THE MISSIONARY.
MOUNT ZION, WEDNESDAY, JULY 25.
Some writer has remarked, that spiders might
make silk if they could agree to live together in so
ciety and maintain a community of interests.
Without vouching for the philosophical correct
ness of this opinion, we heartily subscribe to the
importance and pertinency of the moral contain
ed in this remark when applied to the human
race. ■ In every order of society, and in every de
partment of life, much of the good which might
otherwise have accrued to the world, has been
sacrificed upon the altar of personal or party feel
ings. In legislation, in science, and in religion,
jealousies and antipathies of one kind or another,
have prevailed to such an fextent as to impede the
progress of society in every valuable acquisition,
and to rob posterity of that rich legacy which
would have been the natural result of a concen
tration of their intellectual and moral energies,
philosophers have not unfrequeutly spent more
time in demolishing the systems of others, than
in scrutinizing the principles of their own; —and
victory over an opponent has too often been cher
ished as a more darling object than the triumph of
truth. But it is not in the severe and more ab
struse branches of knowledge alone, that men
have enlisted their talents in hostility to each oth
er. Even in the flowery walks of literature, en
vy has planted her thorns and briars; —and it may
be fairly questioned whether jealousy of a rival
and an overweening solicitude for personal pre
eminence, have not made a greater multitude of
shrewd criticks, than have ever been produced
by a logical intellect and a refined and delicate
taste.
In religion, too, whose vital principle is harmo
ny,and which is capable of producing, in the high-
J-t degree, a consolidation of human interests,
jalousies and contests have been cherished,
which have disrobed practical Christianity of half
her glory. The declaration of the Son of God,
that every Kingdom divided against itself cometh
to desolation , has been treated as a speculative
truth ; and his new commandment, that his dis
ciples should love one another, which was illustra
ted and enforced by his own perfect example,
has been divested of its binding force. The pol
icy of the earth has too obviously mingled, in the
visible church, with the principles of heaven.
The broad commands of the Gospel which were
evidently intended toinclude in commiseration
the whole family of man, and to embrace with
complacency the collective number ofthe redeem
ed, have been restricted in their operation, to a
s’ct or party;—and to hate an enemy or burn a
b-rctick have been deemed by some professed
followers of Christ not less acceptable to God,
than the oblations of prayer and praise. The
common enemy has been forgotten, while the
weapons of those who bear the C hristian name,
have been sharpened and brandished against each
other. Ambition and epvy have exerted their in
fluence even in acts of worship—and strange fire
has been kindled upon the altar of God. How
.many sinners have perished, and how many pa
gans have been left to groan under all the wretch
edness of idolatry, in consequence of the disputes
and party zeal of Christians, the day of judgment
-an alone disclose.
But the political world has furnished (he theatie
where party feelings have acted their most bust
ling parts and caused their greatest mischief. The
history ofthe world isa history of perpetual contest
f .M- .power. In free governments, especially, par
ties have been embodied and arranged under fa
vourite and popular leaders whose great business
has been to proclaim their own disinterested pa
triotism. and to depress the standing of their op
ponents by representing them as the determined
enemies of the commonwealth. But in this pub-
I-'-fe cry; there ;s often much which is superficial
srfl deceptive. While the publick weal is the
ostensible object, “ the loaves and fishes” furnish
the real incentives to exertion. We shall gener
ally said that those who are loudest in their own ;
praise and most clamorous in the denunciation of,
their opponents, are such as wish for personal ele-!
vat ion to office. To look oneway and row the i
oilier —to talk largely of the love of liberty and |
f country while the eye is fixed upon some posti
of honour or profit, is the great secret of election- j
ferine. The whole community is often thrown 1
into tumult and they know not why, that the :
ambitions and aspiring may have the pleasure of
r.ding into office upon the “ stormy waves of the
multitude.”
On the subject ofpolitical animosities the page
ot history presents us an instructive lecture.
hile we wander among the tombs of ancient
grandeur and read the epitaphs of nations which
Vave arisen, flourished and fallen, we meet with a
vhousand mementos to warn us against that spirit
of faction which accomplished their ruin.
