papers and the exulting replies of bishops, that this move.

strengthened the established church, by rousing the national '
protestantism, and awakening dormant sympathies for is

alarm which is ...peened. The late measure is ridiculed as I
powerless, as effete, as tending only to the overthrow of '
popery in England. Then act on We conviction ; show that
you believe in it; give us the little odds of a title, vehiu h '
bestews no power, rank, wealth, or influence, on him that
heals it, and keep undisturbed those ether realities, and let
the issue be tried on there terms, so much in your favour.
Let it be a fair contention, with theologies! weapons and fair
arguments. If you prevail, and aft °linty ie eatieguieiled

bare Ines achieved by the power of the Spirit, and not by
the arm of Meth : it will prove your coin to be divine. But
if, is spite of all your present advantage, our religion does
advance, does win over to it the learned, the devout, and the
charitable-does spread itself widely among the poor and
simple-then you will not cheek its progress by for iddiog a
catholic bishop to take the tide of Heaham or et Clifton.
But it will be no doubt said, that m my who do not greatly
sympathise with the establishment are indignant at the late
meager, not because catholic, have obtained a hierarchy,
but Leases its appointment is the work of the Pope. This
interference of Home has aroused so much public feeling.
Let us then inquire into this point.

We have seen the', not only we possess a full right, by
law, to be goverued by bishops, bat that we have an moil
right to be governed by them semeding to the proper and
pretest farm of episcopal government, that is, by bishops ia
ordinary, having their sees and titles in the country.
If we have • perfect right to all this, we b.ve no less a per-
fect right to employ the only means by which to obtain it.
We have seestkat satholies en allowed by law to eosin-
tria the Pope's supremacy in ecclesiastical end relioiour
matter; and one point of that supremacy is, that he
alone can constitute • hi by or appoint bishops.
Throughout the catholic world this is the same. Even
where the oohs power, by en amegement with the
Pope, name", that is propose, • person to be a bishop,
ke cannot be consecrated without the Pope's coefirmatien
or acceptance; and if cooserrated already, he can have no
power w perform say functions of his office without the
same sanction
If therefore the catholic' of this country were ever to have
• hierarchy at all, it could only be through the Pope. He
alese meld grant it.
This is no new or unknown e'octrine : it has long been
thesilier to our statesmen, as well as to every one who has
lathed catholic principles.
Lord John Russell, in his speech in the Hones of Com.
Moos, August 6,11146, thus fiensibly speaks rope the subject;
—" Tome is another Offanee of introducing a Ball of the
Pope into the country. The question is, whether it is de.
"treble to keep up that, or any other penalty for suck ea
°neer. It does not appear to me, that we ran possibly
attempt to p' the introduction of the Pope's bulls into
this country. There are certain bulls of the Pope which are
absolutely necessary for the appointment of bishops and
pastors belonging to the Roman catholic church. It
would he quite impossible to Meant the introduction
such bulls.' 1
Lord Chancellor Lyndhurst; "They tolerated the ca-
thode prelates, end they know that these prelates could not
cony on their church establishments, or etieduct its diked.
phut, without holding communication with the Pope of
Rome. No Roman catholic bishop could be created without
the authority of a bull from the Pope of Rome ; and many
of the obseresetre of their church required the seas ease.
des. The moment, therefore, that they sanctioned the
observance of the Roman catholic religion in this country,
they by implication allowed the communication (with the
Pope) prohibited by this statute, and for which it imposed
ike peaelties of high treason. If the law allowed the elon
trines and dicipline of the Roman catholic church, it
should be permitted to be carried on perfectly and pro-
perly ; end that could not be without such conliesnice
ties. On these grounds be proposed to repeal the mt.":
(13'b Elie.)
Three qaotations prove that in both houses of parliament
the principle has been clearly laid down, that if catholic' ere
to have bishops at all, the Pope, and the Pope 'Joao, ma
make them for tram. Then it enters as completely fete the
piaci lee of religious liberty th it the Pope eh old tease the
hieresoby, as that catholic, should have the right to powers
oree—s rieht as necessary for them, se is for the Wesleyan'
thot of having conferences with superintendents.
But it may be "aid, what induced the Pope to appoint this
hierarchy now, sad in so sadden a meaner?
For an answer to this question I mast refer you to my in-
troduction, is which you will ILA I trust, a satistactory one.
Is. will see that the Pope has finally grouted now to
aallhekie childnn in Rogleud what they had petlioned fee
mail **deed three jean ago; and that if halt the attention
WI been paid to our affairs then, which they receive now,
lbe /labile would have known, all about it. I will only
ripest whet I have there okeerved; that, in what bee beam
done, the Pope has entirely acre 1, not only in meardases
with the wishes, but at the earnest petition of his rises
arstolic, and has seconded • warm dunes of the great body
of catholic, in England.
Let me then sum up briefly what I have proved thus far.

