"PRIsoNERs OF THE LORD."-The
Connecticut Observer, of the 5th inst.
has an article under this imposing cap
ton, worthy Of Peter the Hermit, or the
famous Thomas A. Beckett. 1t is an ar
ticle not less impious than Infamous
attempting, besides encouraging disobe-
dience to the laws, to hold up disorgani-
zers and malefactors, as Gods suffering
saints, or, in other words, "prisoners Of
the Lord"
Comparisons are, instituted between
the Georgia convicts, and Joseph, and
jeremiah, and with the apostles, and
Paul and silas, while they .sang praises
in prison." &c. &c. 1t is a mortifying
reflection, that in this enlightened age
and country, the clergy should SO far
presume on the ignorance, bigotry and
fanatacism Of their readers, as to sup
pose they can be deludcd or excited by
gross perversions oftexts Of scripture, or
wicked appeals to the passions of their
readers. During the dark ages, when
the clergy claimed exemption from all
punishment, and violated all laws with
impunity, such an article as this in the
Observer, would not have occasi0ned
any degree of surprise. for the priests
then rioted in wickedness, and claimed,
like the extremely pious editor Of the
Observer, that they were, notwithstand-
ing their wickedness, Goods people" |"
In these days, however, the clergy pre-
sumo too far, If they suppose themselves
without the pale of the law. If a priest
is convicted Of forgery, counterfeiting,
treason, or in Georgia If he refases TO
take the oath of allegiance, he is pun
ished just ss one of his Pensioners
would be punished, for the law has no re-
spect to persons. The Reeds. Messrs.
Worcester and Butler, haue just rs much
violated the laws, as John Smith, who
was guilty of counterfeiting. The flst
did not murder, ormaim, or commit per-
sonal injury on any man, or destroy
property, neither did the latter, but all
of them have broken those laws which
the good Of society required should be
observed, which were dictated by public
policy, and were enacted by the consti-
tuted authorities. If pity be shewn 20
either, il is due John Smith--he is igno-
rant and impoverished. his education
was neglected, and no one ever looked
to him for good example of virtuous con-
dnct-far different is ii with Mcssrs.
Worcester and Bu,lcr:-they should from
their education, their standing and their
calling have been patterns of obedience
to those around them, In no respect
are they entitled to be called "prisoners
of the Lord" more than John Smith, the
counterfciter, or any ordinary malefac-
tor; aud we look upon il as impious in
their brethren to claim for them this sP-
pellation.
Priests are regarded in these days ss
other men, endowed with the same sens
'ss and subject TO the same iuhrpities
