When men are determined, at all
events, to hunt down religious charac-
tiers, they are never at loss to find
plausible objections to justify their dis
like; and while they conceal, even
from themselves, the real motive of
their aversion, the vigilance with which
they pry into the characters of those
who are reckoned pious, is exercised
with the secret hope of finding faults
enough to confirm their prejudices-

We see SO many new things in our
day, that we think the safest way is to
be astonished at nothing. A number of
young menin Cross Creek, Washington
County, Pennsylvania, amounting to one
hundred, have come to sundry resolu-
tiOns, amongst which is the following -
awe viii, in paying our addresses to the
young ladies, give the most marked preference
to such as clothe themselves in homespun, and
make use of articles the growth. Of our own
country.n
If the ladies will row only follow this
precedent, and agree tnat, in accepting
the addresses of young gentlemen, they
will give, the most marked preference to
such as clothe themselves in homespun,
and make use of articles the growth Of
our own country, it will supersede the
necessity of imposing any other tariff by
the authority of Congress We may
then expect that proper encourage

The imprudence, the want of iudg-
ment, and, above all, the homogeneous
mixtures and inconsistencies in many
characters who are reckoued religious,
are i'll calculated to do away the unfa-
vourable opinions of men of an opposite
way of thinking. Religions men should
be the more cautious of giving occasion
for reproach, as they know the world is
always on the watch, and is more glad to
have its prejudices confirmed than re-
moved.