But it will be said, that though we, the catholic*, may have

This is indeed a delicate question ; and yet it must be
woaa. Ivory address and every reply of bishop* and clergy
beetimes that the royal prerogative has been availed.
Bat this is nothing ceminered with the address to her Ma-
laity by some hundred members of the bar, to the effect Mat
by this en " a foreign potentate has interfered with
her Majesty's undoubted preropetive, end has assumed the
right ot nominating bishops and archbishops in then rules
sad of conterriag on them territorial sank end jurisdle•ios."
Ore suppallti that thom who sig.ttd this enteno-
rial, being protessi.n ,lly learned is the Law. have studied
the question—have come to a deliberate conclusion as to
the truth of their assertion. On ordinary occasions one
would bow to so overwhelming an authority ; on the pre-
sent, I think we shill not be wrong in demurring to its
award.
There is one point which I would beg respectfully to tog-
oat to the consideration of persons better versed in law than
lam.

Lately suds, after mature consideration, the Holy Bee liee
formed a new rulesiuttcal province in the West ladies, by
which al titun•apoatoltc have been appointed Whops

But there hie bus a more remarkable indium of the
rinds, of the papal supremacy in the erection at hishopriee
surer home. Galway wu not an episcopal sea till a Sew

appointed the Right Nev. Dr. Brown since translated to
Blphin, first bishop of that diocese : Balton Brown was eon-
tweeted Oct. 23, 1831. No remonstrance was made, no
Outcry raised, at this exercise of papal power.
Bat to return to our colonies ; it had come to pees, that
with the exception of India, hardly a viemapostolie
was loft in tole foreign p isarsione. Far am I
from blaming the sowed policy of successive edminie-
trations, which had men the practical inconveniences
of a half-toleration, and si mi.!, cognition, where
friendly official intercourse and co-operation was necessary%
Bat I may ask, is it mytitiag unreasonable, tztravagent,sull
more, "insolent and insidioue," in :he catholic, of Ragland,
to have sought and obtained what insignificant dependeocits
bad received ? hieny of the bishops of the new &some' had
scarcely a dozen ries'', and but scattered ducks, generally
poor emigrants. And could it be eupposid, that they in-
tended to remain fur eye, in a temporary or provisonal state,
when they possessed not only stately churches, eight or ten
great and generally bean iful colleges, and many extensive
chari.able institutions, but nearly six hundred public churches
or chapels, and eight hundred clergy ; and when they
reckoned in their body some of the moat illustrious, sad
most distinguished men et the country ? But, moreover, the
increase of bi.hops, from four to eight, was already found to
be insufficient, and it was become expedient to increase
it to melee or thirteen. Now, an episcopate of thirteen
vicars a; ostolic, without of course a meth poiitan, would
have been an anomaly, en irregularity, without parallel in
the church. Was it then ticmethiag ao unnatural and
monstrous in us to call for what our colonies had received,

to toil document, and in many other similar ones, in-
eluding the Premier's letter, the Pope's sets are spoken of as
real, and taking eff,ot. The P..pe he. 'named a right,"
he "has parcelled out the land;' ha "tees named arch- I
Hawes and b"hops." I', according to the oath takee by
•on embolic", the Pope notonly ought not to have, loot really
" hae" not prewar or thrisdimion "spiritual or ecclesiser teal "
in these witless, it follows that, according to them, the Pope's
ecclesiastical anti with regard to England are mere nullities,
and are "spired to have no exi.tence. It is as though the
Pope had not spokes, and had not issued any document.
To set otherwise is to recognise au dirket sat of power on
his part.
I am confirmed in this view by Lard John Ruwell's ex-
planation cf the protestant oath. "The oaths now taken
aro not altered. We shall continue to take the oath, that
'the Pope bee not; &t ; though at the some tiara there is
so doubt, in point of fact, that he exercises a spirituel
authority in these teem.. I have always integrated the
oath to be, that, in the opinion of the perste taking it, the
Pope has not any jnrledicti as which can be enforced by law,
ee ought not to Save."• Awarding to this test, the Pope
(permissively, at least) does excretes a spiritual juriedietiou
la Roglsod, and is within the limits of that toleration,
so -long as he does rot exercise • jurisdiction
which can be enforced by law, or purport' et or
shaming to be a jurirlictiom enforceable by law. Now,
no one for • moment imegin.s that the Pope, or the catho-
lies of Beglsed, or their bishops, dream that the ap-
pointment of the h. by can he " enlianed by 1.. w."
They 11. have it to be as act altogetht r ignored by the law ;
an act of spiritual juriedietion, only to be enforced upon the
constieoc.s of thew who acknowledge the papal suprenescy
by their conviction and their faith.
Has this assumption of titles been within the terms of the
law ? Is there an law forbidding the assumption of the
title of trabop ? A. retain Dr. Dillon assumed it, and
ordained what be called presbyters, nod no ,ne thought or
prosecuting him. The Moravian" have bishops all over
Eogland ; and ea have the Irvingites, or Amistulicals ; let
no or • taxes them with illeplity. Then our takieg the title
of bishops merely, constitetes no idgrality. le there any
law thet Icrbide our taking the title from any place not
berth,: awe of an Anglican bisbcp ? No one can say that
then is.

