For the western recorder
Mr. Editor: sir. it has come to pass that every
friend of reform on this vast continent: should
step fourth and shew himself the unflinching,
unwavering, untiring advocate of mutual
rights, I detest a creature that like the bat in
the fable sometimes declares himself a bird
and sometimes a beast, according to the
strength of parties and the appearances of
Victory. let every firm friend of the
rights of men stand forth in the ranks
and shoulder to shoulder meet the
ecclesiastical aristocracy, that swarm over
our land like pharaoh's locusts; and in
sound and solid argument on church
policy we shall conquer, z for we can do more
than . Br. Kinney has written one chase
tens We claim the promise of god's word:
one shall chase a thousand and two put
ten thousand to flight. what in the nam
of comm sense do you think, sir, has
come to pass in this country? why the
clergy of the Methodist Episcopal church
and their minions are ended roring, by
every possible means, to persuaid the communi-
-ty that there is little or no difference betweene
the forms of the government of the Methodist
Episcopal church and the Methodist proddistant
church and thus are really deceiving hundreds
of abler pens than mine have promised to
the columns of the recorder to investigate
this matter, but Mr. Editor whilst we wait
for a feast, permit us to enjoy a common
meal. we think a baser false hood was
never reiterated than that now in
circulation, from maine to Louisiana and
from the bay of fundi to the gulf of mex
-ico, namely, that the two eccleciastical
goveerments above referred to are similer
or nearly alike. so then is democracy and
aristocracy -- so is a repuptican government
and that of an absolute monarchy reconcile
these conflicting forms of governments
