lie cruelty of making such characters believe that
they will be in this heavenly state at ALL and thus
keep them from using the means necessary for Sc
curing it, till it is gone from them forever"
The man who thus dares to proiane the name OF
Heaven, and set the name Of the Almighty at de-
fiance-who thus outrages every principle Of COM
mon decency, deserves punishment unknown to
our laws. A wretch abandoned, should not be
suffered to remain among US, TO poison the youth
fu mind. and 10 circulate his gangreene through
The arteries Of the Church. We have also been
compelled to omit, in this paragraph, word for
its obscenity, and we regret that duty has COM
PEELED US to notice any Of the aiders filthy effu-
| soas But in Heavens name let US hasten to a
conclusion, that our columns ray no longer be
.uled with this article.
ave do not learn from the Telescope, when "hs
sable Majesty" died; but it must have been since
last winter; for at that time he was, if we may
credit the same paper, exercising indisputable in
huence and CONTROL" As the Telescope, however,
gets the earliest Intelligence Of such matters, may
we not expect that the next will contain all the
particulars relative TO these strange events"
This is the last specimen Of impiety we shall
present to our readers, as emena,ing from the CO.
lumps OF the nti-Unversa.t. We have selected
those that are the least ofensive and compared
with others which signalize the publication, they
are specimens of morality. We shall leave the
publication to the condemnation of all wise aud
good men, and to receive their unqualified denun-
citation and reprobation, alter we have appended
few remarks.
The hypocritical and can'ng stickler, who has
thus dared TO insult whole people, who are as
virtuous, intelligent, and discriminating as any
other, has the unparalleled audaci'y, TO pretend
that he has been induced to get up his publication
by a jealous hope to extend the kingdom of the
REDEEMER, and to insGl pious aud virtuous opin-
ions. With hope of nstillins pieas and vlrtuous
opinions. indeed! As well might th9occupants Of
those sinks Of iniqui,y, where vice riots and crime
| rduges in every debauchery, plead that the hope
| OF extending the doctrines Of the Cross, induce
them to commit their outrages upon society. The
boldness of the writer astonlshes US, and his impu-
dence is unequaed.
We are not the advocates Of any particular sect
or doctrine, we pretend not to knowledge of the
mysteries of the Creator-we pretend not to fa-
thom futurty, or TO know what will be the fate o
mortals in unexplored worlds. These things can
not be solved by man. and why should he quarrel a
DO 4 that of which he is profoundly ignorant, and o
which he can nerer on this side of the grave, be in
| formed! Should he not be content with the enjoy
ment Of his own belief and in the exercise of re-
| lgious liberty, without attempting to frce his
neighbor to the adoption of Opinions merely be-
cause they are congenIal 10 his reason ana ae-
cord w,.h his oun senses.
Tne UaIversali.t believes that all men will be
,ayed-,he Cavnst is of an opinion that portion
of mankind will be damned-and here they differ
upon a mere matter Of opinion-about that, which
is as inexplcable and uncertain chaos itself. But
IS it necessary for them to quarrel about the aar-
docs it become them as meek and lowly followers
of the Cross to marshal themselves in hostile ar
| raw, and combat each other with all the fury oi
| UNI estrained madmen? Do they by thus display
ing the heated zeal, and inflated passions which
give rise to the atrocities of the Crusaders, honor
that Gospel which they profess, and which lead
us to "ove one another to be just and merciful,
and generous and kind. Nay, they certainly do
not-on the contrary, they inaict wound on the
ause in which they engage, and bring the gospel
into disrepute.
Happy indeed is it for our beloved country, that
the spirit ofntoe cannot exist among us; for
the wisdom of that great man, who, few days
since descended from the heights of Monticello, to
The dark, cold grave, foresaw the evils that must
eventually curse the country, if regular Church
was established; and he averted great evil, by
making those salutary regulations, which guaran-
tee to all men the rights of conscience. Happy in
deed is it COR AMKRIcANs, that they can assemble
and worship the Almighty according to the die
tates of their own conscences, without interruption
happy is it for them, that TINS is secured to them
by the CONSTITUTION Of the country; and may
heavens vengeance fall upon the man, who at
tempts to deprive them of this inestimsble bless
ing.
The Univer.alist is as entirely at liberty to wor-
ship the Creator, as the Calvinist-thc Calvinst
has equal liberty with the Universalist-and he
who attempts to impede or insult either whilst iu
the exercise of religious worship, lays himself liza
BILE to all the pains and penalties of the Law for the
protection of individuals and society.
