Excerpt from Essays on Peace and War: Which First Appeared in the Christian Mirror, Printed at Portland, Me;; New Series Finding myself now at leisure, and that there has been but little in your paper on the subject of Peace and War srnce my last number, I consider it to be my duty to re sume my labours. I am encouraged to do this, by information that a fulfilment of my premise has been called for, and from the fa vourable reception my essays have met with in the Northern and Middle States, where they have been frequently reprinted with marks of approbation; so that I have reason to think that my labours have not been in vain, and that I have not spent my strength for naught.
