LETTER FROM RICHMOND.

RICHMOND, March 18th, 1870.
We had the pleasure of listening to lee
ture delivered last evening in the Congrega-
tional Church, by Rev. VIM. A. Drew of Au-
gusta. on the character of the Puritans. 1t
resulted in disabusing the minds Of his hearers
of many prevalent notinos and pre-conceived
prejudces in regard to the alleged bigotry Of
our Puritan Fathers. A distinction was clear
" made between the Plymouth and Massa-
chusetts colonies-a difference not only in
name but in character-as widely different as
that existing between the Plymouth stock and
their prosecutors in the mother country. No
such bigotry existed in the Plymouth colony
as exists in some churches to-day.
The whipping of Baptists, Quakers, &C.,
was never perpetrated in the Plymouth, but
by the Massachusetts, colony, and those not
on account of difference of faith, but in the
one case for revolutionizing, or attempting SO
to do, the principles of their government, and
in the other for disordcrly conduct A lesson
may be profitably learned by the churches Of
to-day-not in exclusiveness, but in the liber-
eral. man. saving doctrines of the Puritans,
who were eminently advocates of worship
ping God according to the dictates of con-
science" With no creed save the Bible, they
were pure in life; with no code of Blue Laws,
their constitution was the germ of our free
institutions and civil government.
