pretended co b'q let loose upon the public, bailed fome of them by the very Bow-street runners who apprehended them, as if the objeft was to turn the Jaw into ridicule and contempt. (To be continued) SAVANNAH, September 4, Or fanday lafr, Mr. Holcombe, the Bsptifl: niir-iilct* at this pket*,made home remarks fully, calculated to inprefs a belief that the acldrefs of this paper had made an attack on the piincipks of re ligion. A t the r: quest k fome friends, w 'e were induced to forbear a reply until an inter, lew wi.hhim had palled": W'lnd-h was attended to on monday lafl. f To the of Mr. Jlo'combe, w e cheer! ally do juidice, me! we had the futisfuciiou not only of convincing him he had mi firkin our iciems, but of lie ari rg hi m 1! e c 1:: re jnin• el f fu• iy id j our opinion ar> he tlicn unckTflood it. We w ere kti prized to find Rich a conftruciion of our language, but left others might equally miilmderftand us, j %ve think it proper conciiely to no ice j ?g:fm the Ribject of that part of our ; address which has excited comments of i the above nature. Vv e premile, that no attack is meant on true rdiglzn, or that lx ft fentimeut of the foul which unites man, by e ra- : tirade, to his maker, and by love, to his it denv creatures; such religion is not, cannot ever be, an enemy to freedom and knowledge, it undoubtedly exists in the breaks of tboufands of all per fuafions....Chriftia’nirv is equal! v free from our remarks ; id by that is impli ed the doctrines taught in the people : hat if chriftianity means a modern uni on < f church and Rate, we freely de clare we rank it among the curies of man. None will maintain that the wor fnip of Oiiris and Ills in Egypt, of Oromanes and Arimarfius in the cad: ; of Jupiter and his iioil of quarrclibme companions in Greece and home; was cither pure or orthodox : yet they had their omens, their oracles and their mi rack's ! will any pc non account for the lad but ry natural causes ot which the people were ignorant, and the ef fects ot which lor that rcafon acquired this tide ? \v as not Lite veil or myjfte ry which surrounded Egyptian learn ing so thick as eiTechi.dly to hide it from all but the initiated ? Was not Socra tes executed for teaching the people reUhn, and was not Alexander offend ed wit h A rift ode for putting of! the mysteries of his philoiophy ; because if fothers were instructed his own iapcii ority would be loft ? Yet why fliould we go back to the regions cf antiquity end paganifinf Let us cast our eyes across the Adamic to the Romifli church, and take a mo mentary view cf a religion claiming the tide of chriftian. Do we there find the clergy aiding the pregrefs of know ledge or promoting the prevalence of freedom? While they they abound v id'i my ft cries and miracles, is not even the bible forbidden to jpe common people ? Who will contc^ uheir mira cles entitle them to ar *her eoitliet tlian that of jugglers - .eats ? “ Rentier ’uvas not St. Tom, the ajoille’s thumb : 44 Our mum, — “ It play’d as well of miracles the trick M Although * p;nlcc! piece o i liick.” Pindar. In England we find a bench of bi fliops holding ieats in the legislature. Let the records of parliament be look ed into—we trust their negative will be found on few or no quell ions which tended to aid the progreis of power, hut decidedly oppoled to every mea sure which would increase the liberty of the common people. If the clergy cf that country have aided knowledge in any degree, they have allowed ac cess to that only which helped down the dodftrine cf the divine right of ru lers, whild they have farxftioned the moll cruel me a fur es to repress that which taught liian his real dignity and pointed the way to freedom ck liap pi . J3cfs f Rut we need not cross the Atlantic, jwe need not travel to Canada ncr the jfouth for evidence of the correclnefs of our opinion, our knowledge, that ever chriftianity, the purest fyfeem of ethics ever taught, has been made subser vient to the purpoies of ambition. Turn but to the notiiern Rates ; not long has the time been past when the anil oi power was exercised in scourging, nay in immolating those unf ortunate viclims ,*0 dared to excrciie their realon, and dihkr from the eftiibiifhed creed of mm.Ci and slate. 1 lie ipirit ot peife cation lias lubfided but is not cxtincl: and the friend of political and religi has yct enisle to deplore tlie union or evil and ecclesiastical in t c 2 c k s • hi ( ’ ur aci dr els, n r in 1 ic prefciit re marks, we Lave made use of the word religion as generally underlie) rj by us m L :iu f” pas nature —external u> tti oi beiiei and vvorihip. A\ e re peat that no reference to real faith was intended. let we are not anxious to Lc tuiuei ir. )od in this jenfe ; we feel a confidence tiiat in either view we are equahy correct. Where this de Ip otic ur inker Ly reared his head can the ien -•—py ? i nnu utterance: Is religion Lee ? is not iter neck bowed to the support or her mortal enemies r t.tin met e be criminality or enmity in pleading her cause ? From the conversation of Mr. Hoi o2 a be, v e have not tuc leait doubt remaining on our minds that he honefl <y mui 00k us ; and that he hippo fed himlcil fulfilling his duty in the course ne purfaea : but with all due fubftiiiTton v. e tsxe the liberty of 1 he praciice or profaning the solemn wor .n*p of the Almighty by pulpitizing politics Vv e wi trie flea fufhciently in the latitude of 42 degrees, and as it uni formly finks the preacher to an objedl* of contempt, we hope never co wit nek it in Georgia. We are firm ad vocates for the claim of the clergy to every right of the the citizen; but if one of that number thinks proper, in luture, to drag the columns of a newspaper into the pulpit, he must not be offended it we chance to enve the pu;p;t a place in tne columns of a news paper. As editors, we conceive it our duty lo tiili uis those political fuhjecls which may be important.* and to leave rdi gmn to its own province. Confiflent \iin tnis wc had formed a resolution Uv)t to intermeddle in concerns which we deemed io foreign to our duty as me fubjod of theology.
