DIsPosfTioN OF TRINITY CHt1cH PRopRRrY-
We think it is time that all the Christian sect in Ii
cxy should take into consideration the movement
now made by a certain section OF the EpsceTal
church, in relation to the property Of the Trri-
~ Church corporation.
There can be no doubt but that all the Christian
sects in New York city have, upon principles of
equity and common sense, and agreeably to the
constitution OF this country rights in the distribu
ton OF this property, as much as the United States
have rights in the Oregon territory But this is not
all The property held by the old Presbyterian or
Dutch church, is under the same tenure. II must
be evident 10 every man OF intelligence and common
sense, that these tenures, by which isolated sects
hold vast property in this city, are altogether con-
trary to the spirit of the constitution, and to the
spirit OF the age, and remnant OF the laws of
prmogeniture, or offeudalism, which ought not TO
obtain at all In the present day Since this matter
is now before the Legislature, hope that all the
churches of this city will besr themselves, collect
memorials and send on petitions and show to the
Legislature that they have right, Chris
tian churches, to this property, as well as Trinity
Church.
When this property was given to Trinity Church,
two hundred years ago, it was SO given on the
ground that the Episcopal Church was the religion
OF the State. This was the general principle, at
that time and period But in this age. all Christian
churches together. the religion Of the State, and
under our constitution have, as religions of the
State, the same rights. Under the charter, every
church hasright to its pro rata share. according to
the ratio Of the saints or pew holders.
We again call upon the churches to bestr them
selves and claim their property from those who
now hold it, and particularly to prevent small sect
Of Episcopalians, called the slow church" from
absorbing all, and defeating the general right o.
every good Christian.

Mott; but, wanting in courage like its associate in
quackery, it contened itself with the exhibition of
a species OF hemonhage in words, against us.
which not even the Brocchieri water could quench.
The immediate cause Of these disreputable exhbi.
tons Of imbecile malevolence against distinguish.
ed man, by these two organs Of quackery, is the
searching investigation which DR.. Mott made OF the
Brocchier water, and the final explosion of the
nostrum and its chevsliers. Failing to humbup the
public, they now turn their weapons against Dr.
Mott himself; but as John Randolph of Roanoke
used to say. they may well ATTACK the fortress

HIGHLY IMPORTANT RUMOR.

that tho authorize intended TO recognise
both American and Mexican prizes IN tho
ports Of the Islands.
We do not oxagt ly understand what II
meant by recognise" n It H. merely TO
admit thom TO The Ports Of the Islands for
present refuge and safety. psrhaps our
treaty with Spain may allow oflhls, though
we are q! present unable 60 refer to II, 10
ascertain tho tenor, but if tho word " Fo-
eogntZe" means 10 permit prizes to be
condemned aud sold by Mexican ConsuIs
or Agents, there 10 but oHe course for our
