Pdeifon's fpeech at the opening of the election at Adolphuflown court houfe on the 20th Maylaft ; which ad diefs I have heard highly applauded by 4 number of people, but as it did not en¬ tirely meet my approbation, (perhaps for want of penetiation) and not having had fa it able opportunity with its advo¬ cates and belitving alfo that a free and open communication of fentinvent is a rich loiirce i»f improvement, I hope to be benefited by making a few remark' therein, as he or his friends may pnffi- Wy think me worthy of their attention. The full part of hi« fpeech was to me agreeably pleafant—the middle cenfori- ous, and the latter part declamatory Firfi.if 1 rightly under flood the young man, he was flimulaicd by his fiiends, and confident in his own firmntf-j, right- eoufnefs, and ability, which he rather bc- lievcd to be rare qualifitations. nrittd in one perlon, in this (or perhaps in any o- ther riding.) he had come forward, thus eqm'ppedi to offer himfelf to us a* a can¬ didate, for a feat in the provincial affem bly ; and as 1 knew nothing to the con* tiary. this pait of his addrefs excited in me no extraordinary fenfations. Ncver- thelefs, when he come to fpeak of the difappointments we had experienced, on account of Our imprudence, by not be¬ ing fufficiently careful, to fclcft men fnft ably qualified and rightly difpofed to do us good, my mind, (although undeter¬ mined for whom I fnould vote) retra¬ cing the fubjeA, believed the caution es¬ sential, and zealoufly adhered to it; not however from any prepofTrflions felfifhlv imbibed agafnft the ynunir man or hi-^ family, but 1 carefully queried with my- felf on this wile, Is it likely thefe hum¬ ble appearing pretentions tn facrifice for niblic good are lincere ? What has been he example from thw perfon and fami¬ ly in matters of lefs moment ? and re .•olleCTing, that 1 had, in the clerk's of- fiec, feen the affefs lilts of the tOWOlhip in which they live, the former lifts never contained the names of one of that fami¬ ly, except 'he old gentleman and his e* del! ion, who had been married long, and having a eonfiderable number of chil- fix between twenty-one ami thiity-five years of age. I admired that no one of j them poflcfled a horfe, or any ratcabU i property, but was informed, that by this prudent policy, the family did but twelve days annual llatutc labor on the road.— But when I viewed this fpring's atTefs lift, I rejoiced to fee fo great a reforma tion in the family, about forty days ad¬ ditional labor now cheerfully facrificed for the public weal, that had been ever withheld before. 2d. When he came to (peak of the difpolition of our former members, *• to crufh us under their feet," and infinua- ted that they fought bribes, and indif- criminately facrificed the troft wc repo- fed in them, I felt pitying emotions, be¬ lieving that the young man had been led by his paffion for promotion, into a track, that to his better experience would appear dark and uneven. 3d. I defignatc the third part of hi? fpeech from the time when, with an in- creafed elevation of v/>ice, he afTerted, " They fay that nochrillian ought to be chofen and fent to the houfe of aflembly ; bin 1 fay they ought to be men fearing God, that would Itand firm ; yea, God¬ fearing men ; for my part, before I would ihrir.k or give back, I would be put into one corner of the houle, yes, I would be put into a da^kplace^ I would nay and grind in irons, I know not how W" Now the finemty of the young man's intention at this period, I do not wifli to call In queftion, although I acknowl¬ edge that I had a fear he arrogated to himfelf the appellation of firm man and chrifiian, with but a fmall fliare of ex- periTi'entaJ knowledge of either, nor yet of his ij*n flrength to withftand the (hafts of 'ippolition, or the allurements of intereft ; alfo the animated warmth ofyouth&l vigor, even when accompan¬ ied with t5ie be ft abilities as well as in tentions, liavc frequently been oblerved to pu(h i*k) far, by which means the) have def ared their own good intentions by rot iVffieie- tly attending to that ex¬ cellent faxing, thit " the race is not for the fwift. dor the battle fill the ftrong," by which *e mayreafonably expect, that honor is W the perfevering in laudible perfuits.—The wife man faith, 4i It is not fit to fcy t<> a Kiijg, thou art wick¬ ed, nor to Princes, ye are ungodly."— Now how far the young man's fpeech may favowofa prudent attention to the above ciU't autient lemark, kftforour improvement, each of us will be likely to form t^jfc own judgments, but we tciy benefit each other by comparing pro!pi Cls ; ifbWiiJVft l1»4l fcu my upprc- henfion, till latter pait of his fpeech ap¬ pealed to b: directed intentionally to our poflious, in order to exci'e that which we otifiht io allay, in all the momentous tranfactioih of our lives. 1 /In Eft'tfor of Lenax aruil AtUlhigton Rid':ng. y June iof 1816. ! ■ CM therefore of conrfe nauil have a ■'o\v or two, for which the public 0i rieht receive a fmall tax, and hh neigh 3»ua foine affift^nce in their dulriifl load work.

