Northern whigs, Will, 1t Is thought, support the
President in his Oregon measures, through and

ANrI-RESTlsM IN THE Holy EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
The spirit OF anti-rentlsm, the invasion OF vested
rights is not confined to the counties Of Delaware
or Columbia. altogether. 1t is beginning to show
itself IN very unexpected quarter-in the heart Of
this city-in the Episcopal church itself.
From pamphlet published by Appleton u Co, en-
uiled a Memorial relative to Trinity Church, ,"etc
and which Is to be presented to the Legislature,
we learn that a number OF Eplscopalian residents
have taken It into their heads that the immense
property belonging to that corporation is not snf-
ciently dlvided and that the tenure by which Tri-
nty church has held 1t, tor so many years. is contra
~ TO liberty and equality, and to the spirit of the
age. In fact, anti-rentism has broken out in the
Episcopal church OF this city, and movement is
be made in the Legislature, praying for breaking up
OF the vested rights of the corporation, and divi-
sion Of the church property among all the Epscopa-
u
small, saints sinners If thisspint should spread
tarher,we would not be surprised to all persons
holding leases under Trinity church, refuse to pay
their rents, and claim the property in the same way
as the farmers in Delaware and Columbia counties
have done.
The pamphlet, or brochure. from which we gather
these purposes, has been issued only few days
bli il contains the radical notions of the day,
with ri tod rtu,f II
morial founded on some report made previously,
and signed by John Duer, Gerardus Clarke, and Hi
ram Ketchum, three eminent lawyers and pro-
found lursts We are further informed, that the
movement TO change the tenure of the property,
and TO distribute its proceeds, has originated
with what is called the slow church party
with that party Of churchmen who started the
opposition 10 the unfortunate Bishop Onderdonk;
and, IN tact, grows of the Catholic practice in.
dulged in by some of that family, to salute with
holy kiss, every beautiful female communcant be-
longing TO the church, including the clergymen's
pretty wives. The principal dvines engaged in this
movement, We understand, are DR.. Tyng DIR. Be-
dell, DR.. Anthon, Dr. Pond, and DIR. Shimeal, OF st.
Jude's Church. The principles contained in tho
pamphlet are Of the same tendency precisely as
those lavorte principles of the ant-renters, which
have been developed in certain districts on the Hud-
son river The distinguished counsel who are en-
gagged in the will endeavor 10 conceal the OBJ
vious tendency of this movement but TO demand
division Of the whole property of Trinity church,
10 be made among the whole Episcopal body, is
quite sufficient TO indicate its tendency. Another
important point is the amount of property involved.
The annual rents OF Trinity church, in this city, are
supposed TO be nearly one million of dollars-the
value OF the property TO be from five to ten millions,
and the value of the buildings upon the grounds
some twenty to thirty millions. But this is not all
Now that the question is before the public and the
Legislature, no doubt new class OF anti renters
will spring up among the tenants OF this corporation
because they have as good a right to refuse to pay
their rents the memorialists have to call for
division ofahe church property
This subject will undoubtedly make great COM
motion in the Episcopal Church but whether il
will increase their piety people heaven, or not
seems to be yet uncertain. We will watch it,
Two years ago, when the controversy began in
the Episcopal church about bishops and women, and
kissing, and all such important matters, we pre-
diced that the real object Of the stirrers up OF the
difficulty about Bishop Onderdonk, was to get hold
OF the funds, and 10 finger the valuable revenues OF
the church Our prediction then has become fact
now.
