 INTRODUCTORY REMARKS. 
 
 UNFoiTNnEn claims in regard to religion, unblush- 
 flngly asserted and arrogantly maintained, have often 
 [proved means whereby Satan has taken advantage 
 I of the understandings of men ; has enslaved their 
 j consciences, and endangered their souls. 
 
 Such claims sometimes originate in honest igno- 
 rance, but more generally uo they proceed from a 
 J Belfish and shameless spirit, of bitter and intolerant 
 partizaiiship. In crim>,on characters, ecclesiastical 
 history identifies them with the tyranny and cruelties 
 of Antichrist. And every friend of God and man 
 is bound to unmask them before the public eye. 
 J Claims of this description, v.Ty commonly and 
 I principally rely for their support upon old musty 
 manuscripts, or traditionary authorities of lapsed ! 
 ages. And these require peculiar qualitications, and I 
 of the profounder class, for their investigation and ' 
 demolition. But the tact of the Antiquarian is by I 
 no means requisite, for demonstrating the folly of I 
 the claim which is here reviewed. I 
 
 It will be found tliat the ensui.ig Correspondence i 
 derived its existence, from a respectful but decided 
 rebuke of one of the baseless pretensions of the intole- 
 rant party, in the " Church of England in Canada." 
 The rebuke, however, was followed by an intem- 
 perate assault upon the character of all the other 
 churches of the Province; and which was distin- 
 guished by disreputable imputations and calumnies. 
 That party, by its various organs, does not blush to 
 avow the moat cordial contempt, antagonism, and 
 animosity, as it regards every other Christian Church 
 in the Province, but its own Venerable Communion. 
 Those organs, therefore, are fairly open to an impar- 
 tial criticism. 
 
 With great advaitage, these letters might have 
 been more suitably compressed within a much smaller 
 compass, than that to wlii, h they have extended, j 
 But they had to be written at various times, and 
 under circumstances unfavourable to sn^h compres- 
 sion. This consideration will propitiate the indul- 
 gence of the candid reader. Being denied the justice 
 of an insertion in the Couriers; both of which had 
 published the false and calumnious productions on 
 which they animadvert ; these letters, through the 
 irenerosity of its liberal conductors, were permitted 
 to appear in the columns of the Montreal Herald. 
 They are republished in a combined form, owi^i? to 
 
 the incurable and dishonest pertinacity of the Into!- 
 erant party, who have attempted (o make capital of 
 the Correspondence, by unfavourably misrepresent- 
 ing its real occasion and character. 
 
 The importance of the general principles therein 
 maintained, became an additional motive with the 
 writer in consenting that the entire Correspondence 
 should be thus preserved and circulated. And this 
 especially, since many of his frienils had u..t access 
 to tile j(mrnals, in which the letters severally 
 appeared. 
 
 It is well known that, to the people of Canada, 
 there are few evils which are more HATKFL't., than a 
 umnt ofchuriti/ among professing Christians. And 
 it is hoped that so " ciiying" an evil, may never 
 become popular among our traiisatlontic consti- 
 tuencies. 
 
 Some even of the intolerant party, are obliged to 
 
 crouch before this oft-expressed sentiment; and 
 I endeavour so to .modifv their uncharitableness, as 
 
 that it may not be perceived by inexperienced and 
 ! unsuspecting persons ; whose suffrages they may be 
 I soli(!itous to secure. These pages may be a touch. 
 
 stone to such Jesuits ; and may serve to bring out 
 ■' their real principles of intolerance, though to their 
 
 own certain confusion. 
 
 j At the same time, it is believed that this publica- 
 ; tion will enable the enlightened mind very clearly 
 to discriminate, between a miserable ecclesiastical 
 I fiction, which is remarkahle for its want of charity ; 
 |ai..i those truly estimable members of ■•)« Church of 
 England, who are an ornament to their Communion 
 land a blessing to their neighbours; and who avow- 
 I edli/ cherish the most kindly affections towards all 
 I genuine Christians, of whatever name or nation ! 
 j The former may, it is true, vaunt themselves upon 
 a fancied and exclusice APosTOLlCAt, succession ; 
 and may presume to restrict savinffi;race to their own 
 particular " order ;" (,is in these introductory re- 
 marks it \^\n be shewn that they do ;) but the lat- 
 ter are evidently and admirably distinguished by 
 real apostolical supplication; and daily pray 
 with " Paul, the apostle," " Guace be with ALL 
 THEM ihitl LOVE ouu LoHD Jnsus Chhist in 
 siNCEniTv, Amen .'" We devoutly add, still in his

 It is but just to subjoin to such n statement, that 
 there are nr'any <if the mombe'-s of the Church of 
 England, who, with the most cordial a'diorrence, do 
 repudiate and disavow, langua^a- and sentiments, 
 such as have bi;un thus extracted fr.nn " tin- Church 
 Newspaper. " 
 
 As the British Wesleyan Methodists were specially 
 made the object of some of these fatiati(yil effusions 
 of high-handed assuinptioti, the subject was noticed 
 in a timely pamphlet, by the Rev. Mitlliew lUchp», 
 A. RL, Chairman of the Wesleyan :\Il.s>ionary 
 District of Western Canada. Through an iiiud- 
 vertency, this able publication did not fall int uie 
 hands of the writer of these letters, until nearly the 
 conclusion of this Correspondence. Froi.i its pre- 
 face the following extract is selected, as an intimation 
 of the nature of that " intolerant bigotiij," on which 
 
 his caustic sentences had been deemed requisite : 
 
 "The last 'Church' is spiced with another 
 gratuitous attack on the Wesleyans ; but, O pudor ! 
 O pietas ! :t is fraught witn inuendoes so mean, and 
 marked by such assassin-like cowardice, as we really 
 did not think even he was capable of. One topic of 
 consolation remains ; much lower he cannot descend. 
 Soon, therefore, he must either rest — if, Indted, his 
 
 turbulent spirit is susceptible of quiescence or le- 
 
 gin to move in an upward direction," &c. kc. 
 ' Soon after receiving Mr. Richey's merited casti- 
 gation, and after public opinion, " in Canada" West, 
 had pronounced its audible and confirmatory 
 " Amen !" it was deemed advisable for " the late 
 kditor" to proceed to England ; being sufficiently 
 recommended, by his ornciAL intoleuance in 
 Canada, from his intolerant party here, to the corres- 
 ponding party in the Parent Country, It was proba- 
 bly regarded as a sufficient passport even to " Wind- 
 SOR and ETON"patroni.ge, that a talented young man 
 should be determined not to acknowlege the claims, 
 or even to recognize the existence, (excepting 
 BELLioERENTLr,) of any other religious commu- 
 nity "in Canada," but of his own Venerable 
 Church. 
 
 This may, in some degree, explain th: occasion of 
 the very extraordinary public assertion, wh ich, by his 
 party, it is said that he did not scruple to make, a( 
 " the Windsor and Eton Cliurch Union Society." 
 Of the "merits" of this pretension it will be seen 
 
 that tht) a«snll!ng M'Olil Profesjior of Theology, 
 prnfeNKeN to be " .not without iob.mi.nu a de- 
 
 MliEHATE JUIXiMENT." 
 
 The chiiractnr of tie assertion, and the air of 
 defiance with which it was annininrcd iti the Pro- 
 vincial publications of the intol.r.int p.irty.dcmandi-d 
 contr.idictiiiii and rebuke. The reader will discover 
 j the manner in which it thu-; became the occasion of 
 this lengthened Correspondence. 
 
 The writ-;r thinks that he is not, himself, ati Indl- 
 vidual of a captious or nn unfriendly temperament. 
 Truly he has no hostile emution of heart, agaiiiMt 
 the CANorn and the catholic members, either 
 of the Church of Kiiiiland, or of any other Clais- 
 ti m Chinvh. Uut he is sen.^iLle of, and thankful 
 for, his rights, as n man and a Christian. And his 
 solemn relation to the Church of Christ, rendered 
 it his duty to spi-ak with these " enemies in the 
 gnte" and to undertake that " their fully shall he 
 known unto all men." As to motives which have 
 been imputed, h- is happy not to be under tfie lit- 
 cesi^ity of defending himself against them. 
 
 If— ".nvDUTirtomyneighb-ur, IK, .i .ehimns 
 myself; and to do to all men, as t would they should 
 do to me ;" then— religious intolerance is, most 
 assuredly, a gross and stupid immorality !— It is, 
 hence, no marvel that an intolerant party should 
 need to be publicly taught, that " there car. he no 
 honesty separate from veracity. " The profession of 
 Christianity, in the keeping of a person who out- 
 RAGES its ciiARirv and integbitv, is, to use the

 undesiringly,) he has, nevertheless, endeavoured to

 He disparages no Christian man, on account of 
 what may be his conscientious views of divine truth. 
 He longs for " the tvorld" to behold, in the hpirit of

 most holy religion, that coiiimanding evidence of its 
 divinity, for which our adorable Savloijr Christ 
 prayed, immediately preceding his corporeal separa-

 of this blessed object that he has, (and in obedience 
 to apostolical injunction,) on this occasion, ventured 
 to — ".MARK them which cause divisions."

 TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING COURIER. 
 
 Sir, — Offences against the laws of propriety, and 
 even against those of truth and justice, not unfre- 
 quently take place, which demand no public inter- 
 ference. But, nevertheless, occasions do sometimes 
 require that the public mind should be called up to 
 the examination and condemnation of public delin- 
 quencies. And such an occasion, I humbly con- 
 ceive to be furnished in the foregoing extract from 
 your journal : a part of a paragraph which mat/ very 
 inadvertently have been admitted to a position, of 
 which the world will pronounce it to be so unworthy. 
 
 It appears that at a public meeting near the Royal 
 residence of England's beloved Sovereign, it has 
 been stated, that, " for whatever Canada possesses 
 of Christian knowledge it was indebted to the 
 Venerable Society for the Propagation of the Gos- 
 pel :" — an Institution connected with the Church of 
 England. 
 
 This Hlulement was made by Mr. Kent, a gen- 
 tleman who is said to have " lived for a considerable 
 time in Clanada ;" and than whom, it is further said, 
 that " the Church of England in Canada, never had 
 a MOBE HONEST ADVOCATE and defciuler." A 
 
 twofold statement, which has been endorsed in the 
 Province itself, by both the Cobourg Star and the 
 Montreal and Morning Couriers. 
 
 I am a friend of the Church of England, and I 
 heartily disbelieve both the statements, and especially 
 the latter ; since I am unable to conceive of honest*- 
 separate from veracity. 
 
 Permit me to ask of you, Mr. Editor, how these 
 statements are to be reconciled with the fact, that 
 for very many years there have been OTUEa Vene- 
 rable Societies long, laudably, and laboriously ope- 
 rating in Canada, (besides the venerable one alluded 
 to ?) To these it will not be denied, by thousands 
 of our Provincial neighbours, thtit Canada is very 
 greatly indebted for, at least a portion of " what- 
 ever it possesses of Christian knowledge." 
 
 Your insertion of this HUMBLE remonstrance 
 in an early number, with your own remarks, will 
 oblige some of your readers. I beg to remain.

 considerable regret that 1 read in the number of the

 TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING COURIER. 
 
