A majority of the Legislature is democratic, and the
Massachusetts Amendment to the Constitution (pro
viding that slaves should no longer be represented)
has been rejected. This amendment would lessen
the influence of Virginia, and consequently must be
rejected. Virginia proposed an amendment which

of the several states to declare Mr. Jefferson Em

sons to make laws to bind in all cases, we have no
reason to doubt but the democratic legislatures
would agree to it. They will certainly soon at
tempt.to alter or destroy the senate, if the people
countenance them any further. None of these
things are unexpected to us, for when any, ques

Jefferson and Virginia r did they wish it done ? Is
I it favorable to their system ?" If it be found in the

guided , for the maintenance of public peace and order ;
for the uncommon measure of health which the people of

And while we celebrate the praises of the Moll High,
let us humble ourselves before him for our numerous and
aggravated transgressions; and beseech him, that he would
grant us the communications of his enlightening and fanc
tifying Spirit, without which we shall abuse the richest of
his providential favours; That he would prosper the
administration of our public affairs ; and that our Nation
al and State Governments may be established in rightcous
nefs; That he would Smile upon and succeed the means
of public instruction and education : That he would pre
serve the people from the influence of malignant passions ,•
and that wicked men may be retrained by the fear of his
vengeance from destroying the reputation & lives of the
innocent ; That he would remove out of the minds of
men the pride and vain philosophy which oppose the re
ception of the Gospel ; That he would form them to an
impartial judgment, and conqur the prejudices which they
entertain against his appointed salvation; That he would
make wars to cease from the ends of the earth, and cause
the divine principles of Christian charity and benevo
lence universally to prevail ; and that his will may be obey
ed with the fame conflancy by men on earth, as by angels
in heaven.

PERHAPS we th' untimely Stroke bemoan,
Tlfflty^ffimWring at th' Eternal's throne;
While from our eye-balls, bnrft the ffrcams'of woe,
Thine happier foul can wonder why they flow ;
Or smile, and pitying our mistaken Sighs,
Can bless the hour that Sent thee to the skies.
Yet must our Sorrows Stain thy mournful bier,
Such goodness left demands a tender tear.
Lamented Stroke —O loft so late, so Soon !
'Twas Hcav'u beftow'd, and Heav'n recall'd the boon,
But ah ! what Sighs our throbbing bosoms rend!
The helpless Orphans, Widow, Mother, Friend,
From bursting hearts the Stream of anguilh Shed,
And pour their mingling Sorrows o'er thy bed.
We Saw but late the budding roses blow,
Like fruit that blulhes on the bending bough ;
But lare th' unfolding bloffoma breath'd perfume,
'Till death Slept in, and lopp'd them jn the bloom.
