We find the following account Of the removal
of Chaplain, in the proceedings Of the New
York Legislature of January %:
Mr.. Moulton called up his resolution. offered
Yesterday, to rescind 50 much of the resolution
appointing Chaplans, as includes the name OF the
Rev. DR.. Wilson.
Mr.. Millcduler expressed his wish that this re-
solution would lie withdrawn or LAID on the table,
never to be brought up, though il its consdera-
ton were pressed. he shoui vote for 1t. Let US
set DR.. Wilson ali example Of Christian liberaity
and forbearance, which he appears to have for
gotten. His puny efforts cannot injure the me-
mory of the great men whom he has placed under
his maiedic,ion, particularly that of the Father of
his Country. The name Of Washington was
wrought in with the fibres of every American
heart, and any reflection on HIM would be felt
by the whole nation, and would produce but alb
horrence for its author. Let this matter rest; let
Dr. Wilson come among US and worship with US,
il he choose. Let him take the pieces OF silver
which are his pay. Let him eat of the fruit of
the land which was made happy by the energies
of Warrington, and the other great men whom
he has condemned. He will find it to be like
the apples of Sodom, but ashes to his taste.
The motion Of Mr.. Nj. to lay the resolution on
the table, was lost
Mr.. Granger said he hoped the author of this
resolution would withdraw it. and that all records
of it might be expunged from the minutes But
if not withdrawn, he should vote for it. No one
could censure the pamphlet Of DR.. w. more than
he did, and though he was distinguished among
the canonzed, vet he confessed that he did not
seek this distinction in the manner in which it
was conferred. He who assails Washington and
the other great men of the land, strikes blow at
the moral wealth Of the whole nation. There
were not thousand people in this community.
but would read this pamphlet with disgust. Ii
the object is to give nO'Oriety 10 this publication,
the passage Of this resolution was the right course.
Say moth ing about it, and his pamphlet will fall
still born from the press. Mr.. g. then alluded
to the attack made IN a member OF this House.
Mr. Nvers.) and stated that his main reason for
voting for thi, resolution would be that IL had at
tackled thai member for his faith, who had as much
right to his opinions as himself or any other mem.
Der
Mr.. King said. tina. thop., he would be for
Furnishing any breach of privilege Of this house,
vet he conceived that the passing of this resou
ton would b. improper. 1t would give char.
acter to this pamphlet which it would never other
wise obtain. The introduction of the resolution
and this discussion were a sufficient censure. He
hoped the resolution would be withdrawn.
Mr.. Myers made speech Of some length. He
did not wish this resolution passed on his own
count. for he was not disturbed bv the remarks
IN the pamphlet. But if the pamphlet should be
considered as breach Of privilege. he had no Oh
lection to the resolution.
Mr.. Bishop declared himself in favor Of the re-
solution.
Mr.. Butler said he had every respect for the
dignit. of this house, but he did not think this
was the way to vindicate il. He was personally
acquainted with DR.. w. and he believed him to
be constituhonaly affected with tanaticism.-
Knowing his character. he would as forgive
him for this. as he would for being affected with
the influenza.
Mr.. Otis SAID he knew DR.. w. to be talented
and amiable, and he was sorry that he had med
died with political affairs; the community all con-
denim him. He would take any measure to keep
separate church aud state, &c.
Mr.. Masters spoke in favor of the resolution.
Mr.. +. Smith was sorry that there had been
any discussion on this resolution; it would only
give notoriety to the pamphlet. !
Mr. Brown thought We were fighting against
the wind. DR.. w. had not been here az one Ofs
our chapIains, nor. as he was well informed, did
he mean to come here. Therefore the resolution
was unnecessary.
Mr. Moul,on replied. that at present. he was at
liberty to come here, and he wished to deprive
him Of that liberty.
Mr.. Speed made some remarks on the impro.
priety of the language Of the pamphlet; yet he
hoped the resolution you'd be withdrawn, but if
not. he should vote for it.
The resolution was then adopted, ayes 95,
noes 2. The noes are Mr.. Butler and Mr.
Brown
