WITH WHICH
THE " TRUE SUN " IS NOW
INCORPORATED.

LONDON :
WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 3, 1838.

At the anti-Catholic meeting held at Manchester
on Friday last, the Rev. HUGH STOWELL, of
Christ's Church, Salford, surprised his hearers with
the following remarkable statement :—" He could not
forbear adverting to one point, and that was the
subtle, subtilising disguise of Popery that was
creeping into our own Church. I do," said he,
" most solemnly bear my testimony against the Ox-
ford tracts. There is much that is good and
true in them, but they contain, disguised and
coloured, the very essence of Popery. The men who
imbibe the sentiments of those tracts are next door to
the Church of Rome, and slope the way back to the
mother of harlots." This Rev. Gentleman goes the
proper way to work—he begins at the right end—not
like Mr. M'GHEE, who, but a few months ago, could
see nothing in our Established Church but purity and
true religion, and nothing in the Catholic Church
but the slavish and anti-Christian doctrines of
PETER DENS. No Catholic ever gave this half-
political—half-religious fanatic such a cutting reproof,
and never was there a more fitting application of the
sacred injunction, " Thou hypocrite, first cast out the
beam out of thine own eye ; and then shalt thou see
clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye."
We have long held the same sentiments, being firmly
convinced that more danger was to be apprehended to the
Protestant Reformed religion from the conduct and doc-
trines of such men as the Bishop of EXETER and the
Rev.RoBERT M'GHEE than from all the machinations
of Mr. O'CONNELL and the Popish priesthood of
Ireland; and, full of this conviction, we ventured to
foretel that the day was not distant when the real
friends of the Protestant Church would meet in
Exeter Hall to inveigh against the Popish doc-
trines and the Popish practices that still so much
abound in that Establishment. We have not yet
had. meetings in Exeter Hall for that purpose,
but " coming events cast their shadows before," and
this meeting at Manchester we regard as one of the
fcrzerunners of that great undertaking by which our
Church is to be purified. There are a vast number
of pious, sincere Christians in this Protestant commu-
nity who begin to be alarmed, and with reason alarmed,
at the Popish doctrines contained in the Oxford tracts,
at the spiritual supremacy claimed by some of the
heads of the Church, and at the eternal wranglings of
both, in and out of Parliament, about the secular power
and wealth of the Church, about the " tithe of mint
and anise and cumtnin, omitting the weightier matters
of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith." They begin
to see that our Church is not half reformed, and that
it contains nearly all the seeds of that bitter fruit which
compelled our ancestors to rise up against the doctrine
and practices of the Romish hierarchy. The love of
money, the root of all evil, which paved the way for the
Protestant religion, is still cherished with as much fer-
vour by our Bishops, Deans, and Prebendaries, as in
the old Catholic times. We keep up the staff of the
Catholic Church to Pon erf
poison
perform in our Cathedrals daily
service, which no p
cares about or attends. The
teachers of our religion
look up to the Catholic
Church as the prototype of r the
mit ordination as valid, by whatrotestant, and ad-
Mr. STOWELL
calls the " mother of harlots," while they re-
ject the rite of ordination
by any reformed Church.
These resemblances, with many others we could men-
tion, begin to open the eyes of all who are not politi-
cally blind to the faults of the Establishment, and are
for a Reform agitation
preparing the way , Whi
STOWELL and Mr. M the colleagues of MM r.
M'GHEE, at Manchester, have auspiciously began.

Among the articles of our Morning Contempora-
ries, under the head of " Spirit of the Public Jour-
nals," will be found one from the Chronicle of this
