pleasure it is to pay one’s debts !—Sit* |
I’. Littleton made Uiifc observation. It
seem% to flow from a combination of
circumstances, each of which is pro
ductive of pleasure. In the first place,
it removes that uneasiness which a true
sjnrit feels from dependence and obli
gation. It a fiords pleasure to the cred
itor : and thereby gratifies our most
social affections : It promotes that fu
ture confidence which is so very inter
esting to an honest miud : It opens a
prospect of being readily supplied
wiib what we want on future occasion :
It leaves a consciousness of our own
virtue : And it is a measure which we
a. •
know to be right, both in point 6f Jus
| • ice and sound policy. Finally^it is the
i main support of reputation.

** The truth shall ma/e us fret**
The Scriptures of truth represent the sin
ner as being a sl.tve to the prince of darkness, j
and as being led captive by Satan at his
wilt. But the disease of Sin is of such a |*e
culiar nature tlml it sttipific* the senses, and
men fancy themselves in sound health and
perlect liberty, white they are nigh u-nr
death, atid in the most ignoble servitude
that can be imagined. In order to di*.
anguish tlie freedom spoken of in the uxt
from the licentiousness which many in
dulge, let us examine the slavery -f the
sinner particularly. He is a slave to spir
itual ignorance. The God of this world hath
so completely blincltd his mind, that he per
ceives not the beauties of holiness, and
therefore has no relish tor things appertain
ing to God' He is a slave to hardness of
heart. Sin, having effected a lodgment j
there, obstinately resists all serious im*'
pressions, and hence be is a slave to a per- j
verse will which domineeringly lead him i
fioni all righteousness, and prevents him I
from laying down the weapons of his rebell-1
ion at the tool ut the Cross. He is a slave
to his own vile affections which occupy that
place in the man which should be the resi
< I . a I * a a • ■
utriite oi tue nuiy opiru. rae is a siavr to
the law winch holds him in bondage under
its condemning sentence, and he is alro a
slave tu his own tears and the horrors of a
guilty conscience. This however is some
times shaken off, espec.ally in prosperity j
but trouble, sickness, or a near prospect of
death awakes in his Soul the most awfult
terrors, ana subjects hilti to the gnawing*
of that worm which never dies. It is the
peculiar province of the Gospel which is the
word of truth and salvation to every one
that litlicveih, to tree the soul from this
cruel bondage ; and this deflects in its own
puculiar way. By ha power it reclines the
conscience to make (tie man feel his guilt
and consequent danger—it enlightens theJ
mind to perceive, and the understanding to
appiove of the way ot* Salvation, while at
the suite ume it sweetly inclines the will
to accept oi the offered mercy. The snack
les of vile and sensual affections are ex
chaiigeu tor the graces of the Spirit. The
Uw cca*es to be a refuge as a covenant of
works, though u js religiookiy regarded as
a rule of holy living, wiule the Wars of de
served wrath, and the pangs of guilt, are
succeeded by the assurance of hope, and
the joy ot believing. this is the f.ecdom
promised in the text. This ts the glorious
liberty ol die children of Go<l, This is the
blest gain of.a baviour’s puichase, a gain
which has its truit unto holiness, and the
eml everlasting life.

It is our endeavour, through the year, to
lay before the pubhek, such facts and de
ductions, as may prepare the munis of can
did and reflecting men to discharge the im
portant duties of freemen with understan

It ik impossible, on the occasion, which
now calls us to act, to bring into one view,

bearing on the decision we are to make.—
We snail refer to a lew only, which pre

You all know what we have been, and
what we arc. You an* all sensible of a
melancholy change in the situation of our
country's prospeiuy. You all know that
during the years of us prosperity, «ts puolick

or rather by men of a clin-a called federal
ists. Soon after their opponents too* the
helm, our embarrassments commenced, and
have increased to this day.
At first view, most certainly die natural
conclusion is, that the change of men and
measures h*s produced the change in onr
situation. And vriU not the same conclu

is evasive and unsatisfactory. Why are
our rig its invaded with immunity ? it is uo
new tiling to feel the euciuachments ct for

A CURE FOR THE CONSUMPTION
Is slated to have been lately discoveied
in Spanish America by an indian. The re
medy is asserted to be spec 'y and inf at it hit in
all cases of diseased lungs—or wbat is cull d
pulmonary consumption. It consists of an in
fusion of the inner bark of a tree called At
corn.xjue, which is found c»n the Spanish
Maine. ’Should the Alcora.ique prove to
be a specific remedy in all c-st s of pulmo
