IYIHES
The article which I have given
below with this title, taken from
the Cork Chronicle , I hope my
friends in America will read with
attention. It (hews them what they
are to expect, if their Cossick Priest
hood should iucceed in their at
tempts to establish a dominant
church Not olily will they exadt
a ten,th of rheir corn, and their cat
tle, which grow and are fed ir? the
fields, but their'fruit, their'apples,
their pears, their plumbs, and all
those choice and delicious products
which cthftitute the kitchen gar
den, and are lb consoling to the
heart o/ man, will be tythed by
these rapacious fiends, who, as was
the case in France before the revo
lution, had the impudence there to
aflert* that the earth and its fulliftfs
is their heritage, and that the pro
pie, over which they hacf a’ffumed
a iway, were created merely to be
fleeced by them. It is for this,
and this only, that the priesthood
in America are exerting themselves
to overthrow the republican gov
ernment. They feel, that under a
frugal) government, which is careful
to teach every map, his duty in soci
ety without calling iti th* aid of
spiritual teachers, there is no
chance of their being abfe to
establish an empire over the mind.
This the foundation of all their
. power being unattainable, their
grand object is to bripg into difere
d:t that system which presents so for
midable a bar-ier to their encroach
ments.

Bishop of Cloyne’s Court.
readers may recoiled that -
we called their attention fome time
since to the fubjedt of certain cita
tions iflued from this court at the
iuit of the Rev. Thomas Carson,
Reftor of Kiimahon, for the reco
very of tythe of green clover, ap
ples, pears, plumbs&cherries which
grew in a kitchen garden. On
J uefday last, the Court was crowd- ’
edto excels, principally a very ref
pedable number of gentlemen al
fembled to witness the proceedings.
However, upon reading the cita
tion, it was difeovered that it was
erroneoyfly filled,; so that the claim
of the Reverend Pastor was difmifT
ed, after going through part bitfte
the evidence. We have been in
formed that the Vicar General took
tins opportunity of censuring in
very ftrofig and energetic language,
iuchTmvel modes of proceding as
tne prelent, and expressed his hope
that this woufH be the last time he
should witness claims of this nature
brought into his court. .However,
we have been informed that the
Rev. Mr. Canon declared in open
court his intentiou of re-commencing
the suit . It was brought against
Wm Abbott, Esq, of Ballyrnalee, a
y -.m.T gentleman connoted with
the moft relpe£lable families of the
Society of Friends, throughout the
country, and from whose well cul
tivated farm of 233 acres the Rev.
Paftdr requires a considerable year
ly income in tythe. This gentle
man has been remarkable for his
very kirfd attention to a widowed
mother, and a number of brothers
& filters, who were left a burthen
upon him at a early period pf
life. The fame Rev. gentleman
was difmifled upon turn other cita
< tions on the fame day, one of
which was for the tythe of a fmffil
quantity of flax which grew in a
fjead-lancj of a cornfield, the tythe
ot which had been duly paid.

OnondAgo, August 23.
Died, at the Onondago Gaftle oi>
Sunday last, cne of the Chiefs of
the Alieganies, well known thto*-
out this country as the Indian Pro
jahet.
Those who have been acquaint
ed with the influence this
man’s-preaching has had upon the
icondud of the Six Nations, (the
Oneidas excepted) cannot but look
upon his death as a feVere dispen
sation of Divine Prdviderice. We
think that a fliort biographical
(ketch ot this,extraordinary ,>an
cannot be unacceptable to th'e pub
lic.
During the firft fifty of his
life, he was remarkable only for his
stupidity and beastly
About thii teen years ago, while
lighting his pipe, he iuddenlv fell
back upon bis bunk, upon which
!*c was then fitting and continued
in a state of infenfibiliry for fix of
eight hours ; his family fuj>r> mng
him dead, had made prepaiSrions
for laying him out, an.d whiif in
the ad of removing from his bunk,
he recovered. His firft words were
“don’t be alarmed. I have seen
Heaven ; call the nation together
that I may fell them whktf have
seen and “heard ” The nation hav
ing afleuibled at his house, ?‘e in
formed them that he had seen

Great Spirit is angry with

He (fated that he was condutie J to,
the gate of Heaven which wn o
pened, but he was not eo o
enter; that it was more hi ;u >*al
than any thing they could conceive
of of be deferjbed, and that the in.
habitants appeared to be p. thedly
happy, that he was fufiere to re
main there three or four hours, and
was then recondu&ed by The fame
young men, who on taking their
leave, promised they wouia visit
him yearly, and commanded hirp
to inform all other Indians what he
had seen and heard.—He immedi
ately visited the differrent tribes of
Indians in the western part of the
states, the Oneidas excepted.
They all put the moft implicit faith
in what he told them,; and revered
him as a prophet. The*cofe
quence has been, that from a filthy
lazy drunken wretched set of be
ings, they have become a cleanly,
induftrious,fofrer and happy people.
The prophet has continued, as he
fays to receive regular annual visits,
from those Heavenly messengers ;
immediately after which, he in his
turn, vifitedThe different tribes
He was on one of these annual vi
sits at the time of bis decease.
It will be proper to observe, that
he was called the pe ace prophet,’ in
contra-diftindion to the brother of
Tecumseh, who was called the
WAR .prophet. ).
