour talents, and | more science, will he destroyed ; the opposers of Christianity will be silenced and abashed, and the Minister of the Gospel will receive that attention and respect that is due to his character and sa cred office.

Foreign and Domestick Intelligence. Boston, Dec. 26. Landing of the Fathers. —On the 22d instant, was celebrated at Plymouth the Two Hundredth anniversary of the landing of our Fathers. In the great want of publick social festivals, which exists in our country, and the extreme insignificance of the occasions of many that are observed, it was extremely gratifying to behold the great concourse from all the neighbouring, and several of the re moter towns,which assembled at Plymouth on this truly memorable anniversary. Every effort was made by ‘he citizens of Plymouth to accommo date the great assemblage of strangers, and to add by their hospitality, to the enjoyments -of the huppy celebration. The weather, though cold, was highly favourable, not only on the day of celebration, but on the days preceding and fol lowing it ; so that not only ilid the festivities and solemnities experience no interruption, but the visiters were enabled to come and return without any inconvenience. ‘Fhe morning of the 22d was ushered in with military salutes. About 11, the procession under ‘he escort of the Standish Guards, moved to the Church, where, after devotional exercises by the Rev. President Kirkland, and appropriate hymn, an Oration was pronounced by Mr. Webster, which, for gravity of sentiment, richness and va riety of illustration, originality of thought, tender ness of feeling, chasteness of style and power of delivery, was, in every respect, equal to that gentleman’s reputation, and filled the crowded audience with alternate emotions of sympathy, delight and admiration. After a most eloquent and affecting expression of the general feelings which the occasion excites, Mr. W. passed to a consideration of the causes, which led to the eini eration of the pilgrims, and illustrated with great learning and discrimination, the difference be tween the colonial establishments of England in North America, and all other colonies, whether the ancient Grecian and Roman, or the modern European establishments in the West Indies or in Asia. He passed in rapid review the principal events of the century which has elapsed, and hav ing referred to Mr. Burke’s beautiful apostrophe to Lord Bathurst, alluded himself to the venera ble statesman in our neighbourhood, in a strain of eulogy as noble as it was just, and which we can not but pronounce as beautiful, as pathetick, and more exalted for the character and actions it cel ebrated, even than that of Mr. Burke on Lord Ba thurst. “ O fortunate Setter, qni turn virtutis Horuerum prseconem invtneris —’’[happy old man, who has found Homer the eulogist of your virtue.*] Mr. Webster’s remarks on the nature and qualities of a free government, and on the institutions by which they have been preserved and cherished in New England, were in the grav est strain of political wisdom. The passage in which he alluded to the Slat'e Trade, as still car ried on from some places in N. England, the sol emn adjuration in which he called on the Minis ters of the Gospel to bear witness against thistraf [ tick and on the tribunals of law to drag to justice j the miscreants who pursue it, was in a style of | ti rrifick eloquence ; and if a spark of the.primi tive N. England character remains, this appeal will have the effect of rousing the community against this shameless insult on their character and their laws. We have long enough made ourselves the scorn of all high-minded men at the south, by the empty zeal with which we declaim against the existence of slavery amongst them, while we sit still and see vessel after vessel fitted out from our own ports for the coast of Africa; and while, to use the words of Mr. Webster, we hear the din of the hammers and see the smoke of the furna ces that are forging the manacles and fetters, which are to be employed in this infernal piracy. We will not attempt even to allude to all the more striking parts of Mr. Webster’s address ; it would he but another mode of analyzing its whole contents, for there was nothing in it that was not either grave, or ingenious, or pathetick, or sub lime, or learned, as the varying tenor of the dis course required ; and we will only add the hope, that he will lose no time in giving it to the pub lick, to which it belongs. At the pnhlick dinner, a pertinent address was made bv Judge Davis, to the President and mem bers of the Pilgrim Society, on behalf of the Mas sachusetts Historical Society ; to which the Rev. Mr. Kendall, on the part of the Pilgrim Society, mode an appropriate reply. A similar address on behalf of the American Antiquarian Society, was made by the Hon. Levi Lincoln, of Worces ter, to which an answer was returned by Alden Bradford, Esq. Among the many pertinent toasts which were drank, the following, sent by Judge Thomas, the President of the Pilgrim So ciety, who was prevented by sickness from joining in the celebration of the day, was received with great applause by the company : “ The creed of our Forefathers, Law, Liberty and Religion ; may their posterity, in their zeal for the two first, not expunge the “ third arlicle."