of the ni.hty ai.d the noble are r;lb d to eminent services in the C hurch of God, for

he chooses the weak things of litis world to confound the mighty, that no self-impor-tant person may nlory in h presence. In another place, when the divine evidence of the heavenly authority was strikingly set he fore the degenerate Jews, for their acceptance, it was enquired whether any cfthc rulers or pharasees believed? Supjmc these enquirers had accepted the eviderre decisive, without reference to those important personsthei. had they heen numbered nmoni; thoe cboen seed who believed unto salvation; hut if they waited fjr those who were considered great people, rulers and phariees to lead the way. they would never arrive at the harbor of eternal safety. For though a few of the rulers were numbered with the believers in Jesus Chri-t, ue don't find that tlie phar.ee, who we are told professed to he very righteous and holy persons, more so than their r.eilibour? ; we dont find that these ever received the Messiah, or believed in him as the Deliverer, who was to restore the Jews to the Divine favour. No nor can a pharasee, while he entertains that exalted opinion of his own righteousness which sets him above his equals in his own, view, and says, stand o(F, I am more holy than thou, ever become a believer in Christ, or partake of the Jovs of H od's salvation. What are we to learn by the parable of the man who fell among thieves, hut that a Sam n atari, one of a religious profession, that was much despised, was at heart really a better man, and mure humane, than either Priest or Levite. Those Ministers of Religion were net accustomed to acts of humanity and kindness; no they kept off, on the other side, and went their way, no doubt ay to themselves, this is some, lowlived fellow that has got into a scrape by hi-own want of discretion. The kingdom

of Heaven, is re?t, peace, and joy m the Holy Spirit, shed abroad in our hearts, and i never known by the seif-important, pharasaical spirit, in any ticncration that has existed from the creation to the present time. LUCAS.

pressors of every religion but his own, thAt he thinks their conversion not worthy hfc endeavors. Sometimes, however, a

nous Musselman,instigated by zeal or personal attachment to a Christian or a Jew, lift up his hands and exclaims, 'Great God, enlighten this infidel, & graciously dispose his iieart to embrace thy holy religion.''

In every part of Turkey, Christianity is tolerated on certain pecuniary conditions, and the insatiable avarice of the Turks is

the potent preservative o! those Christians

and Jews that dwell among mem. l ncse infidels are an inexhaustible treasure to the government and to powerful individuals, and protection is dearly purchased. The first etTort of Mahommcdan education is to

! root in the minds of children an abhorrence nf Christians and Jews: and infants are

taught to distinguish them by the name of

iGhiour. The Christians are treated by the iMahommedans with a cruelty, which varies itself in a thousand forms. They are interdicted from the pomp of processions, the souud of hells or of psalmody.and every public demonstration of worship. They (must erect no new churches, and heavy 1 fines to the government increase the exIpense of repairing the old. Their public

arid private buildings are measured nv a

diminutive standard; in the streets and paths the) must give w ay to the meanest of the people; their very dress is command ed to be ditfercnt from that of the Moslems, and in hut few cities dare they appear on

' horseback. If a Christian personally chastises a Moslem, his life is forfeited to the

laws, but if a Moslen kill a Christian, the murder may he ransomed. J "In the courts of law, the evidence of ; two disciples of Jesus is equivalent only to the testimony ofone believer in the Arabian Prophet. In the greetings of these different people, the word Salam is carei fully avoided by the Turks, on account of jits affinity to the sacred words E-lam and : Moslem; and happy is the Christian, if to J the most courteous salutation of his Mahom jinedan lord is not added the epithet of inli- ! de l or dog. t The scorn and detestation which the

Turks hold the Christian race have caused them to spurn all information and improvement proceeding from the latter, and thus contributed to the comparative ignorance and grossness in which they universally remain. They must, from their immutable creed.continue to reject the l'mlit ofsciei ce

; and the inventious of genius Sc skill, whiie i knowledge and arts are making progress I among the subjects of even the worst of the ! other European despotism. Every where ; in Europe except the Turkish empire, ivil -!zatio.i cannot ail to make progress in the ! rectification of bigotry 8c fanaticism as well as in other respects. But the case of all 'under the Turkish rule is hopeless in ail points. It is therefore, if not from various

other considerations, that rule is eminently to be desired by every lover of humanity.

