In lie EHiInrcnc u,

To The Editors Of the Richmond Vhio.
Gentlemen: your known regard to the freedom of
the press and your disposition 10 extend equal RIGHTS
to all classes of your fellow citizens will it is hone2
secure for the following remarks place in YOUR
paper.
perceive by the report of the proceedings of the
Convention OH Wednesday, that proviso to the 9th
resolution of the Legislative Committee was ndon-
ted BY which ministers Of the Gospel, and priests,
at all denominations are declared ineligible to either
house of the General Assembly.
VIII you permit me through your paper to offer
few remarks and make some inquiries relative to
this resolution
There seems to be an ambiguity about the terms
used. that needs some explanation. suppose there
is no difficulty in defining the term priest But this
term is used only by two OF three If the smallest
religious denominations in this commonwealth, to
designate their religious teachers
The other phrase, Ministers of the Gospel is
meant ] suppose to embrace persons performing the
same functions, for very large part of the free
citizens Of the state. But it certainly needs dcfni-
ton. Who are Ministers Of the Gospel in the view
of the Convention Some denominations are in the
habit OF licensing men to preach as probatjoners
for the Ministry OF the Gospel and these persons
sometimes remain in this situation for number of
years. A respectable farmer, living near this city
has belonged to this class of practitioners for six or
eight years. Is he eligible to the Legislature? a
gain, other denominations in the habit of licen-
sing persons as cXhorters, without calling them to
besides that ofeXhorting in religious meetings and
without enrolling them among their Minister'S Are
sucl persons eligible?
1t sometimes happens that persons vho have Off
ciated acceptably Ministers oftbc Gospel, either
through the failure of their health, or for some 9TH
er reason, cease altogether to act in that CAPACITY:
ond apply THEMSELVES to other calling for tho
support of their families have known them TO
become teachers, farmers, Physicians lawyers, and
editors or papers, aud this without any formal dep
oston oftheir ministerial character. May such be
elected 10 the Assembly,
Once more it happens occasionally that a wolf in
Sleeps clothing creeps into the sacred Office In
the course Of tN1e such persons frequently bctray
themselves, by some gross misdemeanor which
leads to their deposition unworthy of the rninste.
rial character May they now be elected to the Le-

pre- seniod Themselves iomy mind in thinking of THIS
subject But confess myselfat lss to uuder and e.
tber the reason or justice, ofs exclusion of Min