\ The festivities of the day were succeeded by a ball in the evening ; and the feelings excited in the minds of all by the combined solemnities and rejoicings of the occasion, were those of enthusi asm for the characters of our Fathers, veneration for their exalted virtues, tender recollection of their trials and hardships, and heart-felt gratitude to Divine Providence for his goodness to them and their children. * In the debates in the Convention, at the close of the Speech of the venerable President Adams, . in which he combatted, with equal weight of ar gument and character, the project of some of the j younger members of the Convention relative to 1 the organization of the Senate, a gentleman whis pered to his neighbour in the words of Cicero de Senectute : “ Maximus respublicas ab adolescen ti'sus labefactas, a senibus susteittatus et restitu tas reperietis.’’--[You will find that the greatest Republicks have been rendered insecure by youth, and sustained and restored by the aged.] t It ought to be observed, that about the same hour that this toast was drank at Plymouth, the vole was taken iu the Convention at Boston, after <#ff able and eloquent debate of two or three days, on a motion to abolish the 3d article from the Constitution (providing for the mpport of publick worship by law) and decided in the negative by a majority of 60. OHIO vs. UNITED STATES’ BANK. It will be in the recollection of our readers,(hat last year the state of Ohio imposed and forcibly collected a tax of 100,000 upon the branches of the U. S. Bank in that state. The bank sought the protection of the government, and the Circuit Court issued a processor attachment against the auditor of the state and his agent, for having in violation of an injunction issued from that court to restrain them, proceeded to the collection of! the mongy. The money is still in state treasuary, i and a committee of their legislature, now in ses- j sioti, have made a long report recommending the i return of the money to the United States bank provided it will pay all the costs and expenses, J and leave the state ! ! They also recommend that | the United States’ Bank should he deprived of the benefit f the courts and jails of the state, and I should be disabled from recording in any court or office of registiy, any deeds, mortgages, or trusts j executed by individuals to it ; thus virtually, though not expressly outlawing the bank. The Circuit Court of the Doited States is sitting at Ibis moment in Columbus,’ and the rule being made absolute for the attachment against Osborne and Harper, (the auditor and his agent) if the legisla ture hold out in their project, Judge Podd can not'recede and must imprison the state officers, and thus the State and the United States will be completely at i=sue.— N. V. Am. From the Kentucky Argus. Fatal Accident. —ln the latter part of Novem ber last, a traveller put up fer the night at the tavern of William Hodges, in Franklin, Simpson county, on the road from Nashville to Lexington. About the usual bed time he started up stairs, with the bar-keeper, for the purpose of going to bed. When they arrived at the stairs the bar keeper stepped back for the purpose of leaving a flute he held in his hand, and shutting the bar door; but the stranger went forward up the stairs. The stairs led into a small entry’ or pas sage, from which one door led into his bed room, and an open door way, on the opposite side, which had never been closed, the house being un finished, led through the outer wall into the open air. From what cause it is impossible to imagine ; but the stranger took the latter door way, fell to the ground, and in about an hour and a half died. No wounds or bruises were discovered on him ; but a considerable quantity of blood ran out at his mouth, and it was the opinion of Dr. Johnson, who was called immediately, that he broke some blood vessel and bled to death inwardly. In his saddlebags was found a considerable quantity of clothing, principally domestick, and in his pocket hook about sll3, but no papers. Some of his clothes were wrapped in a newspa per printed at Pendleton, in South Carolina, with the name of Moses Terrill written on it as a sub scriber. A letter was found in his vest pocket directed to Green Brazleton, which was probably his name. He was apparently about thirty years of age. These particulars were furnished ns by a gen tleman who was present, assisted in carrying the stranger into the house, and attended on him un til he died. He also assures us that every possi ble attention was paid to him, and that he was decently interred at a meeting house near Frank lin. His money, horse and clothes, are in the pos session of Mr. Hodges, and will be delivered to any person having a right to them. TO TVHOM IT MAY CONCERN. From the National Intelligeneer. The Postmaster General issued, some two or three years ago, to all Deputy Postmasters, a standing order, to give notice to the printer there of of any newspaper which should remain in their offices, respectively, uncalled for. or not taken up, by the person to whom it should be address ed, and to state whether the person refused to receive the paper, or was dead, had reinovejd, j and if so, where to. This order, we believe, has ! been generally observed by the gentle.men to ! whom it was given, but, having reason to believe | that it was in some instances neglected, we prom j ised, in the course of last summer, if any case of : such neglect should come to our knowledge, to ! lay it before the Postmaster General,in order that ! the delinquent might be dealt with accordingly. | Such an instance of neghvet having occurred at a i distant post office not lung since, and the fact be ing established to'the satisfaction of the Postmas- I ter General, we have the pleasure to state, j that he immediately dismissed the offender from ’ office. We deem it proper to mention the fact, , for the information of publishers as well as post masters, and as an assurance that information of similar misconduct, from any quarter, will be promptly attended to by the Postmaster