A Tthe celebration ofthe anniversary of A
merican Independence, on the 4th jnft. at
Colbrook, (Con.)the Rev. Mr. Chauncy Lee,
citbat place,difeourfed from Gen. iii, 2, 3.
" And tbe woman said unto the fervent, We may
cat of tbe fruit of tbe trees tftbe garden ; But of
tbe fruit of tbe tree wbicb is in tbe midJi of tbe gar
den, God bath said, ycjball not eat of it nor touch it,
left you die." The preacher Rated, that our
country, in a political sense, was the garden of
the world—That in this garden grows the tree
of knowledge of political good and evil—That
our infatuated countrymen were already par
taking of its deadly fruit That unless they
desisted, the inevitable confequcnces would be
political deftru&ion. That Satan, the firft Jac
ollin who ever made^ his appearance in our
world, tifed the fame arts to effect his purpose,
and had the fame cbje& in view in his attempt
to revolutionize the garden of God, as cur
modern Jacobins pra&ifed to accomplish their
ends ; which was to destroy all religion and
government. He painted the horrid system of
Jacobinifm in its native deformity. He warned
'' his hearers of the evils that threatened their
country and pointed out the means to avert
these evils.

1 - PROPOSAL,
IFOR PUBLISHING BY SUBSCRIPTION,
A
Monthly Magazine,
The CABINET.
By. DANIEL TILLOTSON.
OUR wi,e folks will fay, “ Why
(liquid we have another ?" But
those tufa than they, will declare it "pro
per and fir, provided the publisher can
merit and obtain encouragement."
To promile ufefulnefs, in the common
whine, would only be promifingwh%t ev
ery one has an undoubted right to expect.
To fay i; shall containtvery thing which
delights the ctoiflian, the patriot, tbe tafly
and the witty, ih a style chaste, sublime,
free of bomoaft, but not insipid ; learned
and void cl, pedantry ; to fay all this io
a turgid, blufteriag rant, would frighten
or disgust the persons I want for readers
The word imptfAle, fignifies difficult ; the
phrase out of the way, means a new track ;
therefore all we have to do in this case is,
to turn difficulty into facility, and make
the new trad the best way He, who sub
scribes for, or buys "The Cabinet,"
has the assurance of the publish-r, that
he fhail not be cheated ; and that if suc
cess fhoutd feed his faithful lamp, and
thy smiles, O Critic! should smooth his
brow, thou &lt receive thy cash in plea
sure, in reading half its pages.
CONDITIONS.
I. THE CABINET fall contain 56 pages,
demi octavo, printed on excellent paper, with a new
type; and delivered to fubferibers for 25 cents each
number.

price on deliver y, which Jball be reduced 20 per cent
in favor of those who will take and payfor 20 copies,
and 25 per cent on a greater number than 25.

PROPOSAL
By JOHN RUSSELL,
For Publi/hing by Subscription,
Difeourfes on Dayilla.
I'HE Editor of this work refpeafuL
4 ly acquaints the public, that he
has been induced to this undertaking, by
many friends of high political reputation.
These DISCOURSES were original
ly publiflied in the Gazette of the United
States; but as they did not allow to man,
that portion of political virtue, which
our citizens, at the time of their firft ap
pearance (in 1790) but too erroneously
luppofed him to possess, they were either
condemned as a libel on his nature, or
viewed with jealousy, as inimical to his
freedom. Our obfervatian from abroad,
and experience at home, having since
taught us the lessons they were intended
to inculcate ; and tbofe evils which they
were designed to prevent, have borne the
testimony of their truth.
It is unnecessary to mention the rank
or reputation of the supposed author to
give celebrity to the work. The DIS
COURSES are allowed, by the belt jud
ges, to form a complete eflay on associat
ed man, in which practical improve
ment is drawn from profound inyeftiga
tion; his principles of aAlon, as an indi
vidual, traced to their effects in his rela
tive capacity, and from the light of biftory
' and a thorough knowledge of his nature,
his past disasters are made subservient
to his present and future bappinefs.
The maxims inculcated, are calculat
ed to secure virtue, by laying a restraint
upon vice ; to give age and vigor to the
tree of liberty, by pruning it, excrescen
ces, and to guard it against the tempest
of faction, by the proteaion of a firm and
well balanced government.
A work, combining so much excel
lence, on a fubjed of such dignity and
importance, cannot be too much appre
ciated. Conceiving it to be both ufeful
and honorable to his country, the Editor
is desirous to give it a more durable pub
licity ; and believing the work will meet
with a welcome reception from his fellow
citizens, he pr^fumes that to offer propo
sals will preclude the necessity of elicit
ing the patronage of the public to forward
his design. ^
TERMS and CONDITIONS.
The work will make from 400 to 4§3
layge oHavo pages ; and will be printed with
a handfeme type, on the bfdemi printing paper.
It will be neatly bound and lettered ; and
delivered to fubferibers at two dollars.
A Lift of the names of fubferibers will be
fubjoinetl to the work.
