Ross. Again there was an annual meeting
of the Trusteas in the Academy at Pictou on
the 1st Jany. 1827 an account of this meeting
was drawn up by Dr. McCulloch and was
published in the, Acadian Recorder of 27th
Jany. The Spe'eches were reported to the
same paper by Mr. Blanchard on the 24th
Febry. the printed papers and the original
manuscripts are now before me. The follow-
ing Resolution as moved by the Revd> Dun-
can Ross, is in the handwriting of Dr. Mc-
Culloch,

intended to be a Sectarian Seminary, and as
contrary to the wish of its Trustees, several
establishing and maintaining an Academy in
the district of Pictou," and expressly declares
** that no Bvelaw, Rule, or Regulation, shall
be made by the said Trustees, by which any
Be.ligious d'itinctions .shall be set up." The
Presbyteriat ism was'all imposed in the Ac-
quoted by Mr. Ross, against the strongest, op-
position of tJjjUiBromoters of the Academy, and
when it was urged by'the p'-esent Master of
the Roll's as'a main cause of his opposition.

In a previous part of his letter, Mr. Ross had-
cited Haliburton, to phew that Pictou Acade-
! my was projected as early as 1304, for "me
purpose of affording to the childrtn of Di»-
8ENTER8, who wcrc excluded from the honours
of King's College, those Literary and Sci-
entific acquirements, which mighty qualify
them for the learned professions, but the
scheme was not carried out till 1816, when
Mr. Ross again tells us, "on this condition
subscriptions were raised, and a petition pre-
sented to the Legislature for a charter which
was obtained." ^ „ _
As the above statements of Mr. Ross, ap-
pear contradictory, I shall endeavour to solve
the problem, by reference to less doubtful au-
thority. On turning to the Journals of the
House of Assembly, for Friday, 31st March,
1815, it will be found that Mr. Archibald la-
trodu.Ted the First Pictou Academy Bill, wnich
was postponed till next Session. On the 17th
April, 1816, Mr. Wells again brought m the
Bill, which passed its third reading, and was
sent to the Council on the 1st May, 1816.

LETTER 3.
To THB Members of the Pbesbttbrian
Church of Nova Scotia.
In 1827, when Judge Chipman held his en-
quiry unto the affairs of the Academy, a spe-
cific question (No. 3) was put to the Trustees,
in rtfercnco to the connection of the Presby-
teriau Ohv-cti of No- 'a Scotia with the Acade-
men to the duties and calling of Antiburgher
Clergymen— that this was iu oHginal detign^
and was openly avowed by the Rev, Dr. Mc*
CuUoch, the Principafof the Academy." Iu
denial and explanation, Mr. Ross is requett-
ed to produce to the Council, the sUtcments
of Dr. McCulloch, as reported in the Nova*
scotian, and as I have given them above. . ^
After the passage of the Bill of 1832, which
was for the benefit of "persons of all denomi-
nations of Christians^ without distinction of
