Literary cadet and Rhode-Island statesman. [volume] (Providence, R.I.) 1827-1829, 1827-08-08


THE REV. EZRA STYLES Ely This
reverend gentleman, who has been d.s'in-
guished for his virulent poemical predictions;
productions which have invariably been dis
t,nguishcd for their profanity and scurrilry.'
has recently made his appearance before the
world as political sernonzer. and phamphi-
teer. He is warmly alta ched to the oause OF
Gen. Ja ackson, and labours with an indesl.ira-
bic industry to convince the world that the Gen.
eral is man Of strict piety and modesty, and
" doing this he deems il expcdieni 70 make
an infamous and unne cessary attack, on that
respectable and piors society Of people, the
Baptists; ard with sneer, remarks, that apv
man may speak of Baptist minister, and even
persecute him, " Without sn erin, at the gos-
pei min ,stry''
by this we presume he means 10 sav, sha'
the Baptist ought to be ostracised, 'raduced
and condemned; andthat hy thus evil entreat-
ing them, no man commits an outrage on that
gospel, which teaches peace ard good vii.
among men! lie was induced to make The IN
tlammatory and scandalous publication by po-
ltical considerations; and with hope o.
screening General Jackson from The odiuu
which has Justly been attached 10 him, incur
cd, by hi. cold-blooded execution Of Harris tho
Baptist preacher. ha mas beon promptly met,
by writer, in the Eew-York National Adro
cate. whose first letter wo now proceed TO copy.
and at the same moment, shall take the liber-
~ to ask that very numerous and respectable
class Of Christians. the Rap,ists. if they arc
disposed TO be thqs sshemefully abused by a ia
natic, and political pulpit declalmei.