 Sir, — Did not the station I have the honour to 
 occupy in this country, demand that I should defend 
 from unjust attack the religinus body to which I 
 belong, respectable men would ac(|uit me of the 
 necessity of replying to any letter of tlie complexion 
 of tliat which appears in your journal of the 5th 
 instant, and signed, " D. Falloon." 
 
 AVith Mr. Falloon I am not personally ac- 
 quainted. But I understand he is one of the 
 clergymen of the Church of England in your metro- 
 politan city. 
 
 to give any currency to the libel which Mr. Har 
 vard has been pleased to utter in his letter. 
 
 Mr. Kent is reported to have said, in a speech 
 delivered in England, at the Windsor and Eton 
 Church Union Society, that C vnada " was in- 
 debted for whatever it POSSESSES of Christian 
 
 siderable time in Canada;' and than whom, it is 
 further said, that ' the Church of England in 
 Canada, never had a more HONEST advocate and 
 defender.' A twofold statement," continues he, 
 " which has been endorsed in the Province itself, 
 by both the Cobourg Star and the Morning and 
 Montreal Couriers. I am a friend of the Cliurch

 And though every indulgent consideration ought 
 to be extended to the circumstance of your cleririil 
 correspondent's having but recently returne<l to his 
 " residence ;" no doubt very greatly overheated, 
 from his summer's "journey up the Ottawa;" yet 
 it is more flattering to one's self-respect to itnagitie 
 an apology, in his open avowal of most perfect want

 Now, Sir, you may perceive that this " friend of ; he has so furiously attached and so unceremoniously

 here, not w ith an undue estimate of the institution 
 in question, nor even with an error respecting that 
 which may be i.ec.itimately called Christian 
 knowledgu, but with a want of both honesty and 
 veracity ; simply because he dared to express a 
 sentiment different from that entertained by Mr. 
 Harvard and his brethren on the state of religion 
 in this Province !

 It is very much in the taste of some of the " hon-

 unduly, as it appears to me, to disparage the un- 
 derstandings of mankind in general. They tell

 the most inimitable grace of the most perfect 
 assurance ; to which they are not backward to add, 
 the most obnoxious things that "ought not to

 to make the slightest attempt at defending it ; nor is 
 it for that purpose I have taken up my pen, but 
 merely to point out to your readers the infamy of 
 this mode of attack : and perhaps it was the same 
 feeling, Mr. Editor, that induced you to give this 
 letter in all its naked deformity to the public. If 
 Mr. Harvard, however, fancies that the sec- 
 tarian associations existing here and in England are 
 " Venerable Societies" also, which are engaged iti 
 '• operating in Canada," perhaps he would do well 
 to pursue " the even tenor of his way," and to let 
 those alone, on whom all the filth which he can 
 collect in his filthy pen would never suffice to 
 leave a single stain.

 any one be courageous and independent enough to 
 remonstrate in favour of the " thincs that are," 
 he must make up his mind, so far as they are con- 
 cerned, to be accounted beyond the pale of civiliza- 
 tion, and to be contented with rudeness instead of 
 reasons. 
 
 The doctrine of these "honest advocates" is, 
 " There ought to be no Church, but the Church of 
 England. There is, in fact, no true Churcli hut the 
 Church of England." I ain far from thinking that 
 this will suit the meridian of Montreal, in its present 
 distinguished and deserved position of eminence 
 among the American Cities of the British Empire. 
 Many reasons exist, on which I will not enlarge, 
 for the sentiment I here express, 
 
 I hope it would be a pain (o me to misrepresent 
 the language of any person. But, in my view, the 
 Windsor speech of Air. Kent seems to proc^laim the 
 following : — " In Canada, there never have been

 On second thoughts, that writer may himself see, 
 somewhat astonished that you lent your assistance in the style and temper of his communication in

 rendered it necessary yet more fully to put himself

 munity, by some further remarks. It is said some 
 of his friends deeply feel this to be the case. And I

 to whether very many others beiades myself, had or 
 had not, just grounds of complaint both against the 
 Windsor speaker, and all his applauders in this

 At the same time, any person who may con- 
 scientiously think, that in these words Mr. Kent 
 spoke THE TRUTH, iu the ears of England's Queen, 
 is perfectly welcome not only to the said opinion, 
 but also to all the honour which may attach in con-

 Had Mr. Harvard contented himself with de- 
 nying Mr. Kent's assertions, and had he gone on 
 to prove that " Canada is not indebted for what- 
 ever it possesses of Christian knowledge to a cer- 
 tain voluntary and venerable Association in the 
 Church of England," there could have been no 
 reasonable objection to such a course. It was Mr. 
 H's. tvant of courtesy, in the first instance, in accusing 
 anoth"r of lying, that Killed forth the tincourteous 
 reply o. a friend of Mr. Kent's, and which, it ap- 
 pears, has given such unpardonable offence ! Our 
 object lias been to put a stop to any furthe. discus- 
 sion on the subject, for the reasons already stated ; 
 and if Mr. Harvard is determined not to let the 
 matter drop, we have only to repeat that we can- 
 not lend our columns to the revival of the discus- 
 sion. 
 
 Vi'e perhaps erred in inserting any correspondence 
 on the subject, in the first instance ; for were we to 
 give up our space to «. sry one who might think it 
 necessary to cavil at what appears in our columns, 
 
 extracts and all — we would have a comfortable 
 
 time of it in the management of our Journal, &c. &c. 
 
 No. 5. From the Courier. 
 
 A day or two since, we stated that we had re- 
 ceived a lettc.' from the Rev. Mr. Harvard, the 
 insertion of which in our journal wiis then under 
 "consideration." Upon consideration, we now 
 • decline to publish it, and for the following rea- 
 sons : — 
 
 Firstly, — "NVe look upon the subject which gave 
 rise to the discussion as a matter almost forgotten, 
 and we have no disposition to revive it now. 
 
 Secondly, — Mr. Harvard has already replied 
 to the communication complained of, and to his 
 l.'tter no rejoinder has been made, nor likely to be 
 made. 
 
 Thirdly,— If Mr. Harvard's object is to force 
 a reply from his opponent, we do not consider that 
 we ought to encourage him in his effort. To quote [ 
 from IMr. Harvard himself, — we do not wish to 
 have the saying " See how these Christians hate 
 one another," applied to ourselves in any way, iwr 
 to the denomination to which ice belong, if we in 
 prevent it. 
 
 No. 7. From the Montreal Herald. 
 
 It is not without reluctance, that we have admitted 
 the Rev. Mr. Harvard's letters into the columns of 
 the Herald ; our reasons being, that discussions, in 
 the newspapers, upon matters affecting the relative 
 merits of religious bodies, seldom, if ever, tend to 
 edification, oi to the promotion of that " good will 
 
 TOWARD MEN," whick is THE SECOND COMMAND- 
 MENT of the Law ; and which the Ministers of 
 religion in all Christian Communities, ought more 
 especially to bear in mind. At the same time, we 
 have, after mature consideration, come to the con- 
 clusion, that, under the circumstances, \„ would be 
 UNFAni to refuse Mr. Harvard an opportunity of 
 publicly vindicating himself, and (although we are 
 not of them, we hesitate not in saying,) the de- 
 servedly, respected, aealous, and enlightened Chris- 
 tian community to which he belongs, from public 
 accusation, or misrepresentation— at least, so long 
 as he confines himself within reasonable limits, and 
 temperately states his arguments and opinions, 
 without wandering into irrelevant personalities. 
 From what we know of Mr. Harvard, we are 
 satisfied that he will do so; and, therefore, do we 
 trust, that good, and not evil, will result from our, 
 in his favour, making an exception to our general 
 rule, of excluding from our columns, whatever may 
 directly or indirectly lead to polemical discussion.

 We have been favoured with another letter om 
 the Rev. Mr. Harvard, and as he calls in question 
 our hesitation even, to insert the letter to which we 
 alluded in a previous numticr, we suppose he will 
 not be satisfied with the rejection of his communi- 
 cations. 
 
 The Rev. writer of these letters appears to forget 
 that he was the first to attack un absent and highly 
 
 to the editor or the Montreal herald. 
 
 Sir, A few weeks ago I had occasion to call in 
 
 question the correcttmss of two statements copied 
 from the Cobourg Star into tlie Morning Courier. 
 
 It was far from my intention to originate any 
 controversy. 1 requested the Editor would inter- 
 pose his iudgment upon an arricle which might have 
 iiccii itiserted withr-ut his «'.vr! privity : at the same 
 time I respectfully assigned my reason lor ques- 
 tioning its accuracy.

 Instead of any editorial remarlts, a letter in reply 
 was inserted from a correspondent ; and which, in 
 a style the most ungentlemanJy, contained a cluster 
 ot the most unwarrantable imputations upon myself 
 and the religious denomination with which I am 
 connected. 
 
 It was hopM the writer, on second thougljts, 
 would make some amende for this hasty and scu'- 
 rilous production ; especially as even some of his 
 own friends were far from being gratified by its 
 publication ; and with this we would have been 
 well satisfied. For this I waited fo.- the space of 
 a month ; the more cheerfully, as I learned he had 
 been suffering f, jm a Hate of ill health. 
 
 No such step having been taken by him, and 
 the station held by him being adapted to afford 
 weight to his expression of sentiment, I deemed it 
 obligatory on me to forward to the Editor the ac- 
 companying letter, as the first of a series to con- 
 sist of SIX ; in which my aim was to write a reply 
 Befitting the occasion. 
 
 . 1 regret to say, the Editor has denied me the 
 justice of its insertion : alleging as one reason, 
 ine time that has since elapsed, though he must be 
 aware that I have waited simply to allow the op. 
 portumty of apology. It is with reluctance I 
 remark on the Editors second reason, namely, that 
 X have already replied ; since in the communication 
 which Ae terms a reply, most explicitly " I waived 
 (for the present,) my aiGHr to heplv," for the 
 sake of his correspondent, whom he no.v wishes thus 
 to screen from merited animadversion. 
 
 It is some satisfaction, that, after allowing his 
 correspondent so unjustifiably to insult mj friends 
 and myself, the Editor of the Courier has at length 
 admitted, that the statement which led to the 
 whole, is— "not altogether correct." I wish 
 he bad done this at first, instead of permitting his 
 friend to do us a public dishonour in his columns, 
 i his would have sufficed me. My only intention 
 wasto prevent a most flagrant falsehood from be- 
 coming current ! 
 
 But, as the case now stands, I conceive that we 
 have been jcst uiifuirly denied the rlpht of being 
 heard in our own defence ; and must, as an mt 
 welcome alternative, request the favour of appearinjt 
 in reply in your respectable journal. 
 
 It would bode ill for the welfare of mankind if 
 all our clerical writers should become " Laud's " 
 and our journals " Star-chambei s," where only the 
 persecutor is to be heard.

 Since my last, in y ar number for August the 
 12th, I have heard 'hat your correspondent has 
 Leen'recently created a Doctor of Divinity, hy the 
 Faculty of M'GiV College, in Montreal; and that 
 Jie has also been appointed Theolngical Professor of 
 that seat of learning. Had I been previously 
 aware of this, it is due to myself to say, my letter 
 would not have referred to my unknown assailant, 
 as " D. Falloon." The Scripture enjoins upon us 
 to " Be courteous." And I would most cordially 
 despise the meanness of denying to any individual 
 a designation attached ♦© his standing, by the ordi- 
 nary civilities of cultivated society. 
 
