THE TRIAL OF REV. JOHN PIERPoNT.--
John Pierpont-honest and eloquent John Pierpont
will triumph over all the prosecutions of his enc
mics. He stands now unframed in the fiery fur
mace into which the heather have cast him. The
evidence educed thus far on the trial is really con-
temptible; but is the best in the market The
'proprietors of the Hollis street Church. are doing

universal beliefthat they against John Plerpont
because no is an honest and faithful preacher of
che religion which they themselves profess. Is not
this spectacle sckening-that man of the finest
genius and scholarship great eloquence, and per-
fectly irreproachabe life should be arraigned at the
instance OF such men as his are, and made
to suffer all the perpexies and anxietes aud costs o.
litigation-for no error
Really there are not dozen respectable persons
in the city, except those Immediately interested, who
do not perfectly well understand that Mr.. Pierpont
Is prosecuted because he had the hardwood IN the
pulpit to denounce drunkenness and the authors OF
drunkenness and TO hold up other kindred vices, in
which some of his Pensioners participated, as IN
compatible with Christianity. We have no partI-
sanship in religious matters. In expressing our
opinions in regard to this case, merely echo the
universal voice.
To show hour it is expected to convict Mr.. Pier
pont, cannot resist the temptation to publish the
substance OF one witnesses testimony man, on
being questioned. testified that he had left the Hol-
lis street church in disgust Mr. Perpont having used

On is exam nation, he requested TO men,

named his own wife. Had he not attended the

singular modest gentleman, no Goub and his testi-
mony will serve to show how flimsy are all the