ApriU l8l6-. Rev. and Dear Sir — Probably before this will reach you, yon will have heaid its folmm contents from fome other fource ; but ftill I reel it my duty to fend you a particular ac¬ count of what has taken place ; yeftcr- day the Lord vifited us with a mofl fo- lemn and afflicting Providence ; He ha* taken our venerable father from us, Yes ! bifhop Afbury is dead ! He reached the houfe of his old friend, Tohn Potts, in Mancheftei, on Saturday, ihe '6th dav of March. On Sabbath he in lifted on fpeaking to a congregation, to be convened at fouv o'clock in brother Potts' houfe.—Though it was with dif¬ ficulty he could be beard, yet he fpoke for more than an hour ; and when done, did not appear ro much exhaufted as I expefted. On Monday, though the weather was unfavorable, we crofted o- ver to Richmond and put up with broth er Raymond. On Thursday we moved to brother A. Fofter's. On Saturday, 24th, he perfilted in a rcfolution to fpeak to the congregation at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. I feared the confequenee, and urged every thing I could with pru¬ dence to diiffuade. him from it ; but he faid, God h-ad given him a work to do there, and bietmrfl deliver his tcdimony. At the time appointed he W& carried in¬ to the meet ;n^ houfe, and let in the pul¬ pit, on a> ti)blc, when he preached hi- lail fermoti, fgm Romans, rjth Chapter and 28th ve«,fe. ** For he will finiih the work aiijd cot it fhoit in righteon>- lieft; becaUife a (runt work uill the Led make upon the ca.-th." lie fpakt near an Lour-, and when done wasal i:,.ft fpent. J fowever, we let out Tuef ■lay and Tr^^dJcd twenty two miles.— Brother FO)Ae# accompanied us to our old fri-ud, Tho:r.ajCrcnfh;nvs. £zi ng much fatigued, and very unweu, ne rar. ricd here oil Wedncfday, and requelted that an appointment fhould be mndev and word fent out that there would be preaching at four o'clock in the after noon, faying, *l He witht 1 thofe that were with him to do fomcthing if he conic* int." A fmall congregation col¬ lected, to whom I preached, -but our venerable father was too unwell to come into the congregation. On Thurfday we again fct out, and travelled 20 miles, and put up with our good friend *nd brother, Edward Rou zee—hfre lie was exceedingly feeble, though cheeiful. We let out again on Friday ;brother Rouxee came feveral miles with us, and thtn took leave asom wh.o was giving up his father to die.— Wc dined at brother Hancock's and then proceeded to our •Id friend, George Ar¬ nold's, travelling mall this day, about 12 miles ; but I never law him fo much rxhaufted in travelling before. He fiid tome on Saturday morning, " Ii" thi. Ihould be as good a day as yetferday we can hardly help travelling fome.M— It however, rained,and I was not f.rry to fee it, wiftiing him to reft. Jt being propofed that we fhould ha*.'e a meeting on Sabbath,! fpakeof fending a note to a family above 5 miles off, who, it was faid would be much gratified to know it.— The Bifhop hearing it, replied,—" Yo 1 need not be in a hurry ; which wis f» nnufual a thing'for him to fay refpe«Siug meeting, efpeci-dly on the Loul'» day. that I concluded he apprehend that he would be too weak to bear the noife of I a meeting in the houfe. He (pent a very j reft lefs night, and in the morning ap¬ peared more than ufually unwell. I pro- oof*rd fending f:>r a phyfieian, the fumi'y faying that there was a I>r.Lcwis,a prac- litiouer of Eminence, about 10 or 12 miles off. He objected, faying, Pho ! u I fhall not be able to tell him whai is the master with me, and the man will not know what to do." On my urging it again, he faid " He could only pro¬ nounce me dead." 1 faid, " pvobably he could i>ive yon fomprhiug thnr would relieve y 11." Ke replied, u my breath will be goTe before he.can get here."— I faid, " 1 hope you have no appx'eheu- lion of any thing fo feriou^ taking place, have vou ?" He aniwered fc'Yes." Af- ter a while I aflccd him, *4 whether if any thing feii.jus fhould take place, he had any Word to leave with me." He faid. " he had fpoken and written i'o ful¬ ly, that it was unncceffaiy." 1 told him M tint 1 had lieard him fpeak fo fre¬ quently on the affairs of the church that ! believed I Dndcr'ftOtld Itfi feflJlffleHf* fully." He icplied M yes." After a while, aflcing the hour of the day, and being told it was nenr eleven. he aflced if it was not time For a meeting, being told that thcie were none piefeut but the family, he replied,—"' call them together, 1 want to have meeting."— They being collected, I rend what was our Icffon for the day. the 2ift chaptci of the book of Revelations; it being re¬ markable that the lafl chapter in th< Revelation, which in the couife would ha-e been lead in the evening, Ihould b< •.he leffon which fhould clofe the day (><• which he cloftd his hbgnrs. During the whole of the meeting his foul feemed much engaged, and as it was fuiy an aftedting time, he appeared much elevat¬ ed and tailed his hands frequently ir. to ken of triumph. When meeting \va* over, he called on me to read the mite fubfeuption." But being told that there were none prcfeat but the family iic faid no more. His calling for thi- to be read Ihewfl that eveti the psngs of death we»c not ab-e to wieft fioifl hitw the interefts of the miftions which lay with fo much weight on his mind. After this his voice failed, but ftiil he gave evidence that he poffelTed his tea fon to the lafl. A little before he died, finding that 1 was affected at his not be¬ ing able to lake a little barley water which 1 offered him in a tea-lpoon, he lifted up his hand towards Heaven in token that he fhould foon be there. I then afked him if Ive found that Jefus was prefent ? When he raifed both hi* hands towards Heaven with an expres fton which I (hall never forget. He then without a groan or complaint, fell aflcep in th« arms of his Saviour, at 4 o'clock on Sunday the 3 1 ft of March, eighteen hundred and fix teen. Yours with relpeit. JeteN W. Bond. Rev.
