----o---

The speech of the Earl of DERBY last night, in
answer to the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, iw all
that the most ardent and devoted friend of civil
and religious liberty could de,ire. It proclaims
the broad principle of universal toleration—that
no man should be injured or benefited for the pro-
fession of the faith that is within him. The
latter point is almost as essential as the former,
for the covetous man who could be gained over
by bribes or temporal advantages to abandon
the religion of his forefathers, in which he had
himself been educated, is oven more contemptible
than the timid one who might shrink from the
trials to which he was exposed. The opinions of
the Noble Premier may be briefly summed up.
They comprise protection to all—favouritism to
none. Every man must be enabled to profess
openly the religious views which in his heart and
conscience ho believes to be most acceptable to
his CREATOR. On this point there should be
neither let nor hindranc,,, so far as the overt
acts connected with his religion are in accordance
with the laws of the ltnd. It would, of course-,
be absurd to say that human sacrifices should be
connived at, or that the worshippers of
" Bowahnee" should be permitted to carry on
their sanguinary rites at the expense of innocent
victims. But opinion should be perfectly free. No-
thing should be done to discourage private efforts,
always provided that the governing power should
not in any, the slightest degree, be brought into
the transaction.

The following paragraph is worthy of being in-
scribed in letters of gold on the national archives :
—" While I think that due protection ought to
be given to the professors of all religious in India,
and nothing should be done to discourage the
efforts of Christian missionaries in that country—
on the other hand, I am quite certain that it i 3
essential to the interests of peace, and the well-
being of England, if not also to the very existence
of her power in India, that the Government should
carefully abstain from doing anything except to
give indiscriminate and impartial protection to
all sects and all creeds, and that nothing could be
more inconvenient or dangerous, on the part of
the State, than any open or active assistance to
any, or any attempt to convert the native popu-
lation from their own religion; however false or
superstitious."
This is all that can be desired the most stre-
