TUESDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER II, SO.

The doctrines OF the schooi oil MISS rahhy
Wright, may be gathered from the following
resolu ions passed at NEE ing OF her discl'
,,.s When we come to reeollrct that her par.
,isans in the City Of New York have succeeded
in electing one Of their candidates 10 The As
sembly, we may well pause, and retiec' upon
,hr evils with which we are surrounded
Resoiyed In the opinion Of this meeting, that
Tie 6r.t appropriation Of The snil OF the state
10 private and exclusive possessions, was emil
nently and harbsrously unjust
Hesolved, That il was substantially feudal IN
IL, charter, inssmsch as those VINO received
enormous and unequal possession were lords,
and those who received little or nothing were
vossaks.
8esoi,sd, That hereditary transmission Of
wealth on the one hand and poverty on the
other. has brought down TO the present gen
Grafton all tn. evils Of the feuda sysem-and
that this, in our opinion, - the prime source OF
all our calnmities.
Resolyed, in this view Of the matter. that The
creates knaves impostors, and paupers OF the
ape are our bankers-who swear they have
,romised 10 pay their debtors thirty or thirty
Ave millions of dollars on demand, at the same
time tina, they have as they also swear, only
three, four, or Ave millions 10 do II with
Resoy,ed. Ths, more than ONE HUNDRED
BROKEN BANKS, within a few years past,
admouish the community TO destroy banks al
together
Resolved Tina, more than a THOUSAND
kinds of counterfeit bank notes, from hive huns
dred dollars down TO single dollar, gives
double force 10 the admonii!on.
Resolved, That exemption is privilege; and
as such, the exemption from taxation OF
Churches and Church property, and the prop
cry of priests 20 an amount not exceeding hi
teen hundred dollars, Is a direct aud positive
robbery Of the people.
But TIVE doctrines Of these deluded schemers
do no, end here: II they we're confined 10 The
PRONUNCIATION Of such sentiments, the futiliiy OF
which are taught by the common principles OF
reason and d, monstra,ed by experience, we
should no. have so much TO fear But the arch
priestess and her clan, conscious that their lie,
Yelling, demorslizing, and deaasing system Of
morals, must BE- supported by on equally de-
basinp & temoraIizing system Of religion, strive
to sap the foundations Of Christianity, and on
It's ruins TO erect their own impious and un-
hallowed temple. To such lengths have they
gone, that q newspaper, bold and unblushing
in it's infidelity and atheism. is established and
supported in New York. From "a late number
of This paper, the New York Commercial quotes
the folowlng passage, and brands 1t with the
character 1t deserves. We copy il for the
same purpose.
eff we look to religion as 10 The poetry OF

Greece at once.-let the venerable fuih.r OF The
gods assume his throne by his sta;ely Queen.

The blasphemy here uttered is only equal
