Having been requested to copy the above, We
do il. sri only grudge the space because It seems
to constrain US to say that this appears to as very
irrelevant snd unworthy pettiiogging. Ofcourse'
everybody knows that the College and Seminary
have been erected with the money in question,
aud the fact that they are mortgaged to secure r
part OF it only renders the payment OF the residue
| more distant if not desperate.
But here is the weak point IN the Bishop S
line of defense which none of his spoogists have
vet met-yiz the suffering and loss he must have
Inflicted on many, even though his debts should
ali be finally paid They al appear to ssSume
that If a man who owes can mtnage, by hook or
crook, to pay his debts time or other, or IN
duce compassionate friends 10 pay them for him
all is made right. But the truth is very far from
tins To pay carpenters. lumbermen. brickmakers
butchers, bakers, &c &c. FIVE or six years after
the money 10 honestly due, is often the ne1t thne

want all their means 10 turn once or twice yea
they must make sacrifices 10 meet pressing d.
mands-aad often such debts as these will be
sold from necessity, at twenty-five cents on the
dollar Byand by the debtor pays, but the ORC

and some shaver he has lost three-fourths OF his

Let US say, once for all, that the Bishop nae
no moral rsgkt to get in debt IN this wsy-tos' he
shows no good reason. ~ the time he ran IN deor
t,r expecting he could pay at maturity We
trust he meant night all through, bat he did mol

will acknowledge his errors and repair their con
sequences so far as possible; but this air OF IN
