DEMOCRACY AND INFIDELITY.
THE general prevalence of infidelity among the leading democrats has been denied by many with much warmth, while the reality of such prevalence has been maintained on the other side with much cogent evidence. There are some of the democrats, however, whom we have heard to acknowledge with much candor, that infidelity and democracy were intimately connected. Such might not have been the words, but such was the meaning. Philosophy they pronounce inconsistent with Christianity. Infidelity they baptize philosophy. Can republicanism, they ask, be consistent with that philosophy which is inconsistent with Christianity?
But most of the democrats deny that infidelity can in justice be applied to the democrats of this country more than to others. Let us pay a little attention to this question: Whether the gradual destruction of the Christian religion be or not one of the greatest wishes of the leading democrats in America?
No one who has perused Barnet's Memoirs of Jacobinism , or Robinson's Proofs of a conspiracy , after making the most ample deductions for any prejudices which these writers may have been supposed to possess, can hesitate a moment in the opinion that the overthrow of religion was a work long since conceived, organized, and in part effected in Europe. The attempt of the legislature of France to destroy the Christian religion is evidence that must produce conviction. But the original design of the Illuminati was not merely the destruction of Christianity, but of even natural religion, or even the belief of the existence of Deity. What were the words of Danton, in the national legislature?
Tear down these altars of God. We have destroyed the altars of despotism, but the altars of God still remain. We know no God but Reason. The legislature undertook to decree, that there is no God. Bibles are burnt in triumphal piles; churches robbed and destroyed; the sabbath abolished; and the most violent attempt made to wipe from the mind every vestage of religion. What were the crimes of France that resulted from this absence of religious restraint? The frequent tear will dampen the pages of that history, which, faithful to truth, shall record the tales of crime and cruelty that thicken the transactions of the French revolution; that shall depict in suitable colors the ghastly splendor of this horrid interregnum of besotted liberty and discarded conscience. These dreadful outrages proceeded from the united design of destroying together religion and government. This atheistical hell-spited monster, the French revolution; this novel theory of civil and religious rights, or rather of uncivil and irreligious wrongs, had its origin in the same spirit which now actuates many a violent democrat in America. The politics and philosophy of Condorcet, Mirabeau D'Alembert, and of most of the Encyclopedists, &c. &c. were the parents of the French revolution. These unwearied advocates of atheism were incessantly employed in propagating their doctrines among all sorts of people, but especially among the lower and more ignorant classes. The improbability, and even the impossibility of a supreme intelligence was advocated by the leading members of the revolution, in common conversation, and in cheap books and pamphlets, circulated with diabolical industry, calculated not only to catch the attention of the ignorant and abandoned, but by scholastic reasoning and the show of philanthropy, to impose on the minds of men not altogether unenlightened. The sweets of unbounded liberty were painted in glowing colors. The check of lust was taught to burn with innocence. Debauchery and adultery were considered as natural rights. Piety, chastity, virtue, were ridiculed as the whims of superstition, of a foolish education. Such principles, notwithstanding what Mr. Jefferson may say to the contrary, have broken many legs, picked many pockets, and taken off many heads. Their horrid tendency has been exemplified in the miserable exit of their principal abettors, and in the wretched state of morals wherever they are in general belief.
From the continent these principles crossed the water to England. Philosophers, both male and female, grew in abundance out of male depravity and female lechery. The Godwins, the Mary Wollstonecrafts, the Ann Yearsleys, &c. scribbled and were read. The whole herd of writers of this cast seem now however running violently as the swine of old down the steep hill of infamy; while such in Ameri-
ca are increasing in the patronage of the public and of the government.
Let us examine the conduct of our leading democrats in America these ten years past, as far as it respects the encouragement they have given to works and to men of deistical and atheistical sentiments.
When Paine's Age of Reason first arrived in America, who patronised it and promoted its circulation; The democrats. An edition of many thousands was immediately published at the Aurora office, and sent in every direction to all parts of the continent. There are lying at a book-store in this city, [Richmond] large bundles of the Age of Reason , sent here by Bache , then editor of the Aurora , without any order. The edition was a cheap one; the price of the book was made trifling that it might be purchased by all sorts of people. It was vauntingly declared by many democrats at the time that priestcraft would soon be at an end; that the christian religion would be considered in the same light as the ancient religion of Greece or the present religion of China, the effect of cunning in priests to enslave and to rob the people. And who now say and do all in their power to varnish over the crimes and blasphemies of this detested Tom Paine? The democrats. Is not this one strong evidence of this union of democracy and infidelity?