 I repeat it. It is to me most painful to be 
 obliged uncommendingly to refer to the conduct of 
 another person. But the path of duty is not always 
 to be identified by 'ho degree of pleasure with 
 which it may be trodden. " The Apostle of the 
 Gentiles" was under the unwelcome necessity of 
 publicly opposing even his beloved fellow-labourer, 
 St. Peter. His words, in reference to that mourn- 
 ful occasion of his public life, are, " When Peter 
 was come to Antiocli I withstood him to the face ; 
 because he was to be blamed." And elsewhere he 
 exhorts : " 27jem that sin, (fiagrantly,) rebuke before 
 all ; that others also may fear ! "

 ■yVhen we refused insertion to Mr. Harvard s 
 letters (after having published two from him,) we 
 also gave Dr. I'alloon io understand that we wished 
 the matter to drop, so fa.* as we were concerned ; 
 and we were glad to learn from the latter gentleman, 
 that it was not his intention to reply to Mr. Har- 
 vard, but that he was willing to let him have the 
 "last we'd." With this Mr. H. was not satisfied, 
 but wanted more "last words." 
 
 It appears, however, that both Mr. Harvard 
 and the Editor of the Herald are determined not 
 to let the matter drop ; and we consequently think 
 ourselves no longer bound to interfere between the 
 parties, who will now be left at liberty to discuss 
 the question as they may see fit.

 No. 8. From the Courier. 
 We give insertion to the following correspond- 
 ence with mu-h reluctance. It was our wish, as 
 the readers of the Cou? ier well know, to prevent 
 any further discussion on the subject to which it 
 relates. The Editor of the Herald, however, 
 having taken a ditt'irent view of the matter, and 
 having thrown open his columns to Mr. Har- 
 vard's effusions, we have been compelled to com- 
 ply with Dr. Falloon's request to publish his 
 letter to the Editor of the Herald, and whic'a was 
 refused insertion in that Journal 
 
 Written by the Theological Professor. 
 to the editor of the morning courier. 
 Mb. Editor, — T regret that circumstances oldige 
 me to request your insertion of the accompanying 
 letter in the Morning Courier, notwithstanding 
 your former hesitation to publish any thing more 
 on the subject of which it treats. This you owe 
 to your own character as well as to mine, as you are 
 yourself charged with injustice, in not giving pub- 
 licity to Mr. Harvard's letters, as lung as he 
 wished to write them. 
 
 When your quondam correspondent first pub- 
 lished his libel on Mr. Kent's character, I knew 
 little aliout him, but / loas aware that he icas a 
 Methodist preacher in the British Connexion ; 
 and I felt it iry duty to notice his attack upon that 
 gentleman with some severity, which was not 
 greater than I intended, or than his conduct de- 
 served. His subsequent letter, which appeared in 
 your columns on the 12th of August, I gave but a 
 hasty glance, but the impression it left upon my 
 mind was, that not content with calling Mr. Kent 
 a liar, he had committed the same off'ence towards 
 all the members of the Church of England. How- 
 ever, upon ic-perusing that document, / find I 
 was mistaken, it was only against " some of the 
 ' HONEST ADVOCATES '" of that Church he brings 
 this charge. His words a.e : — "They tell the 
 most palpable ' things that are not,' with the most 
 inimitable grace of the most perfect assurance ; to 
 which they are not backward to add, the most 
 obnoxious things that 'ought not to be; ' with no 
 less self-complacency." Upon this letter, you are 
 aware, I made no remark; partly because the 
 question at issue is one that admits of no " discus- 
 sion ; " and partly because, if it even did, I could 
 not think of placing myself in the uegrading posi- 
 tion of discussing any subject with a man who has 
 such an invincible predilection for impeaching the 
 VERACITY of every person who may happen to 
 
 We cannot here help remarking upon the incon- 
 sistency of our contemporary, in refi'sing to pub- 
 lish Dr. Falloon's reply to Mr. Harvard's first j (/,|^i;r!i!i7/i /li'm / and that " with the most inimitable 
 communication to him, and then afterwards insert- | grace of the most perfect assurance." But Mr. 
 
 ing more of the hitter's writings. When the Edi- 
 tor of the Herald declined to insert the letters of 
 the one, he should not, in our humble opinion, 
 have inserted any more from the other party. 
 
 * The Editor of the Herald declined the insertion, 
 innsmiK'h us tlio Professior had t\\e ^lorning and Montreal 
 Couriers at iii^ scrvii-r ; stiil pfiiiiiisiiif; that it shr.iiM aj>- 
 pear in ease of its refusal on tlie part of those Journals. It 
 will be fnu.-.d, however, to be a document not much more 
 creditable to its author, thc^ was his former epiatle. 
 
 Harvard's object was, not to rejdy to the charge 
 I brought against him, but if possible to divert the 
 attention of the public from the turpitude of his 
 own conduct by a religious controversy ; and 
 through the medium of your columns to bring 
 himself into a little more notoriety.

 MR. KENT AND THE PROFESSOR 
 THEOLOGY. 
 
 LETTER THE SECOND. 
 
 " If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil ; but if 
 well, why smitest tliou me/"' — John xviii. 2!l. 
 
 TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING COURIER. 
 
 Sir, — The uncourteous assault of Dr. Falloon 
 upon myself and friends, arose from my havitig 
 called in question the assertion of the Cohonrg Star, 
 that Mr. Kent was one of the most '" honest" 
 ADVOCATES oftlie English Church in Canada; and 
 which was coupled with .v most dishonest libel by 
 \ him, on every other Church in the Province but his 
 [own. My justification, for having so done, will be 
 |attempted in this and the following letter. 
 
 I have wished to cast no imputation on the 
 general veracity of Mr. Kent. Never have I had 
 the happiness to see him : nor am I aware if he 
 irld any other •jtation in this country but that of 
 2ditor of the Toronto Church journal. Most as- 
 suredly I have no feeling of auiniosity against Mr. 
 
 mitted to have disparaged his reputation ior profei,- 
 sionnl honesty. 
 
 If, in one of our civil courts, any advocate were 
 to make before a jury, and on his own personal 
 authority, :. statement equally untrue a>:<l unjust, 
 with that made by Mr. Kent at the " Windsor and 
 Eton" meeting, and for which he has been so lauded 
 by the Cohontg Star, its foreman miaiht be expected 
 to say to his brother jurors, " This is not an honest 
 advocate : he has stated that to be true which evenj 
 one ought to know to be most flagrantly false 1" 
 
 Surely every one ought to know, at least, who 
 assumes to be an authority, that for very, very many 
 years of its first settlement, the number of the min- 
 isters of thtf English Church in Canada was most 
 exceedingly small : few of the other churches in the 
 Province had so few of their clergy on the groutid ! 
 And hence, that long before that Venerable Com- 
 munity felt in circumstances to aid the moral ne- 
 cessities of the country, ita woods and swamps, and 
 rivers and mountains, were most meritoriously 
 traversed by enterprising ministers of religion, 
 belonging to " other" churches ! 
 
 I am exceedingly sorry to be obliged in my own 
 defence to add, as I shall hereafter shew, that to 
 Mr. Kent, these facts could not fail to be known. 
 The result of their labours, appears, even now, in 
 almost every part of the Provitice ; to instance 
 multitudes of respectable and opulent and influential 
 settlers, both in the country and in the towns ; 
 some of whom have been sent to the Senate, and 
 others even called to the Council, and not a few of 
 whom preside in otir local courts and ornament our 
 Provincial bench of Magistracy. 
 
 Let me also, Mr. Editor, request your attention 
 to not a few very flourishing congregations of Chris- 
 tian worshippers in various parts of the Province ; 
 from whom, indeed, it might, without ort'ence, be 
 stated, that our friends oftlie English Church first 
 learueu to build churches and schools, without the aid 
 of Governnent Donations, Parliamentary Grants, 
 or Incorporated Societies. They need not be 
 enumerated for the sake of the argument. But, in 
 passing, and as a fact by which the total number of 
 these insulted Christians may be imagined, it may 
 be observed, that among the rciit, i^and not presuming 
 to exalt themselves above others,) the Wesleyan 
 Methodists of Canada, alone. ha\". considerably 
 more than a hnndied thousand souls under their care. 
 I resj)e(!tfully ask the Morning Courier, is it 
 then to be borne, in silence, that either the exist- 
 ence or the fidelity and intelligence, cf hundrerta 
 of thousands of Christians iti this Proviiice, ohali 
 be absolutely denied before the people of England? 
 Can it be fur the interests of truth and rightepusncss,

 a considerable 
 
 various other churches will best evince what they 
 were respectively doing, by God's blessing, in the 
 same holy undertaking. 
 
 •' Save me from my friends!" has been a fre- 
 quent prayer ; and may not be deemed unsuitable 
 to the present caie. It is not improbable that Mr. 
 Kent himself would not contend for the exact ac- 
 curacy of his statement. We may excuse it as an 
 unintentional " trope," which escaped him in his 
 ardent endeavour to interest and to grutify the 
 Etonians. He may not thank his " Cohourg 
 Star," for hovering over it, with such tendency 
 to attract to it a critical examination ; nor feel 
 flattered that " wise men" from the Canada " East," 
 should do it such homage, as the most striking 
 proof that their '* most honest advocate," possessed 
 ' a— tender " conscience 1" 
 
 Hut, as his " hicnds," yourself, Mr. Editor, and 
 Doctor Fulloon, must be allowed to be the best 
 judges of this. You have, at length, both united 
 in acknowledging the incorrectness of Mr. Kent's 
 statement, but you defend his hi*rt at the expense 
 of his HEAD, by irnintaining th( " ''le party con- 
 scientiously believed," to thf f i. f .mount of his 
 wordu. Doctor Falloon, at the same time, clings 
 to the statement itself, incorrect though i: pro- 
 nounces it to be: with the most fervent fondness ! 
 KiNDnEi) MINUS, in their less "responsible" po- 
 sition, look on with intense solicitude, to see this 
 posi defended, if not by Christianly and even gen- 
 tlemanly arguments, yet by such other means as he 
 has already evinced, are most abundantly it hit: 
 command, and which they are too happy to have 
 plentifully used in their behalf. 
 
 I should lament, even were it in my power, to 
 do Mr. Kent any individual injuryi who, I have 
 only now learnt, is but a " young gentleman." 
 That he had his admirers and his excellencies, will 
 
 Increase of church tiiinisters; some of whom, I 
 im happy to say, are clergymen of the most esti- 
 iiable character and temper. But it stands on 
 ■ecord in " The C/itirc/i " newspaper, that for the 
 [/•*/ fifly-three years of its cohmial relation to our 
 father-land, the Church of England employed hut 
 lix ministers in the whole of IVestern Canada ; and 
 For the last thiity-yeara of which, (independently 
 if other settlers,) she had "ten thousand" of her 
 \embers and friends "located" therein, in the 
 lournful circumstances thus described ! 
 During the above protracted period of most un- 
 justifiable neglect, by " the Church of the Em- 
 lire," nearly tu-o generations of Canadian people 
 »assed :ito the eternal world! — Every right- 
 minded churchman will feel the dishonour and the 
 guilt of such neglect ! And he will admit that 
 this is not the country in which "exclusive 
 CLAIMS " are to be made in the behalf of his 
 church ! 
 
