We copy from the Ksnnebsck Gazette, the
following article. which relates to as great
vagabond and infamous impostor. az ever Of
Tended decent society with his presence. The
fellow, is pretty we'll knows, and il is not lit
tie strange, that the proper authorities Of
Mans, do not put an end to the ma achiuatiens
Of SO great q vagabond:
"Ordination Ertra.-Ordained IN this town
on Monday, 4th inst. the " notorious Hull Bar
ton, as pastor over the church and society re-
Gently gathered by the Req Jacob Cochrane.
The services were performed by a few Of the
deluded followers Of Coehrane.
Since the above sham or mock ordination,
Barton has baptised some twenty or thirty
persons, principally young girls and some Of
them without the knowledge or consent of
their parents, although they lived ia the imme-
date vicinity. The plan devised to frghtsn
them into the water was as follows: Barton
made what he called prophesy. saying TO his
converts, that unless they we're baptized by
given time they would never more enjoy relg-
ion, nevertheless the niny still continues to bap-
tize those that were converted previous to his
notable prophesy, not probably aware Of the
plain contradiction between his prophesy and
practice. He has also administered (not like
his predecessor the passover) but what he calls
the Lords Supper.
This fanatlcal manner Of treating religion
may seem 70 some truly surprising; but those
who are acquainted with the fascinating pow
er OF Cochranism will not expect any thing
different from its votares.
The ordaining elders were Stephen Mitchell,
Jacob Towne, and Bracy Curtis
The doctrine, which this Infamous wretch
nrofesses 10 promulgate. is of too odious and
offensive a nature to be recited in the columns
of public newspaper, and therefore we shall
spare ourselves the recital Of thing SO dis
gushing Barton's principal associate, is the in
famous Jacob Cochrane, who. q few years since,
was sentenced to perform purgation at the
Massa chusetts States Prison, for the perpetra-
tion OF one ofthe most revolving crimes. These
two base wretches, and loathsome creatures,
have since Jacobs emancipation, eo-operat-
ed, and are endeavoring to establish a church,
founded on the creed they advocate, and have
already partly succeeded. Although the con-
stitution Of the United States. guarantee to
every man the privilege Of worshipping God
according to the dictates Of his conscience,
still it does not justify him in getting up mock
mode OF worship, which is destructive to the
morals Of society, calculated to corrupt the
age, and to destroy every thing that is con-
nected with true religion and exemplary piety.

FRANK JOHNSON. OF KENTUCKY.

Among other individuals. who were sum-
moned before the Kentucky Political Inquis-
ition, to give testimony before that tyrannical
body, touching the alledged bargain, cor
rupt coalition, between Mr.. Adams and Mr..
Clay, was Frank Johnson. AS soon after tho
summons had reached him, as was practical
BILE, Mr.. Johnson, repaired TO Frankfort, but
unfortunately did not arrive there till the do
inps of the Inqusitoh were closed. Finding
tnat the opportunity he expected would be af-
forded him. Of doing justice TO Messrs Adams
and Clay, had escaped him, and that the In
ausiton had determined not to afford him an
opportunity to defend himself and friends, he
addressed his late constituents in a circular,
published in the Commentator, Of which the
annexed is a closing extract:
"No man living can more regret the neces'
sity which has induced this publication than
myself Like Cato. when Caesar had put HIM
down, had retired to the honorable station
of private citizen. There had hoped, at
least for a while, to have remained undisturb-
ed. But it does seem that nothing short Of an
exterminating warfare Of persecution is to be
waped, by the friends of General Jackson
against Mr. Clay and his friends who voted for
Mr.. Adams. The streams of misreprcsenta-
ton are TO flow afresh and continue TO disturb
and deluge the country. The inqusition be-
fore the Senate, is to furnish food for.sla nder-
That doubtless was the object AS l said up
on another occasion, ! repeat again, that
however much may be opposed to General
Jackson's election, the means used to get him
into power are more TO be deprecated. if pos
sible, than even his elevation. Cast your eyes
for a moment, over the advertisement or proc

it can be proved to our satisfa action, that his
Intentions are not pure, and perfectly correct,
then will he find III this press, an opposer; and
our columns shall be used to expose the impro-
priety of his object, and the unhallowedness of
his designs.
Our correspondent should have known, be-
fore he addressed us the note, Of which we are
now speaking, that it contained charges Of
too serious nature, and Of too much conse-
quence, to be published on the authority of an
anonymous author, and We are surprised, that
he should think that we would take upon our
selves responsibility, which it is but too evil
dent he dared not to assume. Let him not un-
derstand, however, that we are ncensed, be-
cause Of his non compliance to the usages of
the press, which exacts from all correspondents
who write on subjects Of Importance, and
fraught with delicacy, surrender Of the real
name of the writer, and a satisfactory indemnity
against loss and yexation. The note of our
correspondent, we are satisfied no mon would
publish in its present shape, and we doubt, If
even the prostituted publications of the times,
would give it place in their columns.

