EBtJAIkf, lOs
Well, my Dear 10, the Legislature has at
length risen, the busy stir is over, and in the glo-
rious spirit of our constitution, those who were
lately dressed in a little brief authority, have
gone back to the mass Of the people, from which
they arose, TO give an account of the good and
evil Of their six weeks political existence. The
last act of this drama was the affair Of Rogers,
which produced considerable excitement, and
in which, perhaps, the Legislature did not de-
mean itself with that justice and dignity, which
might have been expected on such subject.
Rogers was probably guilty but the theory and
practice of our government IS, that no man shall
be condemned unheard. In the present case,
although the committee had reported 70 refer the
subject, upon the strength of which Rogers had
returned home, and although he was not prepar-
cd with single piece of evidence, and on the
last day Of the session, he forced to defence,
which, as might be expected, was Intellectual.
In this single case, much evil may not have
arisen but the precedent is dangerous times
of political excitement may arrive, when great
injustice may be attempted, by party, TO b.

bigot, will be rebuked and exposed. We are
not hostile to domestic missions, when proper

ferred to the work itself. We have subscri.
bers of every sect in the nation and we here
renew our solemn pledge to the public that
Plain Truth shall never become vehicle for
sectarian controversy.
We oppose foreign missions
I. Because they have tendency to impos
verish our young country.
3, Because they are productive Of the most
grinding oppression and fraud upon the poor
and fricndess part of the community.
8. Because they are both unscriptural and
anti American-nasmuch as they produce .
servile imitation in our citizens of the subjects
of the corrupt monarchies of Europe.
Lastly, and principally they en-
danger American liberty /. BY rearing up
and educating swarms Of young men, who
have All interest distinct from the great body
of the people.-2. BY producing fanatical
intolerant spirit equally at war with the chris

ishment of an AMERICAN HIERARCHY.

SPECIMEN OF WEIGH PREACHING.


The following specimen of WEIGH preaching
has formerly been published in several pa
pers; but its merits are such as to render a
compliance with request for its publication
at this time, proper. Family Eisitor.
At meeting of ministers at Bristol,
che Rev. Mr.. Lowell invited several of
his brethren to sup with him; among
them was the minister officiating at the
WEIGH meeting in that city; he was an
entire stranger to all the company, and
silently attentive to the general CONVEX
cation of his brethren. The subject on
which they we're discoursing was the diff
ferent strains Of public preaching: when
several had given their opinion, and had
mentioned some individuals as good
preachers, and such as we're models as

turned to the WEIGH stranger and soli-
cited his opinion. He said he felt it a
Privilege to be silent when such men
were talking; bu, that he also felt it his
duty to comply with this request. But
said he, if must give an opinion, l
should say, ye have no good preachers
