no beauty in Republicanism which will
bind 1t to the hearts of a peopI bent on
oppression. Considering this Circum-
stance, it becomes us TO look at the food
of emigration pouring in upon us from
the dominions of the Pope. His emissa-
rles are now active, and the treasures Of
Europe are open for their support. Is it
not possible that in some unguarded hour,
they may adroit)y manage to get the pow
er into their own hands, If 50, where
will be our free institutions and where our
liberties! Can any thing else be expect
Cd but the fires Of persecution and the
gloomy cells of the Inquisition With
Pope at the head of a government, crime
and pollution will spread like a mighty
torrent over our country. 1t twas record
cd By the secretary Of John XIII, that he
was esteemed a good Pope, who did not
exceed in Wickcdncss the worst of men,
Even his own master had been convicted
by council of more than forty crimes
But however wicked, the Pope IS univer-
sal Bishop, throughout all his dominions.
To him homage is given by emperors and
kings; yet he must be judged by none.
In several respects misrepresentation
prevails in the United States with regard
to the Roman religion. Some suppose
that we need fear nothing fom it. If,
however, it should spread a few years
more, those persons will be convinced
that its character is not changed by tread
ing on cur soil. Some consider it branch
of christianity; and though corruption,
suppose there is still some purity. But
this is mistake, for it is entirely dvsti-
tute ofthe Iife-giving influence of chris
tianity and is a deadly enemy to every
principle which it incuIcates Others
think Popcry can be discouraged by rail-
ing accusation But this will only serve
to excite the sympathy of,hc people, with
out enlightcning 1hom. Ifthe votaries of
truth should for once take up those Weap-
ons, they ought like David with the ar
NOR Of Saul, to lay them by as soon as
possible. Neither can it be discouraged
by civil power. That would be in direct
opposition to the spirit of our religion and
our free institutions,
What means then shall be employed to
extirpate popery from our land? it can
be done only by enlightcning the public.
Let knowledge shine upon its dark reccs-
ses. If papists are continually emigrat-
ing to our shores from lands of darkness,
let them know that here they will be sur
rounded by light. If persons will be
catholics in this country, they ought to be
acquainted with the religion they have en-
braced. If they are aIIured by the smil-
ing look of the holy religion to throw
themselves into her, surely they should
be informed that beneath her draperv lies
concealed a sword that will pierce them
to the heart-Landm0rk

Tassble, and the respectable, and the ST.
per-excellent and yet it Is very possible
thing, that If a man in the last of these
stations were to import all his habits and
all his profligacies into his native land,
spper-excellent as he may be abroad, at
home he would be banished from the gen.
eral association of virtuous and well-or-
dered families, Now, all we ask of YOU
is, to transfer this consideration to the mat
ter before us,-to think how possible a
thing it is, that the moral principle ofthe
world at large, may have sunk to peace
able aud approving acquiesccnce, in the
existing practice of the world at large
that the security which is inspired by the
habit Of measuring ourselves by ourselves
and comparing ourselves amongst our
selves, may therefore be a delusion alto
gether,-that the very best member of so,
ciety upon earth, may be utterly unfit for
the society of heaven,-that the morality
which is current here, may Depend upon
totally another set Of principles from the
morality whichis held to be ind hpensable
there and W hen We gather these prin-
ciples from the book Of Gods revelation,-
when we are told that the law ofthe two
great commandments is, to love the Lord
our God with all our strength, and heart,
and mind, andro bear the same love to
our neighbor that we do to ourselves
the argument advances from a conjecture
to a certainty, that every inhabitant of
earth when brought to the bar of Heav-
ems judicuture, is altogether wanting -
and that unless some great moral renova-
ton take effect upon him, he can never be
admitted within the limits OF the empire
Of ighteousness.-C Chalmers

EARLY REPUTATION.

1t is an old proverb, that he who aims
at the sun, TO be sure will not reach it, but
his arrow will fly higher than if he aimed
at an object on level with himself Just
so in the formation Of character. Set your
standard high, and though you may not
reach it, you can hardly fail to rise high
er than if you aimed at some inferior ex-
celIence. Young men are not in gener-
al, conscious of what they are capable Of
doing They do not task their faculties,
nor improve their power, nor attempt as
they ought TO rise to superior excellence
They have no high commanding object at
which to aim; but often seem TO be pass
ing away life without object and without
aim. The consequence is, their efforts
are feeble, they are not walked up to any
thing great or stinguished and there
fore fail to acquire character Of decided
worth.
intercourse with persons of decided vir-
tue and excellence is of great importance
in the formation Off good character. The
force of example is powerful. We are
creatures of imitation, and by necessary
influence, our tempers and habits are very
much formed on the model of those with
which we familiarity associate. In this
view, nothing is of more importance to
young men than the choice oftheir COM
panions. If they select for their associ-
ates the intelligent, the virtuous, and the
enterprising, great and most happy will be
the effects on their own character and
habits. With these living, breathing pat
terms Of excellence before them, they Can
hardly fail to feel disgust at every thing
that is low, unworthy and vicious, and to bt
inspired with desire to advance in what
ever is praise worthy and good. 1t is need
less to add, the opposite of all this is the
certain consequence of intimacy with per,
sons of bad habits and proAigate lives.
Young men are, in general but little
aware how much their reputation is affect
ed in the view of the public, by the com,
pany they keep. The character of their
associates is soon regarded as their own
Ifthey seek the society Of the worthy and
respectable 1t elevates them in the public
estimation, as it is an evidence they re-
spect others. On the contrary intimacy
with persons Of bad character, always
sinks young man in the eye Of the pub
lie. While he, perhaps, in intercourse
with such persons, thinks but little ofthe
consequences, others are making their re.
marks; they learn what his taste is j..
what sort of company he prefers; and pre-,
dict on no doubtful ground, what will be
the issue ofhis own principles and charac'
ter There are young men, and those

PoPERY IN THE UNITED STATES.

That it is the duty OF American citizens
to acquaint themselves with the nature and
effect Of Popery, no person can for mo-
ment doubt. lis influence has been felt in
almost every christian country. Wher-
ever it appears, it ms.nuates itself, not on
ly into religious but civil affairs, and
claims the government of both soul and
body. In a country, therefore, where it
has made its appearance, it ought to be
examined, that every person may duly ap-
preciate its merits In this country, its
adherents will not be brought to the rack
and torture for examination, for that is a
prerogative peculiar to itself; but they
must be brought to the bar of public opin-
ion.
In the government uEder which we live
every person is secured In whatever belief
he chooses, provided bsa1ees not encroach
upon a similar right in others. But
where the religion Of the pope reigns,. we
find a class of men who are not content
with directing their own faith and prac-
tee, but claim a right to direct others al
so. They affirm that with them dwells
infallibiIity and they would fam compel
men. by tortures and death, to yield assent
to their belief The never failing practice
of papists, in all countries where they
have possessed power, tells plainly what
they would do here, if the power were
placed in their hands.
In this land the government is entirely
in the hands of the people, If they
change, that will change also. There Is