Then I ask those more learned in the law.tban myself, can
&A Set 01 • 11111• Ct of her Meet Gracious lii.jesty, which
by law be is perfectly conspetest to do, be au infringement
of her royal preresst,ve ? If not, then I trust we may con.
elude that by ibis new creation of catholic bishops that pre-
r votive has not been violated.
No sae &oasts that the bishops so appointed are Roman
catholic bishops, to rule over Roman catholic flocks. Does
the crown elms the right, coder its prerogative, of naming
each bishops?
It will he said that no limitation of jariediction is made
I. tM ppal document, no rerriction of its ezercis, to
eatt slice ; and hence Lord Jobs Rumen and others conclude
that there Is in this brief " • pretension to supremacy over the
realm of En.land, and a claim to sole and undorided sw.y."
Every cEcial document has Its proper forms; and had those
who blame the tenor of th's token any pals to examine
those of Papal documents, they wokil have f Fund nothing
new or unusual in this. Whittier the Pope a: pinta a pee-
s°. Vicar epcstolic or bishop in ordinary, 'neither cue be
@miens him a territorisl ecclesiastical jurisdiction, and g.
his no personal limitations. Tots is the ramie gm
' of every
church which believes in its awe truth, and in its duty el
sooversion. What has !via done in this brief, has hems
done in every one ever ironed, whether to create a hierarchy,
or to appoint • bishop.

r bad we say reason to anticipate, tl.at the act would have
been characterised in the team which I do not love to

