the Editor of Clinton, _Yew Era.
Dzait Sxn,-I observed a communication
in your issue ef the 27th ult., commenting on
certain statements which I made regardieg
the officials of the Presbyterian churoh, Man-.
ehester. In the dust item complained of; I.
stated Mr, 1?ritchard's dation towards; part elf
Manchester congregation: Jestice stales "I
shall content myself by saying that Mr.
Pritchard is too highly esteemed by his
friends here, etc." Justice contents by mak.
ing a statement, but can he deny the 'fact
which I have etated ; he even does not at
tempt to dolt, buteremincle,-us of the -high
opiuton Mr. Pettcharcl's.frienlis have for him..
Justice has kindly verifiedemer-atateurente-in-
.the eecond question, by .statieg that the
church oflicials made the chenge, at the, Ell,g,-_
gestien of flir-firTEElifiiime not even allowing
the cougeegation an opportunity to :express
is
tanpinionm
_in the atter.. But for Justice to
state that "all the elders" were in favor of it,
is st. stronger seateinent than he can prove.
Would Justice kifidler inform us who the pre-
centor in the Peesbyterian church, lgauches.
ter, is. At thelleformatiore the Presbyteri-
ails adopted postures during worship directly
oppoeite to those observed by the ehnrcla of
Rome; Justice informa us the change was
made in Maneheeter • to suit the wishes of a
single party. ' Can -he deny it is not an inno-
vation in posture, but more 'so in the .rights
o1 the:congjegation, Posture is not an essen-
tial in the worship of God. I, firmly believe
, that "Gaits a spirit, and they that worship
Him. must worehip hine in spirit and truth."
Justice, in conclusion, makes an attack- on
• the only individual who has failed to comply
evith the imperial mandate. The party's
motives are qtrestioned, Justice- advises him
to do as others do; a step that always re-
quires careful Consideration._ -.Juotice, I made
no allnsion to "the arbitrary officia.1," your
prudence has been overstepped • by rather
hasty impulses, and high sounding praises

would. like toenter emore felly upon some
other fetteures of the.above report. -The part
to which 1 refer is thefollOwing • A memo.
nil from Mr. John Jackson was presented,
asking information respecting an alleged union
of the sessions of Manchester and Smith's
Hill by' act,of Presbytery 'seme years ago. A
careful examination of the records disclosed
the fact that though such a union had been
suggested it hrid never been consummated.
' The Presbytery, however, was unanimous in
• the opinion- that Mr. ,Pritchard, the minis-
tec of the two ,cougregatione, had all along'
acted in good faith; and under the convietion
that the two sessions had actually been united'.
It was also -agreed to confirmthe procedings
of these rtessions while acting. under the im-
.nressiorith at -the :anion -had -taken -place."' As
no entry vvkatever could be found in the
nainutes of Presbytery -in reference to the mat-
ter, and' as no person in the Presbytery ex-
cepting Mr. Pritchard appearedo have aflY
ecollection of such a union ever'hav-idg been
proposedeit passes my comprehension to see
how an examination difelesed he fact, ete.
Further, it is said that it was the unanimous.
opinion -of the.Presbytery-thet sMr. Pritchard
acted in good faith' in the matter. This, ,no
doubt, ie. very. gratifying to him, but those
w_ho believe so, must haye a very -poor Opinion
of Mr. Pritchard's !Knowledge of the constitu-
tion of his own church, if he could think the
Presbytery had power to unite two sessions
into one, merely because he asked it to-do.so,
and withontany_r_equest.w.natev.eriromeither,
of the sessiona interested. But, I think the
strangest •. sta,tement of all is " That the
Presbytery agreed to confirm the action of
said seesions while acting under the belief
that they were united." The facts are Amply,
as follows : The session of Manchester hav-
ing been asked by their rniiaister ed 'order an
election of four new elders,. declined to , de so
on the ground, chiefly; that there ,NiaS no ne-
cessity for such an addition to its number.

from Manchester then ordered or authorized,
