servatives, whatever that may be. How t should re-
joke if the Conservatives, on the other hand. would, in
their turn, contrive and so wrest the mcaeure from their

grasp, thereby gaining for their cause, in all time e,,ming,
the affections of the Church and people of Scotland l"
Had not some parts of this interesting corre,
spondence been suppressed—to Avoid, it is said,
too great an exposure and embroilment—we should,
no doubt, have found more violent evidence,
stronger v:e do not want, of the Rev. Doctor's
freedom from " political views," and further proofs
of the " elasticity" of his sentiments on the question
of Non-Intrusion.

Lord ABERDEEN, however, was too old a stager
to he taken in by the Doctor. He would not be
cajoled by his flattery, nor bribed by the hope of a
perpetual fraternity between Toryism and the Kirk,
into an acknowledgment of the great doctrine of
ecclesiastical independence. He stuck to his prin-
ciples, unreduced by the example of elasticity set
him by a Presbyterian divine, and laid his Bill
upon the table of the House of Lords. The As-
sembly met, and the fury of the Non-Inn usionists
knew no bounds. Dr. CHALMERS denounced the
Bill in his usual extravagant language, and com-
pared its author to IiEHoBoAm, the son of
NEBAT, who made Israel to sin. The 13111, we
thought at the time, and, we think so still, was
quite unnecessary, but at all events it served the
purpose of testing the sincerity of Dr. CHALmEtts
and his party.
Had they been honest in their professions they
would have accepted it with thankfulness, for it
carries out their ostensible principle. What does
Lord ABERDEEN, in effect, say ? This :—" I
am as adverse as you, Dr. CHALMERS, can he to
Intrusion, properly so called, but I think there
should be some check upon the undue exercise of
your Non-intrusion principle. You have so con-
trived it that the greatest injustice may be commit-
ted without the least respons:bility being incurred.
You give the right cf rejecting a presentee to a
very small portion of the congregation at their ab-
solute will and pleasure, and you give the Presby-
tery no alternative but to give effect to their veto.
Thus neither Presbytery nor people are responsible
for their acts. Now, what I propose is this
will accompany your principle of Non-Intrusion with
the principle of responsibility. You say the majo-
rity of the male communicants of a certain age,
who are heads of families, shall have the right of
objecting. I will extend the right. Not only shall
the majority, but any number, or any individual, of
the congregation be entitled to object—and on any
ground moral, doctrinal, or personal. The ob-
jection or objections shall be laid before the Pres-
bytery, and the Presbytery shall have power, takA g
into consideration the qualifications and the fitness
of the presentee for the office of the ministry in the
particular parish, circumstanced as it may happen
to be, to ordain or not ordain him, as may seem to
them proper. But, in case of their refusing to
ordain, they must record in their minutes the rea-
sons which induced them to take that course."
" Reasons !" exclaims Dr.CHA LMERS ; "don't
talk to us of teasons ; what, the Presbytery give
reasons ! who ever imagined that a Presbytery of
the Caurch of Scotland would he called upon to
give reasons for its decision The Moderates
chastised us with whips, but you, cruel Lord
ABERDEEN, would chastise us with scorpions.
If reasons were as plentiful as blackberries, we
would not give you a reason on compulsion, that
we would not."
Thus did Lord ABERDEEN put these would-be
friends of popular rights, but real advocates of
clerical domination, completely in the wrong,
and expose to the world their low cunning, and
disgusting hypocrisy. Even the few honest and
simple-minded persons who were imposed upon at
first by their clamour about the rights of the people,
are now heartily sick of their conduct, and are not
slow to express their dissatisfaction. In a letter
which Dr. CHALMERS has lately published, he
has the imprudence to say, " I felt little or no dis-
appointment at the relinquishment either of the
Veto or of the Call, compared with the disappoint-
ment I felt at the limitation set by Lord ABER-
DEEN'S Bill, on the competency of the Presbytery
to judge, from all the circumstances of the case, on
what she deemed best for the edification of the
people !" The limitation here complained of, he
it remembered, is neither more nor less than that
the Presbytery shall give reasons for their acts.
On this disclosure of the real views of the Doctor
and his coadjutors, the Banner, a Non-Intrusion
journal, published at Aberdeen, makes the follow-
ing just remarks :
We cannot think that the members of the Church have
been struggling to accomplish this germ of a mathematical
point in the right course. Nun-Intrusion, as understood
by the peas,nt and the mechanic, by the farmer and the
tradesman—Non-Intrusion, m advocated at all those meet-
ings, so esteemed and warmly defended by the Reverend
Doctor— Non- Intrusion, as laid down in the very words of
the petitions—was not that Ministers should not be 2:4.
truded against the will of the Presbytery, but the will of
the people."
This is the truth. The unfettered, irresponsible
will of the Presbytery was the grand object aimed
at—the will of the people was the delusion, the
stalking-horse, under cover of which the object
was to be attained. The people have found this
out at last, and we shall hear little more of Non-
Intrusion.

