An entertaining and predictably pious letter mentioning the "rappers" a reference to the spiritualism movement started by the Fox sisters that had gripped upstate New York and eventually the entire country in the mid 19th century with a thinly veiled ant-semitic reference to Satan having a "synagogue" in Liberty. Further on in the our letter Petrie turns his attention to his congregation in New Jersey and relates the tale of a soldier of fortune that has become a "soldier of the cross."<br/><br/>Reading in part: "I received a letter from Mr. Boyd this week. He tells me the rappers are still in full blast & I am afraid they have prevented much good from being done this winter & spring. It is melancholy to think how busy Satan is to delude & destroy unstable souls & that even professors of religion can be found among his most successful agents but it is & the devil is never more likely to deceive than when he transforms himself into an angel of light. It grieves me much that he has a synagogue in Liberty. Our church continues to grow gradually at our communion last . week 8 were added . one of them was a man 70 years of age. He had been a soldier in Napoleon's army in Spain Portugal Prussia & etc. & was taken a prisoner by the English & was in prison a whole year. On condition of fighting against this country he was liberated & came here as a soldier he soon deserted & joined the American Army in which he served till peace was proclaimed. He then settled a few miles from this place in Washington Valley & I hope at the eleventh hour has become a soldier of the cross."<br/><br/>Rev. James Petrie was born in Perthshire Scotland in 1814. He came to the US in 1831 and in 1833 entered Princeton College graduating from the college in 1836 and from the Theological Seminary in 1839. He was installed as the first pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Liberty Sullivan County New York in 1840 and remained there for 12 years before being installed as the first pastor of the newly established Presbyterian Church in Pluckamin Somerset County New Jersey in 1852. Petrie resigned due to ill health in 1856 and moved to Jersey City. He continued to preach throughout New Jersey until his death in 1886 in Plainfield. unknown books

Contemporary plain wrappers stitched light wear and fox. 14 2 pp. Good to Very Good. <br/><br/> New Jersey's Constitution "the constitution of the revolution.was adopted on the second day of July 1776 and is therefore two days older than the Declaration of Independence." The Committee discusses the function of a Constitution which is "the source of all political power the fountain of all government" setting "fundamental" rules of conduct "bounds" to governmental action and guarantees to "publick liberty" by separation of governmental powers. Though power resides in the people the Committee rejects universal suffrage-- which would include "women children negroes mulattoes paupers slaves convicts"-- as "visionary impossible absurd." The Committee considers several other issues involving the appropriate branch of government to make judicial appointments and to exercise the duties of a judicial Chancellor. <br/>OCLC 8685087 2.