In a government like ours, especially, an union
of feeling and interest, is necessary for the contin
uance of its existence and prosperity. It is a
government of choice, and must be indebted for
Hs perpetuity to the affections of the people. Let
its fundamental maxims once sink in their estima
tion, and its strongest pillars would soon fall, and
the whole superstructure become aheap of shape
less ruins. And what is more directly calculated
to indues this train of dreadful consequences,
than the spirit of parly which is already too man
ifest among us ? The State of Georgia is thrown
into a political uproar, and the citizens are ar
ranging themselves under opposite and hostile
banners, not so much for the purpose of increasing
the honour or resources of the repuhlick, as to de
cide a violent and pertinacious struggle for victo
ry and office. If the people were truly wise they
would put a final period to the progress of this
fatal evil. They would give that man leave to
enjoy the quietude of retirement who can devote
his time and prostitute his talents for whole
months together for the sole purpose of getting
himself into office. If violent demagogues and in
flammatory newspapers would cease to intermed
dle with our honest and candid citizens, these
infuriated political broils “"would oeasfc—our liber- |
ties would rest upon a far more solid and perma- I
nent basis—and the affections of confidence and :
brotherhood, wn|Rd once more visit and gladden
society. We should soon witness the blessed
effects which, in a national point of view, ever
result from a union of interest and intelligence,
strength and virtue.
(fcJ-When we made the late change in our day
of publication, we anticipated an earlier distribu- j
tion of our papers in the distant parts of the State,;
in consequence ofthe new mail route from Powel
ton, by this place, to Monticello, which was then
just going into operation. We find, however,
that no additional facility is given to their early
circulation by this arrangement; the papers arri
ving at the several distributing offices a day or
two after the cross mails leave them, so that they j
necessarily remain in many instances four or five i
days. From the best information we can obtain, !
we feel persuaded that a large majority of our
subscribers would receive the paper much earlier,
if, instead of Wednesday, they were lodged in
Sparta on Monday. Our news departmant will
not suffer in any respect from this alteration, as
the paper will be kept open for such intelligence
as may be received by the Augusta mail of Satur
day morning. It not being in our power to issue
the paper on Monday next, the Missionary will
not again be published till the 6th of August.
We hope this change will remove the cause of
some very serious complaints which have reached
us from several quarters,particularly from the Nor
thern section of this State, and from the upper dis
tricts of South Carolina. We take this opportu
nity to assure our subscribers in those places,that
the Missionary is regularly forwarded in secure
wrappers, and if they are not received, it is no
fault of ours, although we are the most material
sufferers, many papers having been discontinued
on this account. We acknowledge with gratitude
the very ready attentions which have been shewn I
us by many Postmasters to whose offices our pa- j
pars are sent, and we are sorry to complain of the i
conduct of any ; but we really can see no good
reason why our papers du not reach, with some
degree of regularity at least, the County of Frank
lin. There is certainly remissness somewhere,
and whether it be in the mail carriers or Post
masters, it ought to be immediately attended to
by those whose duty it is to correct such abuses.
Foreign andDomestick Intelligence.
By the ship Cortes, arrived at N. York, in 24
days from Liverpool, London papers have been
received to the 9th of June. The most impor.
tantarticles which they furnish, are the Declara
tion of the Allied Sovereigns on the dissolution of
the Congress at Layhach, and a Circular said to be
j forwarded by Count Nesselrode, the Russian min
! ister, to the different European Courts. The first
j of these State Papers we have given below, and
1 the source from which it emanates will doubtless
insure it an attentive perusal. The Russian Cir
, cular we are compelled to omit; it bears, how
; ever, a close affinity in sentiment and expression
ito the Declaration of the Congress, and is very
possibly the offspring of the same Jesuitical pen.
Among other professions made in this document,
t the Emperour declares his intention to maintain
| in good faith the existing treaty between Russia’
! and the Porte—in other words, to render no as-!
j. 7 I
| sistance to the revolted provinces of the Turk- 1
; ish empire. He declares his interference in the !
affairs of Naples and Piedmont, was for the sole ‘
purpose of “ preventing insurrection from usurp- ;
j ing a power which would be a universal scourge,” i
1 and “ not to obstruct the development of publick
, prosperity in any state whatever;” and affirms
:in bold language, that “never did the love of
J war, never the ambitious thought of exercising
an exclusive influence in the councils of,
| other monarchs, or upon the destinies of the
. people confided by Providence to their care, di
rect the policy of his Imperial Majesty !”
