with them, and sacrifice themselves. No
such considerations in any respect apply

in the old.iashioned Democratic party, he
is very much mistaken. A target is We

tracted not more by the preachers lame, than
by curiosity TO ascertain what, il any, were his
peculiar views upon the prescribed topic, viz !:

tested no affinity for Unitarian doctrines, did not
altogether meet the views OF his Orthodox
