DEAN GENERAL
I t. st that you will excuse me for trou.
bling you on this occasion, but considered
that YOU might be ignorant Of the crcumstan
ces am about to mention, and perhaps they
may be somewhat important.
General Jackson, during his late visit to
this place, was at some trouble to cause to
be widely distributed his correspondence
with you He left with gentleman (late
Lieutenant Colonel in the atmy,) a copy
s;,y ofthe anonymous letter, his letter TO you,
your reply, and his reioinder, all ccrtificdby
his a. ID. G.. This late Lieutenant Colon,
has even, in conversation, proposed. that it
should be published but Lave understood
that General Jackson was sverse from this
but had no objection that it should be circu-
lated in NJ. S.
This transaction, perhaps, makes no i'm.
preston on YOU friends, which is at all dis.
advantage, us but I, in common with 9TH, rs,
have conceived, that it IS ma eyoemt in IT.
tentiOn, aud tiat Tao efforts Ofniany here vii
be cNcrted TO sup ort eyous spirit.
II Du arc not already irfofme OF this, some
advantage may be reaped from know ing, that
all this has been done viii, feelings and in
tentions tull of amnesty towards you.
i hope, that you will excuse any thing
which may appear intermcddlng or ioiv ard,
as no orc, dear General, can be more devotl

ESSENTIALS IN RELIGION.

All persons, not pledged TO bigotry, will
without doubt, fully assent to the follow
ing sentiments Of the venerable and truly
excellent christian and minister, DIR.
Lathrop Of West-SpriDgGeld.
Springfield Pat.
The gospel is discovery ofsalvation
as purchased by, aud attainable through
a divinely appointed Redeemer. If We
reject this discovery, we reject the very
marrow, the essence of the gospel ; and
with 10 propriety can we call ourselves
Christians. Accordingly we find that
they, who in the apostles times joined
themselves to the Church were required
10 profess that Jesus was the Christ and
that G cd raised him from the dead. They
who denied that Jesus was come in the
flesh, were called antichristS; but all who
in every place called on the name o
Jesus Christ were considered as belong.
iGg to his church. Aud where Chris
tians appeared to be well united to thi:
grand and leading point, the apostles adj
vised them to great condescention aud ten.
derness 10 differences of smaller import
ance. e,have no right TO exclude any
christian or society of christians from ouI
charity and communion, for supposed er.
rors, as long as those errors appear moi
to respect the foundation on which the
church stands. If We reject another for
an error which We suppose not to be es.
sentisl, we reject him whom yet, We be-
lieve God has received, and thus exaIi
ourselves above God. And if We make
those things fundamental in religion which
the gospel has not made SO, we then at
tempt to lay other foundations beside
that which God has laid, presumptuously
intruding into bis place. Let no man,
therefore, Judge or set at maught has
brother, for ne mast all stand before Tho
alignment seat Of Christ"

THE MISSIONARIES FAREWELL.


The spires receding are lost in the sky;
Fair blows the wind from the fast fading shore,
While affection looks back, andrepeats with sigh
Farewell to the land I shall visit no morep
Dear land ofmy birth, where united in one,
Religion and science no Vandal shall sever
Where truth shall surpass the bright beams Of the
sun;
Abode Of my infancy-farewell for eyer;-
No more my fond view DER your landscape shall run
To savage and far distant regions HE;
Scenes that shall rise no conjecture can tell;
But toll and perplexities crowd on the eye;
Farewell soft ndulgence-for ever farewell
Submission shall ward offthe shafts of despair,
And pity excite all the faculties given;
The heart shall not shuu the embraces of care;
For respite from labor has fed into heaven,
And me- er shall be sought till inherited there.

AUTUMN.

SIZE moves with melancholy gait;
Grief dwells upon her brow,
No laughing graces on her watt
Nor love with ardent vow.
The grape with leaves as gold entwin'd,
Waves DER her forehead fair;
Her mantle courted by the wind,
Displays her bosom bare.
r greet thee maid with fearful eye!
Conceded away my soul,
From pride and thoushtless levity,
From fashions vain control.
Thou show'st how soon the sweets are fled
OF Summers brightest bloom;
Her glories lie beneath thy tread,
Thy mansion is her tomb.
But while her transient date mourn;
see thee far away,
BY northern blasts, thy robes are torn,
Thyself stern winters prey.
Thou child of dust-thus short thy space,
Pale sickness will intrude,
Tho unperceived-time steals apace
And death demands his food.
Then strew with VISIONS seeds the soil,
And practice heavenly love,
So harvest shall repay thy toll.
When life's young spring is DER.

Parents will recollect that 10 order tc

must carefully manifest their love TO their

to speak the truth at all times, the parent

Children are reminded, that if they