 Let it not be concluded, that all other Christian 
 churches equally disregarded the moral necessities 
 of Canada. To the self-complacent and the super- 
 cilious of the "clergy" and "advocates" of the 
 present day, we would say, " Other men laboured, 
 and ye are entered into their labours." And, when 
 it is borne in mind, the thousands of immnrtal 
 beings who were "thinly scattered over a large 
 surface of country " — " two or three families in a 
 township" — "their nearest neighbour many miles 
 distant" — "no road to facilitate inter- 
 course!" — how shall we sufficiently estimate the 
 degree of toil or the amount of efficacy connected 
 with the ministry of that day? 
 
 Surely, we cannot too highly rate the services of 
 those venerated clergymen of " other churches," 
 who, nevertheless, did carry amongst those multi- 
 tudes, who were in danger of perishing " through ^ 
 
 lack of knowledge," the ordinances of religion and i not bn controverted, but, as a writer, and "in 
 the gospel of salvation ! The congregations which | Canada," it cannot be denied, that his talented 
 they formed, remain to attest the real character of j composite is were specially distinguished by the 
 their ministry ! i unfriendliness and even the intolerance of his tem- 
 
 Mr. Kent could not be vnacquninted with the ! per towards those who were not of his own com- 
 
 timony of his own journal, here given. This organ ' munion. In relation to such of his fellow-citizens, 
 
 test 
 
 of his own Church has furnished us with the names 
 and the dates — has presented to the world the 
 evidence, that, (so far from her " Gospel Propaga- 
 tion Society" having originated all the Christian 
 knowledge of the " Province,") for the first fifty- 
 three years of its being a British Settlement, fthe 
 most indebted period, because the least inviting,) 
 the " thousands" of the people of Canada were 
 most deeplv "indebted, fur whatever they 
 possessed of Christian knowledge,"to other churches, 
 RATHER than to the Church of England ! — 
 
 It affords me pleasure to record of one of these 
 
 he displayed the most indistinct notions of either 
 charity or justice. Let " T/ie Church" journal be 
 taken as indicating the real animus of his Windsor 
 speech. But since he has not himself put in the 
 claim, I have the less difficulty in hoping that he 
 did not really mean all he said ; and especially since 
 it is not unusual for the feelings of an extempo- 
 raneous speaker, to hurry him beyond the limits 
 which his better judgment might prescribe. 
 
 That, by such a speaker, such a statement could 
 
 be " conscientiously believed," would be accounted 
 
 a mystery in the philosophy of morals ; and is an 
 
 " venerable" communities, (the Moravian Church,) I admission which could only be conceded, by men of 
 
 that its clergy commenced their Missionary opera- 
 tions in this Province, so early as the year 1792 ; 
 now upwards of fifty years ago ! " The settle- 
 ment they then founded, became a regular Town- 
 ship ; about twelve miles long and six wide ; and 
 was so well cultivated, that the wilderness was 
 literally changed into a fruitful field : and at the 
 close of 1812, the number of communicants was 
 one hundred and twenty-six." These chif ily con- 
 sisted of converted red men of the forest ! Further 
 •tutistics are not hero required. The records of the 
 
 sense, as one of the merest possibilities, and on the 
 principle of the ancient aphcirism, that " bigotry 
 has neither e.\rs nor eyes !" 
 
 In conclusion, I must mourn over the fact, that 
 two journals in Montreal should decide in the face 
 of day, that it is a mere "perhaps," as to whether 
 or not the Gospel Propagation Society has originated 
 " whatever" Christian knowledge may be found 
 in the Province ! Such is llic estimate tiiry nave 
 formed of the public mind ! Were they correct in 
 imagining that they will satisfy readers in jjeneral.

 '*" l''rom''what'ever cause it hap,)enpd, it has been the following points; which, with other bearings of 
 roved that .Mr Kent stated " Tin; tiiinc that is an unlovely aspect, will be found to exhibit, most

 ' NOT ;" yet I have truly desired that some plau^il)le 
 I excuse minht be made for hiin. In Toronto, where 
 [he "resided," there are several other Cllri^tian 
 \ congregations, boides those of his ort'ii Church. 
 This remark applies also to many others of the res- 
 pectable towns of this Province : while, in some 
 towns, a congregation of that church has never yet 
 been formed even ! 
 
 The following particulars, taken f om the Census 
 
 FiKSTi.Y In his '* explanatory letter," Dr. 
 
 F.illoon is specially desirous of t->tablishing the 
 position, that his former commiini irtion related 
 singly and solely to myself. He most solemnly de- 
 nies any accusation of any " parties" but me indi- 
 vidually. This point is much laboured. And that 
 I may do him no injustice, his own words shall be 
 
 for 1844, wil' shew the relative proportions of the | given ; they are as follows :—" My accusation, ns 
 numbers of the other dmrches, in Mr. Kent's own 
 
 town, Toronto : — 
 
 Total population 18,420 
 
 Deduct Jews. 18; persons of no 
 
 church, 210 228 
 
 Professing population 18,202 
 
 Church of England, (including military 
 
 and children) 7,921 
 
 Reported as belonging to " other 
 churches" in Toronto 10,281* 
 
 To say, therefore, that the late Editor of " The 
 Cliurch," KKCEtiTUY "having resided" in TonoNTO, 
 " CONSCIENTIOUSLY bemeved" that, "for WIIAT- 
 EVEit Christian knowledge Canada possessed, it 
 ■was indebted to the Gospel Propagation Society of 
 the Church of England," would be, to use your 
 correspondent's favourite phrase, to attempt to cover 
 one " lie" by tiie shameless fabrica'jon of .mother. 
 And if the truth of the original statement be con- 
 tended for, we have but to add, (again in doctorly 
 style,) that if persons will speak " LiEi\" no number 
 of " MILES OFF," either can or ought to protect 
 them from a condign reprehension. 
 
 Sincerely rejoiced am I to understand, that

 ' you are pleased to call it, is therefore directed 
 against Mr. Harvard personally." And again, 
 " I cannot permit Mr. Harvard to seek the sym- 
 pathy of religious parties, by saying, I was making 
 an attack upon them !" I am sorry to ask, is this 
 truth or falsehood ? 
 
 From his former communication the following sen- 
 tence is selected : — " Those who trade in disunion, 
 and receive their support by the propagation of 
 schismati' ■•' Mrinciples." Again, " Mr. Harvard and 
 HIS brethren." And again, " If Mr. Harvard/au- 
 cies, however, that the Sectarian Associations 
 existing here and in England, are Venerable So- 
 cieties, also," &c. 1 Ask any schoolboy if these are 
 singular or plural ? To whom are these aspersions 
 and sarcasms intended to apply — to others as well 
 ns to ME ; or, as the Professor of Theology thinks to 
 be believed when he insists, to " Mr. Harvard 
 personally ?" 
 
 Secondly In the same explanatory letter. Dr. 
 
 Falloon shrinks, naturally enough, from the public 
 charge I had brought against him, of having pub- 
 licly misrepresented the body of Christians \.ith 
 w hich I am connected ; and he has the infatuation to 
 charge me with " lying," (to use one of his own 
 classicalsj for liaving said that he had done so. His 
 words are, " you have been grossly misled by 
 Mr. Harvard, when you coupled my name with 
 p!/?(/ic accusation or misrepresentation of the Metho- 
 dists." In reference, however, to the aspersions 
 quoted under the first neao, ha himscl. s-iys, 
 " this remark was not intended to be applied to the 
 prcaclicrs of Methodism, more than of Congre-

 It surely was a charge, which a person making a 
 [conscience of upea/tiny the truth on ull occunions, 
 could never have preferred against me, uithoitt the 
 ^moDl suhstantiol iiiithoiity, and for which, the Pro- 
 Ifcssor i)( Theology knows Firi.n welt., he does 
 not possess even the least semblance of proof, or 
 GUOCNI) of ausriciDN 1 
 
 II' I were to use a few of his own "fine wonh," 
 of " olden times," and thus turn one of his uiicour- 
 teous St teiices against himself, I might siiy, t lat 
 he appeal s to have detcniiined to discharge n\, me 
 " III! the Jii'h he could culled into his Jilth- pen;" 
 with the hope that, at le: st, some of it would fasten 
 on, to iry disfiguration. Unhappily, this seems to 
 derive some support from : — 
 
 SiXTiir.v His harmless but disingenuous at- 
 tempt to fix upon me some lasting " infamy." — 
 The term is his own! Its paraphrase will .'oilow 
 in his own words: — "I phesumk, luid you not 
 been wholly vnnaptainted with the peiison, whose 
 letter you admitted into ydur columns, you would 
 NEVKU have given it insertion." 
 
 I may truly say, that this has given me no kind 
 of uneasiness ; nor have I any improper resentment 
 against Dr. Falloon, on account of it. Glad .dial' 
 I be should any future '•ontingency put it in my 
 power to do him some friendly service. But I 
 think it due both 'o him and iiiys-lf, to place his 
 insinuation before the reader again, and to ask 
 respectiible persons if my jirocedure oil this oc- 
 casion, has justly merited for me such an aspersion ? 
 Is there no standard of propriety by which such a 
 sentence would meet with reprobation ? Or is it 
 one of the privileges of persons of his station to he 
 di'feiided in such " violent dealing ?" 
 
 My character may he taken to be, unworthy erere 
 of the Morniny Courier, as Dr. Fallcion would wish 
 your readers to believe it is, and as you, Mr. Eilitoi, 
 have allowed him, in your columns, to represent it 
 to be; and that too "without benefit of clergy." 
 Ill refusing any opportunity of reply, you heartlessly 
 •\\n\ flippantly say of your correspondent's offensive 
 discourtesy, " and which, it appears, Iwis given such 
 unpardoiiable offence ;" How little of " the golden 
 rule" is here ! Nor can it enhance yi>ur professional 
 famp, that I am iiidebted to the coiiducto-s of nDotlier 
 jiiuriial, and who have a better 8en«e of justice, for 
 the means of replying to the calumnies you have ' 
 
 made. Set'iiig the Theulogn .il Professor has made 
 two such discorihint statemmts, relative to "the 
 person," whose letter voil admitted in your columns, 
 which of the two dues he wish lo lie believed ? On 
 the authority of this clergyman, i-> he such a one as 
 that, " had you rot been wiioi.l.v unacquainted 
 with THE PERSON, you never would have inserted 
 his letter ?" or is the Dr. tube considered as speaking; 
 the truth, when he says, '• I know not the 
 MAN !" 
 
 I have nothing further ii. siv, so far ns I am 
 myself concerned. And this would not have been 
 said by myself, had you, .Mr. Editor, pi'rmitted my 
 friends to reply in my behalf. Hut, «ith singular 
 unfairness, yiii refused them ; nayiiig I should speak 
 for myself, and then denied me the defence you had 
 yourst If ruled that I shoulil make, ant myself only ! 
 No" should I have wished to have noticed the above 
 personalities, had there been any thing conciliating, 
 instead of still more insulting, In Dr. Falloon's 
 subse(|iient " etfu^ions." 1 am a man of peace, it 
 is true ; but peace would be purchased too dearly, 
 by the pusillanimous surrender of the siicred interests 
 of public truth and individual character. 
 