Very many books have been published in France to prove the non-existence of Deity. The " Systeme de la Nature " was one of the most noted. A translation from the French under the English title of " Common Sense, or Natural Ideas opposed to Supernatural ," was published in Boston. This work is a most complete one; that All religion is built on the belief of a God; let us knock away this foundation and religion falls to the ground. It is a volume of 150 or 200 pages. The whole labor is to prove the impossibility of the existence of a God. There are some specious arguments in the work; so there might be in a book attempting to prove that oysters have souls. Propositions are not to be discredited because we cannot account for them. Where there is one difficulty in accounting for the existence of a Deity, there are an hundred in accounting for the present state of things without a Deity. No man can account for it that a tree should not be able to walk with its roots as well as a crab with its claws. Every thing is mystery, is miracle, yet we forget that,
"Man was not made to question, but to adore."
We mention this book because there are many who do not believe in the existence of an atheist. This book has had a considerable circulation, in some measure privately however. A gentleman was in the store of a great democratic bookseller in Boston when a person came in and enquired for this work. The bookseller took him aside and whispered to him, not without being overheard however "yes I have it, and it is the best book you ever read."
Godwin's " Political Justice " has had at least one edition in America. This is an attack on all government and all religion; a scandalous performance; yet admired by many of our democrats. A short lived democratic society, four years ago in Washington, called the Literary Society , though some of its members scarcely knew the letters of the alphabet, was established apparently for the joint purpose of furthering the interests of democracy and infidelity. Godwin's Political Justice was to have been one of the first works to be printed by this society, of which James Lyon, and one Dinmore who narrowly escaped the punishment of the pillory or something similar, and who now conducts a puny democratic print in Alexandria, were members—but somehow the funds of the society took a wrong direction, and the society were abolished.
A large number of democrats formed a society in New York under the name of the " Theistical Society ," the grand object of which was opposition to the Christian religion. The existence of this society and the design of its establishment, have been too fully proved ever to be again denied. This society was composed wholly of democrats; shall it then be said, that there is not an union of democracy and infidelity.
A base democrat by the name of Palmer, physically, and intellectually blind, published a work which may be denominated a supplement to Tom Paine, called the " Principles of Nature ." The Theistical Society, and other democrats so circulated
* This man's name is Paine; he added the E when he escaped to America to save his body from the punishment due to him for his fraud in England.
and patronised it, that it has run through two editions. He, Chaetham, Dennis, Anthony Campbell, O'Driscol, &c. established a long time a weekly paper called the " Temple of Reason ," the open and professed design of which was to destroy the christian religion. Palmer for some cause left the editorship of the paper, and strolled about from place to place, where he could find hearers, preaching the principles of the Age of Reason , blaspheming his God and the Saviour. We know not what has become of this democrat: The last we heard of him was, that he was picked up drunk in the street in the night at Baltimore, having been ejected from a bawdy house, and unable on account of blindness to walk home to his den. O'Driscol published the Temple of Reason some time after in Philadelphia, under the patronage of minister Duane, and if we have been correctly informed of Mr. Jefferson. Failing there O'Driscol went to Baltimore, where he published a democratic paper for some time. After which he was sent for by some of the democrats in Georgia; he went to Augusta to edit a paper, where the great old father of democracy has not called him home, he probably is now. This O'driscol was formerly a catholic priest in Ireland. A certain sum is allowed to every catholic priest who becomes converted to the Episcopal church, for the sake of this sum as he himself acknowledged, he turned protestant; he was a jail bird some time for treason or sedition; some how escaped, came to America, and is now like Duane one of our artisans of seventy-six.
The above are a light, a blessing, an honor to society. It was a most happy circumstance that the forefathers of New England early founded universities there, and made the acquisition of a liberal education a necessary qualification for the office of pastor. Hence they are a respected and enlightened class of men, as federal in their political tenets as correct in their moral deportment and faithful in their religious duties. The same may be said of the political opinions of almost all the clerical profession, where similar advantages have been received. This formidable body of men presents a dreadful obstacle to the wishes and labors of democracy. They have been assailed with all the rancor & bitterness of deistical persecution. But at the northward in particular the attempt to overthrow their influence has been ineffectual. Levi Lincoln, fortunately favored with as much impotence as malice, wrote and raged and raged and wrote, to no purpose; or if to any purpose to that of making ten enemies to his cause for one convert. The pulpit is and may it long continue an invincible bar to the wishes of some of the leading democrats in America: for it is what
"Must stand acknowledged while the world shall stand, The most effectual and important guard, Support and ornament of virtues cause."
