upon by tremendous storm Of wind soms
lime sgo, that the tall and cross were forced
toto an horikon,sl position, and presented sn
alarming appearance. Hence srose tho ne.
cessity of taking them down. An intrepid

three cheers, standing upright, quito compos-

PLAIN TRUTH.

EsIFTEEN months have elapsed since the
n commencement of this work. PLAIN
TRUTH has now an extensive Circulation, ana an
established character A "long talk" IS not
necessary, as the design of Plain Truth IS well
known. 1t is intended to unmask frauds and
crimes committed under the cloak OF religion.
The genuine principles OF christianity will be
nculcated in our columns, and the hcenhous
scoffer at revelation, as well as the intolerant
bigot, will be rebuked and eXposed.-We are
not hostile to domestic missions, when proper
ly conducted. But to foreign missions We OBJ
iect in every shape. We shall not stop here
to give all our reasons, as the public are re-
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 a vehicle for
sectaran controversy.
We oppose foreign missions
l. Because they have tendency to impo-
verish our young country.
3. Because they are productive of the most
grinding oppression and fraud upon the poor
and friendless part of the community.
3. Because they are both unscriptural and
anti Americall-nasmuch they produce a
servile imitation in our citizens of the subjects
of the corrupt monarchies of Europe.
| Lastly, and principally. -Because they en-
danger American liberty 1. BY rearing up
and educating swarms Of young men, who
have al interest distinct from the great body
| of the people.-2. BY producing fanatcal,
| intolerant spirit equally at war with the chris
tan religion and evil liberty. 8. BY enabling
arttul, ambitious men, to acquire vast sums of
money, together with moral force unknown
| TO our constitution. 4. BY enabling these
same men to lay the foundation for the estab-
Hshment of AMERICAN HEIRARCAN

COLONIAL JOURNdL.

The deep and increasing interest which is
felt in many parts of this country on the sub
ject of the efforts to colonze the free peo-
pie of color in the United States, on the Af-

gers of the Colonization Society, to propose
the establishment of periodical work, which

ton concerning the plans and prospects Of
their Institution giving minute account Of
its operations, and Of the condition and pro-
gress of the Celeny; communicate any new
and interesting intelligence which may be
received, relating to the geography, natural
history, manners and customs of Africa and
admit into its pages such ESSAYS as may be
thought calculated to advance the interests Of
the Colony, Or the cause of African improve
ment, as well as select passages from authors
who have already written on this subject !;
and important extracts from the Reports of
such foreign Associations as are making ex-
ertions to suppress the slave trade, or relieve
the African race.
CONDITIONS.

number, and shall be similar in paper and the
style of execution, to the Christian Observer.
2. The price shall be two dollars year,
payable on delivery of the sixth number.
3. Those who shall become responsible for
six copies, shall receive a seventh gratis.

FOURTH OF JULY,

FOURTH OF JULY.
We have no disposition to undervalue
an orderly and decent commemoration
OF the day on which took place the act
OF casting fro~> ear natias.'e noel. the
yoke Of thraldom. We are fearful, how
ever, that these celebrations are be-
coming rather bacchanalian; and that
amidst the festivities which they call
forth, there is not always that serious and
patriotic remembrance of the occasion
which is calculated to perpetuale its
blessings. When half a dozen glasses
OF Madeirs have been comfortably INCUR
gitated, mans brain most commonly
begins to be little misty; insomuch,
that The year l776 is very rarely percep-
tible through so foggy medium. or

OF toasts. A FIRST il is i" the day we &C.
lebrate anon come i" the heroes OF the

attained its level, and commences goins

food, likewise begin TO grow valorous
and pugnscious. Then We hear of brave
ry and chiva'ry, and conquests, and blood
and thunder! The" army and the navy"
bayone's, powder and all, are gulp-
ed down together-and our enemies -
perchance, are atthe next moment vomlt-
ed forth in utter ignominy Finally, the
more rebellious passions become pros
trate, the uproar sinks beneath the table,
and the last effort subsidies into a senli-
Ment in honor of" the fair SEX"
Tire newspa pers from all quarters are
gro" ded with insignificant details ofthese
public junketings-as though it were
popular debau merry, and not national vir-
tue, on which we must rely for the main
tenance Of our Independence. Some OF
the Boston papers are literally crammed
with odes, and prayers, and orations, and
professions, and foasts. About 100 OF
the latter were counted in single paper f,
Among which, our eve glanced acciden-
tally upon this !: "Republicans and Fee
deralists--May they unite in one general
cause, in support of Government, Reli-
gion, and Laws" This is probably an

THE POOL OF BETHESDA.

BIZ BERsARp1BAnroN.
Around Bethesda's healing wave,
Waiting to hear the rustling wing,
Which spoke the angel nigh who gave
Its virtue tn thae holy spring,
WIN patience and with hope endued
Were seen the gathered multitude.
Among them there was one, whose eye
Had often seen the waters stirred;
Whose heart had often heav'd the sigh
The bitter sigh of hope deferred!
Beholding, while he suffered on,
The healing virtue greenland gone!
No power had he; no friendly aid
To him its timely succor brought;
But while his coming he delay'd,
Another won the boon he sought;
Until the Saviour's love WAS shown,
Which heal'd him by word alone.
Had they who watched and waited there,
Been conscious who was passing by,
With what unceasng, anxious care,
Would they have sought his plying eye;
And crav'd with fervency of soul,
His Power Divine to make them whole!
But habit and tradition sway'd
Their minds to trust to sense alone;
They only hoped the Angels aid
While in their presence, stood, unknown,
A greater, mighter far than he,
With power from every pain to free.
Bethesda's pool has lost its power
No Angel, by his glad descent,
Dispenses that diviner power
With which his healing waters went.
But he, whose word supposed its wave,
Is all omnipotent to save.
And what the fountain once was found,
Religions outward forms remain
With living virtue only crown'd.
While their first freshness they retain;
Only replete with power to cure,
When Spirit-stirred, their source is pure!
Yet are there who this truth confess,
Who know how little forms avail;
Bat whose protracted helplessness
Confirms the impoteni's sad tale;
Who, day by day, and year by year,
As emblems of his lot appear.
They hear the sounds of life and love,
Which tell the visitant is nigh;
They see the troubled waters move,
Whose touch alone might health supply;
But weak of faith, infrm of will,
Are powerless, helpless, hopeless, still.
Saviour! thy love is still the same
AS when the healing word was spoke;
still in thine ali-redeeming name
Dwells power to burst the strongest yoke
Oh! be that power, that love displayed,
Help those whom Thou alone canst aid.
