ttrn <>f VOur p;ipcr to a ffW
t)b4<rvat'Ona on the aul ject which
has kept ihe town in a ferment for
some weeks past. The Editor of

that the Tru»tec» ha- e no rij?ht ti
dispose of the funds of the church?
the “ f itiz. n" a>atreni( u -*y main
tamsihev have. I mean »o
espouse n i h r side of this ques
tion. I.et those who hve any
doubt read the law on the nrhject
and i.idge for thejnselves. My on
ly object is to inform our brethren l
in the country, of the true origin
and real nature of ihe dispute, a
piece ofinformation which l hum
bly conceive is not very fulivton
veyed in any thiug which has huh.
erto appeared, i must begin then
by informing them that this con
troversy like most other ol a pub
lic nature, originated, not in any
: disagreement about measmes or
, lliings, or principles ; but about
men. Formerly when the Trus
tees assumed the controul of the
funds of the church the citizens
did not dispute their authority to
do so, and when the cinz.ns chose
to pay tne pew rents to the officia
ting minister the trustee* express
ed no dissatisfaction at it. The
true cause of the difficulty then is
this t A number of families of the 1
first figure and respectability in
to.vr., "became devotedly attached |
to Mr. Thompson, wnu was till |
lately Rector of the Academy and
Pastor of the cnurch. A number
ot the 1 rustees, and a majority it
accnis, were wuh equal violence
pposed to him. How for that
gentle rnan met i ted such at inch m< nt
or such enmity I cannot judge, nr.
v«-r l aving had the honor of an
acquaintance with him/ hut so it
was, the families who
are generally the pew-rentets, were
i detttmined that Mr. Thompson
should be supported u t all tuques,
vnd the Trustees were determined
he should not. After Mr. Thomp
son left the Academy he opened a
private .Seminary of his own, and
lor this he and his friends’have
i b'eu accused of endeavoring to
| injure the Academy On this let
1 every man judge for himself, how
i far any one has a right, i D this
| country, to institute a school and
l instruct such as will submit them
| selves to Ins direction ; and also
how far it is rignt to accuse any
man of a .sinister design, t i|| that
design is evinced by what a law
yer would call an overt act.
The citizen* claimed thedispo.
sal of the umuey arising from the
rents oi the pews lor no other rea
son than that they might bestow
them upon M-. Thompson, and
the i rusiecs have as-turned them
into their own hands for no other
reason than that h*- might not get
them. One side . %we will use
our influence to support this man,
the other says we will use the au.
thorny vested in us by law to de
press hun.
i hope no person in town or
country, wii< suppose for a moment
that the tiuslees, or that one Jn
twenty ol ific citizens or one iu
five „f the ptw renters, care who
preaches in >t. Pauls church. To
be sure many of tne good people
; oi ‘ hli » ‘own very punctually attend
ciiutch, and no doubt, are actua
ted by goud motives ; but he who
supposes this uirficulty between the I
It unites and - the citizeos to have '

gion, or to the sound construction
of the law, makes a false estimate
of tiling,. Passion and prejudice