A member of the House of Commons had de-j
, manded of the ministry to know if the declara
, tion purporting to be issued by the Allies, was an
’ thentick : and an affirmative answer being given, j
| he declared in his place, that it “ contained senti- 1
; ments highly dangerous to British liberty,” and
j gavenotice that he should make a motion on the
j subject.
| The Cotton Market at Liverpool, says a letter
| of June 8, “ has been a little more steady during
| the last three days, although prices have not re
covered the ground they have lost during the
suspension of demand. Yesterday 1700 bales
were sold, among which were 1200 bags of
Upland, middling to good fair, at 9d a 10 1 -4d.”
Layhach , May 12.
DECLARATION.
Europe is acquainted with the motives of the
resolution taken by the Allied Sovereigns to sup
press conspiracies, and to terminate disorders
which menaced the existence of the general!
peace, the establishment of which had cost so
many efforts and so many sacrifices.
At the very moment when their generous ob
jects were accomplished in the kingdom of Na
ples, a rebellion of a still more odious character,
if possible, burst forth in Piedmont.
Neither the ties in which had, for so many
generations, united the reigning House of Savoy
with the people, nor the benefits of an enlighten
ed government, administered by a wise Prince,
and under paternal laws, nor the sad prospect of
calamities to which the country was exposed,
could restrain the disaffected from their designs.
The plan of a general subversion was prepared.
In this combination against the repose of nations,
the conspirators of Piedmont had their part as
signed them. They were eager to perfom it.
The throne and the State were betrayed—
oaths were violated—military honour tarnished—
and the contempt of every duty soon produced
the scourge of every disorder.
Every where the pestilence exhibited the same
character; every where, one uniform spirit di
rected these fatal resolutions.
Not being able to assign plausible motives in their
justification, nor to obtain national support to
maintain them, it was in false doctrines that these
contrivers of anarchy sought an upology ; they
founded, upon criminal associations, a still more
criminal hope. In their eyes the salutary su
premacy of the laws, was a yoke which must be
destroyed. They renounced those sentiments
which are inspired by a true love of one’s country,
and substituting for known duties, arbitrary and
undefined pretences fora universal change in the
Constituent principles of society, they prepared
endlecs disasters for tlie world.
31
The Allied Sovereigns saw the dangers of this
conspiracy in all their full extent, but they had
also discovered the real weakness of the conspira
tors, in spite of their veil of declamation and de
ceit. Experience has verified their anticipations.
The resistance which legitimate authority has
encountered, has been useless, and crime has
disappeared, at the sight of the sword of justice.
It is not to accidental causes—it is not even to
the conduct of men who behaved so ill in the
hour of battle—that this easy success should be
attributed. It has resulted from a more consola
tory principle : from one more worthy of atten
tion.
Providence struck, with terror, tbe consciences
of men so guilty ; and the censure of the publick,
whose fate was compromised by these artificers of
mischief, caused the arms to fall from their hands.
Solely employed to contend with, and to put
down rebellion, the allied forces, far from pursu
ing any exclusive interests, have arrived to the
aid of the people who are subjugated, and the peo
ple themselves have regarded the employment of
those troops as a support in favour of their liberty,
not as an aggression upon their independence.
From that moment the war ceased—from that
moment the staLs which revolution had assailed,
became the friendly States of those Powers which
never wished any thing but their tranquility and
their prosperity.
In tbe midst of these grave occurrences, and
in a situation thus delicate, the allied Sovereigns,
in concert with the king of the Two Sicilies and
the king of Sardinia, have judged it indispensable
to adopt temporary measure.? of precaution, indi
cated by prudence, and called for by the general
good. The allied troops, whose presence was ne
cessary for the restoration of order have been
placed in suitable positions, solely for the purpose
of protecting the free exercise of legitimate au
thority, and to assist it in preparing, under this
argis, those benefits which may efface every ves
tige of such portentous misfortune.