repeat.
2. But further, considering the manner in which acts of
the royal supremacy had been exercised abroad, end taking
it for greeted that it could not be greater when exercised in
for. Gen catholic cos.- tries than the Popes in our regard, we
could not sappeis that his appoioment of catholic bishops
in ordinary in Ragland, would have been considered as more
" incoasistent with the Qaeon'sj supremacy," than that emu-
cies was considered " ineonsirent with the Pope's 'epee
mace" acknowledged in those countries. I will refer my
readers to Mr. Bowyer's pamphlet publiehed by Ridgway,
for detail- of what I will briefly state.
Ia 1842 her blejewiy was advised to tree., and did erect
(5 Vitt., a. 6), a Bishopric of J .russiem, ongoing to it a
diocese, in which the three great Patriarchates of Antioch,
Jerusalem, and Alent.dria were mashed lit° one see, Muth,
episcopal jurisdiction over Syria, Cheldea, Egypt, and
Abyssinia, sahje ct to further limitations or alterations at the
royal will. No one supposes that, for instance, the consent I
of the King of Abyssinia, to which there is not • single
protestant congress ion, was ask..d. Mr. Beeper also
shows that Bishop Alexander was not sent merely to British
',thieve, bat to others towing no alogince to the crown of
Ergland. Suppose his Majesty cf Abyssinia, or the Emir
Beehir, bad pronounced this to be an intrusion " inconsistent
with the rights of bishop' and clergy, and with the spiritual
independence of the nation," how much would this country
have cued ?
Under the same statute, a Bishop of Gibraltar was named.
His see was in a British territory ; but it. jurisdiction e
tended over Malta—where there was a Boman catholic
archbishop, form•lly recognised by our government as the
Bishop of blislta--snd over Italy.
Under this commission Dr. Tomlinson cfficiated in Rome,
and, I undentand, had borne before him a cross, the emblem
of archiepiscopal jurisdiction, as if to ignore in his very
diocese the acknowledged "Bishop of flume." Ile t0:1-
firmed and preached there, without leave of the lawful
bishop ; and jet the newspapers took no notice of it, and
the pulpits did not donne* him. But, in fur, the statute
under which th se things were done, is so comprehensive
that ft empowers the Archbishops of Canterbury or York
to consecrate not only British subjects' but subjects
and citizens of any foreign state, to be bishops in any
foreign country. No consent of the respective eovernments
is required; and they are sent not only to British subjects,
but to "suet other protestant congregations as may b.• dui-
thus of placing thernselve under Lis or their authority."
If, therefore, the royal supremacy of the English crown I
could thus lawfully exercise s self, where it never has befogs
exercised authority, and where it is not. recognised as is a
catholid country —if the Quern, le head of the 'English
church, can send bishops into Abyssinia and Italy, surely
esthetic* tied good right to suppose that, with the full
toleration granted them, and the permitted exude, of papal
supremacy in their behalf, no less would be permitted to
them, without comers or rebuke.
3. But not only had embolic' every ground to feel
justified by what had been elsewhere dons before, doing the
same when to themselves seemed expedient, without their
set, any tome than preening ones, being characterised as we
have seen, but positive declarations and public usurances led
them to the um. conclusion.
In 1841, or 1842, when, for the first time, the Holy
See thought of erecting a hierarchy in North America,
I was commissiond to sound the feelings of govern-
ment on the subject. I came up to London for the pur-
pose and saw the Under-Secretary for the Colonies, of
which Lord Stanley was the Secretary. I shall not easily
forget the urbaaity of my reception, or the interesting con.
venation that took plan, in which much wee spoken to me
which has finer come literally true. But on the subject of
my mission, the answer given was something to this effect:
• What dors it matter to as what you tall yourselves,
whether vican.spostolic, or bishop*, or mufti, or Mamas,
so that you do not ask us to do anything for you. We have
no right to prevent you taking any title among yourselves."
This, however, the distinguished gentleman allueed to
observed was his private opinion, and he desired me to mil
ia a few days after. I did so, and he asseired me that, having
laid the matter before the head of the deprunest, the
I answer was the same uhe had before given me. I wrote it
to li into, and it served, no doubt, as the basis of the nomi-
nation of bishops in ordiosry in North America. I have se
d iubt the documents referring to this transaction will be
found in the Colonial-Au. In the debate on the Catholic
R list Bill, July 9, 1845, Lord John Russell, then in coppoei-
, lion, spoke to the following effect He, for one, was pre.
wed to go into committee on these clause. of the Aet of
1829. He did not mthat be was at once prepared to repeal
all those clause", but lie was willing to go into committee to
deliberate on the subject. He believed that they might re-
peal tho • disallowing clauses, which preveated a Roman
catholic bishop assuming • title held by a bishop of the
Established church. He could not conceive my good ground
for the continuums of this restriction.".l. It mast be ob-
d that there is nothing in the context which limits then
sensible and liberal words to Ireland. They apply to the
repeal of the whole clause, which, as we have sees, extends
equally to both countries.
What his lowish* had said in 1E45 he deliberately, and
even more strongly, mean:red the following year. In the
debate on the first midis' of the Roman Catholie Relief
Bill, Feb. 6,1846, he referred to his speech, just quoted, of
the preceding session, is the following terms:
" Allusion having been made to him (by Sir R. Inglis),
he wished to my a few words as to his former declare
tion, 'that he was not ready at once to repeal these
law. without consideration.' Last ''wins he had voted
for the committee, but had reeerved to himself the
tight of weighing the details. It appeared to him that
teen was one part of the question that had not
been aufneintly attended to : the measaret of govern-
ment, as tar as it was stated last year, did not effect that
relief to the Roman eathelics from • law by which they were
punished, both for assuming episcopal titles in Ireland, and
for belonging to certain religious orders. That part of the
subject required interference by the legislature. As to pre-
irentieg penoas simming particular title., nothing could be
more absurd ea puerile than to keep up such a distinction.
He had aim the streogeet objection to the law which nine
Jesuits ia mei. mese abject to transportation; the enact
meat woe ge bailment as it was inefikocious, and it was

I have already alluded to Lord Minto's being shown the
brief for the hierarchy, printed about two years ago. The
eiremistmes may have escaped his memory, or he may not
at the time have attended to It, having MOM impatient
matters la his mind. Bat as to the fact that his attention
wee celled to it, and he made no reply, I can haven() doubt.
I trust, therefore, that I have said enough to prove that

