“ For we have seen his star in the east, ar.a
haw- come to worship hi ns ”,
Divine wisdom never required ot man
the bwliei ot any truth without some kind of
testimony. It will ever stand upon record
to the eternal condemnation ot the unbe
lieving, that light has come into the world,
yet men loved darkness lather tiia'i Ji^lit.
The true lover of truth will always feci dis
posed to receive it upon proper evidence,
alilmugti it should reprove his sins or dis
appoint his expectations. The wise men ill
the days of our Saviour were of this cast.
In common whh the rest of the Jew's they
were anxiously expecting a prince and a
temporal deliverer. They had calculated
the end of prophetic time with exactness.
Various were the conjectures respecting
the promised Shiloh, &. these lovers of truth
were waiting with patience for some new
direction. When lo ! a star in the east ot
uncommon splendor attracted their notice.
However, they soon understood its allusion,
and wne not disobedient lo the heavenlv
•
vision. Tlie exact fulHhncnt ot Scripture,
together with the supernatural appearance
in tiic heavens earned conviction to their
minds, that the Cluist, the Saviour of Israel
had indeed appeared. Such was the faith
o( old Testament believers. But the case
is far diilerrnl with the modern free think
er. Unwilling to admit the truth ot any
thing which reprobates his iniquitous prac- 1
liCcs, he stumbles at the glorious truths of
revelation, and counts lh*.m foolishness.
H«uce the grossest errors art received .in
to his ciceU with scarce any ex-.iiMii.iiUH

In no instance which can be cited

forbearance towards J.ums Madison,
President of tlte United suites.
4i Charity becometh all men." Nor
L it incoiisihU nt with flic federal char
acter to give applause when and where
' it is due—even to an atfvcisnrv—it is

j might deserve it—and now forsooth
f when for reasons and conclusions
I strong as holy writ, they will not full
down and worship Baal—they arechar
■ ged with inconsistency and by some
j with hypocrisy.
HlvC ever the Federalists pledged
themselves to support Madison, except
o i probation ? No. The balance was
suspended in the air—Patriotism in
one scale—Madison in the other—He
was fairly weighed and “ found want
ing.” Had he divested himself of for
eign rubbish, as Charon's passengers
over the river Stvx were obliged to do,
aiM gone into the scale, heart flesh and
blood fiurciij Anici.*'jao, he would to
this‘moment have kept an even balance
and have justly merited and received
the unqualified approbation and horn
! age of every Federalist, and of every
welt wisher to his country's dignity and
• honor.
But lie now conies forth, “ in such a
questionable shape” that even many of
his own adherents doubt him.
Let his ioliowers candidly enquire
whether Madison be President of inde
pendent America or il Lieutenant Jim
»
peror” of our degraded country, now a
jiiiib of monstrous France ! The tinsel
and glitter of office can be bestow’d on
on but few—those who have the pro
mise of the golden Heece, and of be
coming members of “ our American
legion of honour” mislead and deceive
the many.

-■How much honour would be
Pick’d from thu chaff and runin of the

To prove that Madison is as much
under French influence and four as w as
hit notorious fifnjtcMofihical predecessor,
needs only a recurrence to the late di
plomatic correspondence beUvvn W*
i
Secretary and the British Minister.
AVe find in these letters, that Ja k on
on the one part, maintains a dignified
language—such dignity a* is due tc
the government he represents On the
other hand it is plain that our Secreta
ry is not satisfied with dislant and dai
cate insinuations—but he comes forth
in strong and opprobrious language, not
only with recriminations but direct
charges of perfidy and ill faith—and:
when no better pretext can be found
for an open rupture, he alledges that
the British Minister has been guilty of
intimations which the dignity oi the
country cannot brook, and soon after
abruptly closes all communication. We
differ in opinion from many others, in
believing that this insult offered to the
British nation, in her minister, will be
productive of the most serious and
dreadful consequences. It will we
predict terminate in War. Great-Bri
tain has sent one minister weak enough
to be duped ; she has sent another
sufficiently firm and resolved to sup
port the dignity and honour of his own i
country—w hich will she approve and
u hicli condemn ? Unless she has nioie ,
condescension than our government,
she never will send another, to be mobb*d
by hirelings and abused by those in /tow
er. O, shame ! where is thy blush ?

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.
ON Monday the 23d day of last October,
Na'han Coon, of Sugar Creek, in this coun
ty, look his rifle ami wenl into the woods in •
pursuit of venison. Having hunted some i
t ime, he started three deer* which run round
a hill near where the new State road ctos- j
ses the line of CLveruck township.—Mr. j
Coon immediately crossed the hill with the i
view of meeting the deer as they should ;
come round the point ot the hill. Having *
proceeded a little distance, he heard a noise
of rustling i» ti*e 1 *>hes in the (liiedion -
th it he exp. CU d the dee” to come, and ea
ger for game, stepped hastily forward and t
seeing something move through the leaves, j
he fired, and the inject fell. On approach-,
ing the spot, lo !—instead of a deer—i man
had fallen, and %vas writhing intlie most ex
crueiating ; g *r ies—Captain S.<muel Clark,
of Clave rack, had contracted to open a j«tr t
of the state toad* and was at work u|>or. it a
lone, wlu n the b.ll sn ack him near the
right all -uider bind- , and penetrated to the
spire of the b^ck Hhcti Mr. Coon came
in with live sad intfl igence, measures were
immediately taken for bringing in optair
Clark to bis place of residence at Capt .n
Gregory’s. He received his wuund ahoi t
one o’clock, P M arul retained nis senses
pei.foc.Iy, whofo ire %*uvised, which
j
til about eight o’clock iu tue evening, when
he expired.
Captain Clark wa3 a respectable and \v<~r*
thy man, aixmt 55 years of age, and has let's
j * bildren to mourn his untimely death.—
Mr Coon appealed exceedingly rfHiclcd ;
there was no doubt that the wound whs en
tirely accidental ; but such accidents occur
so frequently, that it is impossible not to con
skier the jversons who are the causes of
them, if not guilty* at least extremely repre#
hcnsible for their carelessness. Humtn
from such fatal consequences, ought to learn
to exercise more prudence and caution for
the future.
