" The Reformer." THE design of this work is to expose the clerical schemes and pompous undertakings of the present day, under pretence of promoting tcligion, and to show that they are irreconcilable with the spirit and principles of the gospel. The great missionary operations which com

menced a few years since, and the numerous Theological Seminaries created, Sc which are still erecting in every part of our country, have tended to the exaltation of an order of men to a height not warranted by the New Testament. Their number and influence are rapidly extending throughout all parts of the community, and threaten the destruction of our civil and religous liberties. By means, either direct or indirect, they are steadily advancing their cause, and their ascendancy over the minds of the people; and

at no distant period, should their influ

ence continue to increase, scarcely an individual will be found willing to incur the

hazard of opposing any of their schemes.

The pernicious effects of clerical domi

nation in this country, may be inferred

from the history of other countries, and ought early to be guarded against. There

are already few who have sufficient firmness to present these men before the public in their true colors, and hence the prospect of their success, and our danger is greatly increased. From these considerations, and to expose the corrupt, pompous, and fashionable religion inculcated and supported bv this pensioned order of men, The Ref;r mer w as commenced. The extended circulation of the work among the reflecting and better part of the community, has convinced the editor that his views on these subjects are not peculiar; and that the publication max be more generally known, and mnsi qu: inlv be more useful, he is induced to p:cs nt some notice of it in a more public way than has yet been done. Being neither under the jurisdic

tion nor influence of any particular sect.