 I am not aware of having fallen into any thing 
 unchristian. In the course of this painful review. 
 The imount of [lersomil provocation would be an 
 apology, even for that. Hut it must be considered, 
 that sentences of gentle reproof, do not touch the 
 heart of your reverend correspondent, variously 
 ENTiiENCHED, as he SUPPOSES himself to be. Solar 
 as one's own self-respect may admit, he must be 
 approached in his own homely style, so as to chtrish 
 the hope of his becoming sensible, (to use one of his 
 own sentences intended fur me,) of "the turpitude 
 of his conduct." 
 
 Dr. Falloon will have learnt that our paternal 
 OoverniTient has disclaimed any intention of es- 
 tablishing any dominant and exclusive church in this 
 Province; and that himself and his "Montreal 
 Courier anel Church Intellioencer," will in con- 
 sequence have to adopt other tactics, in HniTiSH 
 America ; excepting they wish to draw the public 
 attention to a moral nuisnnce of incessant provoca- 
 tion in a Province, in which all considerate nien are 
 labouring for honourable peace and evangelical good 
 will.

 Your clerical correspondent is incapable of con- 
 cealing the enmity of his heart towards, as he ex- 
 jiiesses it, the Methodists of " the Biuti?ii Con- 
 NiMON." lie designates us, "Sectarian" — 
 
 " Schismatical" " Keligionists" " Traders" ! 
 
 Unlovely bitternesses these, flowing from, what the 
 Prayer-book terms, from the Greek, the " phro- 
 nema siirkns" of an unsan<-titied nature. 
 \ The term " Sectauian" is an ancient epithet of 
 iS, ecclesiastical oiiprobriiim, with whicli the intolerant 
 <|of llie Establishiil (.'liurches of the parent country 
 were formerly wont to degrade other religious 
 bodies, as contradistinguished from " Churches es- 
 tnllislicd hy Low." Of late years, however, the 
 scdinful appellation has become of exceedinuly in- 
 fi r(|nent use ; even on the other side of the .■llldutic I 
 lictter feelings have prevailed in those Established 
 < liurches ; and those who have not parti(^i|)ated in 
 that amelioration of sentiment, have yet considered 
 it the most probable method ol' still pi cserviny their 
 t'Xi'hisive privileges, to abstain from offensively re- 
 ]>roarhiiiir the less fivoiired communities : seeing 
 that ihey might, ])robably, be even ])rovoked into 
 Borne species of retaliation, with rei^ard to those 
 Valued and vaunted [loints of superlative siipt-riority. 
 Should a (.'hur<:li " vaunt" itself, however, on its

 verts to (Jod, and the beiietits it confers on the 
 f' country, rather than on the revenues it re<'eives, 
 I anil the immunities it possesses. The latter may 
 I excite envy; only the former can command adiiii-

 The two establi>liments of our father-land are, 
 however, perfectly local in their pretensions of su- 
 periority, on account of that circumstance in their 
 consiitution. The " dominant" jiu'isdiclion of the, 
 Pi!EsnYTEi{iAN, Is contiued to '' Scotland ;" and 
 that of the Episcopaman, to " Enpland, and 
 Ireland, and Jlenitich-u/ion-Ticeed." In any other

 dent of being " eslahlished hy lair ;" and become 
 each, in the etymological an<l inoffensive sense ofthi; 
 word, ns truly and really a sect, as any other body 
 of Christians may be ! I am sorry to be obliged to 
 say even this much, in our own defence, to the 
 M' Gill Colleye and Montreal Courier party . Shiuild

 more conciliating attitude, wiih respect to tlieir fel-

 who, having no Wishi/an ntiinities, may say still 
 mor<' to tliem on the subject ; not only in luii/Ush

 ful are the wounds of a friend !" 
 
 " Sectarians," let lis be. The AVesleyans will 
 feel themselves in sufficiently good company with 
 the better-disposed nieiribers of that venerable 
 church, which has been disijraced by this out-of-place 
 disjiaragement of her fellow-Christians, on the part 
 of her would-be-deeined champion ! The occasioti 
 may be an ajiology for the mention of a few facts, 
 bearing upon our ecclesiastical hibtory in this 
 country. 
 
 Our CoNNEXroNAL Cnt'Rcn was first intro- 
 duced into Canada, hy itidividuals attached to the 
 victorious army of the immortal 'W'or.FE ! They 
 held their first elm rcdi meetings in Queliec, HEFonp, 
 any Protestant Minister of any Church had been 
 appointed for any part of this Province ! For some 
 years tliey were supjilied with resjiectable ministers 
 from the United States. Three of these, nil hon- 
 oured with the degree of Doctor in Divinity, sitill 
 survive, in an honourable age. 
 
 HuiTlsir Jlissionaries of our order, were sent out 
 at the request of some influential Canadian citizens, 
 at a time when, probaldy, the number of English 
 Cler;rymen <lid not exceed a dozen ! 
 
 Subse(|nently, our Wesleyan Church received the 
 honour of an a|)plication, from the venerable an<l 
 revered Chown of our Emiiire, to encrease the 
 number of its ^Missionaries in Canada ; yp 
 special reference to the Aboriginal IinliaiMf:' Tliiil ^ '

 But, to be more serious. The promotion of 
 ' schism" among Christian people, has been stamped 
 
 ith tlie character of no ordinary enormity, by the 
 lupreme authority of divine Revelation. The 
 •schismatic," therefore, iu, by common consent, 
 randed with infamy, in all well-regulated Christian 
 
 ofall parties have 'rive'n i'.mmunities. This revolting characteristic, how- 
 :.. .1 . .. "=6""=" i,™„ !...„.» ^ftoii mlunnnliprf. with the intentional 
 
 fver, has been often misapplied, with the intentional 
 
 lisp.'vragement of persons to whom, taken in its re al 
 
 neaning, it was utterly inapplicable ! In the present 
 
 nstance, the M'Gill Professor has most grievously 
 
 5ITHER misapprehended or misrepresented the 
 
 lignification of the appellation, with which he has 
 
 dispersed our " principles." If the former, it might 
 
 ^ pleaded against his being a collegiate professor of 
 
 any sort; and if the latter, least of all will he be 
 
 ladapted to become a "TiiEot.oGiCAt, professor."

 with the Greek, any more than the Latin ; and of 
 his skill in the latter, we have had a most graceful 
 exemplification in his '.' omne qnod exit in ism."

 to it, as an unwelcome alternative, they at length, 
 for a number of i. ions, regarded it with prefer- 
 ence. 
 
 My sp.tce will not admit of a detailed defence 
 and justification of our present position, aa a sepa- 
 rate church. For this, however, we are furnish«d 
 with an ample store of the most suitable materials. 
 Should you, Mr. Editor, desire it, they shall be soon 
 forthcoming. It is only because "I am a friend 
 of the Church of England," that I am satisfied with 
 the fewest possible allusions to these matters. But 
 if the CoZ/e^re-and-the- Courier-party, so far as we 
 are concerned, should prove to be absolutely incor- 
 rigible, I promise them, " in full," to their heart's 
 content. 
 
 Most cheerfully leaving this topic, however, we 
 resume the criticism on the word " schism," 
 Should the Wesleyans be charged with this sin, be- 
 cause some of their fathers separated from the 
 Church of England, on account of sufficient reasons, 
 which they could assign ; then of course, the sepa-

 [given us the result of his critical knowledge of the 
 loriginal "skisma," and of its French ** schisme," 
 I we may avail ourselves of that legitimate authority, 
 [in a few remarks on this sulject. 
 
 Dflitor Johnson defines "schism," as above de- 
 I rived, to be "a separation and division in the 
 I Chunh of God" ! The venerable translators of the 
 English Bible have adopted the terms schism and 
 \ division indifferently. In 1 Cor. i. 10, the text, 
 reads, " that there be no divisions among gou;"^ 
 in the margin they have placed the word " schisms. " 
 In 1 Cor. xii. 25, the text is, " that there should 
 be no schism in the body" ; the word " divisions," 
 is inserted in the margin. " Svhismatical princi- 
 ples," then, are priiuiples by which unscriptural 
 divisions are produced in any religious community. 
 The Wesleyans have sometimes been charged with 
 the sin of ''schism," because some of the early Me- 
 thodists were originally members of the Church of 
 England. With how little propriety it was ever 
 applied to them, may be seen from the fact, that 
 their venerable Founder, John Weslev, was re- 
 fused any further use of the Established Churches, 
 in London ; tirstlv, because, by fervently 
 preaching the doctrines of the Church, he drew so 
 many people to those sanctuaries, as to fill the pews 
 and the aisles, to the great annoyance of the Epis- 
 copal laity of those days, who wished to keep their 
 pews quietly to themselves : and secondl v, because 
 he induced "such numbers to attend the holy Sacra, 
 ment of the J>ord's Supper at their altars, as to dis- 
 please, by so unwelcome an augmentation of labour, 
 the Episcopal clergy, who had to "do duty" on 
 such occasions ! 
 
 In Bristol, his reverend brother Chabi-es Wes- 
 tEV, though also a clergyman in " full orders," was 
 himself refused the Sacrament; and turned out of 
 the chiir:^!'. by ti-.j- heiSiUe nt the order of the offici- 
 ating clergyman, for those unpardonable offences 
 against eix'lesiastical quiet and composure I This 
 was the first occasion of the Wesleyans having 
 tne Sacraments In their own places of worship. 
 
 would render the Anglican Church, herself, but j 
 altogether, a " schismatical" community ! This, 
 notwithstanding the Romish doctors contend that 
 she is, the Wesleyans never have admitted her to 
 be! 
 
 Refusing, therefore, t/»fi< signification of the obnox- 
 ious epithet, (and which would be as incorrect in 
 itself, as it would be inconvenient to our respected 
 friends of the Church of England,) we humbly 
 contend, that to the Wesleyans it cannot apply ; 
 seeing we are now, neither " in" that Church ; nor 
 can it be shewn that we are guilty of producing 
 " division in" that, or any other church of Christ, 
 upon the face of the earth. 
 
 The great M 'hodist family, with which we hold 
 fraternal fellowship, is computed to include nearly 
 eight millions of souls : not one in a thousand of 
 whom, in all probability, ever communicated at the 
 altars of the Church of England. Individuals may 
 occasionally pass from the Anglican to the Wesleyan 
 Church, and vice versa ; but such reciprocal trans- 
 fers would not, in the true signification of the word, 
 subject either of those churches to the charge of 
 " schism" : that term, as we have seen, being alone 
 applicable to a divisive party, retaining membership 
 "in" a church, and endeavouring to promote " se- 
 paration and division in" — such church. 
 
 But, by this aid of Dr. Johnson, we shall discover 
 WHO are, "in deed and in truth," chargeable 
 with the sin of " schism." Notwithstanding all 
 the bold effrontery and ill-bred violence of Doctor 
 Failoon and his " Courier and Church Intelli- 
 gencer," it is contended and believed, that they do 
 not speak the real sentiments of the entire Church 
 of England in Canada, towards their fellow-Pro- 
 testants of other Churches. The false statement of 
 Mr. Kent, and the vulgar •' vituperations" of the 
 M'Gill Theological Professor, ai'e far from being 
 acceptable to a very large and respected class of 
 Church of England people in this Province. At 
 this moment, the tolerant and the intolerant " in^^ 
 that community, have considerable ••division

 among themselves on the subject. And, as th.- 
 Professor and his friends, have but their own party, 
 with them, in this course, it may be easily seen 
 WHO ARE the parties, who " receiee theih sup- 
 POBT, by the propagation of scuismatical priu- 
 eiples !" 
 
