Long Haired .Men.-That most abomnina-
bic farhion-wearing long harris coming
in vogue again. We protest against it on
several ground-any one Of which ought
TO be sufficient to suppress it. In the first
place, it is unwholesome, in summer, to
keep the head in hair mattress; in the
second, Il infringes the exclusive and YES
ted rights Of the fair sex; in the third, it
is malicious towards those whose early
picty or manifold affections have brought
on premature badness; and then 1t is
scandalous in / Christian SENSE. In l649,
whilst yet the primitive manners Of the
first settlers Of The Unitsd States prevail
ed, the Governor and magistracy Of. New
Hampshire rebuked the sinful fashion in
its incipichcy; with words Of consuming
wrath. Read, all ye that would take
counsel of the upright, what the God
serving men of that day fly minated anent
the custom in question. It will be seen
that they regarded it as an invasion, no
doubt. by the enemy of mans soul:


g "For as much as the wearing of long
hair, after the manner of ruflians and bar
barious Indians, has begun to invade New
England, contrary to the code Of Gods
word, which says it is shame for man to
wear long hair, as also the commendable
costume generally o. all the godly Of our
nation until within this few years: We,
the magistrates, who have subscribed this
paper, (for the showing Of our irinocency
in this behalf,] do declare and manifest
DIR dislike and detestation against the
wearing Of such long hair, al against a
thing uncivil and unmanly, whereby men
do deform themselves and offend sober and
modest men, and do corrupt manners
We do, therefore, earnestly entreat all the
elders Of this judiciary Gas often as they
shall see cause) to manifest their zeal
against it in their public administrations,
and to take care that the members Of their
respective churches be not defiled there
with, that so such as prove obstinate and
will. not reform themselves, may have
God and man to witness against them."
