sentation in the general assembly, to -every
portion nf tlie people, however indifieycmly

projector it, was idle to expect, that the plan

to the payment of the first fruits! Not more
than ,£321 a year.for tlie last thirty years,—
This, therefore, must be regard- d merely as
a nominal payment; it is a pittance not worth
mentioning.
As to tho other objection, it leaves out of
sight this most material fact, that the clergy
have fur ages been receiving enormous pay
ments for most inefficient services, and often
for no services at all ; and that as tiie body of
the people who pay the tax are of a different
religion front the clergy who receive it, ibis is
a system of injustice and oppression, which
has now grown into so great a practical griev
ance that it is in imin -in danger of tumbling
down about rbo cars of (hose who support it.

fact? Why, that tiie wl-.iie cf’ the churcn rev
