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

From the conversation of Mr. Hoi

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