NEWSPAPERS. "Intelligence i the life of Liberty." An American, and not take a paper! I should re-

! upect hiui more, ;ind pity him les, if I saw him with a newspaper, although destitute of a coat and a , breakfast. What could he a more noble 'pect.icle ' than a freeman who would soon r deprive himself of some of thoe articles which we call necessaries than i to remain ignorant of the world's history intLi'wonj ilerfnl ac. On the other hand, w hat more abject

and ba than to throw away on viumn indu Inclines, an h'iridreil tniics the price of a piajer, rind for the w ant of on-, remain uncpiahfit-d fur the discharge of our public ilnties. The history of pat aj;es is useless, hut fhe history of our time is indispensable. Men, who undertake to stir without it, will j;rope in thick darkness ; will be unable to judge with accuracy of public aburs, anl will bv responsible to their families, their coun-

! trvfc their God for their refusal to acquire knowledge.

j The Id'tory of our own times is a matter of j ecui liar concern lo us, because it is the age of astonishi ing changes, of changes too that aff-ct our interests I and our dearest hopes: but the history of the presjr.it times concern us iftore especially, hkcause

these times are ocr owiw. Hut who is so ski.hsii as to think of noe itur himsKI.1'! Who will not have an eye to the intelligence of those about him ? Who will not regard, the innocence, peace, happiness and elevated ftate of society, which comes from dissemination of kuowle(Lre, and that cheapest and most genera) diffusion of knowledge, a circulation of the newspapers. Ah ? do we rellect stithciently, how important an auxiliary of virtue it may become? Do we think how much more efficient it may be than even the pulpit? How muh wider the circulation of its entiments! and transitory as they are much more lasting its impression ? Again, we say, who will not take a little . pains, exert a littte influence to qualify men for the exercise of their rights? Who w ill not in this way do something to strengthen the barrier which freedom has thrown in the western world against the ravages of despoti?m ? But, above all who is there that can bear to send his oflVpring upon the world unfitted to take an active part in it, and limited in the power of heinc useful to themselves or others. Theyonngof either sex, who arc ignorant of their tiro s, cannot cnie in competition with others.

A meeting of the friends of John Quincy Adam was held in U'urchestcr, Mass. on the 2d Sept. inst. for the purpose of nominating Electors. The following preamble to the resolutions expensive ofthe feelings and sentiments of the meeting, was unanimously accepted. The approaching choice of Electors of President and Vice President imperiously demands our attention, as, at the present moment, a subject of great and paramount importance; inasmuch asournational prosperity and honor must he deeply affected by the result of the Presidential Election. The excitement which has been so prematurely, and so deeply and generally felt throughout the country on this subject, has served to bring the characters ofthe several Candidates very fully before the people; and it is difficult to conceive how any candid mam can, at this time, hesitate to which his influence and his suffrage shall he given. We see among them a man whose qualifications for the highest office in the people's gift, are not inferior to thoe of any Presidential Candidate since the resignation of the Father of his Country. Endowed bynature with a powerful and splendid intellect, which has been from his earliest childhood called forth and cultivated in American principles and in the School of American politics called in his youth into public life, and long intimately conversant both with the foreign and domestic administra tion of our government honored through Europe as the most able diplomatic repre-, sentative of our nation dignified at bom by the express and warm approbat ion ofthe j illustrious Washington long tried and uni-i

formly found faithful to the great interests of

the People, and to the principles of national liberty ,on which our government is fouuded, he has trodden unchecked the difficult road of regular preferment till he has reached that post which is second only in honor and responsibility in the National Council-. So labourious Sc indefatigable has he been in the discharge ofthe multiplied public duties which have devolved upon him, that no man can point out a neglect of his by which his country has either suffered or been dishonored. So irreproachable is his conduct as a man, that, amidst all the violence and

asperity ofthe present electioneering cxcitement,not an insidious whisper has been breathed against his moral character. No suspicions of official misconduct rests on him no blood cleaves to his hands. The present bitter protracted rivalry has shewn on what foundation the pretensions ofthe several Candidates rest. Those of Mr.. Adams have not risen with a sudden gust of popularity, which has as suddenly dieil away. They are not founded on single services,vhich fortune and the the bravery of his couutrymen assisted him to accomplish. His claims arise from long, successful and unassisted labors for the interest and honor of his country. They are founded on "the assiduous employment cf