The justice and disinterestedness which have
prevailed in the deliberations of the allied mon
arohs, will always continue to regulate their poli
cy. In future, as during the past, they will ever
prescribe to themselves the preservation ot the
rights of each State, such as they are ricognized
and defined by existing treaties. The issue, even ,
of such an alarming crisis, will, under the auspi
\ ces of Providence, become the consolidation of
that peace, winch the enemies of the people at
tempt to destroy, and the stability of an order of
things, which will secure to nations their repose
and prosperity.
Filled with these sentiments, the allied sover
eigns, in the conferences at Layhach, have wished
to announce to the world tbe principles by which
they have been animated. They are determined
never to abandon them, and all the friends of or
der will constantly see and find in their union, a
sure safeguard against the enterprises of anarchy.
It is for this purpose that their imperial and
Royal Majesties have ordered their Ministers
Plenipotentiary to sign and publish the present,
declaration.

The accounts relating to the troubles in Tur
key are still so contradictory, that but a very im
perfect opinion can be formed of the Teal state
of things in that country. Sometimes they rep
resent the insurrection as a matter of little mo
ment,and likely soon to be effectually terminated :
and at others, they seem to warrant the inference
that a storm is fast gathering, whicli will shake
the Mahomuiedan power to its very foundations.
They agree, however, in confirming the rumours
| previously received, that the most atrocious
; murders have been perpetrated by the Turks in
| Constantinople, and other places. It is stated,
that a proposal which was some years ago made
in the Divan, namely, to murder all the Christ ians
|in the Turkish empire , amounting to twelve mil
i lions, had been lately renewed !—that it was op
posed by two of the great officers of state on the
ground of its being contrary to their religion, and
at the same {ime impolitick ! These officers have
since been deposed, and the most dreadful appre
, hensions were entertained by the Christians lest
this diabolical measure shoifld be adopted by the
government, and an attempt-made to carry it in
:to effect. The murders already perpetrated are
, imputed to the populace alone ; but it can hardly
be imagined that the government has resorted
, to any effective measures to prevent them, espe-
I cially when we take into consideration the fero
cious character of Turkish policy in times of polit
ical or religious excitement.
We have collected all the important items of in
telligence in regard to the disturbances in Turkey
which we have seen ; but the fact that no news
papers are published in that country renders it
very difficult to obtain a correct knowledge of
passing events.
London , June 6.
We this morning received Hamburgh papers to
the Ist inst. Their principal contents relate to
Turkey. The Porte, it is said, intends to have
two large armies, one on the Danube and (he
other in Macedonia. Nothing certain seems to be
known of Ypsilanti. The accounts from Con
stantinople ail agree as to the savage massacre of
Christians, which is going on in that city. Thou
! sands have fallen victims to the infuriate rage of
the Turks, who cut off the heads of the unfortu
nate beings with the greatest indifference.
From the Banks of the Danube , May 21.
Aft<*r long debates, it has been resolved in the
DivaD at Constantinople, to call over a nev and
powerful Turkish army from Asia to Europe.— j
Strict orders have accprdingly been sent to sev- ’
eral Pachas. The Janissaries at Constantinople :
are speedily to march from that city. The Rus- 1
sian ambaesadotir had frequent conferences with ,
the minister of the Porte.
Ali Pacha, (the famous Turkish rebel) has re
ceived overtures of conciliation and of being res
tored to favour, if he will be content with the
province of Albania ; but it is said he has declin
ed to negotiate till the Turkish troops have evac
uated Albania, a proposal to which the Porte is
not likely to agree.
The number of the Greeks murdered in Con
stantinople amounts to thousands. Ten or twelve
fall upon one person, ill treat him so as to make
him desperate, and when he is so exhausted that
he can resist no longer, they cry out to him “ nie
bolze”, (don’t be afraid) and cut off his head.—
This 11 nie bolze” is now the dreadful watchword i
in the Turkish capital, which daily and hourly re- (
sounds in all the streets inhabited by Greek ;
Christians.
Important despatches have arrived at Laybach
from Constantinople, transmitted by the ambas
sadors of Russia und Austria, relative to the atro- i
cities which have been committed in the Turkish
capital, especially with relation to the horrid
murder of the patriarch. By participating in the -
cruelties of the people, the Ottoman government i
has greatly exasperated the Greeks.