General, j VVe take this opportunity to offer our thanks to ! those gentlemen of the Post Office establishment, I in various parts of the country, who have, in nu j merous instances, given us the information refer red to above, and for other good offices, in pre venting the miscairiage of our paper, Sic. SPJW*. Tlie sanction of the king to the law pronounc ing the abolition of monastick orders was register ed in an extraordinary sitting of the cortes on the 23d ult. and couriers extraordinary had been sent into al! the provinces, with orders to the magis trates to take possession of the suppressed con vents. It was not without considerable reluc tance that the king gave his assent to the bill for the suppression of the Monastick Orders. He de clared, on its first presentation, that it was con trary to his conscience, and positively refused his sanction. The ministers however repaired to his majesty in a body', and tendered (heir resignations, in the event of his deeming it proper to persist in his intention. This spirited intimation immedi ately removed the king’s scruples, and the bill passed in the usual form. The delay which took place in the king’s assent to this measure is ascri bed to remonstrances from the court of Rome. A report recommending the unqualified exclusion of foreign manufactures and products, having met with great opposition, was referred back to the united committee of finance and commerce. A committee had reported in favour of conferring estates, yielding a rental of 80,000 reals, on gene rals Riego and Quiroga ; and estates of 40.000 reals a year, on several other officers, who had I been instrumental in liberating the country from the yoke of despotism. With regard to Riego and Quiroga, it is farther proposed that the king should be requested to honour them with Castilian titles of nobility. The bill relative to the publick education has undergone a partial discussion, and several of its clauses been approved. A bill has been introduced for punishing with death, as trai tors, all persons conspiring directly, and de facto , to subvert the existing constitution. The English Discovery ships. —Few partial lars of their highly interesting voyage have yet transpired, the officers ami crew of the Hecla confining themselves to casual observations, un til their commander shall have |aid his journal before the lords of the admiralty. We under stand, however, that Lieut. Parry entered by Lancaster Sound, proceeded over Capt. Ross's special chart of land, and reached, in the paral lel of 74 or 75, 114 or 115 vyest, about 550 miles farther than Capt floss assarted the nlar sea, to be navigable. In SO, the ships fell in with islands, which continued successively till they reached the extreme westerly point of one in 115, where winter overtook them. They wintered in a snug hay in Lancaster Sound, and did not get clear of the ice till the 15th of August this year. From October till February, or for about one hundred days, they were in darkness; but with abundance of wholesome provisions, and other requisite com forts, they passed the time very agreeably. The crew were amused with games of every kind, and occasionally they acted play* for mutual enter tainment. On the breaking up of the ice this season, attempts were made to proceed westerly, but immense barriers of ice from the polar sea to tqe northward shut up all hope of succeeding in the parallel of 74; and before they could return to the eastward and renew the attempt in a lower latitude, the navigable season, which is confined to August and a few days in September, offered no reasonable chance of succeeding thi year; in dependent of which, provisions would not have held out in so precarious and dangerous a navi gation for the winter, and the time they would certainly have been frozen up. The existence of a polar sea, to the westward of Hearn’s river, is incontestibly established; and experience has taught these hardy navigators, that, in the month of August such a powerful radiation from the land takes place, as to render a channel sufficient to demonstrate the certainty of the existence of a northern passage, and that a practicable one, but not open to any possible commercial purposes. In 90, the compass was useless on board—the at traction of the needle was extreme. The crews of the vessel have conducted themselves as be came men in such a momentous situation. They have been particularly healthy, and returned to England with the loss of only one man, and that from a casualty ; which is a high tribute to the discipline and care of the officers commanding, with the thermometer of Falir. 55 deg. below ze ro, where the breath of every one, in his sleeping place, formed a sheet of ice over his head in the morning. The ships have been out for about eighteen months, having sailed from Sheerness on the 18th of May, 1819. Sunday last the com mander, officers, seamen and marines of his rna jesty’s ships employed on discovery in the Arctick regions, returned publick thanks to Almighty God,in the church of St. Mary-le-Strand, London, for the many mercies received during their peril ous undertaking, and for their safe return to their native land. [ London pap. Cotton. —Our cotton market may be consider ed unusually dull, and prices giving way since our last, particularly for inferiour cottons. The dul ness of the market may be attributed in part to the wet,disagreeable weather, but more to the late accounts from Europe, which are up to the 23d November. Inferiour and mixed lots from 12 to 13 1-2—prime, 14 a 14 1-2 —the latter price paid for square bales only.— Aug. Chr. 251 ft ult. From the late Census, the entire population of Richmond county is estimated at 8,733.

