some political purpose; perhaps the mo,,
which actuated him, were even ;lpre selSr
and base than this. There are mapv n;sl
and discerning men, among those christian
whose prejudices are intended to be eyc;,sS,
They will listen to the whisper Of caut;o.
They will themselves perceive the maeyols,y
design with which these insinuations are mad.
We should not write in the language we mn
use, did we suppose the writer laboured ,nds,
error through want Of information, or if y.
could think he really viewed the subject i

us to suppose.
The charge against the institution at Ando.
yer in The first number, is repeated with nn.
confidence, in the second. They who do M
smile at its absurdity, will feel Indignant i
its righteousness. Men living remote son
the institution, and in no manner conneckd
with it, are suspected of being so much in6u.
enced by it, as to do an act of supposed A.
grant injustice, and of no benefit TO the inst.
tuition. This was the removal of the Pre-.
dent of Dartmouth College from that Office. :
| One who was most active in efIectng his dn
mission was republican, high in credit viii
his party and of religious principles drecdy
opposite to those Of the institution. Hen
then was no design. II was not for religion
opinions. 1t was not for political sentiments.
His most strenuous supporters were federalis,s
of the FIRST character in New-Hampshire and
| Vermont. The pubic too have approved Of
their proceedings They have been pleased
with the change. An uDusua ly large class wa,
entered the last year; showing decisiyely the
satisfaction which parents have felt in the e..
change Of Presidents.
Our federal legislature, instead Of applying
the peoples money to the support Of the lnsli.
tuition at Andover, have even refused 10 a..
thorise them to receive further donations iron
individuals This is quite different thik
from what the federalists are charged viii
doing. This, il seems, should quiet the fess
of those who suppose the federal party an
exclusively attached to the Interests Of one 4.
nomination.
No sect of christians can be condemned Il

complaint Of Methodists or Baptists. tn

NEXT PRESIDENT.

Some democrats have run away with the
wild notion that the federalists are in favor
OF Mr.. Crawford as the successor of MIR.
Madison. AS far as our knowledge ex
tends, this idea is altogether erroneous and
fallacious Even in the democratic ranks
there are several individuals, who would be
every way preferable to Mr.. Crawford. In.
deed, 1t is a moot point whether, as a party,
we ought not TO wish MIR. Monroe success
in preference to any other man the demo-
Gratis could name, upon the same principle,
that Mr.. Giles preferred John Adams to
Gen Pinckney. If the latter gentlemen
got in' he thought he would keep himself
in, whereas Mr.. Adams would soon "ge,
things 10 skies and seyens," and turn him
self out-Eeb Reh

The writer Of the (" Baptist in the Argus,
accuses denomination for some cause. ex-
lremely odious TO him, OF violating the law of
love, in denying to certain sects, their Just
privileges. lie has strangely forgotten to APP
ply to himself the rule by which he tries and
condemns others. Refrain from these men
and let them alone" This is his motto. II
instead Of attacking with such acrmony large
class Of christians, he had contormed to the
wise advice of Gamaliel, he would have acted
more consistently with his own views of reli-
gious federation, and he would not have expo
sed himself as he has now done, to the very
charge, which he prefers against others. True
toie<atlon consists as much in abstaning from
caltimny and misrepresentation, as in granting
religious liberty to all by law. Ii is OF little
advantage to have claim TO legal protection,
when we are assailcd with fa!sehood and SIAN
der. The writer Of the Baptist should have
asked himself, whilst inveighing against the
objects OF his hatred, in the words OF his text,
= am not fighting against Cod? The ques
ton seriously put would have checked his
presumption. he would have written with
more caution and reverence. He would have
feared that the men he reyiled, might be the
acceptable servants of God He would have
doubted il the very Institutions he condemn
cd were not approved and blest by JEHOVAH.
+" 1t is fearful thing to fail into the hands of
the living God" Should the conduct of the
writer OF the Baptist be tried by his own words,
we fear ne might be addressed in this Ian
guage -" Out of thine own mouth will con-
denim thee, thou hypocrite." 1t is not our
object to convince the author of this abuse.
His opinions are too unreasonable to be reiu-
ted by argument. We are suspicious, too,
(perhaps we are uncharitable here) that the
sentiments he expresses ale not his own; that
he writes without regard to truth, and for