II will be remembered BY most Of our readers,
that Mr.. Jobnsonv was ono Of the Western
Delegation, who voted with Mr.. Clay, for Mr.
Adams, and was until the last session Of Con-
gress. an efficient, bold and manly supporter
Of the Administration. His residence, and
Congressional district, being in the nsqhbor-
hood ofthe northern Limits of Tennessee, and
adjacent to the abiding place Of Gen. Jackson,
the General found il convenient for him TO in
terfere with his election in the year 1927, and
by Management and address. succeeded in de-
feating it. To accomplish an end SO de-
sirablo, the General actually visited the dis
trict, and through his friends, circulated an
address, charging Mr.. Johnson with the crime
Of political corruption, and ALTERATION from
the duties required Of him by his consIitu-
ents. As these charges were circulated
secretly, Mr.. Johnson did not know of them
till after the close of the canvass, and when it
was too late, to attempt to obliterate, or dis
sipate their pernicious influences. He is a
man Of splendid talents, and ornament to the
State, in which he resides, and such an one,
as cannot be dimmed by the assaults of his po-
litical rivals, foes, and ungenerous, and
unjust pursuors. Had he been allow
ed to give his testimony. before the in
QUESTION. he would have destroyed tho de-
signs of that infuriated body. This they well
knew. and taking advantage Of circumstances,
closed their investigation, before it was Possi-
BILE for Mr.. johnson to appear and confront
them. AS much as this, might have been eN-
pected of the Jacksonians, and if Mr.. John
son knows them as well as we believe he
does, he il not at all disappointed, by the re-
suit Of the affair.

FANCY'AND MAsQUERADE BALLS. Dur
ing the present winter, it has pleased a num-
ber of the most respectable gentlemen of the
town, TO amuss themselves by indaging in
Masquerade and Fancy Balls. and for thus do
ing what they have an unquestionable right TO
do. two or three of the mock moraIists and
hypoorites Of tho day. have taken the liberty
to abuse and insult them, and to accuse them
Of immoral practices. This might be expect
&c, and the insults that have been given, will
probably be noticed, to the extent thoy merit
As for ourselves, we caro- but little about
these insults, for they do not reach us, and we
simply speak for our friends and asso cates,
when we say that matters have arrived to
pretty pass, in this free country, if gentlemen
cannot assemble, and amuse themselves. as
gentlemen should. without laying themselves
liable to the gross scurrility Of the newspap per
press. These Masquerade Balls, are perfectly
harmless in thsmsclves-they arc got up by
geatlemen for their innocent amusement and
to drive care away, at an inclement period Of
tho duller season. Those who attend them,
attire themselves in such dresses as they please,
and mask themselves as their fancy may die
tate, and thus disguised. they indulge in an
amusement which is certainly innocent and
rational The Fancy Balls. are Of similar
nature. the masks being dispensed with. The
gentlemen who have attended these balls, be-
long to the most respectable classes Of socie- J.
ty, and will in all human probability, continue
to manage their amusements, as they shall
think best, notwithstsndin tho assaults of
mock moralists. and literary empyricks. 1t il
not long since, one Of the most distinguished
individuals Of this State, a gentleman who his
long enjoyed tho confidence ofthe Rhode-Is-
land public. gave a masquerade ball at his
mansion, which was attended by the beauty
and fashion ofthe to wn, and although, it was
well known, that he thus ndulgod his family
ard his friends, those moral gentleman Of the
press, who now so heartily rail against q spe-
cies Of rational and innocent amusement, said
not word on the subject; they dared not to
do SO, but when a number OF respectable pri-
vats gentlemen. got up gala Of the kind. the
flood-gate Of tho press were opened. and its
spleen and scurrility were cast at them, by
those who preach up morality. but do not pras-
tics what they preach.
Before we leave the subject. it is proper to
remark, that tho masquerade and fancy balls,
which have been had in this vicinity during tho
winter, have been attended by gentlemen on
ly;-that they have BEEN conducted with the
stricte't regard for propriety. and have not Of