 The Theological Professor presumes to sneer, at 
 what he is pleased to term, my " fine words " 
 More fully to meet his " taste," and as I think his 
 effrontery demands it, I will for a moment descend, 
 to say, that his insinuation relative to our bein<^ 
 "TBADEK8 IN DISUNION," is a strong temptation 
 to ruminate on the old adage, " Those who live in 
 </lat$ h*- jses, should not themselves throw stones !" 
 Since he is so adventurous, in attributing un- 
 worthy motives to more worth;/ men, we would ask 
 him, does he think that his own "sectarian" ex- 
 pedition to Canada, some years since, has been 
 altogether forgotten ? 
 
 At that time, and as an unordained Agent of an 
 inconsiderable body of Methodists, originating and 
 chiefly "operating" in Ireland, he sought the suf- 
 frages of the public himself, as " a Methodist (lay; 
 preacher!" His object, then, though happily an 
 unsuccessful one, was to promote a rancorous divi- 
 sion in our Wesleyan community, in this Province. 
 Then did " Dr. Falloon," himself, most earnestly 
 tndeavor to become a " trader in disunion ;" the 
 felicity of the parallel being still more complete, by 
 his then also being " a co-religionist" of Mr. 
 Montgomeiy West, of some notoriety ! The ap- 
 pearance of the "co-religionists," In the venerable 
 CP-staiks theatre, at Quebec; which was fitted 
 up, in some sort, as their humble cathedral, is still 
 very distinctly recollected. 
 
 But, unhappily for th.-ir Canadian enterprise, 
 they were unable to obtai " their support, by the 
 propagation of schismati ' principles ;" and the 
 concern was closed, by th eturn of the parties to 
 their " sectarian" superior in " the Emerald Isle;" j 
 by whom, it is reported, however, that they were 
 not very flatteringly received ! 
 
 We do not question the sincerity of your cor- 
 respondent's subsequent ecclesiastical conversion, by 
 any means. In all probability, even at that earlier 
 period of his career, he was what is termed " irre- 
 gular," because a preferable alterative had not then 
 presented itself. That he is now a thorough con- 
 vert to episcopal order, his " vituperation" regarding 
 hn*' quondam" &nd -tepping- stone "isyi'l will be 
 regarded as a college-demonstration. While his 
 furious assault upon " a Methodist preacher," will 
 serve to place him infinitely above every species of 
 methodistical suspicion. If he can owe " Method- 
 Ism" any obligation, his party may be assured that 
 he new hates it too cordially, to pay it .iny debt of 
 just gratitude 1 
 
 The days in which it was Dr. Fnlloon's highert 
 ambition to be accounted " a Methodist M ly) 
 preacher," may sometimes cast towards him, ik 
 theless, some moral glancings !_But, be it remem- I 
 bered, he never was a member of our body. Nor ' 
 does he appear capable of a just appreciation of the 
 long-developed aims and principles of tl.e British 
 Wesleyan Methodists. Let that be the ex- 
 planation of his unworthy insinuation, (from nis 
 " pen," so harmhss,) that " the preachers of Me- 
 thodism" are mere mercenaiiu ; and that, with 
 
 tttrumenft. Fatal Inefficiency. 
 
 of 
 
 respect to^ them, religion is only a matter 
 " trade, for pecuniary " support 1" 
 
 On the Theological Professor, himself, we do not

 TO THE editor OF THE MORNING COURIER. 
 
 Sir, — The contemptuous and acrimonious attack 
 of the Theological Professor upon the position and 
 principles of the Wesleya'is ; and the supercilious 
 and unholy temper of his intolerant party in general 
 towards them ; will appear the more unjustifiable, 
 when it is understood that, as a body of Cbris'.ians! 
 they were specially raised up, by the Providence of 
 God, to perform the work in which they have been 
 so long, and still continue to be, unceasingly and 
 unoffendingly employed. And that, in consequence, 
 the period in which they were divinely called into 
 existence, forms, in fact, an era in the moral 
 and religious history of our nation, and of the 
 world 1 
 
 British Wesleyan Methodism, the parent 
 stock of all the Methodism upon earth, is perfectly 
 unique in the circumstances of its orisjin. It arose 
 not from any spirit of offensive hostility towards' 
 existing religious institutions, whether among con- 
 formists or non-confonnists. but rather from their 
 deplorable state of fUal inefficiency, as to the high 
 and holy purposes for which they existed. An in- 
 eflicienoy this, which has been more than admitted 
 by their intelligent supporters of that day. 
 
 The earnest solicitude of a few learned and res- 
 pectable individuals, in regard to the salvation of 
 their own souls, was the simple and rnintending 
 cause of ultimately ori:;iiiating a new religious com- 
 munity, which has not a little contributed to the 
 ! promotion of religion, by God's blessing, in Europe, 
 in Asia, in Africa, and in America. 
 j These devout individuals were professors and 
 students in the famed University o/ Oxford, at the 
 commencement of th.- !.-s^t rer.tury. At first, they 
 met in one a. .other's college-apartments, for prayer 
 and reading the Scriptures, and they thus sought, 
 in mutual concert, for that religious aid, which the 
 fearfully irreligious temper of the age denied them 
 in the quarters where it ought to have been afforded !

 the latter of which was applied to them in derision 
 of their adopting <Ae ineMod of living to God, and 
 of living by rule. At length, and as the salvation 
 of souls seemed to demand it, they overstepped the 
 parochial boundaries, and became, what is tech- 
 nically termed, " irregular," by preaching " the word 
 of God" throughout the nation ; sometimes in the 
 churches, and often in the open air ; but generally 
 in places of worship erected for them ; the Lord 
 walking with them. By these means, and with no 
 IDEA of forming a distinct community, multitudes of 
 individuals were reclaimed from vice and wickedness 
 
 an amazing renovation was effected in the national 
 
 character — and, a then approaching crisis of national 
 ruin became averted ! Why, as a people, we should 
 on that account, be despisHd, by " the men of this 
 generation," 't would be difficult to shew I 
 
 For many years, though " irregular," nevertheless, 
 the Wesleyans remained in the Communion of the 
 Church of England; sutToring oftentimes the most 
 rigorous treatment from churchmen of influence, 
 both clergy and laity, who condemned them, as being 
 " righteous, over much." The former frequently 
 held them up to ridicule in their sermons, and 
 sometimes repelled them from their sacramental 
 tables. But the Wesleyans, for many years, netier 
 held their services in " church hours," excepting 
 where the parish church was too small for the 
 population, or in cases in which the parish clergy- 
 man held infidel opinions, or was of notoriously 
 immoral character. However, by a succession of 
 gradually-operating causes, which need not now be 
 enumerated, they, at length, became a separate 
 community. In their obviously teluctant progress 
 to this re.ult, other p:,-»ies enkindled their torches 
 at the Wesleyan altar ; and, at this present time, 
 both churchmen and dissenters have adopted their 
 style of psalmody and of preaching, their pastoral 
 r^rc of souls, and various others of the " methods" 
 of holiness and usefulness, which for a long time 
 distinguished the Wesleyans from all others, partly 
 through the opprobium and scorn by which not a 
 few of both parties agreed to reprobate ihem, and 
 the Wesleyans on the account of them. 
 
 The grateful return for all this, is that, not un- 
 frequently, the rie party censures us, because we 
 are " too churehified," and the other object's to us on 
 account of our not being svjp.:i^':t!y so. But the 
 Divine Being, who called our community into 
 existence, has distinctively and providi-ntially posted 
 us BETWEEN THOSE TWO PARTIES, with somewhat 
 of a //-lenrf/y /euni«4r towards the Church of Eng- 
 land. Thus, if they please, (us they sometimes 
 MOST AFFECTIONATELY do,) tliey, both of them, 
 may acknowledge their obligations to our Wesleyan

 That the British nation, and indeed the world o« 
 large, in those days of early history, " needed" 
 some additional instrumentality for the advancement 
 of religion, those who are acquainted with the facts 
 will not deny. Doctor Southey, the late Poet 
 Laureate of England, and one of our standard 
 national authors, bears a testimony in relation to 
 that subject, which will not be considered incon- 
 clusive. His words, in addition to those at the head 
 of this letter, are : — " There never was less re- 
 ligious feeling, either within the Establishment or 
 WITHOUT, than when Wesley blew his trumpet, 
 and awakened those who slept 1" — CoUoquiet, 
 page, 255. 
 
 We may suppose the case of an estimable mother, 
 at the head of a large business-concern, dishonoured 
 and afflicted by a number of indolent and dissolute 
 sons, who were lowering her credit and estranging 
 her connections to nearly the ruin of her establish- 
 ment. We may imagine a few of these sons, aroused 
 to action by the persevering efforts of some /r«enrf/y 
 neighboHis, and thus enabled to retrieve the afifalrs 
 of their venerable mother ; though still not always 
 sufficiently " awake" to distinguish a friend from a 
 foe. But can we conceive, that any member of 
 such a retrieved family, instead of repaying (or even 
 acknowledging) the obligation, would furiously and 
 bitterly assail, with calumny and hate, the children 
 of these very men, but for whom they might still 
 have "slept," until destruction had come upon them, 
 "as a whirlwind f Men of sense and candour 
 will make the application. ^^ 
 
 Of the circumstances under which " Methodism 
 was originated. Doctor Southey remarks, some- 
 what more in detail, in the truthful words suc- 
 ceeding : — 
 
 " It was a time of great degeneracy, in very 
 many important points. The manners of high life 
 were not indeed so absolutely profligate as in the 
 infamous days of Charles II. But there was a 
 greater degree of general coarseness. Drunkenness 
 had become as much a national vice among the 
 gentry, as it was among the Germans. The learning 
 which the Universities imparted was sound and 
 orthodox, but there was little of it ; and, considering 
 them as Schools of Morals, the course of life 
 there, was better adapted to graduate young men 
 in the brutalizing habits of the society with 
 which they were soon to mingle, than to qualify 
 them for reforming it. The church, therefore, was 
 ill supplied with ministers, the higher prefermenta 
 were bestowed with more reference to connections, 
 than to individual desert," — &c. &c. 
 
 From this statement, Mr. Editor, yoor readers 
 will see that the moral aiid religious condition of 
 the British Empire, at that time, must of necessity 
 have been deplorably, and even disgracefully, 
 degraded ; especially considering thr.i there was a 
 richly endowed national clergy ; (who, at least, had 
 under their controul, the Universities; in which 
 " the course of life" was then so '• brutal- 
 izing !") and whose sworu and sacramental uuiy 
 it was, by God's blessing, to have produced a state 
 of things vastly different from that described by 
 Doctor Southey.

