OF all the evils which in modern
times hare been let loole on civil fociety,
none have been attended with more fatal
consequences than religious lcepticifrn. So
ftrong is the propen6ty to vice in the hu-
man mind, and 70 dependent is the moral
fyRem of the facred fcriptures on its doc
trincs, that if you deRroy the belief Of the
latter; you weaken conviction OF tie OBJ
legation of the former. The exploded
doctrines of revelation, Rejecting the be-
ing, perfection and moral governments Of
God, the character, work and Offices Of
the Mediator, future fate, and ludg
mcnt to come, are the pillars on whieh
reR the precepts Of l9isg Jglaly, loviae mer-
ty, ard qyalSmg bEmbJ with Ged-1
ju6miffing to the powers fbat be, and a.
inc TO alters as ne zuauld t6.y ,t8eu]a d5

The certain confequence Of DENYING the
authenticity of rhe Scriptures, is plunging
into doubts of our future fate and dettins
ton. And the progreis from doubt TO
confirmed in6delity is eafy and natural.
The frf deifs contenied themielves with
denying Divine Revelation. They own
ed aud even complimented the practical
precepts of Chriaianity. Their followers,
the modern philosophers, as they affect TO
be called, have proceeded farther. With
them, there is no juitice but that which
conhas 10 conformity to the civil law,
which they Unfit ought to beivery "a ora
bic to the vicions and immoral no terror
to the workers Of iniquity, but civil penal
'y no future fate; no judgment 10 come;
no death, bur an eternal ileep; faally, no
God, and coufequently 10 Providence
The moral consequences OF this iniquitous
iyaem of fcepticiim, has been fully realiz-
ed ia France, under what is called the
reign of Robelpiesre, but which was in
tact the reign of the united inlidel philofo-
piers of that country.
The government ofno nation has ever
been 70 completely inthc hands OF infidels
as that of France, during the period alrea-
sy alluded to and of courie, murders,
eruelties and robberies have no where been
70 numerous. But in every country, in
proportion as want of religious ientimenr
prevails, juf in that.proPorsion proAigacy
OF manners have been triumphant. In no

Of the Senate.
PsSol0ea, That the President of the u.
S tayes be requested to cause to be laid be-

have been received relative to the violation
81 the flag Of the United States, or to the
1npressment Of any ssanen, in the service
q tie United States by the agents of any
foreign pation.
On this occasion DR.. L. observed, that
whilst we were taking measures to protect
the citizens Of The United States, in their
territorial rights, we should not neglect
their maritime rights, to the most perfect
freedom of navigating the common ocean
with SAFETY. The DIR. referred to the mes
sage of the President, delivered to Con-
gress at the. commencement of the present
session, IN which he calls the attention Of
Congress to this important subject. To
exact from every nation the observance. to-
wards our vessels and citizens; Of those
principles and practices, which all civilized
people acknowledge; to merit the charac-
ter ola Just nation, and maintain that of an
independents one, preferring every oonse-
quence to insult and habitual wrong. Con-
gress will consider whether the existing
laws en- bic us eficaciously to maintain this
course with our citizens in all places, and
with others, while within the limits OF our
jurisdiction and will give them the modi-
fcations necessary for these objects, Some
.contraventions of right have already taken
place both within our jurisdictional limits,
and on the high seas"

S O N N f T,
TO A DRIPPING Puppy.

Lone Poppy fow'r! why droop more dear thon
art,
Than the fWeet, blooming tribe which round
thee grows
The Wr-tch's friend - the cheerer Of his heart
YIELDS not the palm, to rivals fnch as thief. !!
What tho, their odopr fafioales the croud,
Whole footAeps rude, would cruh thee to the
ground
Before heir urine, had the fck hearted how'd,
Would they from pain, The hightef reipite
found
WbilA thou csnA cafe, an happy eaf. Gilrence,
charm batarnic, cordial all thy Own,
That lights Tie mind, thar fooths the aching
ftnfe,
When even Hope, The nurfe Of life, has flown );
Can bitter thought, corroding tbought controul,
And Iull awhile the tempea Of tie foul.
MIRA.
