811,—The spirit of fairness which has charecterist d
the articles in the Express when treating of Wes-
matters, inducts the hope that you will permit
sae who takes a deep interest in the movement to
effir a few observations in reply to your article of
Friday last.
The question as to whither the ejected ministers
are the martyrs of high principle, or recusants upon
whom the conference has rxercie:d a stern bat man_
wry discipline, is not at present the topic of discus-
sion; it is pretty generally admitted that to circulate
or patronise anonymous and degrading charges
against one's colleagues, and afterwards to 'hunk
from avowing or denying them, is neither a very
amiable nor Christ:on act, and leaves the party in power
no alternative but that of declining further con-
nexion with those who have forfeited their confidence.
But I come to the charges, first, of localisation, whi
with many very of noire and corroding circum-
stantial. was preferred in a ese "Fly Sheer.' Is
this charge true of the governing body of Wesleyan
Methodism ? "Mr. Wesley," to quote your own
words, " said the world is my parish,' he used prayers
and tsars, and for Ood's slice as well es his own en-
treated hie brethren and the helpers which his. seal
had grouped around him, not to give up the system
of • itinerancy." "Itis a shame, said be, " for any
Methodist preacher to confine himself to one thee, he
never travelled less than 4,300 miles a year. Now
the charge of localisation is levelled chiefly against
the missionary secretaries, but especially against Dr.
Bunting. The society over which the Rev. Dr. may
be said to preside had, properly speekieg, no existence
in Mr. Wesley's day, but at present its operations are
spread over the habitable globe, it comprises 3M sta-
tions, and every one of its ecnedited agents is con-
stantly itinerating; moreover, they are required to
correspond monthly, or es often as convenient, with the
went society respecting every variety of circum-
stance connected with their own temporal and spiri-
ted well-being and that of their flocks. Monthly such
of their correspondence as is calculated for public
noefulnes is pablished in a serial work, most
extensively read and highly valued by the patrons
and subscribers to the society. Oyer all these opera-
tioos are placed four secretaries; they collect and
disbene an income averaging 110,0001 per. annum.
One of these gentlemen was almost the originator of
the society ; he has travelled more miles to enrich
its hada than would twice circle the glebe, preaching
hundreds of sermons to arouse the people to a sense
of its Meadow.; and so sensible are the members
and committee of the incalculable vales of his sure
vices, that for about fifteen years peat he has base
pemodisally sleeted to the office be holds. On all
hands he is admitted to be one oldie abbot, if not the
eery ablest man the society possesses. But he bees
as Imam ! and this is charged as an oases against
the pissiple of itinerancy, and Mr. Wesley's example
is quoted es against localisation. Why Mr. Wesley's
tome was in London ! Look at the old minutes of
soofereece and you will find his name* set down
year after year for that locality, and this wee quite
consistent with his principle of itinerancy, and he tra-
velled, year by year, some thousands of miles; so bee
Dr. Bunting. I will not attempt the enumeration oT
his multiplied labours—l am not his eulogist; but
take the last few years as an example. Though
now more than seventy years of ark and
somewhat infirm - body, one Sabbath he
is found at Bath, another at Davit, thee.

Scotland ; while another of the maligned sarit

towns and cities of Great Britain and Ireland within

labouring every day and preaching on Bundiiii,
itinerating as mremsstanoss require. easitnerhlle keep-
ing the whole machinery of this great society in
constant and harmonicas operation. So mush, then,
Mr. Editor, for the charge of localisatioo. The
conduct of affairs by the sersionary eseretarlai is to
my mind, and I trier will appear to the miwtof
