THE WEYMOUTH CONSERVATIVE BANQUET
Sir,—The odium Warier* has usually been supposed to
reside in tne breast of she eceleartic. Tba reported
speeches of the Weymouth Conservative banquet of last
week give the Us to the ancient calumny, and bids us look
Um sectarian bigotry in the breast of a layman, and for
Christian caholitity in that of the clergyman. The
admirable sentiments of the Rey. & D. Mimes repeating
Nonconformists, as true in history se they were Christian
in tone, must have brought the crimson to the cheek of the
"Episcopalian Doctor," who fell beneath the dignity of his
ram& which, like her greater sister,lias orally known
no distinction among men, but has lirot her healing art
to all. It has been left to Dr. Moorhead to earn the
ignoble distinction of 'bills( out some of his fellow.
intim= for spiral honour, while, with a paltry bigotry
which IA entirely unworthy of a learned patrician, be has
refused to acknowledge the labours of others, hb fellow
citrus, to whose his religions services to the state be
was compelled to listen from the fervent lips of another,
not of themsalves. Any sharper castigation it would be
difficult to Imagine, and one does not envy the sensations
of the learned doctor, when the Rev. & D.Mus.'s resumed
his rat as • gentleman, who °ridge* values goodness
and truth far above party or owed. Well done, reverend
sir, there is still some sentare and light" left amid
our religtoos " Wherein Dr. Moorhead
failed, the Rev. S. D. Titoism admirably eneeeeded and
administered such a rebuke all the more keen that it was
undesied, which the doctor is not likely soon to forget,
nor his lay brethrea to forgive.
It would he winked to norose that in omitting all
reference to the Dissenting clergy in his some or Ina
health of the bishop and clergy of the dioceest:
" pious doctor" oonld have any design on their heal or
oould with for any professional advantage; but to
his sot of any suspicion which some Dissenting dupers
among pi might cherish, it would almost be necessary ,alter
the doctors exhibition of his sectarianism at the &foresail
advertise
neWryl,..."kmainor any iro:gice can
be
to
We shall quite expect hence ORD that Dissenting
prescripUrrall be furnished by tbie doctor, that not eve
a trifling pill win be sent out from his surgery, that the
names of all Dissenters will nenoeforth be erased from his
ledger, and that he will confine his medical talents to the
"Bishop and clergy of the direr." We are sorry Sc, the
doctor' we can only hope that he is es
insearible to logic as he appears to be to Chris-
tian good feelimbeilal charity, and shot he will
still hold his d ed sorrier or in readiness f
Dissenters as well as hotelmen, sad learn in the future
that charity whir " dor not behave trill unseemly,
sinker not her own, is not easily provoked, tbinketh no
foil. Well, all this religions bitterness and sectarian
and political animosity are lament•bis, and reit • large-
minded and died physician, whose professional
habit and training ought to lift him entirely out of any
such wretched atmosphere, should yet willingly an
amierly lend his countenance to it, is simply deplorable,
1 and almost leads one to despair of the sweetening of the
breath of the Dona, political, or religions life of the
community. If Dr. Moorhead takes this method of
revealing his indignation at the political action of
the Nonconformists, who is Dr. Moorhead, theo,
we should ask, that he or anyone else should deny
to Nonconformists the r,ght of discharging their
duty to their country and their Golf And if the noble
Zoglish people did Bing off the wretched, dishonourable,
and dishonouring policy of Toryism. whose enormous sins
and wrongs against this nation and other nations we have
not yet fully measorel,—in helping on this good work are
Nonconformist ministers to he treated as if they were
barbarians and heathens I Polars Dr. Mourheed will mend
his manners, when on another occasion be has to propose the
health of the Bishop and (Barry of the Dioceekand after the
historical solighteamoot, oe which be wee eridsatly ot
without the need, furnished bv the reverend responder
to his tort, he may have the Christian charity and the
good manners to add thersinto "The Ministers of other
Denominations," not excepting ergo our Roman Catholic
fellow.workers.

ANONYM LiNOVAol.—Narmunal Newbervi was sum-
monad for assaulting Robert Damon organ, on
Wednesday. 25th.—Mr. Morgan said Newberry came
to .him and asked him to settle with him for
mowing, when witness replied that the three
men he had employed for mowing he had
paid. Newberry said "Pay me the half-crown
they had for ale," and witness repikd—" I'll do that
directly." Went into the "Old House at Home,"
changed a 1;d1-sovereign, and sent out the money by
Critohell. Defendant then abused Critohell, sad -also
abused witness when be came out. Threatening to
give him into custody, witness went after a policeman,
and found Supt. Coward, who saw defendant away up
the Walks. l'he offence complained of was the
abusive language, for defendant did not strike him.—
Defendant said he was 11 hours at work cutting barliw,
and went and asked for his own. Critchell wee the
foreman. He did not want to go and work U hours
for nothing.—Pinintiff denied having employed defend-
ant. —Newberry said it was enough to see anyone up,
mowing 11 hours for nothing was enough to set any-
body's fur np.—The Mayor said there was no evidence
of any assault, and therefore defendant would be dis-
missed ; but he must be careful, as he had been charged
with insulting language before,
