SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
GLOBE.—The following requisition is circulated
at Oxford; and our readers will also find in our ad-
vertisement columns a notice on the same subject :
" To THE REV. THE VICE-CHANCELLOR AND THE
MEMBERS OF THE HEBDOMADAL BOARD.
" We, the undersigned Members of Convocation, re-
spectfully but earnestly request that you will take imme-
diate measures for submitting to the Convocation about
to assemble on the 13th of February next, a resolution
conveying the formal censure of the University upon the
principles inculcated in the 90th number of the Tracts
for the Times,' and a solemn repudiation of the modes
of interpreting the Thirty-nine Articles therein sug-
gested. _ _

" We consider such a censure on the part of the
University imperatively called for, and peculiarly ap-
propriate to the important occasion already referred to;
inasmuch as we cannot but recognise in Mr. War i's
Ideal of a Christian Church,' a legitimate development
of the principles of Tract 90, and a practical exhibition
of the pernicious effects which must necessarily result
from their adoption."
We consider this a mode of proceeding much more
proper than that which was originally proposed by the
Heads of Houses. The plain matter of fact is, that Mr.
Ward threw out a boastful challenge to the Church and
he University ; declared himself devoted to the Papal
tee; declared the Church he belongs to "radically and
v ;tally corrupt" ever since separated from that see—and
bt aided of the impunity with which he had hitherto
be sn allowed to do all this, and of the principle of inter-
int -cation of the Articles which admitted of his doing
It_ interpretation, namely, in a " non-natural sense."
No-% ', this purposely offensive proceeding was some-
thi exceedingly different from any ordinary latitude
of .cosnstruction of the Thirty-nine Articles. It was an
,opt m pronunciamento (in Spanish-American phrase)
sinst the whole constitution of the Church and Uni-
vesmities, as established and privileged by law. It must
be evident, that if such a standard of religious revolu-
t ion were followed, its followers would at once place
hemselves on an opposite basis to that upon which the
L egislature and the laity have concurred in placing
ti e Church of England. They would place them -
selves on a basis on which they cannot consistently
star, id, separate from Rome—whereas the claim of
the Church of England to its present position
depends unquestionably on its continuing to re-
fuse recognition to Romish supremacy. All this
has been rendered 'perfectly clear by the publica-
tion earn Ward. That gentleman has, in fact, let
the cat out of the bag; he has openly thrown off his
moral allegiance to nglish authority, and as openly
prafessed his " devotion" to that of a foreign Fee.
We understand that the less headstrong portion of
the Romanising party are disposed to let him suffer
for having sprung their mine thus prematurely.
But in our view Mr. Ward's fate is not the question.
The proceedings of the University must be aimed
(if at any object) at declaring its own prin-
ciples. The main question before it is not whether
Mr. Ward personally merits degradation. We, for
our part, should 'oe strongly against anything resem-
bling a pritilegium ; and besides, with all Mr.
Ward's arrogance, ignorance, and presumption—we
like his explicitness much better than the studied
reserves of his precursors in that school. What (or
whether anything) should be done to Mr. Ward
is one (and the minor) question. Another, and
the more important one, is what the University
should say to his book. The University had placed
him in that order of her members who are looked to
as teachers of youth. Does the University recog-
nise as moral and admissible such principles of teach-
ing as he applies to the Articles ? Are not such prin-
ciples (legitimately developed from the notorious
Tract 90) worthy the noble and glorious company
of St. Ignatius" rather than Protestant England ? Is
the University desirous of ranking with that noble
and glorious company in public estimation ? Let the
University be sure of this—it is Oxford that is upon
trial—much rather than Mr. Ward. Whether that
gentleman keep his degree and fellowship is of com-
parative unimportance. Our humble judgment,
expressed from the first, is to let him keep them.
We love no ex post facto laws. If Mr. Ward's
contempt and abhorrence of everything as at present
established—if his devotion and veneration for the
popedom—do not disgust him from continuing to de-
rive income from institutions which he spurns—as
being national—nor induce him to join the Church
which alone he reveres as Catholic—we should leave him
unmolestedly to repose in his taste and logic—and fel-
lowship. But the University will sink to Mr. Ward's
level. if it allows itself to be suspected of retaining
Articles, to be signed "in a non-natural sense." Let
it dispense with signature of Articles altogether, or
let it declare their
let it
rnon-naturalsignature the immoral
thing it is.
Or, accept
rard. for its own the
doctrine of Tract 90 and Mr. tacitly