On the 25Ui of April, a corns of tSOO Janissarie 8 1 1
4**,
commenced their march for Wama in Beesarbia.
In ascending the Bosphorus these barbarians burnt
and pillhged without distinction, houses belonging
to the Turks and Greeks. M. Souton, counsel
lor of the Russian Embassy, only saved his man •
sion by throwing handfuls of Gold from the win
dows. The Russian flag, which floated over tbe
hotel of the embassy is pierced w ith built.
In Asiatick Turkey, the native Christians have
almoet universally sought safety in the mountains.
The Franks and European merchants of Smyrna
have sought shelter on board their vessels, wiio
their most valuable effects. The Turks have set
fire to the Grand Bazzoe of tbe Jews in that city.
About 500 Turks from Lepanto made an attack
upon the Greeks at Patras, but were totally de
feated, and nearly half of them were slain.
Prince Ypsilanti has been joined by prince
Cantecuzena, a descendant of the Greek empe
rours. An article from Vienna says, “ Never, at
any period, was the Porte in such a critical situa
tion.”
The following is the Oath which Prince Ypsii
anti has administered to his troops:
“ As an orthodox Christian, and son of our
Calholick Apostolick Church, t swear, in the
name of the Almighty Fatherof our Lord Jesus
Christ, and of the Holy Trinity, to continue
faithful to my religion and my country ; to join my
Christian brethren in the cause of our country’s
liberty, and to shed the last drep of my blood in
defence of my religion and my country, and to
undergo death for the sake of its liberty ; I swear
to kill even my own brother, should he be a trai
tor, to obey my leaders in the defence of my
country, and not desist until its enemies have
been driven out: I swear to take up arms when
ever 1 learn that a corps of Christians is on its
march against our tyrants, and to exhort my
friends and acquaintances to follow my exampie
and never to regard the Turks but with hatred
and contempt. I will not lay down my arms un
til my country shall be delivered and its enemies
exterminated, and 1 will either overcome the en
emies of my religion, or die a martyr for jesus
Christ. Finally, I swear by the mysteries of the
Eucharist, aud may my last hour be deprived of
the comforts of the Holy Sacrament should 1 fail
in the performance of ail 1 have promised to ob
serve before the image of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
It is said that Ypsilanti is master of Adrianople,
and is marching against the capital ; and that La
rissa is in the hands of the Greeks. He had been
joined by a fine corps of 10,000 Bulgarians and
Servians, and it is said that a corps of 30,000 men
sent by the Grand Turk had been destroyed.—
The Greeks are said to have a force of 300 ves
sels in the Archipelago, and have captured a
Turkish frigate and three brigs.
The Coronation. —lt is finally determined that
the corouation shall take place about the middle
of July, ‘i'he royal excursion to Ireland would
follow the ceremony. It is expected that the
king would visit his Hanoverian dominions.
Letters from Naples, of 10th of May state,
that some disturbances had broken out in Cala
bria, but they had been quelled, and several Car
bonari had been shot in that province.
The subjects of Sardinia ami the two Sicilies,
who had taken part in the late disturbances, are
said to be flocking into Catalonia in Spain.

By the arrival last evening of the sloop Wasp,
C'apt. Chester, from St. Augustine, we learn that
the American flag was hoisted at that place on

the American colon-.'s were hoisted with the Span

while they shatter every other kind of glass, make
no impression on the firm fabrick of the Boston

Summer Disease —As the warm weather has set
in, when bilious affections prevail, especially
among children, it may be useful to remind pa
rents that carbon of cork —tjiat is, cork burnt to
charcoal—is a sure cure. The cork must be thor
oughly burnt, and prepared by pouring a tea
spoon full of brandy on the burnt cork, adding a
little nutmeg aud loaf sugar, macerating it on a
plate. The nutmeg is to make it palatable—and
in its place peppermint water may be used. The
quantity need not exceed the size of a hazel-nut,
to be taken at one time, and it may be diluted
with plain water, and the quantity increased at
intervals till the cure is effected. It is efficacious
in bilious cholick—cholera morbus—or summer
complaint. N. Y paper.
