NEW-YORK, OCT. 3I
Mr. HABERSHAM's RESIGNATION.
“As far as we have been able to
learn the causes of Mr. Haberfham's
refignation,we trace it to a disagreement
between the President and hrmfelf. We,
. are told that Mr. Jefferfon, sent for
Mr, Habcriham, and informed him
Mr. Caleb Greece said, he was very
sorry even to hear a motion for a thanks
giving made in that house.—For the
General Assembly to appoint such a
day, would be an arbitrary interference
in matters of religion. He thanked
God that the people of this Rate were
free from the tyranny of the Prcfbyte
rians of Mafachufetri. — Few of the,
states, he believed, appointed days of
Thanksgiving, and others would be
surprised that the legislature of this
state ffiould trouble themselves about
such matters. He knew that the reso
lutions were clothed in the foft words
of a recommendation, but he knew too
from experience, that those whose con
sciences would not permit them to con
form to the recommendation would be
ftigmatifed, and the minds of the mul
titude inflamed against them.
The gentlemen who were in favour
of a thanksgiving, observed, that it was
acuftom of our forefathers, which had
long been adhered to in this state ;
especially during the stormy times of
the revolution.—That the people had
always approved of and expected the
appointment of such days ; and had al
ways observed them with solemnity and
with profit to their morals—That even
the gentlemen who opposed the recom
mendation, acknowledged the duty of
observing feme day of thankfgiving,and
very faftidious must those consciences
be, which relu& at the performance of
a duty merely because it is recom
mended to them. But that if there
were any such consciences, they were
Under no manner of compulsion :—
And if those few whose consciences for
bid them to join in thanksgiving (be
cause for the convenience of the inha
bitants the particular day is named by
the General Assembly) should incur
some reproaches from those who feel
it a duty to do otherwise ; still, for
their consciences fake, they should
patiently submit to some inconvenien
ces, rather than deprive the communi
ty of those occasions to which they
have hitherto been accustomed, of re
turning their thanks for the blessings
bellowed on them.
Yesterday a resolution for a day of
public thanksgiving was moved by
Judge Bicknall.
Mr. Pitman objected to the appoint
ment of any day by the legislature, he
looked upon it as an arbitrary aft, which
might be proper under the govern
ment of a Pope ; but was contrary to
the republican principles of our govern
ment —that the General Assembly had
no right to meddle in religious con
cerns ; and if they do the citizens were
not obliged to pay any attention to
their recommendations. We read (said
Mr. P.) that Daniel was cast into the
lion's den, and Shadrack, Mefkeck and
Abednego into the burning fiery furnace,
because they would not fall down and
worship the golden image set up by
Nebuchadnezzar, and do we not read in
the new testament that Jefes ChriJl (.who
said Mr. P. was the most perfect man
that ever lived) said, " fear not men
which kill the body, but are not able to
kill the foul, but rather fear him which
is able to destroy both body and foul in
hell."

that it was his gracious will that the
contrasts which the Pol- Matter-General
should hereafter make for carrying the
mail, should be extended to but I year.
Mr. Haberfham informed him that they
had generally been made for two or
three and four years; and reprefehted
to the President that it would be injuri
ous to the revenue to limit their dura
tion to so ihort a period as one year ;
that many who enter into contrasts for
carrying the mail, were obliged to fur
nifh themselves with horses and stages,
often at great expence; which they
could not afford to do, and which they
would not do, to receive the benefits
that might refnlt from a single year:
that by so furniihing themselves, the re
venue itfelf was increased, and the con
tractors carried the mail at a much lets
price than they otherwise would. The
President still infilled that he should
confine the contrasts to but one year.
Mr. Haberlham then informed him
that his duty to the interests of the rev
enue would not permit him so to do ;
and that if the President still inlifted,
he had no alternative, and must resign.
The President still insisted, and Mr.
Haberlham resigned.