Unfortunately, it is difficult to abreast ont's mind from the

parts of the letter on which I would here refrain from vim-

securities which can hardly be believed to be heartily

Meowed, and supported, and (Mowed for years, we may he
spurned and cast off he first moment that popularity de-
mands us es its price, or bigotry is its victim.
But to proceed—eo little was I, on my part, aware that
such feelings as that letter disclosed, existed in the head of
our government on the Wise of the hierarchy, that, having
occasion to write to his lordship on tome business, I took
the liberty of continuing my letter as fellows:—

" Ms LOID,—I cannot but most deeply regret the
erroneous and even distorted view which the English papers
have presented, of what the Holy See has done in regard
to the spiritual 'oversew nt of the esthetics of England.
But I take the liberty of stating that the measure row

years ago, and a enpy of it was shown to Teed 111.n.0 by

I give this letter because it will show that there wee
eothing is my mind to prepare me for that warm expression
of feeling that was manifested in the Premier's letter;
which, though it appeared a day or two before mine reached
him, I met cessider as my only reply. Asd Ido sot think
that the tone of my letter will be found to indicate the
existence of any insolent or imsfeious design.
It is my duty, therefore, now to show calmly and die-
passionately, and apart from any party feelings, the remits
which led me and others to baileys that no reasonable
objection could exist to our obtaining the organisation of our
hierarchy in Ragland.
L It wit notorious not only that in Ireland the catholic
hierarchy had bees reoopised and even royally bonneted,
but that the same form of ecclesiastical government had bees
gradually extended to the greater part of our colonies.
Australis was the first which obtained this advantage b, the
direction of the Archiepiaoops, See of Byclary, with stiffes-
tet Maitland, Hobart-town, Adelaies, Perth, Mel-

to Its adoption. I must observe, that wording to the
discipline of the catholic church, a bishop's title meet be
from a town or city. Originally almost every village or
small town had its bishop, as appear. from the history cf the
Anglian church. Bat a town or city a bishopric must will
be; a territorial" title is never given. Thus in Von
Diemen's Land, while the Anglican bishop takes his title
of Tiastania from the territory, the catholic derives his
of Robert Town from the town. In re establishing a
oath< lio hierarehy in England, It was natural and decorous
that its metropolitan should have his eee at the capital.
This has been the rule at all times; thatch of coarse those
I capital* may decay into provincial towns, without losing
dish. privilege. The very term ki,tropo'itan, signifies
the bishop of the Metropolis. This being the prin•
eiple or basis of every IS' hy, how was it to be acted on
here ? London was a title inhibited by la.: Southwark
ass to form • separate see. To have taken the title cf a
•

subordinate pertiown of what forms the peat conglomerate of
London, as Finsbury, or Islington, would have been to out
ridicule, and open the door for jeers upon the oe w episcopate.
Besides, none of those are towns or cities. Westminrer
naturally sugpested itself, as a city unoccupied by any An.
glican see, and giving an honourable and well-known metro.
politan title. It was consequently 'fleeted, anti I can sincerely
s►y, that I had no part whattver in the selection. Bat I I
rejoice that it was chosen, not because it was the seat of the
eourts of law, or of parliament, or for any such purpose, ►at
because it betegs the real point mire clearly and strikingly
before our opponents ; Have we in saythieg started contrary
to law? And, if not, why are we to be blamed 1"
But lam glad also for another reason. The chapter of
Westminster has been the Bret to protest egotist the new
archiepisoopst title, as though some practical attempt at
jurisdiction within the abbry was intended. Then let me

give thou assurance on that point, and let us tome to a fair
division end a good nudentar.ding.
The diocese, indeed, of Westminster embraces a large dis-
trict, but Westminster proper consists of two very different
parts. One comprises the stately abbey, with its adjacent
palaces and its royal park'. To this portion the duties and
occupation of the dean and chapter are m►inly confined ;
and they shall range there undisturbed. To the venerable
old church I may repair, as I have been wont to do. But
perhaps the dean and chapter are not aware that, were I
disposed to claim more than the right to tread the catholic
pavement of that noble building, and br• athe its sir of
ancient conorscration, another might step in with a prior
claim. For escoessive generations there has existed ever, in
the Beuedictine order, an abbot of Westminster, the repre-
sentative, in religieua dignity, of those who erected and
beautified and governed that church and cloirter. Have
they ever bean oisturbed by this " titular 1" H►ve they
heard of any claim or protest on his part touching their Wm.
poralities ? Then let them fear 'no greater aggression now.
Like him, I may visit, as I have said, the old abbey, and say
my prayer by the shrine of good St. Edward, and meditate
on the oldeu timet, when the church filled without a corona.
Lion, and multitude. hourly worshipped without a service.

