FRIEND SAMUEL,
have for long time FELT a burthen al
most too mighty to be borne---a certain man
cal~ IN at my door continually for tribute mo-
ney, because of my unwillingness to learn tic
art of destroying mankind. ---Thou knowest
delight net i'll the death Of . sinner, no more
than Ia the loss CT my worldly goods---vsrily
my wrath hath waxed hot when he hath enter
ed my house, and hath taken away my goods
to pay the tribute withal; ] am willing to
render unto Cesar the things that are
C;esar's, but my goods bear not his image or
supcrscription.---I have borne it yea, and with
many sorrows, for thereby have lost the
things after which my heart doth yearn. /
have seen the manner that the men OF war as
semble themselves together, to be trained tor
deeds Of mighty SLAUGHTERED passed the outs
er parts of the town last 7th day, when Saw
ard bcheid all the mighty men, and such as
draw the sword were drawn UP in battle array,
when understood it Was training, stood
afar off to see what would be done, / beheid,
and 10 the Chief Captains were riding to and
fro iii the presence of the Host,> coEamuning
with ore another then | understood they
were in great strait to find out whether the
men should hold their guns to the hip or to
the knee; howbclt to end the strife they agreed
to fold it in their arms. During this time,
the horscmen approached nigh unto me and
caused their horses to leap over ! little ditch,
to the great danger Of lhosc who Sat thereon.
This very believe to be a way Of destroying
mankind, as the necks of the riders were in
great d4nger---of those things Know not, see
ing am man Of peace.
i nave read in book the decree which call
eth tic men forth into TIE field, which saith
they are to be equipped agreeable to law
Now as a great May were without either
sword or shield, or other war,ike instrument,
I. it appcareth unto me that they were equipped
20 Gee from before the face of their enemies,
agreeable to laW---tlc same writing decrees
that the captains should be trained 3 days lii
each vear---i,owbeit they assemble and COM
mune together, and say among themselves, go
to let us depart unto our own homes, and who
Shall say unto Us, why dcst thou not comply
with the laws of the land !---NeHcrtheiess,
when they assemble at the council they exact
OF all other trans;,ressors to the utmost Iar-
thing

The following paragraph is extracted from
an ess v in the Democratic Press, on the sub

bia
6, That dogs laboring under this disease
may be avoided, Shall first notice some OF
the characteristic marks OF the complaint IS
they succcssively appear IN that animal
When dog is affected with madness, he be-
comes dull, solitary, and endearors to hide
himself; seldom barking, but hacking lnur.
muring noise and refusing all kinds of meat
and drink. lie flies at Strangers, but in this
stage, he remembers and respects his master;
his head and tail hang down; he walks as II
overpowered with sleep; and bite &C
this period, though dangerous, is not SO apt
to bring on the disease i'll the animal bitten,
as one inflicted at a later period. The dog at
length begins to pant; he oreathcs quickly
and heavily his tongue hangs oG:; his mouth
i, continually open, aud he discharges large
quantity OF iroth Sometimes he walks slow.
" as if ha!e asleep, and then runs suddenly,
but not always directly forward. At last ne
forgets his master; his eyes have dull, Wa.
terry, red appearance he grows thin s. weak;
often falls down, gets up, and attempts to ny
at every thiag, becoming very soon quite iu'
rious. The animal seldom lives III this Latter
state longer than thirty hours, and, 1t Is said'
the >ites towards the end Of his existence are
the most dangerous. 1t is singular fact, that
though the hydrophobia may be ccnnunicat'
ed 70 the human subject by the bites OF @nl-
mails not Of the caiine species; yet it docs not
appear that the bite of person affected, can
the disease to another; at least
the records of medicine furnish no proof OF
this circun stance"

ture nor can they at once become sfinners
and weavers. The calling unto which they
were educated, and to which they have been
accustomed from childhood, il the only calling
they can follow to advantage and this is ta-
ken out of their hands. Poverty and want
stare them in the face. !" Ind TO beg they;are
sshamed" Most of them had been used to a
plentiful living, and MANY of them had been
bred up in afiucnce. Can they at once stoop
to the supplicsting language or to the mental
services of beggary! Can they cringe at the
gate of lordly wealth for a morsel of bread |!
Desperate in circumstances and lofty in spirit,
can it be expected that they, generally, will
demean themselves as quiet honest citizens
This is expecting of fallen human nature too
much. See thousands and scores OF thous-
ands of insolvents, who had seen better days,
had been used to competency, and many OF
them to genteel living. See hundreds upon
hundreds of young men, educated to trade,
possest of keen sensibility- and fired with am.
bition; now out of employment, and idle from
necessity, When there are such multitudes
thrown out of their proper business, such null
titudes impoverished, such multitudes di.ap-
pointed of all their worldly hopes, can it be
expected but that many of them will use des-
perate means to make or mend their fortunes!
If !" oppression maketh a wise man mad,"
much more will it madden those who have
more pride than wisdom.
Our laws with respect 10 commerce have
been as unstable and fluctuating, as they be
unequal and oppressive. Shifts and expedi-
cnts have taken place of that steady digniGed
course which was pursued in better days.
Laws are made, altered, abrogated, and then,
under other titles, new made in the short time
of few months One while our ad.ninistra.
ton pursues this track, another while that |;
now it is lawful to send vessels abroad, then
again, before they have time to return, they
are caught in the net Of government, and coll
demned in treble cost And will not thesshiits
and expedients Of the government naturally
learn the governed to employ shifts and expe-
dients on their part! Do they not powerfully
tend to perjury, fraud, and every art Of eva
sion; and, in the words of Macbiayel, I" TO
corrnltt the mass, and bring all into disorder"
By these means the body polite is in direct
way to become morbid in all its parts, or I'd

In this view of the subject the heart of e.
very honest American beats With indignation
against his bosom while reading that clause OF
the Message which speaks with hious abhor-
renee concerning the " epasions and ATTRACTIONS
Of our commercial !aws.' Under the old or
der of things though the burden upon trade
was very htavy, no body of merchants upon
earth were less guilty OF smuggling than ours.
Who have taught the merchants to spuggie,
by their expressions, and the body of the pco-
pie political knavery, by their examples Not
one of our rulers (prejudice aside) Can be at
loss for the answer.
