To the EDITOR of Tint SnITESIILLY.
—amp—
' Sral—A Correspondent, who signs Mound an
44 Inhabitant of Wakefield," has, in your .Paper
of the bth instant, expressed great indignation
against Ministers for their appointment of new.
Vicar in this place, and for their rejection of ano-
ther Clergyman, who was a rival candidate. Is,
partial justice requires that you should admit a
statement on the other side, by one who, is' no pro-
fessed admirer of either party, but *a friend to
truth. That tho present Vicar did not obtain I
his situation from the splendour of . his Wm:piece
or attainments, I readily admit • but, that he is
" diametrically opposite" to all tiatis excellent in
human character, which your Correspondent as-
sift% I declare to be a gross and direct falschoost.