But in their temporal rights, or their quiet possession of
aey dignity end title, they will not suffer. Whenever I go
in, I will pay my entrance-fee, like ober liege subjects, and
resign myself meekly to the guidance of the beadle, and
listen, without rebuke, when he points out to my admira-
tion detestable monuments, or shows me • hole in the wall
for a confessional. Yet this splendid monument, its tree.
sures of art, and its fitting endowments, form not the p •rt
01 Westminster whit* will concern me. For there is ano •
they part which stands in frightful contrast, though in imme-
diate contact, with this magnificence. In ancient times, the
existence of an abbey on any spot, with a large staff of clergy,
and ample revenues, would have sufficed to create
around it a little paradise of comfort, cheerful-
ness, and ease. This, however, is not now the
case. Close under the Abbey of Westminster there
lie concealed labyrinths of lanes and courts, and alleys and
slaw, nests of ignorance, vice, depravity, and crime, as well
es of squalor, wretchedness and drew; whose atmosphere
is typhus, whose ventilation is cholera: in which swarms •
huge and almost couutless popeletion, in great measure
nominally at least catholic ; haunts of filth, which no sew-
age committee can reach—dark corners which no lighting
board can brighten. This is the part of We.tmiuster which
alone 1 covet, and which 1 shall be glad to claim and to visit
as • blessed pasture in which sheep of holy church
are to be teeded, in which a bishop's godly work
has to be done, of consoling. converting and pre.
serving. And if, as I humbly trust in God it
shall be seen, that this special coltate,srising from the sue
tabliehmeat of our hierarchy, been fruits of order, peaceful-
ness, decency, religion, and virtue, it may be that the Holy '
See shell not be thought to Dave acted unwisely, when
it bound up the very soul and salvation of • chief pastor with
thews of a city, where the name indeed is glorious, but the
purlieus infamous—in which the very grandeur of its public
edifices is as • shadow, to screen from the public eye sin and
misery the most appalliog. If the wealth of the abbey be
stagnant and not diffusive, jilt in no way rescue the neigh-
bouring population from the depths in which it is sunk, let
there be no jealousy of any one who, by whatever name, is
read) to make the latter ha are, without interfering with
the former.
I cannot conclude without one word on the pert which
the chip of the Anglican church have acted in the late
excitement. Catholics have been their principal theo-
logical opponents, and we have carried on our con-
troversies with them temperately, and with every
personal consideration. We have had no recourse to
popular arts to debase them ; we have n attemoted,even
when the current of pubic feeling has set against them, to
turn it to advantage by joining in any outcry. They are
I cot our members who yearly all for returns of sinecures or
episcopal incomes ; they are not our people who form anti •
church and state associations; it is not our press which sends
' forth caricatures of ecclesiastical dignitaries, or throws
eule on clerical avocations. With us the cannot truth and
of faith has been held too sacred to be advocated in any but
honourable and religious modes. We have avoided the tor.
molt of public assemblies and farthing appeals to Vie
ignorance of the multitude. But no sooner has an ripper.
tunity been gives for awakening every lurking passion
against us, than it has been eagerly seised by the
ministers of that establishment. The pulpit and the plat-
form, the chureh and the town-hall, have been equally their
field of labour; and speeches have been made, and untruths
uttered, and calumnies repeated, and flashing words of die-
dein, end anger, and hate, and contempt, and of every
unpriestly, and unchristian, and unholy sentiment have been
spoken, that could be said spinet those who almost alone
have treated them with respect ; and little care was taken at
what time, or in what circumstances, these things were done
If the spark had fallen upon the inflammable materials of a
gunpowder-treason mob, and made it explode, or what was
worse, had ignited it, what cared they ? If blood had been in-
flamed, and SUM uplifted, and the torch in their grasp, and
flames bad been enkindled, what heeded they ? If the persons
of those whom consecration makes hot), even according to
;heir own belief, had been seized, like the Austrian generals,
and ill-treated, and perhape maimed or worse, what reeked
they ? These very things were, ore and all, poisted at as
glorious 'Mos, should they take plate, of high and noble
protestant feeling in the land, as proofs of the prevalence of
as unpermouting, a free inquiring, • tolerant gospel creed !
