Court of that Commonwealth, prejented the ap

Some time ago Dr. Morse profeeuted Mr. Reid,
Bookseller, in Newyork tor publishing Winter
botham's hiftory ot America, into which extracts
were introduced from the firft volume of his
: geography. Morse obtained one-thonfand dollars
damages. With the money in his pocket be G ent

condole his situation. - He told Mr. Reid that he
was very sorry for his loss, that he underwood he
had a large family and was a very honest, indus
trious, and refpe&ble man. Yes, replied Mr.
Reid, and that's more than you ever was or ever

A Specimen of federal Religion.
The hypocrisy of the writers in the Royal
Gazette bears some affini y to an ahecdote told of
a living federal character now in this state, and
which, however immoral the att, ji an absolute,
faft. The person to whom we allude got so much
disgusted With the service of the church of which
he was a member, that he left it, and took a “ fer
rious" oath never more to attend divine service,
to which, for many years, he has scrupulously ad
hered.; When Mr. Jefferfon was elected, like ma
ny perfons\who profejs to be religions, he ex
claimed, "By G .., now our religion as well our
liberty will go to h-ll !" Watch Tower.
-<-<❖>->-
A free dittuffion of opinions and fafts, is one of
the favorite maxims of President Jefferfon, in re
fpeft to religion, science, philosophy, government
and petfonal character. Instead of legal eltablilh
ments and proscriptions of doctrines and fy Items,
he is for bringing them all to the bar of reason &
investigation as the belt fallible standard of truth
and right. On this ground, he willies not to have
;his adnpniftration shielded by sedition laws ; but
to lie open to public examination, trolling to
time and the common progress of information, to
repel danders and correct errors. There is cer
; tainly something magnanimous in the principle. —
: Ifjt can be fafely reduced to practice, it will be a
great point gained in favor ot both liberty & good
[government. For the honor of human nature
'and theliappinefs of man, it is to be devoutly hop
ed the experiment will be (uccelsrul in the end,
irotwith ttandinx ho may be mate exposed, espe
cially at firlt, to the unpleasant effects 01 “ afperi-
Ity and falfe coloring." Sun.

The flourifoing State of New-York, is thorough
ly RepublicAUifcd? c The' Executive, and about
two thirds 'of the legillature, are genuine, conlli
tutional Democrats, who have Hemmed the tor
rent of Hamiltonian and British influence, and re
&&i their republican government to its founders
aft friends. On this triumph of principle, we
congratulate the republicans ot that, and all the
other dates."
It is an old proverb, “ that a drowning man will
catth at aJ?raa.''—This is demonittated by the
conduct Os the pretended ' friends to law, order
.and' religion ?^r, more properly speaking, the
Enemies of Republiffifa :—They try hard to
support their linking caufd, with allthe fophittr,
, they are mailers of; but all will not dp. They
are not content with advocating an hereditary
government, with Lords Temporal and Spiritual;
but endeavor 15 edablilh hereditary principles al
so ; and infill upon it that a man is a Tory, be
cause his father wa^ a refugee ; and? censures the
President for appointing to office a conspicuous
republican, because, forfooth, his lather was a to
