This is certainly an extraordinary
accusation Of the Rev Uriol Graves
against his brethren Of the pulpit
That they arc a pricstcral of long

for the flock beyond the fleece that
they will betray thier dupcs for
their bread that there are not six
popular ministers in Pennsylvania
who could preach the truth as pro
claimed By Christ without disturb
ancc In their churches and that tho
preaching of that truth by the
clergy would within half q year
upset ninety per cent, Of all the
pulpits.in the country so says The
Rev. Uriel Graves, and, a. viii BE-
seen in the foregoing extract, he
