On the second day of this week Mr.. Ba-

mit,ee of claims SHOULD enquire into the
expediency of suspending or altering the
different acts of limitation. The resolution
was carried but nothing will be done.--
Friend Lewis, Congress hatk done, and

Clothed with authority and placed in seats

relieve not TIL sorrows Of the widow, by
paving the hard earned wages due to her
deceased husband, and the adder's ears are
theirs when the orphan crieth for that bread

Tor NC are his workmanship, created anezu
~ Chris, Jesus unto good O,ks, which God
hath before ordained that zre should zYaH IN
them"
ALL. real christians are the workman
ship Of God the spirit. They are created
anew in Christ Jesus, and it is likewise or
dained of God that they maintain good
works without which they cannot have
evidence from the word of God that they
are his. How necessary then that oil who
profess the name of Christ should walk &C
cording to the rules laid down in the word
Of God, that they may have the witness Of
the spirit, and enjoy that peace of mind
which is the reward of keeping the COM
mandments. Jesus Christ, the great head
Of The church, often takes 8 survey OF the
churches, and Of the individuals who COM
pose his body, taking particular notice Of
the conduct and behaviour ofcvery member.
This consideration should be q motiye to
every professor to abound Ia good works, as
that is the only way they can please him,
obtain evidence to themselves, or make 1t
evident 10 others that they are real 4 sound
in what they profess. Though some may
conduct so well, and their outward deport-
menl be 50 unblameable IS 70 gain the
christian charity Of Others while they are
destitute Of that faith which purifies the
heart, yet none can possess saving faith,
which is wrought by the special operation
OF the spirit OF God, without its producing
works This point il important, and ought
to be well understood at the present day,
when there are SO many antlnomian profess
sors, who do indeed make show of rehg-
ion, and by good words aud fair speeches
deceive the hearts Of the simple. The re-
lIgion of time-scrvers is but hypocrisy, and
is often made cloak for the West practices.
If we fad in ourselves the least disposition
10 conform to the world in our walk or
spirit, we should Immediately take the al
arm, and never think to make our religion
bend 10 the world IN The smallest degree,
or 10 the natural dispositions OF the heart
which are wholly opposed 10 God and his
holy law: Such temporising conduct il
sure mark of hYpocri.c, o.: which we ought
TO beware, Remembering that tie eye "

While projects Of blood BY her false friends
are founded.
The clarion Of fate in low mutaurs il SCUM

And frequent its harbingers shine on The

IT'S the dear land Of freedom, The dwelling
Of pleasure
The pure blood of patriots hallows its

Fair science has crown'd il and bliss with
out measure
And curs'd be the bastard, who more loves
his treasure,
Or more loves the warm blood, that flows
in his veins.
Let them still remember, whose laws bind
the nation,
Our hearts are the bold daring hearts Of
our sires
For our rights on the maine, and our coun-
Try SslvatlOn,
Well brave all the storms and the deaths Of
creation,
But fight for no tyrant, till heavens lamp

With terrors then stamp the stsr'd flag we
sail under
Be justice the helm with proud honos 10

Let the lawless mar4uders, who seek you
for plumber,
BE hsiid BY your brave tars in voices Of

And laugh, 70 respect you, Or swept from
