If, as has been frequently asserted of late, the
Catholics and Dissenters are annually increasing in
numerical anti moral influence, the high Protestant
Church of England has only herself to thank for
such increase. Her folly is their strength. By the
encouragement which she secretly and openly gives
to the abuse of all creeds but her own, she drives
thousands into the arms of heterodoxy, who, other-
wise, would never have dreamed of abandoning the
faith in which they were reared. Now,why cannot the
old Lady keep a civil tongue in her head ? Why not
pocket her tithes in silence, and leave Dissent un-
molested ? 'Surely it is not necessary, in order to
maintain her authority, that she should go abcut,
like a brawling termagant, abusing and making
mouths at all who do not belong to her own commu-
nion ! A man may refuse his assent to the Thirty-
Nine Articles, yet, for all that, be a very un •
impeachable Christian. He may revere the POPE
more than the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, and
swear by ST. PETER, in preference to ST. PH I L L-
POTTS, yet, notwithstanding this, be as accept-
able in the eyes of Heaven, as the sleekest bishop
that ever closed the eyes of an orthodox congrega-
tion. But Mother Church says, No. All who
are not for me, she exclaims, are aiainst me ; and
being so, they are—ex necessitate rei—against reli-
gion, against morality, against legitimate govern-
ment and social order. Do we assert this without
warrant ? Alas, the anti-Catholic crusades
of those itinerant quacks, O'SULLIVAN and
NPGHEE ; the frequent ebullitions of intolerance
at Exeter Hall ; and, more especially, the episcopal
charges and furious party pamphlets of Dr. PH IL-
POTTS ;—all these things abundantly prove that,
