word there is nothing but the calm, rational dc.
velopement OF great constitutional right, happily
secured equally TO all the people. II You make a
public issue with any other denomination Of CHRIS
uans-for instance the Methodists orPresby terans,
for the purpose of deprvng them, such, of IA con
stuonal right, they will naturally and necessarily
oppose the effort by constitutional means.
II You attempt 10 hem them in, in such a manner
that they cannot have chance for voting, except
by voting for persons pledged 10 lnflict upon them
The very injury they complain Of their right 10 COM
PLAIN will cease, II they cooperate with you for that
purpose This was the principle which develop
ed IN my speech at Carroll Hall, as may be seen by
another extract still
They say that we want portion of the school
fund Tor sectarian purposes-to apply II TO the sup
port and advancement of our religion. This we
deny now. as we have heretofore We have de-
med II officially and under their own observation
And were they careful or soIcltous for the truth
of their statements, they would not have made the
assertion In this community, all relisous denomi-
nations are supposed 10 be equal There is no such
thing as predominant religion, and the smallest
minority Is entitled to the same protection as the
greatest majority. No denomination, whether
numerous or not can impose lis views on minority

The Bishop gets Fascinated .e the instrument Of his torture
and wont quh talking ABOUT 'that" report
These extracts are all found in the report of nv
speech at Carroll Hall, as contained in the Free
mans Journal. They not found in the same
report as contained IN the Herald. And yet Ben
nett in his paper of the 2lst inst. says, that the
"two reports are verbatim ct teratm'' the
same, with the exception of two words in the de-
scnptlon of the enthusiasm with winch the Bishops
speech was received In the Herald of the 24th he
says, we shall show in the most conclusive man
ner, that the report which appeared in our CO.
lumns, was identical with the very letter with that
when received his own sanction, and was publish
ed to the world IN has own journal" In the same
paper OF the 18th, last Saturday, We give this re-
port from the Ere s Journal-the Bishop's own
paper-a report which was subjected to his revl-
sion, and was published with his full appreciation
and that OF his friends" and again "1hese reports
were made by the same gentleman we have ul-
ready stated, and we now present the incontro-
vertlble proof that they word for word the same
that the report which the Bishop has distinct
ly and vehementy denounced as burlesque re-
port, Is 10 the very letter, the same, that publish
ed IN his own paper after having received his
ton such IS Bennet's repetition OF his own
ialsehoods. | have taken the trouble 10 exhibit
these quotations which are found in the Fryeman's
Journal and not found in the Herald-not that
| suppose that any one would believe Benefits
word IN opposition TO mine, but because on
the faith of Bishop Whites testimony and
my own experience, | had appealed TO the
Justice and love OF lalr play, inherent III
the public opinion of Americans, and because
out of respect for that tribunal wished to appear
indicated, lest some malevolent or incautious
editor might quote these declarations OF his, on the
authority, not OF Bennett, but OF "a morning
paper" OF course, the public see the position ol
both parties IN regard to this only point which even
pared to appreciate the following statement, con
tanned IN the same paper OF the same date-25th
INST 1.-The Bishop has been convicted OF utterng
deliberate-a most gross and atrocious talsehood
lie has been proved To be guilty OF circulating this
falsehood through the journals OF this city. And
now we allix il upon his forehead. We brand this
burning disgrace upon his cheek, and dare him TO
come before the public in any capacity for the pur-
pose OF lmpugnlng the accuracy OF the report which
We have shown TO be identical with his own" I'm
fortunate man
