FOR THE ENQUIRl

To tie Protestant Episcopal Convention,
Which meet at Petersburg on the 18th inst.
GENTLEMEN-l approach you with
respect, but with freedom. A gracious
God gave me an understanding, and
will exercise il like freeMau. | bow TO
no human authority, las sacred or supreme.
l consider you as men-and as men will
treat you.
You remember the famous resolution of
the last Convention Iou will remember
too the spirit il called tOrth among the
tree citizens OF Virginia. BE assured, that
public opinion was strongly agaiBs, it
Ii is for you to say, after "a twelvemonth's
calm reflection upon the matter, whether
you will retain that most obnoxious resp
luton, or cancel it, as is your duty.
The late Convention wished 10 pro-
scribe all fashionable amusements for
instance, dancing aud the theatre. They
gave us their opinion that :hey ought to
be relinqulshed aud they went on TO
express hope that this bare declaration
OF their sentiments, unaccompanied too
by one atom ofargument, would be "sut-
fcient TO produce conformity of conduct
and unanimity of opinion
The Convention, Gentlemen, mistook
The scene where they were acting. The
Nirginians are not Italians. They are
not like the submissive slaves of a con-
clave of cardinals, who take their bulls
as the word OF God. We think for our
selves; and the liberal part OF this com
munity are ready to repeat, that you have
dared TO exercise control over the rights
OF conscience, which they will not submit
TO.
In the name of the State, in the name
OF the Church, | call upon you TO revise
hnr tttrrn nd "a
from your canons. | hate all manner of
usurpation; aud call upon you TO bring
back the church 10 ihe point where your
predecessors found il. They have given
1t character of fanaiicsm, of idle cant,
and of mouklsh ansterity, which INJURIES
the church itself. III they expected 10 wean
us from amusements that they might pre-
pare US for the yoke of The bigot, they are
mistaken. Wewill do as weplease: aud the
only effect has been 10 produce re action,
which has done the church no service.
On the very spot where the convention
resolved, a theatre is about TO be opened.
Liberal men resented the act as an out
rage upon their rights. Ii is your inte.
rest to couciliate, and not TO offend. Ii
IS triumphant church only, that can
afford to abuse its authority. Make
friends, gentlemen, you cannot afford to
lose any.
But, if deaf to the voice of experience;
If bent upon subjugating the conscience,
insiead OF enlIghtening The mind aud pu-
riIylng the heart, you still adhere 10 this
rash resolution, its spirit and its tenden-
c.es will be freely exposed before the
p ublic. The press of Virginia is free
and there is no right which il more scru-
pulously guards, than The rights of con-
science. MARCUS.