Another proof of the union of infidelity and democracy is drawn from this circumstance; that most of the leading democratic papers are conducted by known infidels. It is true they pretend to consider religion as totally unconnected with politics. A public newspaper is not the place for discussing doctrinal points in theology; but it is profitable to virtue, morality, the best interests of society, that the press should support the authority of religion generally, and expose its enemies. The Enquirer is a paper of considerable eminence: of the wishes of that paper to further the interests of irreligion, we will not now enquire, yet we have seen some remarks that induce us not yet to entertain the opinions we wish. In the Enquirer of March last we observed a toast drunk on the 4th at the Eagle tavern by Mr. Thomas Riche, "Thomas Paine the literary hero of the American revolution; in spite of kingcraft or priestcraft the rights of man shall continue forever." This at a table of democrats celebrating Mr. Jefferson's re-election. The delivery of such a toast could not have been very pleasant to christian hearers; and what are christian readers to think of the following expression of the Editor of the Enquirer in that paper of March 21st? Speaking of Tom Paine, he says, "I confess from my heart that even his much deprecated Age of Reason , has contributed to give me a more exalted idea, of the magnanimity of his soul and the active ingenuity of his mind." From this high character given to Tom Paine and his Age of Reason , young people are induced to find, read, and rely on his works. If a parent wishes to bring his daughters to the brothel, let him give them for perusal Fanny Hill , and Lo Rochester ; if he wishes his sons to be led to the pillory or the gallows, the best so he can take is to put into their hands

Age of Reason. Yet we hope the Enquirer is read mostly by christians; it is certainly read and patronised by some federalists, who however deny their patronage to federal papers. Notwithstanding all these sentiments, we are determined to continue our forbearance towards that paper, till we concisive all hopes of its amendment vain.
Another instance of the union of infidelity and democracy is, that of the different malefactors who have been tried for various crimes in the United States within these six or eight years past, most of those who had any political opinions professed themselves admirers of Mr. Jefferson. Of those men whose characters are injured in the estimation of society by scandalous practices and immoralities, how vast is the proportion who are the loudest declaimers in favor of Mr. Jefferson and the present administration? The Frederick Town Herald very well observes, "If you see a fellow who is discarded from decent society on account of his dishonorable or immoral conduct, you may safely conclude he is a democrat. Such an one expects to curry favor with the people by defaming and abusing the aristocrats, as he calls the most respectable characters of the place. If you see a man who sets up his own opinion in opposition to revealed religion, and with an air of conceited triumph, talks of the holy scriptures as too absurd for belief, you may assuredly set him down as a most bitter jacobin."
The sentiments of infidelity entertained by the present first magistrate of the United States, are too well known to need the introduction of evidence. That he has no belief in the Christian religion, is acknowledged by his friends; and many a democrat have we heard boasting of the contempt in which Mr. Jefferson holds the doctrines of Christianity. But no stronger proof of Mr. Jefferson's irreligion is necessary than the known instances of immorality in his private life, and the numberless instances of immorality in his public deportment. His appointment to office of irreligious characters, in many cases apparently in preference to others, is another evidence.
The continuation of the United States, very wisely exacts no religious test and gives no preference of religious denominations. But ought the people, because the constitution requires no religious profession, to elect to administer that constitution men destitute of religious principles? The absence or profession of any religious belief, are equally under the protection of government; but shall the professors and detectors of religion equally enjoy the estimation and the honors of the people? True it is for acts that men are punishable, but it is for principles as well as acts that men are to be esteemed and honored in society.
This infidelity, which appears to be spreading in the United States, has a tendency, by gradual yet certain operations, to introduce the most unbounded licentiousness of language and manners; to eradicate from the mind every idea of virtue and moral obligation; and eventually to Vandalize society. On children and youth how fatal are its effects! The rising generations, ever imitative of the sentiments and manners of men in the higher walks of life, will soon laugh at a distinction between virtue and vice; ridicule the attributes, the existence of a supreme intelligence; will be taught to believe that the ministers of righteousness are a monopolizing set of hypocritical tradsmen; and the institution of religion becoming the object of scorn and neglect, the social feelings, all the tender charities of life, the consolations and virtues that sweeten, adorn and beautify the path of morality, gradually yield to the dominion of passion, lust, anarchy, bloodshed and ruin.
When society quits its hold on religion, it falls equally from morality. THE ONE CANNOT BE MAINTAINED WITHOUT THE OTHER. This is a truth capable of the most convincing proof. Without a belief in the existence of a deity and the immortality of the soul, morality cannot be maintained. The words of general Washington in his parting address cannot be too often quoted.
"Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports: In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism [perhaps an allusion here to Mr. Jefferson, then candidate for the presidency,] who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of men and of citizens. The mere politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and cherish them. A volume would not trace all their connections with public and private felicity."
