To the PRESIDENT of the UNITED STATES. The ADDRESS of the Convention of the UNIVER SAL CHURCH, a'fembled in Philadelphia. I 790. S 1 R, PERMIT us in the name of the Society whom we represent, to concur in the numerous con gratulations which have been offered to you since your accefiion to the government of the United States. For an account of our principles we beg leave to refer you to the pamphlet, which we have now the honor ti> put into your hands. In this pub lication it will appear, that the peculiar dodtrine which we hold, is »ot less friendly to the order and happiness of society, than it is eflential to the perfe&ions of the Deity. It is a Angular circumstance in the liiftory of thisdo&rine, that it has been preached and de fended in every age, since the firft promulgation of the eofpel, but we represent the firft society profefling this doiflkine, that have formed them selves into an independent church. Posterity will hardly fail of connecting this memorable event, with the auspicious years of peace, liberty and free inquiry in the United States, whichdif tinguifhed the adrniniftration o(General Wajking ton. We join thus publicly with our afifecftionate fellow-citizens in thanks to Almighty God for the -laji of his numerous signal atftt of goodness to our country in preserving your valuable life in a late dangerous indisposition, and we affureyou Sir, that duty will not prompt us n>ore than af fe<flion to pray, that you may long continue the support and ornament of our country, and that you may hereafter fill a higher flation, and enjoy the greater reward of being a King and Priett to our God.