Fete to be held to-morrow at Beulah Spa. The letter
(which we have seen) leads us to suppose that the
illustrious and most worthy Prince will honour the Pete
by his presence. But the fact that he patronises this
attempt to alleviate the sufferings of those whites, who
have gained nothing but freedom by touching En,coi,h
ground, cannot fail to increase the popularity which the
illustrious philanthropist has earned by his presiding
over a demonstration of British feeling in favour of en-
slaved blacks.

A Correspondent calls our attention to the ex-
ertions made by the West India proprietors to carry
labourers to their possessions, and suggests a correc-
tion to our views. He seems not to have fully
comprehended them. What we condemned, and
what we still condemn in the West Indians, is, for
not having introduced as speedily as possible the
principle of freedom into the islands after they had
ascertained that they could not preserve slavery.
We do not blame them for not attempting to get
free labourers, but for not making society there fit
fox free labourers to live in. Badly off as are the
lumper-fed Irish and the pompernickel-eating
Wesrphalians, they are nit so badly off as would
be free labourers in the slave societies of our
colonies. Our Correspondent's own letter
supplies illustration. " The colonies," he says,
" are jealous of losing their labourers, and
pass all kinds of laws throwing obstacles
in the way of emigration. The planters, as
law-makers, in fact try to keep up that system of
slavery which the public here have paid a large
sum to put down. Instead of blaming the Go-
vernment and blaming the abolitionists, the West
India proprietors should blame themselves for not
introducing a free system into the colonies, without
which they cannot have free labourers.
The Government would not hive prevented
them, but they have endeavotued to prevent the
Government from establishing such a system. Even
in the Crown colonies, governed by Orders in Coun-
cil, if the planters had been anxious to procure
real freedom and independence for their former
slaves, the Government would not have thwarted
them. The great obstacle to having free-labourers
in the colonies is neither their climate nor their
peculiar species of cultivation, but the system of
slavery which has long prevailed, and which the
planters have certainly done all in their power to
perpetuate. Let them reform themselves--let theta
honestly extinguish all that re.nains of their
slave codes, and they will not long want plenty of
free labourers. Till they do that, all their efforts
to import Irish or Germans will be abortive.

We regret that so just a case as that brought
forward by Mr. CRESSWELL on Tuesday evening,
on behalf of the Shipping class of claimants, for
losses in Denmark, should have been upset for the
time by a pitiful advantage taken by the CHAN-
CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER of a point of form
in Mr. CRESSWELL'S motion. We trust, howe-
ver, that this circumstance will only give fresh life
and vigour to the claimants, and to their friends in
the House, to renew the motion immediately in a
proper shape, notwithstanding the disadvantages
of the lateness of the Session.

There are some observations in the short state-
ment made by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE-
QUER on the occasion to which we mean to refer
when the question is again brought forward, in
order to show the unfairness and incorrectness of
the points -otk which he rested his unjust oppo•