And what are the motives that induce the disbelievers of Christianity to wish and to endeavor to effect its overthrow? They cannot be good. No good man of sound understanding wishes to disbelieve revealed religion. If the internal and external evidences do not convince him, such want of conviction is to every honest and every great mind, a subject of the highest regret. Who does not with it true? Who does not look with dread with horror, on annihilation? What is more strongly calculated to deaden exertions to duty and to virtue, to dampen all our prospects, to freeze all our joys, than the un-
that we are "To live in terrors and in pangs expire, Then pass to rot in chaos, or to make Our dreadful transit into blocks or braces?"
From what cruelty, what policy, proceed the assassin-like attempts of infidels to destroy the belief of the immortality of the soul, the operations of a Divine Providence, the tendency of piety to virtue even in this world? Will mankind become more enlightened, more virtuous, more happy, or greater philosophers, by the overthrow of a religion, the doctrines, the precepts, the purifying delights of which, make duty the object of affection; light up a smile, an inextinguishable smile, on the visage of affliction; blunt the thorns of nature; add new colors to the rainbow of life's enjoyments, new perfumes to its violets; lengthen the punions of mortal time; give a savor to the aged, and down to the dying bed; take from death its sting, and from the grave its victory? What then is the heart of that man who wishes to shake the believer's faith, and rob him of his richest treasures? Even were all a dream, none but the base and cruel would wish to wake him. Let those who expect and are satisfied with the prospect of annihilation, hug the fee of their dark affections; but let them not attempt to freeze the warm current of the Christian's hope. If such are contented to bound their prospects with the grave yard, let them not disturb the high and happy hopes of such as love a wider and nobler range.
"Who that from Alpine heights his longing eye Shoots rounds the wide horizon to survey Nilus or Ganges rolling his broad tide Thro' mountains, plains, thro' empires black with shade, And continents of sand; will turn his eye To mark the windings of a scanty rill That murmurs at his feet."
We will conclude for the present by observing, that we have no intention of imputing infidelity generally to the great body of the democrats in the Union; but only with to state our painful but sincere belief, that very many of the most influential democrats are as much opposed to religion as to federal republicanism, and as anxious to destroy the one as the other. We are also sensible that there may be some few federalists who doubt or who disbelieve the doctrines of Christianity; but such disbelief is by them considered a misfortune; they hold religion generally in the highest respect, and give its best interests their best wishes.
Alexandria Daily Advertiser. TUESDAY, MAY 14.
A Liverpool paper of March 18, says — "The average price of Wheat in our market on Saturday, was from 13s. 6d. to 14s. per bushel."
Captain Culver, of the brig Eliza Hamilton, from St. Croix, reports, that previous to his sailing, a vessel from St. Thomas had brought information of the arrival of a vessel there from South America, which had fallen in with the British fleet within three days sail of Jamaica, and the next day with the French fleet, steering the same course.
(New-York Paper.)
Our little squadron, consisting of the John Adams and three gun-boats, will sail for the Mediterranean on Saturday should the weather permit. It gives us pleasure to be able to state, that the experiments which have been tried with the gun-boats prove that they are safe and comfortable sea boats; and in all probability will be adequate to the objects in view in sending them to the Mediterranean. The boats which accompany the John Adams were originally rigged with one mast, placed directly midships. The appearance was novel, and added to the general structure of the boats, created well founded doubts about their utility; their safety was even called in question. In navigating one of the boats to the Hook, it was found that she sailed very well; but, hauled upon a wind, she carried so strong a weather helm that it was impossible to wear her. To remedy this defect the masts of Nos. 6 and 7 were immediately stepped ten feet further forward; and, it is believed, that they will now work as easy as any vessel in port. Lieutenant Maxwell, in bringing No. 5 from Philadelphia, experienced the same defect; accordingly her mast was yesterday stepped further forward. The unfavorable opinion which was lately entertained respecting the boats by almost every officer of the navy, appears now to give way to a more favorable impression; and there is probably not one in this city "afraid to venture across the Atlantic in them." Mr. Maxwell says, he would as soon go in the gun-boat as in the frigate.
The gun boats, we believe, will be manned principally by volunteers from the John Adams, it having been found impossible to enter men for them, owing to the unfavorable opinion which was entertained
them. We have not stated the above boats, but in view of commending the who may entertain doubts of these the brave men who are about to be employed in them. We are perfectly sensible, and the fact cannot be controverted, that vessels better calculated for the defence of our own coast, or the annoyance of an enemy's, might have been built at a much less expence than the gun boats; but since the gun boats have been built, we think it our duty to remove, as far as is consistent with truth, the unfavorable opinions entertained of them.
