interest OF romance The theory OF the plaintiff Is
that Mr. r. ID. Shepherd made legatee OF his

by sealed letter directing him as his death to
distribute the property equally among James II. Shep
by small envelope which was found IN the papers

duce the religious question into schools and poll
tics In violation OF the fundamental principle OF
American institutions-thst there should be Q COM
plete separation Of Church and State; knowing as
they do, from history that disregard OF this prn
ciple, such is exhibited In the bill in question:
must inevitably tend to disturb the peaceful relations
OF our citizens Of all denominations, and to create
religious feuds and angry strife between those whom
the wise policy Of our Gathers has enabled to live In
FVsnHTnat IN view OF the Importance Of resisting
any and every encroachment upon the integrity OF
our common school system, by insidous efforts to
impose upon the people ct large the burden OF
sustaining sectaran schools, a committee OF five be
appointed to present these resolutions to the honor
able the Senate aud Assembly, and also to his
Excellency, with the expression Of our hope
that they win withhold their approval nom this
and every other bill showing the slightest re-
ligious preference, or tending to overthrow our
common school system; and that the said
committee be instructed to inquire and report
whether the corporation OF the city OF New York has
at any time made any disposition Of the moneys or
landed property Of the city, by direct gift by lease
for q nominal consideration for sectarian purposes
or has recommended to the Legislature any taxes for
the benefit OF religious societies. and that the said
committee take such steps as they may deem proper
to awaken the attention Of the people OF this State to
the Importance Of resisting promptly all sectarian
attempts from whatever quarter, TO overthrow our
common school system, or to impair the religious
freedom Of the people at large.
