More about the Jewish Troubles.

If,I
Having observed communication in Thurday's
Herald, relative to the differences now existing in
the Elm street synagogue, In which some worthy
OF the Crosby street congregation undertakes to
show his Christian brethren the party in error,
venture, through the medium Of your excellent
Journal to offer the following remarks in reply to
that able document should you think them worthy
OF inserting. Not being member or seat holder
in either place, have party feeling on the sub
ject, but like not to see an individual come out
for the avowed purpose OF enlghtenlng the COM
munity on the merits of the matter in dispute. /
can interpret his language IN no other way and in
the very face oil this assertion launch forth into
long strain of vain glorious boastings, to prove
what forsooth the superiority OF his own congre
CATION every other, without even touching on
either side OF The question, as though that was the
| point in discussion.
Now, in the name of common sense, has he so
pointed out (and ask in all humility OF the highly
gifted gentleman for informationl the party in
ror Certainly not, according to my poor capacity,
by the long rigmarole of insufferable twadde and
fulsome egotism in which he INDUCES tor no o,her
purpose, it would seem, but to initiate up the self
created aristocrats OF his own honorable Synagogue,
at the expense OF his less pretending coregOnlsts.
OF verify it is amusing to hear this modest hero
vaunt oil rescuing the names Of his fOrefathers from
unjust differences, which might be deduced from
acts ntoerant in spirit, when il is fact notorious,
that their degene rated descendants, who are un-
wanantably paraded before the public in this in
stance, are at this very time exercising over the
stockholders, despotic and obnoxious tyranny,

those which gave rise the present difficulties in
Elm street, and at which this consistent gentleman
expresses so much vrtuous Indignation, Tor in this
very temple of purity, no one, however worthy, can
be admitted member, unless he belong to certain
clique, who lord it over the rest, in way that
vors very little OF that pure republican spirit which
your sage correspondent would lead you to suppose
influences them: But the cream OF the joke IS,
greater part Of these select gentlemen are compos-
ed Of these horrid Jadescas or Dutch as he under
stands it, and whom he affects TO hold at arms
eng h, Nay, some Of the very trustees are such
let him deny this il he can. II the public, as he
says have nothing do with all this, they certain
ly can have less with the nonsense and bad gram
mer (totaly irrevelant to the subject,) which he
inhcts on them, backed by an array Of names,
all honest gentlemen no doubt, and very well in
their way, but must venture to add, not quite SO
grand out of their little sphere, some people
would infer. He states in conclusion, his sole OBJ
ect was to set you right, (aIniable condescenson)
Now, sir, ask, has he done so TO me it appears
he never even attempts it. Unjust now take leave
Of this intellectual parsonage and his pompous
epistle, but advise him when he next attempts ex.
plantations, to stick to the question, and not allow
his brains 10 go wool gathering lest he wear them
out HosEsTUs.
