JAMES D'WCLF.
Already has this distinguished gentleman
been bruta.ly assaulted by the church and
state party with the usual weapons in argu-
men;-infdelhy impieiy enemies TO good
order and the whole paraphernalia ei
meaningless words, conned for the purpose
Of frightening fools and engendering muir
derous fanaiicism. fDr. D'Wolf has intro.
duced any thing in General Assembly legis.
latlvely infringing the religious rights of any
body Of people, we shall do our utmost 10
oppose him, on ascertaining the truth there.
of But, if Mr.. D'Wolf has contended 10 re.
gulate the religious standard of religious
c corporations by the civil one, he is entitled
/ to the warmest thanks, as well as the gener.
Gus support of the free people of Rhode Isl.
and. Few there are who dare stem, tho tide
Of church tyranny--and when we find per.
son with tha, rare virtue-moral courage
let not his name be forgotten by the just md
the free. What, though the whole host OF
fanatics dema gogues and base. hearted by.
pocrtes sound the magic slarum Of intideli-
ty lit is the base sub;erfuge of a mean.
cowsrdly, aud vicious mind, that cannot rise
above its slmy surface, and would bring all
! others down TO its level. A reckless and
ambitious priesthood are striving with the
fell purpose Of pros,rating the liberties of
this 40 ub bnf p,nans tboy N
valthemsolves and under tho assumed sane
tity of their calling, they lead into captivity
their thousands and tens Of Thousands shall
no one raise warning voice against these
threatening evils when the ground Of Eu
rope still smokes with the blood Of the innu-
merable victims slain to su5serve the vile in
terests of vindctive and domineering
priesthood? Shall it be said tha, no storm
Of this kind is gathering round the horizon
of our liberties? llearken then to the voice
of blood thirsty priesthood themselves, for
out Of the abundance of their heart their
mouth has spoken.
The Rochester Observer. the organ of pi
city in western New. York, says" There is
no neutrality, no armistice, no yielding; on
ward, victory or death, is ever the watch
word Of the presbyterian church she tciA be
The established church Of this Union, OR
WADE THRO' BLOOD TO ATTAIN
THAT JUST PREKOGATIvE!!!" Thus
do they breathe out ihreate nings and slaugh
ter, and seal their infamy with their own
mouth. ltls this consummution Of priesty
power--blood and carnage--so devou,y
hoped and struggled for by the priesthood,
that Mr.. D'INolf would avert. This is the
"head and front Of his offending" that has
subjected him TO the maedictons of the p-
Gus Robespieres of the land--and we rejoice
that he is sustained in this matter of momen-
tous import without reference to what pol
itical party he belongs. We rejoice that he
has the cooperation Of 80 distinguished q
person as benjamin Hazard, who, in his pri-
vate walks, is justly esteemed for his many
virtues, and as being the friend of Free EN-
CURRY. His signal services, some three or
four years since, coupled with those of ano-
ther distinguished persona ge Of this town,
are M, forgotten. BY their united strength
religious property was made subject to tax
alton. Though they could not move togeth-
er in politics, they were not so lost to its
sway as not to act in concert upon a point Of
such vital importance to'the state.
