Do any of ypii, my hearers, flatter
yourselves that you desire to be Chris
tians? Have you j seriously thought
what it was to be a -Christian? The
Christian hates sin, and loves holiness.
He hungers and thrists after rijihte-
ousness. He delights in the service of
God. It is his drink to do the will of
his heavenly Father. Do you desire
to possess such a character? No
man truly desires to be a Christian
who is not willing to forsake his sins,
and to walk in newness of life. Are
you willing to do this? Call to view
the sins which you habitually indulge.
- -Are you willing to forsake them
immediately? JLook at the duties of
religion Are you willing to per
form them? If you are you will com
mence a life of obedience without de
lay. If you are not willing to do
these things, you are not willing to be
Christians: for these 1 things are essen
tial to the Christian char j. ter. Cast
away, then, this vain delusion. Be
wiTling to see1 your own hearts, and
to acknowledge your character. No
longer expect to.exoulpat yourselves,
and to impute nurightenn.xiu'ss to Je
hovah. When you say that yon
should be glad so be christians if von
could you virtually say that it is not
gour fault that you remain in impeni
tence. And whose fault is it, , mv
hearers? It. is either vour fault or
God's. While therefore you exculpate
yourselves, you cast 'all the blame of
your impenitence, upon your jUaker.
And i not this impiety?"

Hedges.' These are the most beau
tiful and the most durable of fences.
Good stone wall may be a little better
on a farm, because it takes less room.
rut on all farms where stone is not
abundant, the hedge row is the best
and cheapest fence. ; Hedges are com
mon in Europe, and'are impenetrable
to men or beast. The white thorn is
said to make the best hedge. It grows
quick in every variety of soil; the
black thorn is also much used. The
hazel, willow, and alder; have some
times been used with success; also the
buck thorn, the holly and barberry
The Exeter News Letter says that a

From the Richmond Compiler
A Striking incident. The news
papers of the Norxh have spoken of
Mr. Sedgwick, whose late appear
ence in the Convention of Philadel
phia, produced so deep a sensation.
Will you excuse me for offering yon
the following description of this gen
tleman? It seems, there were two gentlemen
in the Convention, fr.om Massachus
etts; a Mr. Sedgwick and a Mr. Pom
ry; one, brother, and the other the ne
phew of the gentleman in question.
He was specially invited by the Pres
ident (Mr. Barbour) to take a seat
with the members. He was the au
thor of the Convention, itself; for, he
had suggested it in series of admira
ble queries, which he had published, in
the N. Y. Evening' Post. t
Before it met in Philadelplua, he
had been most ; unfortunately struck
with tiie paralysis but his zeal would
not permit him to be absent; and when
the i Convention assembled, he was in
Philadelphia to witness its proceed
ings. The interest which he had thus
excited induced the President to in
vite him ,to take a seat among them.
Providence had sorely stricken Mr.
Sedgwick for,7 he seemed piralixed
up to his ifeck, Every limb was af-
flicted every limli bore witness to lhe
violence of the attark, which had be-
fallen this, iriterestintr individual.
The morning; that he appeared nt
the bar of the Convention, he was
borne in, on the arms of his two ser
vants not a muscle but was ppwer-
Ies. As he was carricfl- in, he was re
cognised and hailed with loud accla
mations. i be .first tnmg tnat was
dbne-when- he took his seat, was for
his servants td rub both his hands and
rouse the torpid functions of life. And
there he sat every day, listening with
intense eagerness to the proceedings
of an assembly which he had called
into existence, and waiting the suc
cess of a cause to which he was so
deeply devoted. Being asked "how
he felt himself!" he replied, that very
little of him waseft but the 'spirit and
the zeal. A spectacle of this descrip
tion carries with it something so im
pressive & affecting, that it is no won
der he drew so many eyes upon mm
onrl that hp PTcites so Drofound an in-

Message to the Legislature of that

that three fourths of the unhappy in

leading cause of the commission of the
crimes for which they were convicted.
ranee Is there no remedy for this al
arming evil, which cuts off so many
citizens in early life, and brings so
much sorrow and misery on innocent
families? I answer that there is. Pass
a law prohibiting the county courts
from granting to any one a license to
retail spirituous liquors, unless he be
a man of known character for hones
ty, whose business is that of an inn
keeper, with suitable accomodations
for travellers, and punish with severi
ty those w ho violate the law."

see how the only means of sowing- the

To those who will consider this sub-

seem strange,
that the sweetest and most gentle affec

ently cold and dark shadow of stern
duty; The obligation is strengthen

, . The late Murder in Printe George.
On monday last, five of the Slaves
of the late Mr. Henry Lewis,- were
arraigned before the County Court of
Prince-George for the niurde'r of
their master, and, after due investiga
tion, condemed to death. It appear
ed on their trial, that so impatient
were the infatuated wretches to a
dorn themselves with their ill-gotton
plunder, that they scrupled not even
the next day after thej cruel deed; to
wear openly articles marked with the
initials of their --victim's' name.' This
circumstance first awakened suspicion,
and furnished a clue, which, being
warily and circumspectly followed,
led step by step to the developement
of the horrid 1 mystery,
and finally to
the confession from die lips of the cul
prits; of all of the dreadful particu
lars. ; ' I . -
The time appointed! for the execu
tion of these Slaves, we are; informed
is Wednesday the lGth proximo.
