the people the mode and form in which they shall worship their Creator , and to which each individual is compelled to pay , however repugnant it may be to his feelings and opinions . But what does it concern any one whether his neighbour pray to a Trinitarian or a Unitarian God , so long as his couduct in society is
irreproachable ? With the firm conviction of the bad tendency of all national establishments in religion , we direct our readers to the following extracts from recent American papers , in which they will find ample proof that where all sects and
denominations are put on a footing of strict and impartial equality , they can . dwell together in harmony , and , like real Christians , actively lend their mutual co-operation in promoting ** peace on earth and good will toward men . "
Extract of a letter from Washington , dated 9 th March : " You will have learned before this reaches you that my friend Mr . Adams is inaugurated President of the United States . It is a great triumph—the triumph of talent , virtue and well-regulated freedom . Last Sunday we
had a solemn religious service at the Unitarian Church , to implore the Divine blessing on the new government . The President , and several heads of departments , members of the Supreme Judiciary , senators and representatives , were present , and a crowd of distinguished citizens of both sexes . It so hannened that Mr . of both sexes . It so happened that Mr .
Owen , of Lanark , was also with us , and had an opportunity of seeing the union of equality , respect and order , which prevails in our Republican institutions . " " There were eighty-one places of worship in New York , in 1823 , which city contains about 130 , 000 souls . This fact proves that religion will flourish at least as well without an established church as
with one ; and as one sect is not peculiarly favoured by the State , the rest are not made jealous and quarrelsome . Thus one great cause of domestic discord does not exist among the citizens of America ; and as each person pays only the teacher of the sect to which he is attached , he is likewise relieved from the burden and paiu of contributing to the spread . of doctrines that he deems at least erroneous .

" A National Tract Society - has beea formed within a few days past in this city , intended to . concentrate the exertions of Christians of all denominations , hi supplying the United States with religious , tracts and cheap publications . The importance of the plan will be readily
acknowledged by all good men . The union , which has been effected by local institutions of this description , combines many advantages which we have no doubt will be fully realized in the future operations of the Society . We understand that it is proposed immediately to build a house in
this city for the accommodation of the Society , and that a liberal * subscription for this purpose was made at a meeting of its friends on Friday evening of last week . It is calculated that the proposed building will cost about 20 , 000 dollars , 12 , 500 of which were subscribed at that meeting "—New York Paper y 16 th ult .
" The Bill to relieve the Hebrews in the State of Maryland from the Constitutional disqualification to hold Offices , has passed both Houses : we have , therefore , reason to expect , that at next sessions , this feature of intolerance will be erased from the constitution of our state , —Baltimore Papery 28 th February .
