Philadelphia and Virginia, which lately
met IN Philadelphia, have resolved t.

In no, State in the Union have the people

than in tha, OF Rhsde Island. So late ss las,
Augu = the persons then voted for as repre-.
sehta,ives to congress, fully aware of the
high sense Of III - pt oba,ion manifested by tho

unpreccdented, and in its nature extssvagsu<
and unreasonable. These persons fully aware
of the premises, headed their prox with "sep-
posers of high ssllarios," and yet q, this very

dollars. No doubt they may make merit
Of limiting their Ave hundred dollars per
month, to this session ! but who does not
know this game may be acted over at every
session. To render this &C, less odious the
speech Of Wrigh, is 60, up in pamphlet form,

cet tax, the iiceoce tex, and du,y on notes st

could he offered, Is moekery to the people !
a speech less remarkable for its leogth, than
its monstrous egotism, in which the great
recurs no less than sixty eight times, and
who says, ne advised thoso Who voted a.
gainst the bill, no, to receive the monet, lest
il might suojs sc, them to the unkiod remark,
that the receiver was as bad as the thiet."

There is duty we always owe 10 our
absent friends-that Of defending their rep
atation--whieh reqaires some courage ;
and which, of all other duties, we are most
apt 10 neglect. In the midst OF The plea
sure afforded US by merrimeht at, the ex-
pense of others, or of our silence while
they are tradSeed, we forget that The weigh,
of our characters, be it greater or less, is
operating most injuriuusly against them.
Few men can bear neglect-still fewer

edfriend DC silent while you were the Sub
Ject of SANDER, you would dislrust his sin.

icele you, he would be discarded entirely
from your confidence.
How stands the case with Us, then, in
relation 10 religion and 10 God ? Can we
fairly expect him to forgive offences in u,
which we are all agreed not 10 tolerate in
each otherp Perhaps no man would
choose TO be considered the enemy of IIea-

persed Have we courage TO endure con
tempt for its sake ?--or 10 frown at the
hrofane relation Of good story? Dare we
be accounted religious where religion is
questionable Iftruth should compel US
to answer :" no." with what face can we
pretend TO be the friends of God and the
advocates of his cause? Heaven spurns at
such hypocricy and the coming day will
declare it," He that oyercomelh shall in
