the following language in his essays -

ignis. tdtuus. He, with daring ndepcn-

For the American Watckman.

Mr. WILsov-The writers for the Christian Repository
having aledn their pous attempts the Quakers
to Christianity and drive Quakersm from the face of the
earth, have lately, would turned their attention
another object, equally impoltant namely spplant the
hords of illteratc Methodist Preachers OH the PENN
sula, and supply their place with "able Minister'S.
This is certainly praseworthy undertaking, for is
certain these iterae' preachers have done immense
harm the peninsula they have brought good old doc
rne of the DEGREES into entire dseputc and have
petey spoiled the Preaching trade, that those who have
been regularly taught it. in Theological Seinaries, find it
no longer worth attending to in that place.
1t must be acknowledged it true, that the "terate
Methodist Preachers have been instrumental in the rcfor
nation and conversion of Thousands but what does all this
signify when cable Minister'S have been made at great
expense and must provided for be under the
cessity of laborng with Their hands, why certainly nothing
at all.
1t thought by some, that the spirited anmsdversons of
Methodist Preacher your paper of yesterday, will
damp the holy zeal of the modern eformers but that
terate" fellow certainly knew but little about the points,
or he would have known hat misrepresentation is always
admissible when good object to be effected and what
better be imagined, than paving the way for cable
Minister (fnot ofte New Testament al least of Theo-
logical Seminary to obtana good large salary
Some unreasonable people, too, have censured the ed.
tor of the Christian Repository, for refusing to give the
structures of The Methodist Preacher apace in his pa
per they have termed I fragrant injustice and gIarng
partiatythat it amounts remuneration of all claims
public paronagethst tile friends of Mcthodi ought to
withhold their support pm paper, in which its ministry,
could be misrepresentation nsulted with impunity But
who can blame Mr.. Porter he is believer in the doc
trne of partial grace, and certainly has acteda consistent
part.
Presumng that but rerobatcs will doubt the pro-
priety of using little Misrepresentation and Partially, to
help good cause, remain yours, &C.
