THE PUsEYITK CONTROVERSY. Our iraternal ad
ponitioss have not been without their effect upon
Dr. Seabury, The prudent editor of the Chigchman
We are glad To find the Doctor so docle. In
cordance with an implied advice, he has come out
with labored defence OF the Bishop and his asso-
ciaes, and endeavors, with what success yet to be
determined, 10 prove that Mr.. Carey is quite sound
IN the faith, and is altogether unainted with that
Ieprosy which has been spreading with such ieariul
rapidly amongst the shepherds and the hocks with
in the pale OF the venerable Episcopal Church. asby
law established in Great Britain and her colonies;
and by the grace of God in this hemisphere
Although we give Dr. Sesbury all credit Tor his do
cility and prompt obedience to our advice, yet we
are sorry that we cannot give him the assurance
thar his defence is triumphant He seems To be
greatly hampered Throughout the whole seven
columns of his closely printed review Of the pam
phlet of Drs. Anthem and Smith, he seems to be
staggering under some oppressive influence OF which
he cannot possibly get rid DR.. seabury, according
10 the "orihodox use and want" OF theological dis.
pulants, commences by pouring tremendous vol
ley OF abuse on the heads of his opponents We
suppose this is done for the purpose OF raising such
a cloud OF smoke and dust as will effectually OBJ.
scure the movements OF the belllgerents, and leave
the public and the faithful" in proper degree of
doubt respecting the conflict and its issue. The
Doctor appears 10 be terribly annoyed in con.
sequence OF the manner in which the con-
uoveTsy has been taken up by the abomlnabe,
latermeddllng lmpcrtlnent, ide, secular press
Colonel Webb gets very satisfactory amount OF
druobng, and we more than half inclined TO be-
heve that If the Doctor and the Colonel were fairly
placed against each other in the ring, the spiritual
warrior would send his carnal antagonist as expedi-
ilousy to the right about face, as did the pistol of
Duff Green.
The Doctor complains greatly that his breth-
rem, Antnon and Smith, were guilty of be-
travail OF confidence and of coAtumaciously
dragging" the controversy before the bar of pub
lie opinion. Ha! ha. Master Seabury, the day has
gone by, happily forever, when you can expect to
shut out the searching light OF public opinion. There
ls not beam or rafter OF the ecclesiastical ed.
lhce that will remain unexposed, unvisted by
the light of this public opinion" To be sure
the venerable spiders will suffer, and the cob.
webs OF many centuries be brushed away, but
the friends OF the truth will not, with DR. Seabury,
complain and cry out 'Ichabod;"-our hiding places
are cleaned out for ever
As a specimen of the Churchman'S "defen ce"
take thls:-
NfTOm Lrs smith and .dufhon's " Statement
90 9. Do you OF do you fault the church OF Rome
in pronouncig she does the Books Apocry pa Holy
Scnpturel"
Ans do not either to myself any else, at
tempt TO prove doctrine OF the Apocry phs.' The
Holy Spirit may have spoken by the Apocry pha and the
homty as-erts the sane thing The question here
renewed and pressed several different hapes by the
bishop The answer elected by his last question
the oilo wing effect: would not ioult the church of
tIpne Tor reading the Apocry for proof of aoctrae"
Or Ssabu,y's Remarks on the abops)
The account OF the answer to this question is as near
tho ha
about the drpsrsd bling benefited by the sdmnistrs-
iien Of the holy communion" MIR. Carey did not ssy
that he did NOT fault tbs Church of Rome for attempting
ITO prove doctrine out of the Apocry pha His
that" he did not fault the Church Rome
ing the Apocrypha and considering t. in loose sense
Scripture" Il is true, that Mr.. Carey did express the
belief that the Holy Spirit may have spoken by the
ApocryPha, and is that the bishop did
question: and skilluy elicit from MIR Carey several quo
tatious from the Homiies, in which the same thing is
osseed but hls object was as 1t seemed to me- tacy to
Caution the two doctors their heads against
the Homes OF their Church in their zeal to trip up Mr.
Carey.
Was ever such petty quibbling The reviewer
proves the accuracy OF the report which he attempts
10 lmpugn And so with all the rest of the review.
Really, unless the controversy be managed with
little more spirit, candor, and ability, shall not
trouble ourselves or our readers with it. Indeed,
we believe, II is BEST after ALL 10 let the old lady in
scarlet, and her refractory daughter, the vixen,
scratch away al each others eyes in their own
fashion, without botherng ourselves about the con-
test in the meantime. Our readers have already
got quite enough OF Puseyism," so that unlike |
the juvenile patrons of Shermans ozenges, they do
not " cry for more" Let Colonel Webb, then, and
the old serpent who is anxiousy watching all the
movements, settle the controversy as they please.
HAwKrNo AND PKDDLNe. Feeling, as we do,
interested In the welfare and prosperity OF the mer
chants and mechanics of New York, we have care
fully watched the procee dings OF the Common
Council on this subject, and much surprised at
the want OF decisive action this gu estion. The
petition against Peddling was referred to a commit
tee OF each Board, who severally reported favora
bly,. The Corporation Attorney was then instructed
TO draw up an ordnance, viii N vas done, and Or
dered to be printed-and there the matter rests
Now, gentlemen of the Common Council, are you
aware that the merchants and mechanics OF New
York are too respectable and numerous class of
citizens to be sighted with impunity1 The petitions
On this subject, told number already twelve
thousand names, without distinction of party, COM
pnslng our most influential tradesmen and mechan-
ics who have united themselves into association
Tor the express purpose OF putting down the present
system of Peddlins goods through the city.
