“ To Rev. Mr. lletvley, Pastor ofthe Congrega-l

R1-:vr.r.z:xn Sztt,—I think it must be obvi-;~.us,;
to every indit~'itlt_t.t.l who has liszcnc-;l to your lee-,
tures. for seve ftl Sabbath evenings past, that,
one particular object at which you have aimed
in these lectures, was, to impress very tlecplyé
upon the tnin-is ofyour audiettce that the hie!/5.:
otlist .-‘l1'in!s.'r_y, is an assot-iation ofdi:~:honcst, and ,
unprinciplotl men, tleserving nothing, but thei
most unmitigated censure, and the severest rt_-- 
buke. lfthere has been any point, or edge to your;

as a set, of unpri-.-tci;n/ctl z_:i.’Iaz'u.'t. And 
is, in the most wholesztle manner that _you ltavel
attempted, to tmc/n-is.'z‘ar:«.'ze a large, and useful
denomination, which the most bigoted sectari-
ans of the present time freely admit, have been
the means oftloinga vast arnot.tnl ofgood in the.

To say, that this has not been your ob-

thus it

world.
ject, and design, is to attribute to you, acareless-
mess of manner, and a want of mental discipline,
Which, to say the least, can be esteemed no com-
pliment at all. For what other purpose could
you have represented their macltinery of church
government as being so feart"ttl——-their “Book
concern, and chartered fund” as such a mighty
affair, and they, the Metliotlist, more to be dread-
ed in this‘ country, than the Roman Ctttltolics?
Forwhat other purpose, could you have labored
so long to convince your ltearers, “that all the
church property is in the hands oftlte clergy”--
and that “the~_v, (the clergy) have lllt.'lrl)£1t:tlsltt-
to the People's pockets, up to their elbows” ?-—
\Vhat motive other, than to abuse the Ministry,
aad'“make the hearts ofGod's people sad"’could
you possibly ltttve, in telling your hearers that
the laity of our church, were “Saddled-—-bridled ,
and mounted, by their ministers"? in sbort,l
what other motive could you have for weaving;
such a tissue of misrepresentation-—narrow
sectarianism, insult, and injury, as you have in
your lectures.

that caudor—sincerity, and Christian courtesy,
which we had a. right to expect, and which iti
was most evidently, your duty to have done, wel
should have no cause of ccmplaint—nor have
been agric-ved—1-But as it is, you have wounded
the hearts of some of our people—you have been

collection district, and until something is done_
in this way by congress, a very extensive. eve-l
sion of the revenue laws may be carried on. To
avoid this, tlte sccrctar_v’s instructions are, that
goods and rnerchandize comine from Texas, shall
uttdergo the same regulations as from any for-
eign port. The government organ introduces
this circular by the following observations:

There are two modes in which it is de-
signed to defraud the revenue: the first,
by direct importations, from foreign ports
into Texas: the second, by exportatiotts
frotn our own ports into Texas, with the
privilege of the (lrattback of tltc duty.