An American lady in London, in a letter to a friend in this city, dated October 1820, thus de scribes a Dandy Lord : “ 1 was in Hyde-Park on Sunday. It was crowded with fashion. I.ord Petershaw is the blood of the day. He is the most complete show 1 ever saw. He wears large mustachios, a beard or tuft upon his chin, very high collar to his shirt, a black cravat tied in a large bow where the ruf fles should be, a white dress resembling a carter’s frock, and over that a black jemmy coat, almost off his shoulders, with his coat sleeves turned half way up his arms, his wristband covering his hands. He wears a very small hat, with a very low crown, and a small rim, just to cover the top of his head, and a boquel before him completes this object. —He has a little footman, in white livery, by his side. He bawls out “ how are .you,” so loud you can hear him almost over the Park. His face is as yellow as a pumpkin. He attracts general attention, and whenever he stops, he is surrounded.” Five millions of the inhabitants of the United States are said to be devoted to agriculture.

I lately saw the gentleman riding out, having Marshall Bertrand, on a white horse, in front. He and lady Bertrand were together. Count Montholon and a retinue in the re..:. He is uncommonly gross, and odiously puffed out in I the face. He goes out much oftener now than ever, but occupies mm hos his time in writing.

Fire ; —On Wednesday morning last, about five o’clock,our citizens weir aroused by the alar ming cry of fire, which was soon discovered to he the house occupied by Mrs. Early ; fortunately it was a cairn morning, and the iveather had been for several days previous rainy ; had it not been for these circumstances, several of the citizens must have suffered severely from that devouring element, as there are no necessary implements in the place to check its dreadful ravages. It is evident that the act was perpetrated by some incendiary. Mrs. Early had been absent for several days previous. Her loss is estimated at between three and four thousand dollars. We had supposed that the Missouri subject would have been again taken up yesterday, and finally disposed of in some shape or other. But, that the debate on the subject of the army might not he unseasonably interrupted, Mr. Eustace contented himself with calling up his motion, m3 having it referred to a committee of the whole on the state of the Union, which disposition of it places it in his power to move at any time the consideration of it.—The same course was then taken with the resolution from the senate, on the same subject, which contains an exception, the nature of which all attentive readers will recollect of any part of the constitution, if there be any part of the constitution of Missouri, which-is con trary to the constitution of the United States. VVe have for some time thought, that the pre sent session of Congress will be productive of few measures of a leading character. There may be some reduction of the army ; some modification of the expenditure for the increase of the navy; the usual appropriation acts, and an act for a loan, of a greater or less amount, must puss ; -but there will be few other laws passed of a general nature. The passage of some of the bills depend ing, and those, in our view, the most desirable, is rendered hopeless by the agitation of this un fortunate question respecting Missouri. With re peet to others, the sentiment of congress is so nearly equally divided, that an indisposition to legislate at all, though that feeling should be limit ed to very few, may incline the scale against the measures proposed. That there is such an indi - position, arising from the apprehensions of over much legislation, has been, we think, apparent during the session; and the procrastination of a decision on the Missouri subject has had no ten dency to l sstn it.
