The Oath Dem OCrats Desire to

We once expressed fear to gen.
tleman, in conversation, that the dis
tinguished divines, Dr.. Huntir gton
>now Bishop of New York; and Dr..
Osgood, in leaving tho Uni,ariaps and
coming into the Protestant Episcopal
Church, might bring some of their So
oinian educatioe and creed along with
them. He replied very sensibly F.:
"Well, If they do, thoy viii Nuke few

long as they read cur Litany every

pletoly fixed. in our Church on that

by the remark, and saw what the lib.

pronounced the Protestant Episcopal
Church "rHE RrLwARx OF pRorrs.

therefore, to find or define them) in
