This work has I een recommended by many conspicuous men of different denominations in t!ie East and North.

To mention only one subject, for I cannot en-1-irge, it ,;,ies seem a ihodgli in almost ail discuss.oe.s on the suiyet of slavery, whether in public i;e '; i r.gs or newspapers, the Christian spirit is v. ho iv excluded. 1 can scarcely find a trace of it f t!; and while I ! e-ieve that slaveiy is a sin, a s:; one, trom which our country ought to he tree as seen as p.is-s e, 1 think the exhibition of such a -j :nt in the followers of dm meek and lowly Jesus, 1 afar greater sin. 1 am for the emancipation ot t ie slaves with all possible haste, but to me it appears ihat many who declaim and denounce on the sublet, know not what spirit thev are ot, and th -.t d would be well for them if instead of talking si much and so furious'-.- about the emancipation

Tiie man who asserts that the Roman Caihoiics in America are inaccessible, shows himself to be both ignorant of human nature, and unsettled as to the word and promise of Cod. Liberal sentiments find their way even through bo!t, and bar?, and walls :is htiriir.s heaven, Inu how nmcli more power have they in such a country as America. And can ii be that tiie enlightened and liberal efforts of

j Protestant Christians in America will have no efi feet, w hen brought to bear upon those whose minds

have always been held in letters in their native land, but who may now he taught to value the privilege of freedom of thought and conscience! I assure you, sir. it is not in the nature of the human mind to resist such an influence. It loves to go forth, in its own dignity, tree and unshakled. to breathe the pure air of liberty. This is its native element. Tiie chains and tetters of Rome are unnatural restraints, to which it submits in ignorance and impotence; but given a little light and know

subject of education. We hope the day is not ! od it; that it is a determination not to pay the mon-

botids are burst asunder line a flaxen threat! in the blazing fire. I am not theorizing, but I speak sober fact, verified by all our experience. In one word then, I believe that the Lord has sent these miserable, deluded papists to your shores, that yon may 'dZ for their misery, and labor for their relief. Follow then the leadings ol" Providence. Pead, maik, and understand, and do your duty, and the Lord will take care of our churches and prtt ervt them from corruption.

ROMAN CATHOLIC INTOLERANCE. The following are extracts from the "Popish tilde,"' published in Dublin, in 1810, under the sanc

tion of Dr. Troy, the Romish Archbishop: and the ' authority of these annotations, as ecclesiastic tra- i d it ion, stated and ex noun tied by the Pastor of the: 1 church, is maintained to be equally binding on the consciencies of all Papists with the Holy Scripture itself! "Protestants are heretics and schismatics, the bane and disease of this time." Jote on John, xiv. The Church of God, calling the Protestant's doctrine In rcsy of the worst sort that ever tc.ix, doih right and most justly."' Acts xxviii. 22. -The new pretended Church service of England, is in schism and heresy; and therefore, not only unprofitable, but daiviable." Acts x. 0. "That, as the Jewish Temple was a den of tb.ieves, the Church or house appointed for the holy sacrifice oft lie sacrament of tiie body ol'Christ is now much more made a den of thieves being

far distant when this subject will take the place of internal improvements in public estimation, tvhon the improvement of the mind will be consilered ihe most important of all improvements. We must trouble our readers with an extract on another subject: lit pursuance to the resolution of the (k'neral Assembly t f ls:5.", I addressed m the K-th of du

ly last, a circular loiter to each County Auditor in the S-l Ue, requesting them to ascertain ami communicate to me tho number of idiots in their respective counties; tho number of lunatics; ihe ago. sex, and condition of such lunatics; and to s;tn:ify such as required confinement, ami the manner of their

conlinement. Also, the number of blind persons, specifying their ago, sex, and condition in life. I have received returns from the County Auditors of fifty-five counties in answer to my circular of the Hhh July. From these returns, I have drawn a genoral abstract, in a tabular from which I herewith transmit, (market! I).) from which it will be poroejyed, that, in ihe counties that have been reported tiiere are 'dM male, and 'gtS female idiots; PJS male, and 7S female lunatics; makimr the total

number of idiots and lunatics, in .r." counties, 71 i. Of tho above number, 'IS 1 are supported hy their friends; 'dO'd by the public; and twenty one, the manner of their snpK)it is not mentioned. Of the lunatics there are confined in Jails 1'.); in Poor Houses 7; in the Commercial llospitnl and by their fiiends Uo making w totnl number of hm ttics in confinement, '.M. The i. umber of Mind

males is 1 1 I .it! lentil's NS; making the total

ey except on the condition before stated. If the report be true, what is to be done next! It is hoped that our government has wisdom enough to preserve th e honor of our country, and avoid tho calamities of w nr. Si sen mi s. (ircat naval prep-nations ate said to he making nt Toulon, one of tho naval stations ol France. Fifty-nine vosse Is are imw in that purl, a huge number of which are being fitted out for actu

al service, but whether they are designed tooporate against Spain, or some olh.T nutin'i, is not known. Oar ( lovermnent has advertised for 1000 ham-Is of "tin -powder, to bo delivered at tho Navv Y ud a!
