MECIIANICSBURG.'
' For the Volunteer.
Messrs. Editors—l am sorry to trouble
you, a second time, with a communication;
more especially in regard, both to the indi
vidual concerned, and fur the purpose for
which it is Intended. The vindication of
morality and religion, and the exposition of
rank hypocrisy, alone niake my apology. To
champ the bit under a gentle application of
the moral lash, and to reply to reason with
bitter reviling, w.as not unexpected, emana
ting whence if did—upon this ground, the
intemperance of the language employed may
be excused. It was not my purpose to re
quire the self-con'ceitcd moralist to avow
himself the degraded being which he ap
pears ; it was only intended tu.protect the
Christian community from the reproach,
which must necessarily have ensued by ta
cit submission to his insincere rant.
In his replication to my remarks, abuse
has supplied, the place of .argument; self
condemnatory averments appear in answer
to mere illustrations, and angry'menaccs are
objected against undeniable facts. Was
{his course ingenuous? or was so much ask
ed? Docs candour sanction unmeasured re
proaches in answer to reason? or justice re
quire the declarations of self guilt to meet
simple forms of explanation? or frankness
allow hollow threats to supersede stubborn
truths? The feebleness of the defence and
the depravity of the avowal were indeed
startling: Vvondcr compels the question ; has
the antimasonic editor lost his reason? or has
gross debauchery (assuming his own afFirm
a(ions) wholly emasculated the'vigor of his
intellect?
The positions taken by the chaste Crabb,
are as fallacious, as his conduct through life
has been coarse and licentious. Gratuitous
ly proclaiming himself criminal of every
vice which the Christian follower must ab
hor merged in every species of. immoral
ity which dishonors liie. majesty of man— ; -a
.boaster and bold publisher of his unreclaim
ed proflgicv, he yet dares to arrogate the
prerogative .of fixing the moral standard.
Hut wherein lies the pith ol li vs defence?
■"“ If is-the voice of experience, imploring
those who are yet pure,” saith the undefiled
teacher. What experience? Is it an ex
perience, the consequence of conviction of
o-ross indecorum and lewdncss?' Is it (he
warning voice ot a reformed and renewed
being, admonishing his fellow men of the
' slimy pit ill which he "had'long wallowed ?
s4Buch is not even pretended. The profliga
cy is allowed; the reformation . not even
•claimed. Verily, the whole tenor ol his
conduct has run exactly counter to such
presumption. But lias experience wrought
a change? or tire his immoral habits correc
ted? In out a single instance, when .occa
sion offered, or persuasion succeeded, has
this sincere censor failed to indulge his in
ordinate passions or gratify his burning ap
petite; The monotony of a long unrestrain- ,
ed licentiousness has never been'inlcrrupted ■,
hv an individual mural forbearance. In a I
chain of infinite length—vice linked in vice— t
not a single ring is wanting.
And now we ask the virtuous editor, can
he expect to impose upon the public credu
lity in the presence of these facts? Can
he” believe that his cant will he taken for
else tliim cant? - Does he suppose that the
shout of “experience,” unsupported b/ cor
respond ins; action, can- tend to any result
other than the keen rebuke proclaimed aloud,
„ “thou art an hypocrite?”/' Wo- enquire,
would any man, with rational powers, con
sider sincere the whining exhortations to
temperance of the vender of (he madden
ing alcohol ? or the pathetic lamentation
about---faithless debtors of tin notoriously
dishonest bankrupt the swindler iff his
benefactor’s confidence ? or'the 'plaintive
regrets of inefficiency in the execution, of
justice upon the gambler, when made by the
publicly: known devotee of the card table?
He whucan muster sufficient credulity thus
to believe, can also ingulph the noisy flip
pancy of this modest hypocrite. But’no
man believes it; all see and feel its shal
lowness. ltds burthe vain effnrt of - iv‘ man*
struggling to shield his rottenness behind the
shadow of an hair. Ait-attempt to draw the
scanty veil over one festering sore, when it
unveils another ten fold more corrupt and
malignant.
