'See thou do all things according to the pattern shewed thee in the Mount., "How vain the sons of Adam's race, To "what presumption giv'n, "They folly set in visdom's place, - And change the rights of heaven, When John 'baptis'd our gracious Lord . Ju Jordan's flowing stream, Of sprinkling spake he not a word As some would fondly dream. "Both rhilip and the Eunuch too Into the water went, With sprinkling they had naught to do To dip was their intent. 'In Enon's wave, to Salem near, In sacred writ we're told, . Because there was much water there, Did John baptise of old. If sprinkling then had been in use, A bowl had done as well. Sprinkling therefore is an abuse Of what the scriptures tell. Baptism in the sacred code, Christ's burial points to you, His resurrection by this mode Is also figur'd too. But sprinkling cannot represent These wonders to the mind, ?or ever was it Christ's intent It should the conscience bind. Search where you will, there's not a hint In all the scriptures giv'n, "That by baptism sprinkling's meant As the grand law of heav'n. if to baptize in native Greek, Designs to dig or plunge, "Why should we other meanings seek And the true sense expunge; "The various ways which men invent Can no true peace afford, God surely will some day resent Such freedom with his word. While others men's devices own, And to their schemes agree, Search thou the woi'd,for that alone In truth can settle thee; Cod's word is everlasting truth - And sure in every page, inis noiy. dook snail eruiae our youth And well support our age. For the Free Press. Good Advice.- "Do not ac custom yourself to swear, for there are words enough in the English language sufficiently ex pressive of your passions." It chills my blood to hear the blest Supreme, Rudely appealed tocn each trifling theme. Maintain your rank, vulgarity des pise, To swear is neither brave, polite nor wise. You would not swear upon a bed of death, Reflect your Maker now could stop your breath. Extract of a letter from an Ameri can officer on board the U.S. ship John Adams, to his friend in Bal timore, dated'Tassage Island, Kov. 10, 1821. "You will no doubt hear a great noise about Com. Porter taking a Spanish town in Porto Rico the circumstances are briefly these: The Governor imprisoned the commander of one of the small schooners un der his command and allowed him to be grossly insulted as soon as he heard of it, Com. Por ier proceeded there with two schooners and the boats and part of the crew of this ship he took two of their batteries, spiked the guns, and marched with two hundred men to the town (Fox fcnda) about two miles in the in teriorhe there found the Spa niards drawn up to give him battle, halted Ills men within pistol shot of their forces, sent a flag ordering the Governor and the Captain of the port, the two Hcipai ohenders, to come to him have their thef our o UlUllUillOii L. or ch;seUrnrsTndbUrnt-"they of nil n,, 3 a,?(1 m presence of the nffim,, :,V3 : Vi"cers beo--Pri nowinn "wusuned, expressed ?grcat penitence,; and promised : in iuiure iu rt'&pei;i.aiw.ujwiuu officers, who might hereafter vi sit the place. "The Commodore then march ed into the town merely to show them he had them in his power and then returned to the boats and left the place. No distur bance took place, and not a man left the ranks from the time they landed until they embark ed, having been more than 3 hours from their vessels. Self defence rendered it necessary to spike their guns and this is all they can complain t)f they had by some means been apprized of our intention of visiting them. The population of the place is about 2000; the country very thickly settled. Before we left them, a force of three times our number, with a field pice, had assembled, and in presence of, and within pistol shot of this force, our Commodore made them humble themselves." Aquatic sport. An interest ing match took place in New York harbor, on Thursday, 16th inst. between a boat of the Bri tish brig Hussar and one belong ing to and manned by the boat men of Whitehall. The stake was 551000 a side, the distance 4 miles: the American boat won with ease, coming in about 300 yards ahead of the Briton: time of running the 4 miles, 22 min utes: the Whitehallers made 4G strokes the minute, the English rowers 39. Something new. General Alexander Smyth, a member of Congress from Virginia, has is sued proposals for the publica tion ota work explanatory of the Apocalypse. He introduces his proposals as follows: "I certify, on honor, that I have discovered the meaning of the Apocalypse which (except that ofsomc passages in the se cond and third chapters) has ne ver been approached by any ex positor. Alexander Smyth." Important Trial. -The eel- ebrated case of Clarke against the Corporation of Washington, to recover the amount of a tick et in the Grand National Lotte ry, purchased by said Clarke, and which drew the prize of 100,000, occupied the court of Alexandria the whole of last week. The law and the facts were very minutely examined and canvassed, and the instruc tions qiven by the court to the jury were remarkable for their perspicuity. 1 he jury retired about 2 o'clock on Saturday, and in three quarters of an hour returned into court with a ver dict for the plaintiff of $85,000, to carry interest from the 17th March, 1S23, till paid. The prize was subject to a discount of 15 per cent. A motion has been made for a new trial.
