The foregoing certificate proves Beyond
). all controversy, the abfohte and wilful
falihood of DaYid's remarks. 1t is not
however to be wondered a., that David
ihould be detected in talii.ood, when il is
conidercd that he has ever been from his
cradle, one Of the mott abandoned of the
human race. For this reafon, his ap-
pointment to the Office of Collector for
the Fort of MiddI-town, was oppolea by
Mr.. Tracy in the fenatc of the United
States. In confequence of this, he has
come forward againa MIR. Tracy with all
the ferocity his nature affords. He has
ever been the avowed enemy OF religion
and It's votaries, and scontinuesto uie the
whole force. of lis talents TO render it con-
tcmp,iblc. Not many years tince he OPEN
" declared, that he hoped the days were
fat approachii'., when the marriage
covenant would be let ahde, that men.
might have their wives in common. Such
is the man who now attempts to dc.troy
the influence Of oae ofthe mott amiabe
and enlightened citizen. Of New-England.
