All tend to the nourishing of a repub- lican spirit, and all verge towards that point where ecclesiastical establishments are despised, and civil establishments, by any ties whatever attached to them, despised also. The dissenters are a veering, variable race. Ow- nia transformant sese in miracula rerum ; but none of their protean shapes are other than alarming. They are now casting off their spiritual incumbrances, and becoming, more and more, a political body in the state, and such a politica...l body as the state will, by and bye, be unable to awe by any restraints, to ap- pease by any promises, or to conciliate by any con- cessions. Look, gentlemen, to our history from the reformation, and you will perceive that there is no pretext for separation from the established church in which these men will not be found to have offended. When they made our rites and ceremonies their stalking horse it was decidedly separating for mere trifles. When to these ceremonies they joined the censure of our discipline, it was still a very insufficient plea for the mischief that dissent spread around it.
