ALL RELIGIONS.
FROM HENEDICT.

FROM BENEDICT
The Independents contemplate with
delight the great plainness and SIM
pIicity of their ecclesiastical regimen,
the unwearied assiduity of their mi
nisters. and substantial piety of their
community; they have also their
Owen and How, their Watts and
Doddridge.
The Congregationalists dwell with
delight on the piety and eminence of
their forefathers, their flourishing
colleges and seminaries, the learning
of their ministry, and the religious
intelligence of their community.
The Babtists have their Gill and
Gale, their scripture mode and great
increase.
The Methodists delight to dwell
upon the names of Wesley and AS
bury, and to describe the ardent zeal,
and growing numbers of their COM
munity.
The Moravians have their Hern-
hut and their Zinzendorf, their pa
thence and perseverance. their mis-
sionary zeal and their success.
The Quakers dwell with satisfac-
tinn upon the names of Fox, Bar.
clay. and Penn; upon their plainness
ofspeech and dress; their adherence
of war and bloodshed, and upon the
opposition they have met with from
the world, and the inflexible integri-
ty of their members.
The Universalists delight to expa.
tiate on their extended views of God,
and the rapid spread of their opinions.
The New Jerusalem church has
its Swedenborg and its celestial mys-
teries, their important discoveries in
theology, and their intimate acqnain-
lance with the invisible world.
And the Millennial church has its
mother Ann and the new dispense
ton, its virgin life and its cross bear
ing religion.
Other denominations pity the ig-
n0rance and the idolatrous supersti-
ton of the Roman Catholics; while
they In return look with compassion
and disgust on the heresies Il schisms,
the strifes and divisions among the
different parties of Protestants. A
Protestant thinks with horror on ac-
knowledging the Pope as the head OF
the church; on the other hand a Ro.
man Catholic said to the author-We
indeed are Episcopalians, but we do
not wish to be associated with the
parliamentary church of England,
with her worldly head, and her se>
cularised hierarchy.
Other denominations pity the cold
inconyenient submersion of the Dab.
fists; while the Babtists ia their turn
censure and reject what they COAST
der the insufficient modes of others,
The Methodist cannot endure the
cold, heartless, and unaffected reli-
gion of their neighbors; while Others
as severely blame the irregular and
Incorporate saliies OF their zeal.
The Quakers condemn with great
severity the pomp and parade, the
fashions and ceremonies of the rest
Of the world; while the plainDess and
preciseness, the stiff and unbending
adherence to their own peculiar forms
and opinions, are equally offensive
to other denominations.

joined with the liberty TAKEN and we willingly rem

Our little friend, with miraculous sagacity, has

is the facts Mr.. Peasants has been out of town Sc

NEW JERSEY OYSTER GROUNDS.

We lately mentioned that plan was in contem-
platen for rendering the lands covered with salt
water in New Jersey, suitable for the cultivation oil
Oysters, and thus rendering them productive to the
state.-Ths is proposed TO be accomplished by
chartering as many companies may apply, and
lease to each company not less than 1000 acres, to
be located and designated by metes and bounds, for
the tern oil so years, at certain rent per acre,
commence at the expiration Of three years after the
location, as it would require that time, before they
could realise any income from transpanting them.
II is sad that there now six companies, ready to
apply for charters the legislature shall con.
vene, who will each take 1000 acres for the above
term at $4,000 per year, which would bring into the
treasury $4,000 per annum. AS the state Of New
Jersey seldom raises by tax, more than $4,000, ii
will require but 10 OF these companies to relieve it
entirely from the burthen of taxes and as there
are belonging to the state, from so to 10000 acres
of these lands, not many years would elapse before
the whole of them would be occupied, and produce
to the state a muniicent revenue. On this plan
OF charterlng large companies. almos. every man in
the state might, ii he could raise the means, become
a stakeholder, and participate in the emolumens oil
the enterprise. Nor would the benefits to be derived
from these companies be confined to New Jersey.
They would insure to this city an abundant supply
of excellent oysters, and at price considerably
below what is now charged for them.

From the Albany Daily Adrertiser.
WILLIAM II. CRAWFORD,

The 9th section OF the LIST article of the conslilu
ton of the United States provides that no money
shall be dra,rn from the treasury, but IN conss
quence Of appropriations made By law." 1t hes
been satisfactorily prored that this provision ha,
been violated by the secretary of the treasury, in
loaning large sums of the public money to state
banks, wthou, any legal authority, and in direct VIC,
lation OF this constitutional restraint. Now il
certain that he either did or did not know of the
existence of this clause. In the latter event. he
disqualified for the station he occupies, and in the
former he is unfit for that to which he aspires,
1t is correct remark that bad servant never
makes good master. And if Mr.. Crawford, when
only secretary of the treasury, boldly riolateS the
provisions OF the constitution is not to be serious.
ly apprehended that il he ever becomes president,
he will as boldly trampte upon 1t? If our conslu-
ton has become mere dead letter, v hat are our
liberties worth? If the former is violated with i'm.
punity, are the latter likely to be OF long duration
These are serious questions, and deserve serious
consideration. SIDNEY.