And moreover with this intensity ,in vi
cious mdulgencc, and the unreclaimed con
tinuance therein, can the-moral pretender
be, a fit and proper instructor? . Wicked,
corrupt and depraved, above all other men ;
so far insensible to public shame as to make
an open and fearless display of the startling
intensity of his degraded nature, can he bej
a meet instrument to point to the moral)
path? Would, you have vice to instruct
virtue?.would you.expect purity “"and mo
rality to range under the, dusky pennant of
crime and debauchery?
And besides; is it possible for a man who
by his own gratuitous admissions is the de
graded Slave, of corrupt appetites, even .to
Know what virtue is? Can he who never
- learned the lessons -of. morality, who. has
ever been.the apt and indefatigable pupil of
vice, determine, or even justly estimate, the
true character of moral propriety? The
limbs racked with pains, the aching bones,
the with'ered frame, and the prostrate intel
lect may declare the inveteracy, the < xlent
and the reward of vicious devutionybut will
.never qualify either justly to appreciate or
' properly to shape the virtuous man : it may
show the. blighting keenness of sensual in
dulgence, but will never infurm'as to the
true stature of a moral creature. As well
might you expect to gather the elements of
health and vigor from the noisome ulcer of
the leper, as .truth and purity from such a
debased being, rankling, in the full luxuri
jtpcu ofa foul;deformed and unclean nature;
. ' "From these premises let. every: sensible
map -draw- his, deductions; let * him say.
•whether sincerity can enter into the compo
sition of him, who, bound in .iniquity and
crime, unreclaimed and 'irreclaimable, pre
sumes to purify the mural atmosphere, and
to watch over .the public .virtue. Besides,
jo the: name of-religion, to cloak secular de
signs and political : ,schemes, to make high
Heaven the instrument of worldly aggran-
ilizement, stamp upon the forehead' of the
divine ilisulter, itli'e high crimes of hypocrisy
and profanation. Rather let his ingratitude
for divine forbearance, the indulgence, ex
tended to his bold career of profligacy ami
undenied dishonesty, be the means ofrecal
ling, “ presume not too much on the contin
ued lenity of heaven,”'
We appeal to every candid man,and ask,
can any thing that emanates from this gloo
my sun rce claim liis belief? Can.he expect
truth to issue from a fountain in which it
never existed? „■ Can he look for aught but
perversion of facts, misconstruction of mo
tives, and malicious ascription o( uncommit
ted offences to the good & upright? Against
this self-appointed moralist, let then the
public be warned. Let them judge on the'
.authority of his own' criminal^!colorations,
what confidence ought to be placed in hyp
ocritical whims. , Let him stand or fall by
the course he has chosen to "adopt.

PORTABLE HORSE POWER,
for beauty, stability, lightncss.nnd economy are
comblhed.toH greyer extent limn in any~other
hitherto invented. Th«:,inotion is regulated to
the natural walk of the horses, and will give the
machine its proper motion with a pully on the
cylinder pbaft eight inches in. dinnulcr, Which
is of vast importance’to,prevent the band frmii
slipping, and is u good guide for a furmiT to tell
how much motion n power has. A* there arc
some persons continually talking of their im
provements, a man with half au eye, by .taking
notice of the pully can tell that it is all a hoax.
Among numerous other advantages which the
above machine possess*-* over all others now in
use are the fixtures for greasing t very part sub
ject to frictiop, every pivot having a rup sufii
ciently large to contain half a gill of oil, with a
tight cover to keep the contents perfectly clean,
which furnishes each pivot with an ample supply
of oil at all times, so that after the machine has
been, used a day or two eight hundred or a thou
sand sheaves may be thrashed without stopping
or injuring any part of the machine. The under
signed has frequently'seen more metal worn olf
in thrashing two hundred sheaves for want of oil
than would have thrashed several large crops
with proper care and During the
past year up wards of fifty of the above machines
have been sold in this and Union county, sever
al of which have been thrashing almost constant
ly during the thrashing season, and as a test of
their superior claims to durability, the cost for
repairs for the whole number has not exceeded
fifteen dollars. Notwithstanding there have
been, comparatively speaking, no repiars need
ed, yet the undersignied," so far froni following
the customary rule of taking less care to have
them well built when oncednlrnduced, has made
several important additions calculated to add
materially to the strength and durability of tho
same, but ihat hone may be under'the necessity
of j)lac s ng implicit confidence in the above slate*
