Dissen,ers, and the millions Of signatures

ara;nst it-have compelled the Govern
ment to cry psfeGri. The bill wou!d have
thrown the education Of The rising eener-
a,ion OF the lower classes into the hands
of the Church Of England, and destroyed
the legitimate share OF education WHICH

now WELD. The Wesleyan bods have
been 'hc chief opppacnts Of ,hr measure.
but al! classes of Disscnrrs have comhin-

nuuuccmcu, Of is withdrawal has given
general sa,isiactiou; ior, while ii mas been
so resolItcly opposed by the whole of the
dissenting body, il ha. only received avery
cold and indihcren. sulport from The body
OF churchmen themselves.
