THE DISIIONEST CHURCHMEN AND TILE
HONEST PUSEYITES —We rejoice to hear that there is
es ery probility of " The Tract" nuisance being put down,
and that in the simplest, shortest, and most effectual way.
It is currently reported that the highest authority in the
Church cf England has felt it to be his duty to interfere,
and has laid an injuneti at, or some order equally hiodir,,,.
on the editors of the °'m:A
Tracts for the Ti," to cease
from troubling the Church. It is expected, therefore, -
that the "poisonous" stream (the word is Mr. liroue
own, and used with reference to these publications) will
ceise to flow. At least, if such obedience is not yielded,
and that promptly and implicitly, the authors and editors
will stand convicted of having inculcated on 4,thers a rule
to which they are not willing to submit i
per-
sons. Supposing the report to he n their own
true, as we believe it to
be, it is certain that his 1-:race havelaid
.thed,
Churc
of England ...under the deepest obli':;
anon; ai
remem-
bering his Gia;,.'s habitual caution and tenderness, we
can hardly conceive a deeper rebuko, or a stronger con-
demnation, than the fact of Us having felt it a duty thus to
exert his authority.— Tory Paper.