 The above testimony is by a grandson of that 
 clergyman, himself, at this time a minister in the 
 Anglican Church; from whose memoir of his 
 venerated grandfather we also copy the following 
 paragraph :-" Some idea of the rapid "ncreasf 
 winch took place in the numbers of the%va,SeS 
 clergy, may be formed from the fact, which has 
 been recorded that when Mr. liomai,.; first began 
 Im course, (about the year 1740.) he could only 
 reckon up as many as srx on seven, who were 
 Uke-mmded with himself! I„ „ few years, the

 .an this collateral benefit of his unparalleled exertions 
 be fully estimated, as it respects the augmentation 
 of pious agencies, even within the pale of that Estab- 
 lishment itself. 
 
 It seems necessa/y, in Canada, to explain to such 
 intolerant churchmen as sympathize with Dr. Fal- 
 loon in his ecclesiastical exclusiveness, and in bis 
 animosity against the Weslcyans, their truly un- 
 grateful position! The cruel and the criminul 
 '• sleep" of a former day, which notoriously disgraced 
 their Venerable Establishment, must have occasi(med, 
 it is to be feared, (to quote a solemn Scripture,) the 
 " eternal damnation" of hundreds of thousands 
 or SOULS 1 Dr. Falloon dares not attempt to deny 
 at least the tremendous probability ! Ala?, that 
 there are too much of indisputable premises, for the 
 substantiation of the fearful hypothesis ! 
 
 For ages of sinful inaotiot), and shameful cor- 
 ruption, the people of England were taught, both by 
 example and by precept, to live and to die without 
 being " born again !" And this by " the clerov," 
 who impudently claimed to be the onlv suc- 
 1 CESSOKS of " the apostles." The pulpit and the 
 reading-desk were long notoriously at variance! 
 The deluded and confiding population were, by tlieir 
 spiritual guides, led on, " in their sins," and yet, 
 avowedly, " in sure and certain hope of a resur- 
 rection unto everlasting life !" And it is enough to 
 make a heart of stone to bleed, to conceive of the 
 dreadful havoc of human souls which must have 
 been the lamentable consequence ! " For," as 
 our Saviour Christ saith, " if the blind lead the 
 blind, shall they not both fall into the ditch ?" 
 is it for the successors of such men, {with their 
 own eyes not fully open,) uncharitably and con- 
 temptuously to unchristianize their fellow-Chris- 
 tians? It may better befit them to have the 
 " blood-guiltiness" oHhexT " order" ever before them, 
 and to feel themselves to be " less than the least 
 o/a// saints." The encreasing and valued body 
 of pious and truly estimable ministers of the Church 
 of England, (and so distinguished by the'r " charity" 
 to their fellow-Christians of other denominations ) 
 do not, indeed, deserve to be reproached with the 
 flagrant abominations of ungodly predecessors in that 
 " holy office." But men who are disposed to disparage 
 the pious clergy of other evangelical churches, toover- 
 value themselves on account of their own " order," 
 and to excite animosity against " other orders" of 
 devoted ministers, niay be suitably admonished to 
 " look at home !" 
 
 Had the destructive "sleep" of their unworthy 
 predecessors been much longer protracted, a ne- 
 glected and " brutalized" population might, and 
 in all human probability v.ould, have disposed both 
 of " Church" and of " State," as their infuriated 
 and unevangelized French neighbours, did, of 
 theirs ! „ 
 
 On that fearful occasion, the "national clergy 
 of France ; who had also failed to evangelize their 
 nation ; became, through their most pitiable suf- 
 ferings, a truly affecting monument of clerical 
 admonition to the whole universe 1 
 
 And, when men of honester minds shall have 
 gained the ascendant, the foregoing and spontaneous 
 testimony of England's Poet Laureate, may possibly 
 originate the topic of a theme, in the very college 
 
 •' Christian charity." Even there, the question 
 may yet be proposed :— What does the English Na- 
 tion, and its Established Church, owe to the memory 
 of the man, who, in her greatest crisis of national 
 peril, aroused her moral watchmen, " blew his trum- 
 pet, and awakenhd those who slept?" 
 
 The British Wes'eyan Church is perfectly inde- 
 pendent, and has ever been so, of all other ecclesias- 
 tical communities. But she has invariably main- 
 tained a cathnlicity of sentiment with respect to 
 every other orthodox church, both British and 
 Foreign. Yet, religious bodies have their own 
 relative affinities and tendencies, as it regards each 
 other. And, although some of our dissenting 
 brethren have difficulty in conceding so much 
 " liberty" to us, still, as a Wesleyan, it has ever 
 agreed, both with my feeling and my judgment, to 
 endeavour to preserve towards the Church of Eng- 
 land, that relation of kindred amity, which our 
 fathers were enjoined to cultivate, by the venerable 
 Wesley himself! 
 
 Not a few, indeed, in that church, whether from 
 intolerance of temper, or from misapprehension of 
 our real objects, have regarded us either with freez- 
 ing suspicion, or with burning animosity. The 
 Parent Wesleyan Body in Great Britain, however, 
 has never shewn a sympathy with any movement 
 against the Church of England ! We may appeal 
 to all the public acts of our Conference, and to 
 the invariable tone of our official organs, both at 
 home and abroa.l, {by which alone we ougnt to be 
 judged,) that even the reverse has been the case. 
 Especially in any of her public difficulties, to adopt 
 the words of Dr. Adam Clarke, we have never 
 been found to be either her secret enemies, or her 
 silent friends 1 For example, some years since, one 
 of our junior ministers in England, unhappily con- 
 nected himself with a politico-religious agitation 
 against that church. He was admonished and en- 
 treated to abandon his un- Wesleyan position. And, 
 on his refusal so to do, he was (and I believe by a 
 unanim >us vote of the ^ onference,) solenri.ily ex- 
 cluded from any farther share in our ministry. 
 This, too, notwithstanding his resp'-cted father, then 
 living, had been one of the most beloved Presidents 
 of our Conference 1 And the same would be the 
 result of a similar proceeding on the part of any 
 individual among us, how exalted soever his -standing 
 might be. 
 
 It cannot, and indeed it ought not, to be concealed 
 that, in our Wesleyan community, ihere is a growing 
 dislike of the manner in which the Church of 
 England of late years, and in various places, has 
 become, and is still becoming, more and more 
 unprotestantized ! This is seen in the altered 
 style of some of the churches and ceremonials, in 
 "Tractarian" doctrine, and in a temper of growing 
 intolerance regarding other religious bodies. In- 
 structed both by past history, and by their current 
 results, as to the melancholy tendings of such eccle- 
 siastical transformation, we, as a people, look on 
 with truest and not unfriendly solicitude; most 
 sensitively on the alert to interpose our own best 
 offices. . 
 
 The policy of some in this Province, is to afl'ect 
 to deny this growing ecclesiastical deterioration.

 Sinelqua non. Doddridge. Vertf reve rie. Euiter n Canada. Dr. Coke. Dignified Epitmpalian t. 
 
 have made no attack upon their National Establiiili- 
 ment ; for which, indeed, as before professed, I have 
 ever entertained the most regardful respect. Both 
 my age and station, unite to protect me from sus- 
 picion of sinister motive, in avowing this attach- 
 ment. The circumstances of our still more beloved 
 Wesleyan Church are so completely solvent, as that, 
 we, as a religious community, can well afford to pay 
 on occasional tribute of friendly regard to the ancient 
 and honored Communion, of our own justly vene- 
 rated Founder. 
 
 Men of respectable minds will not treat with scorn 
 such an avowal, on my part ; whetlier they may be 
 found among Episcopalians or non-cotiformists. 
 Were it otherwise, even, I trust my principles are 
 BuflBciently Scriptural and valued, to reconcile me 
 to any disadvantage to which a suitable avowal of 
 them might tend to subject me. With Christianly 
 feeling towards those who. on that point may differ 
 from myself, I nevertheless shall be permitted the 
 privilege of saying, that I never have been n dis- 
 senter, in the sense in which those Christian people 
 are, who deem an Established Church, as such, to 
 be essentially and necessarily sinful and offensive to 
 God. This, if I have not misunderstood those es- 
 tim.ible brethren, is the position which is taken by 
 devout and conscientious dissenters, properly so 
 
 In this Province, indeed, under all the circum- 
 stances of the question, I presume to think, with 
 the official advisers of our Most Gracious Qjteen, 
 that the establishment of any "dominant" and 
 exclusively-favoured church, wouid be both unjust 
 and impolitic. And my bumble opinion is, that, 
 with all religious l;idies, our Colonial Government 
 should make it a sine qua non of official patronage 
 or encouragement, that, at least, they shall exeri-se 
 a bearins; of civility and good-will towards their 
 fellow-citizens of other loyal churches. It will be 
 admitted that those parties can have but a small 
 claim on the public funds, who shew but little res- 
 pect for the public feeling. On the subject of loy- 
 ally, I admire the sentiments of a lovely and learned 
 dissenterofthelastcentury.Dr.DoDDniDGE ; whose 
 words in relation to the British Crown, are:—" It 
 is impossible, UNDER SUCH A Government, to be 
 good Christians, without being good subjects, or to 
 'fear God,' if we do not ' honour the king !' 
 
 It is freely avowed, and with great respect for 
 them, that .'iome of my Wesleyan friends have an 
 impression, in relation co the Church of England, 
 which is the very revers/? of mine. In support of 
 this, they produce their own appropriate reasonings. 
 And they have ihe most undisputed right to their 
 own private views in this matter. But I feel no 
 
 But let no man expect to ttnd me a sycophant' 
 because I avow myself to be " a friend." If, In 
 order to prove himself a friend to that Church, a 
 person must behold -lo defect in her constitution, 
 which he would .vish to see amended — must close 
 his eyes to most manifest evils in lier administialion, 
 unwilling to have them remediiti- must tamely 
 submit to ungentlemanly and unprincipled aq- 
 ORESSION on the part of such of her clergy or laity 
 as are ill-bred and unsanctified—munt raise no voice 
 of remonstrance against " unbl'.siiino false- 
 hood" uttered by some termed he/ " most honest 
 advocates ;" then, I confess, I am neither such a 
 friend, nor such a fool ! If, on the other hand, — 
 to have no sympathy with her avowed enemies — to 
 be unidenti.ied witli any of their belligerent move- 
 ments against her— to rejoice sincerely when she 
 spiritually prospers — to hold out the hand of affec- 
 tionate fellowship to her ministers ami members — 
 and, on every convenient occasion, to communicate 
 with them at her altars — if this be friendship, no 
 ONE can deny m v claim to the character of " a friend 
 to the Church of England." And, whoever may 
 sneer, or affect to disdain, a, unbought friend of 
 this description, I intend to remain, so long as I 
 may occupy a place in " Christ's church, militant 
 here on earth." 
 
 In not a few of the sections of this our United 
 Province, the Wesleyan ministers have long pre- 
 ceded the Missionaries of that church. And in my 
 own Missionary District of Eastern Canada, her 
 ministers and people have had t! - gratuitous use of 
 our Wesleyan places of worship, until they were in 
 circumstances to build for themselves. This is, 
 however, a courtesy which has been seldom recipro- 
 cated by them*: (and, Mr. Editor, be assured, by 
 ourselves nefcr solicited). It is said that their 
 " canons" permit them, in that respect, to borrow, 
 but forbid them to lend : a principle, in relation to 
 which an alteration might be an improvement. 
 Among our Wesleyan families, her Bishop and 
 Clergy, in their itinerant labours, have ever found, 
 and do still receive, the most hospitable entertain- 
 ment. We ourselves do the same from those be- 
 loved Episcopalian families, from which unfriendly 
 clergymen have either not ventured to attempt, or 
 have not succeeded, in accomplishing, our exclusion. 
 And, in my whole life, of between fifty and sixty 
 years, I defv any person to prove that I 
 have ever committed, or have been a consenting 
 party to, a single act of hostility against the Church 
 of England ! 
 
