apprehending that he was destined TO be-

with intense anxiety, which would enable him,
to PROSTATE his aspiring and successful rival.
They had been some months engaged in busi-
ness as Joint publishers and editors Of the New
Hampshire Patriot; and Mr.. Hill, having for a
long time enjoyed the reputation Of the ablest
political writer in New-Hanpshre, when he
discovered, that sore Of the applause which
the Patriot elected, was justly given TO Mr.
Moore. he considered it very expedient to d.
vest himself Of a partner, who was likely TO
wear few Of the newspaper laurels of the
day; and in fit Of jealousy, the copartnership
was dissolved, and for a moment, Mr. Hill sup
posed that his rival was slenced and put down.
In this, however, he soon found himself sadly
mistaken. Mr.. Moore has recently esta blishcd
the Hampshire Journal, in which he dis
plays his talents 10 great advantage, and is
rapidly accommodating that patronage. which
Mr.. Hill originally possessed, and the good
will of that people who were once politically
spell bound by the sophistry, ingenuity, and
mendacity Of the New-Hampshire Patriot.

The THEATRE.-We perceive that very
successful attempt has been made to establish
a Theatre in Salem, and that the liberal citizens
of that town, haye readily subscribed for the
necessary stock, to erect suitable building,
where the legitimate drama may be presented
to the public -
As might have been expected, from town
which is equally famous for witchcrafi and
Mill Dams" strong exceptions were taken 10
the proposals Hr the establishment of Thea
tire, in place, which had been annoyed by
other Hecates than those which are presented
to us in Shakspeare's Macbeth, and the press
es of the place, with one exccpiion--much
against their own good will and interest, de-
claimed" cried aloud and spared not"
against the undertaking, and held, not the
Mirror" as Shakespeare hath it, Sup to ma
turc," but a Theatre, up to the public, in all
the hidcousness of its profanity, and with
Beelzebub's tail and cloven foot nailed to it,
as an emblem its tier sniulness.
But though many doleial tale was told,
about the pernicious consequence l-'s ngfoi
a Theatre, and aheu; the " blacK-att," and
" all o. that sort o. thing" the ci,izera of Sa-
lem stage-s'rr'> or moon-struck, or ShaAs-
peare-struck, or struck in some kind Of way or
other, determined that theatre they would
have; and since they have got one, we hope
they will be grated, Satisfied and delighted,
and immortalized and einbalmed."

Give not unnecessary pain to any man,

Second Side.--"Take counsel before you

execution to the inexperienced.
Sacrifice your property for your lite, and
your life for your religion.
Spend your time in establishing good

own table.
Make not Yourself the captive of women" "
Fourth Side-" Take not wife from a
