THE Compiler, in his Intro
dudion to these Memoirs, thus re
marks of Mr. Pearce : —" It was ob
served by thi> excellent man, during his
last affiiaion,that he never till then gain
ed any personal inftruftion from our
Lord's telling Peter by what death be
mould glorify God. To die by a con
sumption, bad used to be an object of
dread to him: But, ''Oh my Lord," said
he, " if by this death I can most GLORI
FY thee, I prefer it to all others." The
lingering death of the cross, by which our
Saviour himfelf expired, afforded him an
opportunity of uttering lome of the most
affecting sentences which are left on sac
red record : And to the lingering death
of this bis fervent, we are indebted for a
considerable part of the materials which
appear in these Memoirs. Had he been
taken away fuddenlv, there had been no
opportunity for him to have expressed
his fentioerrs and feelings in the manner
be has now done in letters to his friends.
While io health, his hands were full of
labour, anQ consequently his letters were
written mostly upon the four of occasion ;
@nd reared principally to business, or to
things which would be less interfiling to
Christians in general. It is true even in
them it was his manner to drop a few
sentiments, towards the close, of an ex
perimental kind ; and many of these hints
will be interspersed in this brief account
of him : But it was during his affliaion,
when, being laid aside nearly a year, and
obliged to desist from all public concerns,
that he gave scope to the feelings of his
heart. Here, finding as on an eminence,
he reviewed his life, re-examined the
ground of his hope, and anticipated the
crown, which awaited him, with a joy
truly unspeakable and full of glory. — Like
Elijah he has left the chariot of Israel, and
afeended as in a chariot of fire; but not
without having firft communicated of
his eminently Chriflian fpirlt. Oh that a
double portion of it may rest upon us !"
This faithful and zealous feryant of Je
sus Chr ft, died in the 34th year of his
age, having feryed the Baptist church, in
Cannon-Street, Birmingham, about ten
years, with whom be lived in the sweet
est harmony and love.

BOSTON JUNE 11,
M.ifcicbtfttf L?giflaturc.
Yesterday the question refpcHuig the estab
lishment of a Bank in Beverly, was negatived
in the Senate.
The question, on the petition for incorporat
ing the New Himpfhire Union Bink, was tried
in the Legislature. It was carried in the House,
84 to 60—but was loft in the Senate 7 to 5-
M-. Preftent, and Gentlemen of the Senate,
Mr. Speaker, and
Gentlemen of the Hiufe of Reprcfntatives,
AT the last feffon of the Lcgiflvnre, 3 Ref
niution was paffe ! expreffiag their opinion,
that one session forth% prefect year would ba
fufficient to tranfaa the necessary business of th:
Sta r e. It is prefamed the Resolution was male
public, that the refpeaive Members might at
tend with the idea of remaining in feffian until
the necessary bufmefs of the year was complet
ed, if they fhnuld thigk proper. If you fh>uld
think another feffon unneceffirv, it may be
proper at this time to provide for granting Coun
ty Taxes ; also to affix those grants or salaries,
which have been nfually (though perhaps not
more properly) made near the close of the year.
A letter from his Excellency Governor Ogie,
with certain resolutions of the State of Maryland
proposing alterations in the Constitution of the
United States, as it refpe^s the choice of Elec
tors of President and Vice- Prefiieat. and of Rep
resentatives to Congress, will be laid before you,
and will undoubtedly have all that consider
ation which the importance of the fubje& rea
quires.
To preferye our National Government as the
great cementing power over the Several States,
for the purposes for which it was originally de
signed, is highly important. Completely free
:in its principles, alterations may be made with
, facility; but due care should be taken, left chang
es in its parts fhoull ultimately injure the gen
eral fyd-m. If we confider the date of our
Country previous to the adoption of the Federal
Conftitutiou, have we not the highest reason to
rejoice in our prosperity, under the operation of
that Government for twelve years pad ? Shall
we be able to find, from any Source of informa
tion whatever, thafmore favourable alterations
have ever taken place in any Nation within so
Short a space of time ?—Our almost loft public
Credit has been restored —our (hipping and For
eign commerce greatly increased, notwichdanding
the unprovoked depredations which have been
made thereon by Several of the European Na
tions—large prices are obtained for the Surplus
Produce of our lands —Labour and Induftr,
find a good reward —Wealth has increaSed, and
thegeneral prosperity is very apparent; and while
a large part of the European world, with whom
we have various connections, has been long in
volved in Wars of the most affixing and de
druaive kind, our Country, by the wile and
prudent measures of the Government, has been
preserved from War, with one and another
Nation, when appearances Ilfongly indicated
that it would qot be prevented. Diversity of
opinions, refpe&ng the choice of persons for
managing the public concerns, and respecting
the public measures most proper to be pursued,
will exist in some degree. The division on
those fubjeds ha, arisen to such a height in out
Country, as rauft be lamented by all well-in
formed honed men, however different their po
litical tenets may otherwise be. ft is flat db!,
a privilege, but the duty, of a free people, to
examine the measures of Government : but this
Should always be done with candor, because all
are liable to err. It ought not to be forgotten,
that party Spirit may destroy the best of gov
ernments; and it is incumbent on all, more
especially those who are entrusted with the
management of public affairs, to endeavor
to promote union and harmony of Sentiment on
rational and proper principles.
Many duties are affigued to legislators and
magiftraces by our State Constitution ; a fre
quent rec urrence to the principles therein con
tained, is highly proper.
In order to the preservation of a free Gov
ernment, it is necessary that the great body of
the people should be well informed; and that
a just and proper sense of morality and religion
be entertained : whatever, therefore, may with
propriety be done, to further those important
objects, becomes a duty.
Whatever measures you may think proper to 2-
dopt, will,fo far as may depend on me, be attend
ed to with candor ; and be allured, gentlemen,
that it will afford me great fatisfadion to unite
with you in endeavors to secure tranquility, ad
vance the general welfare, and promote the
lading happiness of our fellow-citizens.
