The Rev. DIR. WooIsEY makes very serious
demand. As a general thing newspapers do not
give up the names OF correspondents unless II is
proved that they have imposed upon the editor
and done real wrong TO the party complaining.
DR.. WooLsEY does not give US any facts on this
point. and for that reason we are not able at
present TO answer his demand positively one
way or the other. WIN he have the kindness to
inform us specifically what falsehoods and mis-
represent tons were contained In the letter he
objects to, and will he also state the real truth
Of the CASE Then we snail be much better pre-
pared to consider his demand than we can be
otherwise.
The postscript Of his letter Is startling. It
seems to us on the FIRST impression to contain
matter not suitable TO be written to by Chris
tlan minister such IA he lie says that II. II
DICKIN or some one connected with him is not
worthy Of gontlcman's notice. Now the
phrase, gentleman's notice, has a peculi r
meaning. II is understood TO signify that san
culinary mode OF seeking satisfaction known as
the duello. But duel is a thing which no
Christian minister can con- ccntiously engage in;
nor should we feel ourselves justified II We were
to give DIR. WoOLsEY information which would
put him in the way OF lighting duel. Awaiting
his answer upon these preliminary points, we
must postpone any reply to the special questions
which he has addressed to us.

It's not because of the scarcity of preach
ers In BROOKLYN that MOODY and SANKEY are
needed there, Brooklyn has hundreds of
churches, occupied by learned and earnest
ministers, who dispense religious dogma and
moral law all the year round. The people listen to
these clergymen, support them. and appear to
agree with them. II might be supposed, under
these circumstances that the clergy would de-
clare the labors OF men like MOODY and SAsKEY
TO be supernuous, aud say that they themselves
were a0undantly able TO supply all the religious
wants Of the people. Have the revivalists any
new story TO tel2 Have they any power

clergy OF all orthodox ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
have taken the lead in the work Of securing the
services Of MOODY and SANKEY They will sus-
tain the reyvaists, ask their own people To
attend their preaching, aud raise money to meet
their expenses This Is an interesting and re-
markable spectacle. II shows that the clergy
are ready to adopt any propero Or available means
OF securing the salvation Of sinners, though the
means be found outside Of their own sects and
churches. For this they deserve praise and
credit.

There are three or four daily papers in
those Of them which uphold the plunderlng
Rings over there to come forwlrd In aid Of the
revival which. II IL hoped, MOODY and SANKEY
will inauguritc at the Rink on the 24th instant.
But nevertheless we do so call on them. II IL
true that the revival, n It amount to anything,
will bring about results that must Interfere with
their own career OF rascality In Brooklyn, aud
put an end to the public corruption that IL so
profitable to them. But still we call on them.
IL Is true that they themselves, or at least some
OF them, may undergo such a moral ransforma-
ton through the revival, that hcnceforth their
own pre- icnt practices will seem abhorent, and
will be given up, to their pecunary loss. But
still we call upon them. II Is not necessary to
call upon the Argus, which IA already doing its
best to purify the city, and IL therefore certain
to support the revivalists theoretically. But we
call upon the Eagle, which IL controlled by
KINGSLEY & Co.. and IL largely responsible for
the wickedness OF BROOKLYN We call upon the
Union. which IL controlled by KINGSLEY, TRACY
Co, aud which Is less responsible only be-
cause its power Is less. Let these Brooklyn pa
pers and the Others show their disposition to
work with MOODY aud SANKEY in behalf Of the
revival. II 10 time tn I they we're beginn ing to
prepare the way for them. In little more than
a week the cvaneelsts will make their appear
ance The Brooklyn papers can do much pre-
paratory work In that week. They can show up
the wlckedness Of Brooklyn, and bring II home
to the puOhc conscience. They can demon
stratc tho necessity Of change. They can set
the people thinking about the subject. Thus
when the evangehsts arrive the ground will be
ready for the planting ~ the seed which they
bring with them. II the owners of the Eagle
and other Ring paper hnd tn they are morally
incap ibie Of writing articles suitable for the oc-
cason, they need not despair. They can doubt
less induce some of the well-known Brooklyn
clergymen like CuYLER, BUDISGToN, SroRRs,
or VAN DYCK, to write all the matter needed to
oil up their columns every day. Then, during
this period the Ring papers must refrain from
defending the frauds and dcvitries OF the
Brooklyn Rings. It may be hard for them TO do
this, but It would be ridiculous for them TO con-
tinue unfolding tho Rings while pretending to
assist the cause OF piety and morality, az repre-
| scented by MOODY and SASKEY.