 My principles, on that subject, have never under- 
 gone any change since, vpwmds of thirty years ago, 
 I had the privilege, (with five other ordained min- 
 
 XtTcfi™:i::; m;sXbe a N^e:.;;:; ';fi l^ters,) .oaccomp^n; the devoted Dr. Coke on his

 repeat it, however humble, " 1 am a friend of ihe

 contemned for this profession, will pardon my 
 egotism. My attachment to her has been evinced 
 in each of the four quarters of the glob". ; and during

 India,) and Lord BATHURST.thenCoionial Secretary

 do who, in this Province, may now desire to degrade

 ■ I have shewn, that when Mr. Kent stated that 
 Canada was iuJibtedfor whatcvr it possessed of 
 Christian knowledge to the Gospel Propagation So- 
 ciety, he stated a gross untruth. I have shewn, that 
 he could not but know it to be untrue ; and there- 
 fore that he had forfeited, (as, at first, I submitted 
 that he hed,) all claim to the high compliment with 
 which the publication of his untruth was associated 
 in your columns ; that " the Church of England in 
 Canada never had a more honest advocate than the 
 late Editor of The Church." The groi-id of this 
 forfeiture is, (as was stated in my first letter,) that 
 "there can be no honestv, sepahate from 
 
 VEHACITV !" 
 
 My original position, then, is most clearly un- 
 IMPUCNED. And I appeal to upright men, against 
 the Jesuitism and injustice, by wliich yourself and 
 your clerical correspondent have endeavored, in this 
 matter, to make (to use his own phrases) " Poor 
 Mr. Harvard," appear both " infamous'' and con- 
 temptible. But, though I have used some terms of 
 just severity, I cordially disclaim the least feeling 
 of personal resentment. 
 
 Certain unclassical allusions and phrases, in thf 
 "eflFusions'of the Professor, I commend to "the 
 Faculty" of M'Gill College. His Doctorship in 
 Divinity was understood to be one of its first at- 
 tempts in that line of onerous effort 1 May its 
 future honors never be le.-s worthily conferred, nor 
 sustained with less of Academical Dignity, or Theolo- 
 gical Consistency, than they have been in this 
 melancholy instance 1 Amen. And may puiilic 
 BODIES, and public functionaries, find it to be less 
 and less to their interest, and still less to their 
 "taste," to give prominency to individuals who may 
 be flagrantly deficient in " that ' good-will towards 
 men,' which is ' the Second Commandment of the 
 Law,' and which the Ministers of Religion, in all 
 Christian Communities, ought more especially to 
 bear in mind 1'*— See Montreal Herald, Oct. 4,

 BECAPITULATOBV LETTER. 
 
 TO THE EDITOR OF THE MONTREAL HCRALO. 
 
 Dear Shi,— It will have been observed with 
 regret that in " the Church of England in Canada, 
 there is a considerable and an Intolerant party, 
 which has comme ed a cbusade of unholy ani- 
 mosity against all the other religious bodies in this 
 United Province. Both in the Colony, and in the 
 Parent Country, it strives to render them odious, 
 and to effect the extinction of their influence upon 
 the public mind. 
 
 The chief hope of that party, as to its pecuniary 
 means of " warring" (to use one of their own 
 phrases,) appears to be the Society in England for 
 " the Propagation of the Gospel ;" whose aid it 
 seeks, among other means, by the most contemptu- 
 ous and INTOLERANT bearing towards the other 
 Christian Churches of Canada; as the publications 
 of that Society in England but too mournfully 
 demonstrate.*

 THREE*oT "a Christian bodies had entered «>{><'"/•«.. worl' 
 of supplying with the ordinances of rel.g.on that intPTest-

 ScotlnnS. which built a convenient church of "'ood ^* "T^,

 was the Wesleyans, who have there a handsome stone 
 place o? worship,, founded by the Kev. U. L- ^/itv'hki,

 found it to be, to their souls, (to use a piitnarchal phrase,)

 valuable paper to be occupied by communication 
 which I can hardly suppose are agreeable to the 
 writer s own friends, and far less to others ; I mean

 Mr Harvard, professing as he does so much 
 regard for the Cliurch, and so much love for truth, 
 should have tried to understand the authorized lan- 
 guage of the Church which Mr. Kent used before 
 he had undertaken to animadvert so harshly as tie 
 has done ; and the fact that he did not, or it he did, 
 he failed, »hows how unfit he is for controversy, 
 either for luck ofpntience to investigate, or that he 
 is too hasty to consider what he is about. And 
 
 while I DOUBT NOT HIS GOOD INTENTIONS, es- „„„^ ,„^ „.,. „„«..

 written. But I have some apology to make for him. 
 He was needlessly pi ovoked. ••„„<: ,v,p 
 
 This leads me to give my unasked opinion ot the 
 productions of Dr. Falloon. He might have seen 
 at once that Mr. Harvard had evidently misun- 
 derstood the language of Mr. Kent ; and that it 
 the sense he put on it was not true, that he desired 
 
 to be put right. According to his y'^w, the 
 
 STATEMENT WAS FALSE ! Why then did Hot Dr. 
 
 Fi-llooii, since he wrote at all, give him an expla- 
 nation ' He certainly was entitled to this courtesy. 
 
 The Doctor, however, gave him a severe reprimand 
 
 for presuming to call anything in question that came 
 
 f.om either Mr. Kent or himself This treatment 
 
 had the effect which any one •n;^'if_'''\^,*'J'^,;;fj',^"^'a

 No. 19. From the Courier. 
 For some months past there have appeared in the 
 Herald several communications from the pen of the 
 Uev Mr. Harvard, addressed to the Editor of thia 
 
 ^""irlur object has been to avoid a prolonged 
 com o^ersy ^vith ihis -ordy gentleman, ..^-^^^

 mun cation, addressed to the Editor of the Herald,

 eve t^at ourreadersarenotfondofsuchdiscussions, 
 
 welhall be exceedingly brief in what we Inive to say.

 It t« tru<! that the writer afterwards say^ that it 
 wns taken from the Colourg Star ; then, we ask. 
 why were not the words •' Cohourg Star" attached 
 to It, instead of the word " Courier ?" The object 
 18 evident—it would not have suited Mr. Harvard's 
 purpose, 
 
 N«w, in case our readers thonid have forgotten 
 the circumttance, we will tell them that the pora- 
 g^ph about Mr Kent, which haa ^^ given so much 
 offence to Mr. Harvard, was taken out of the Co. 
 bourg Star, and was inserted in our journal without 
 note or comment, just as we insert hundreds of 
 paragraphs from other papers, without considering 
 ourselves in any way responsible for the particular ' 
 views or oplnhnis which such articles may convey 
 Mr. Harvard, however, chose to think .itherwise. 
 and addressed us a letter, commenting in very 
 strong and unmeasured t^rms upon the words Im- 
 puted to Mr. Kent. This letter, which was a 
 direct attack upon Mr. Kent's "honesty and vera- 
 city, we. very improperly, gave insertion to in our 
 journal—and we likewise gave it without note or 
 comment. We ought to have rejected the letter, and 
 to have referred the writer of it to the Editor of the 
 
 «».r?/f'";,"'''2-''"'* ^-pproved of the expressions 
 attributed to Mr. Kent. 
 
 Dr Falionn. who was absent from town when 
 Mr. Harvard s first letter appeared in the Courier 
 chose to reply to this letter, and we t(ave insertiorl 
 to his communication without hesitation, as we had 
 done to that of Mr. Harvard. To this Mr. Harvard 
 wrote a rejoinder, which we also gave a place to in 
 our columns; determining at the same time Tyet 
 without so detliring.] that we would insert no fur-' 
 ther letters on the subject from either party. 
 
 Ihis. however, did not satisfy Ur.li.,' his object 
 teemed to he to write himself into notice, and he had 
 the weakness to suppose that a paper which was to 
 a certain extent iDEtiTiFiEV with the Chubch 
 OF England, and a staunch advocate of Church 
 principles, would lend itself to attacks upon indivi- 
 dual ministers and members of that Church, if not 
 upon the Church itself. ' 
 
 Finding that we would not encourage this kind 
 of discussion, Mr. H. went to the Herald, and there 
 succeeded in his object, much to his own satisfaction 
 ir not to the satisfaction of the readers generally of 
 that paper. ' 
 
 We have no fault to find with our contemporary 
 for taking up so much of his space with Mr Har- 
 vards effusions. If his readers are satisfied, we have 
 no right to complain -all we have to say is that 
 the readers of the " Courier" would not have thanked 
 us, had we adopted the same course. And even now 
 we doubt whether they woul.l not have been better 
 pleased, had we allowed Mr. Harvard's communica- 
 tions to pass entirely unnoticed.

 any disclaimer ; and that, too, whether they may 
 be original or selected. 
 
 Secondly ; That a respectable public journal, 
 will ever be ready to correct any inaccuracy attaching 
 to Its avowed statements of facts, and to apologize 
 for any calumnious personalities, to which it may 
 inadvertently have given circulation. 
 
 Thirdly ; That " a paper," professing to be " 'o a 
 certain extent identified with the Church of England " 
 ought to be conducted, at least, with as much regard 
 to truth and courtesy, as may be expected to char- 
 acterize a purely secular journal. 
 
 Fourthly; That those '' papers" have neither 
 attempted to prove the truth of their original offen- 
 Hive statement, nor offered any apology for its i.ub- 
 lication by them. 
 
 Fifthly ; That they have not evinced the res- 
 pectahility to express any regret for. or disavowal 
 ot, what the courteous Editor of the Herald so 
 co.-rectly pronounces to be, " Me unprovoked public 
 attacks, which appeared in their columns j" and 
 which alone occasioned this Correspondence. 
 
 Sixthly; That they have sustained their Theo- 
 logiral Professor in his degrading classification of 
 all the other churches of the Province, but their 
 own, on the same level with that of" Momtonism I" 
 Seventhly ; That though these journalists have 
 been bold enough, (and " honest" enough withal ) 
 to STATE that they are " to a certain extent identified 
 with the Church of England ;" yet. as it will be seen 
 that the Church of England publicly befuses to 
 be — " identified with" them ! 
 
 The veneralde Episcopal head of that Church in 
 Eastern Canada, has most expli(!itly fnrbidden their 
 heing thus " identified," and desires " not to be re- 
 garded as having any tort of connection what- 
 EVEii, ' with these " staunch advocates of Chubch 
 
 PBINCIPLES !" 
 
 Lastly : That, at this conjuncture, such official 
 disownment of these parties, may be regarded as at 
 least presumptive evidence, that, in this matter, the 
 Lord Bishop does not consider, that eitlier they or 
 their M'Gill Theological Professor, have reflected 
 any real credit, either upon his Lordship's venerable 
 Church, or upon their own disreputable and virulent
