The Patowmac Guardian, And Berkeley Advertiser

The foundation of a belief of the existence and government of a Deity--a regard to the Deity cannot be maintained without some public exercises of religion. Social worship is therefore necessary to the happiness of society, and to the easy administration of government--and in this view worthy the attention of every legislature, while in a higher view it deserves the regard of every individual."

Patriotism, like Religion, often enjoins duties which are paramount to every other consideration, and though the selfish part of mankind derogate from the merit of every action performed by their co-temporaries, by imputing the motives to inferior considerations--yet a conscious integrity will furnish a reward for every public spirited exertion, of which envy and censure cannot deprive the votaries of virtue and benevolence.
