Sir :--In reviewing some of your back
numbers Of papers, find few remarks
made in relation to the Convocation Society,
which think are calculated to convey err
roneous impressions to the minds Of those
who are unacquainted with this society and
seeing that the motto ofyonr paper is "Hear
both sides and then dsirrmine"--I have pro-
vided you with fow remarks, which think
will do away, in some degree, these erron.
eous impressions.
The Convocation Society was established
but q short time since for the purpose ofsup.
porting State Missionaries not, as has
been often times inferred, to send men among
the heather "to dispute about the different
modes Of faith."-And as to the pledge Of
the Episcopal ciergymen to raise from their
respective congregations, annually, an
amount equal at least, to ten per cent oftheir
salaries, according to your correspondent, I
can say, although have been q member Of
it ever since its organization, I have never
heard any thing Of the kind consequently
shall be warranted in expressing my doubts
as to the truth Of such an assertion. The
object for which / have joined it, and for
which all my acquaintances have, SO far as
have had any conversation with them, was
to contribute our mite to support Episcopal
clergymen 10 those towns which are desti.
tutc--without pledgipg ourselves to raise
any specific sum. or make any kind Of ..trum-
perry to gull the public" as is asserted And
&c to our dealings with the Dorcas Society,
| pronounce them to be perfectly just, and am
able to substantiste the assertion by indispu.
table proofs. make these hssty remarks
to point out to your correspondent the error
of his statements, which stand ready at ell
times to p,ove false and without foundation.
KITTY.
If our correspondent" to whom our friend
Kitty alludes. has made any false statements,
they should be corrected land we would,
moreover. state, that we wish our correspon-
dents to have ascrupulous regard to the truth
Of what they furnish us. That eorrespon.
dent would scarce sgain find favor in our
sight, who should furnish Us with matter for
which there was not good authority. We
intend to pen nothing odrself which is not
susceptible Of proof If we have ever done
otherwise, we hold oursclf both ready and
desirous to repair the evil and make acknowl-
edgement-an we would have Our CORES.
pondents observe the same rule-nsi that we
fear libel suits--ws care not q single sumar-
kee for any threats ofthe kind.--Butt truth is
our end and aim, and whenever we wander
from it's wsy, it will be unconsciously y-shd
we shall count that person our friend, who
warns us Of our mistaken course, that we
may retrace our steps, and pursue that course
whose "ways are ways Of pleasantness, and
al her paths are peace"
