No. XIII,

AN ENQUIRY INTO THE NA-
TURE OF THE PEOPLE CON-
STITUTING THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA.

The unvarying influence on the
condition of things in America
by the actual character of the
people residing among us. This can
be found to prove, that however
diverse the sources from which our population is derived, the powerful influences
exerted on their understan-
dings and habits here, occasion them to reject
national antipathies. The mutual animosities in Europe between Christians
and Mahometans, do not exist in A-
merica. The Hebrew left to
himself, or which governs the conduct of the Jew in
private life, gives him
no cause to hate or to fear his Christian neigh-
bour, who does him no injury.

When Mahomet

has
Constantinople, at every
was ordered to be slain.

Jews have thanked our laws, that they enjoy perfect liberty of
conscience in this land.

American Christians thus
feel charity and love to every neighbour, whether Jew or
Christian; and Christians as hypo-
crites would call them, make religion
mild and render it amiable in other countries, was the fruit of
hypocrisy and knavery.

The inconsistencies of
Christians in the name of Jesus Christ, the
Jew could find no peace,
from bigotry, envy and self-denial
that ran into pomp, luxury
of power they did not fear; therefore, with us as men
of the world, in the love of God
differing in their principles,
they believe the scriptures
reverently submitting to
our fellow creatures to the
best of our power, as we can command the light
of reason, is sufficient for our
guidance.

many essential parts
are amalgamated with
Americans, in the
principles of liberty, humanity,
and a description of men
generally attached
to the United
States, and they are
more numerous in proportion to
any other church in our
constitutions.

It may be correctly asserted, that no nation,
equally civilized, has derived its
structure of its various governments from a
degree from its own wisdom more
than the united Americans.

It is more na-
tional than any others in our
country.
