The first time the Declaration Of lndepen-
oeuce was publicly read in Massachusetts.
was lii this town. The Express, on his
way to Boston, furnished Isaiah Thomas, Esq
with copy for publication in this paper, of
which he was at that time the publisher. The
news Of its receipt soon spread throughout the
town, and large concourse Of people collect
ed, all anxious to see or hear so extraordinary
a document. To crafty their curiosity, Tho
mas assembled the portico of the South Meet
ing-House, Chen the only one in town. and
read 1t TO those who were assembled. Half a
century has since passed away, during which
our country has increased in wealth, popula-
ton and power, beyond all former precedent.
DIR. Thomas still lives to witness the prosper-
ty of the country, and yesterday joined in the
celebration of independence in the same house
from which he read the declaration City years
ago.

Two or more writers in the New England Far
mer express an opinion, that the deleterious
qualities Of Poisonous Cheese are derived from
the vessels in which the milk is kept, one OF
them attributing it TO the glazing of earthcn
pans, and another to the poisonous nature Of
copper and brass vessels. Unfortunately for
their theory, it is not confirmed by facts. The
only instances of injurious effects, that have
come within our knowledge, have arisen from
eating new mich cheese, which, it is well
known, is made of milk directly from the
cows. If the evil arose from the vessels in
: : knnt. the effects would be most
apparent from skim cheese. n.,.l -.tr.~-
bend That, as long as the milk is sweet, there
is no danger from keeping it in either earth
en- or metal vessels.

LIBEL SUIT.-A libel suit, of some impor-
lance, has recently been tried in New-Yo rk
State, the result ofwhich was, a verdict against
the Editors OF the .Ne,c York American, fol
Sli00 damages. The alleged libel charged
Gen. Root, late Lieut.. Gov. Of New Y orll,
with being drunls, o,.l sltl,y il. his appearance,
when making a decision in the Senate, as
President Of that body. Our readers may per-
haps recollect something of the matter. 1t
was on the far-famod electoral law, prior to
the last election ofPFosident, when Gen. Roots
influence was. successfully excrted to defeat
the passage Of that act.
On the trial, th5 truth Of the accusation was
proved BY nine or ten highly respectable wit
nesses, sJme Of them Senators, who testified
,hat he went into the Senate staggering, with
tobacco Juice running from the corners Of his
mouth his beard long, his face redder than
usual, and his general appearance dirty and
sloyenIy. 1t was also testified, that it was the
general belief in Albany, that he was drunk on
that day, and it was the subject of general
conversation. On the other hand, several wit
nesses swore to belief that he was not drunk
al tia, time, although they admitted his gencr'
al character to be that Of an incorporate man
And, here, very nice distinction was made
between drunkenness and the inferior grades o
a,.toracction, which was recognized by The
Judge, (Botts) who directed the jury that t'
support the defence, not only the principa
charge must be fully proved, but all The attend
OK circumstances, as set forth in the allese'
lbei.-That, as tho defendants had Aocusc'

Death by Dronning. --Jercmiah stiles' of
this town, was drowned while bathing in
Long Pond, near the floating bridge, on the
afternoon of the 2diLst. When approaching the
bridge he was seen to sink, and his compan-
ion supposed he was going to swim under the
bridge, bat as he rose no more, it is probable
his sinking was occasoned by fit, to which
he has been subject heretofore. Attempts
have been made without success to discover
he body.

FOR THE SPECTATOR.
THE SPECULATOR-NO. w.

Having taken the circuit of the visi-
BILE heavens, and found each fixed star a
sun. dispensing light and heat % planets
which revolve around it; but which,
from their distance and opacity are invi
sibie to US: and having the best reason
TO suppose all these planets Gas well as
those Of the solar system) inhabited by
rational and immortal, yet probably i'm.
perfect beings: the mind is naturally led
TO admire the wisdom, the goodness and
The power OF that Being who "spake and
it was done; who commanded, and it
stood fast :"-of that Being who made,
who upholds, and who governs, all these
worlds, and all their Inhabitants: on whom
all are dependent for life, for sustenance,
Ind what of happiness they enjoy or ex-
pect; from the highest arch angel to the
smallest insect: Of that Being
"Who sees with equal eye, as God of all,
A hero perish, or a sparrow tal
Atoms or systems into ruin hurld;
"And now bubble burst-and now world %
For poet has said an undevout astro-
homer, is mad J"
But how ought our gratitude to be en-
kindled, when we behold this same glo-
rious Being condescending to devise
means tor our happiness, by a recovery
from that state OF moral evil into which
we are plunged; and which, in its ma.
ture, dlsquaifies US for the enjoyment of
perfect felicity!
But as am a proiessed shecuiator, it
is not BETTING that should conhne my
self to The beaten track Of moralisls, Of
theologisns, or OF astronomers. am
privileged 10 follow PROBABILITY where
ever she may lead !: and The reader may
put just as much faith IN my specu a,lons
as he sees reason or revelation TO sup
port them; and l ask no more.
In my second number l gave, from
analogy, about as good reason for believ-
ing nat The inhabitants OF the planets in
the solar system are not perfect beings,
as others have given for believing (what
every scientific man does believe) that
they are inhabited at all.
The same analogy will hold good,
though in more remote way, to prove
that all The inhabitants in all the planets
which revolve around all the suns in the
universe, are in the same predicameDt.
On this proposition, however, shall not
insist.
But as have found the inhabitants Of
all the planets in the solar system, in the
same predicament with ourselves; and
have rather supposed that all the others
in the Visible creation are so too; it
would be ungenerous to leave them thus,
without shelving the probability that they
are in condition as likely to obtain hap
piness as ourselves. If, in proving this,
the Spectator should have recourse to
revelation, and should quote few pas
sages from Scripture, it may be pardon
ed by those who would read i.--no where
else.
My proposition is, that JESUS CHRIST
is their Saviour, as we'll as ours.
And propose to prove it both by rea-
son and scripture.
II, Is the bible teaches, and most pee-
pie believe, no other but an infinite be.
ing could make atonement for the sins
Of others, and il Christ was an infinite
being, then none but.he could Dc it. II
