Pecatis venian poscentcm rcddere rursus-Roraee
A letter nimical to the Bishop of New York has
Just made It's appearance In low-church religious
newspaper and is supposed, by some, to be pretty
strong shot at him.


1t is an answer to circular addressed several
months ago by number of the city clergy to their
brethren OF the diocese, on church matters, which
was entirely OF private character, requiring, by no
means public reply, nor, indeed, any, unless the
Individual TO whom 1t sent was disposed to
give it to the writers themselves. His answering,
then, through the columns of a public print Won will
allow subjects the author of the letter referred to- TO
the charge OF d breach OF confidence.


OF the clergy to whom the circular was sent, this
one only has happily acted in SO unchurchman-like
manner. 1t naturally becomes a question. there
fore, why he should have proved an exceptionl
The author of the letter is the same individual
who made long-wnded speech at our late Conven-

better give us the text and their people the sermon
when they get home" Having foryears been known
to. entertain hostility towards his diocesan,
sincerity doubted ,and he felt terribly chagrined
then, because Bishop O. did not make him chair
man OF certain committee, to which he looked
forward, he ancles the Bishop does not desire his
friendship, and resolves TO treat him enemy.


Task, if il. be true, that the said Rector and
author OF the letter in question, had for years spoken
against Bishop o., and yet,when sick and needy, he
went TO his diocesan, IN the most abject condition,
and said he was seeking admission into the City
Hospital to undergo surgical operation, and keep
from starving, and the Bishop replied no, i must
not so be; get into respectable private lodgings,
make yourself comfortable in every respect, will
see you have the best medical assistance, and be re-
sponsbe for your obligations, and that he faithfully
fulfilled his promise, TO no small extent out of his
own pocket lfit be SO, then, indeed, this grateful
man has abundant cause to speak i'll of, and write
against, his kind benelactor. "Jeshurun waxed
fat and kicked, and the church, if not the world at
large, will know how to appreciate his motive for
appearing IN hostile array against Bishop Onderdonk
and his friends, in the columns of newspaper.
