We think that Mr. Chever would be mach more in the way of obeying the netitutions and serviog the will of his Lord and Master, by mimistering to the spiritual necersities of the thousands at home who are “perishing for lack of kaowledge,” than by making himself so busy about religio-political movements loreiga lands.

Unlike the tyranniony dynasties of the ancient world, whieh have incor. porated with them systems of eeclemastical despo- tiem, the government and institutions of the | sited States have been founded on the broadest princi, ples of civil and religious liberty. To all citizens has been guaranteed the utmost liberty of con- acience—every man sitting under hie vine end fig tree, with nene to make him afraid—no lordly hierarchy to support—no haughty priesthood en- dowed by the State, no favored system of religious belief. Under this wise and righteous system, the various Christian sects in this country have, in the main, exhibited an example of charity and torbear- ance more closely approaching the apostolic model than can be found in any other land in Christen- dom. The religious liberty of this country is, in- deed, one of the greatest blessings which its Consti- iution has secured to us, and every true patriot is therefore bound to set his face against the untrodue- tion from any quarter of any element which can by possibility lead to the infraction of the safeguard of National peace and prosperity. Hence it is that we denounce, in terms of most unqualified disapproba- tion, the movements of such men as Cheever— fiery and declamatory bigots, who, like the false prophets, spoken of by Paul, go about leading captive silly women and weak men—inflaming sectarian animosities, and scattering every ember of peace and charity from the altar of God. The sound sense and intelligence of this country, however, will always furnish the antidote to the poison, which these violent sectaries would infuse into the hearts of the churches. This we have seen most abundantly demonstrated in the utter extinction of the “ native” party—a party origi- NEW YORK HERALD.

This subject is one of ebvious importance and interest, and we shall soon return to it. Errecorat Convention. stated annual meering of the Convention of the Protestant Epis- copa! Church, in the State ‘of Pennsylvania, wil! be held in St. Aadrew’s Church, Philadelphia, on Tuesday, the 20h of May next; each Church of ‘hat denomination im the Siate may send a lay deputy or deputies, not exceeding three in number. ‘The most important business of the Convention, will be the election of a Bishop for the Diocese, in the room of Bishop Ooderdonk. We have some very curions and interesting information to com- munieate relative to the character, claims, and chances of the prominent candidates. Our old inead and tellow-laborer in Christianity, Dr. Tyog, is one of the principal aspirants. Is Iv S01—We observe the name of his Honor, Mayor Harper, at the head of a list of “Trustees” of an establishment entitled a “ Military Iostitute,” or something like that, of which it appears the most important department is to be a public bar- room, for the sale of gin-sliogs and brandy-emash- ers. This does not seem at all consistent with the immortal temperance project of the tin-pans around the Park Fount: he Fourth of July. Fins at tux Bowgry Tasarre.—Men have been engaged all day cleaning ont the ruins of the Bowery Theatre. There was a rumor afloat that several persons, who had been in the dressing room ‘at the time the building took fire, and not having ume to escape, hed fallen victims to the flames ; but we are happy to learn it is without the elight- est foundation. There isa report that Canal street is to be continued to the Bowery, now that this edifice is destroyed, Mesers. Whiting and Hamb- {in having purchased a site nearly opposite the Hos- pital, in Broadway, for the purpose of erecting a theatre on it. es Tuxateicats—Mr. Anpgnton.—There was a nating in a quiet, commendable, popular very good house at the Park last night, to see & Movement, in opposition to the mad and repetition of the performances for the benefit of intolerant policy attempted by a preiate Mr. Anderson on the previous night. Mr. Ander- san’s last speech, by the bye, was not by any means 80 good as some of those which he deliver- ed on former occasions. It was too stilted—too artificial—too much in the King Cambyees’ vein. His former speeches were tolerably good ; they had an air of sincerity, candor and modesty which procured for them a favorable reception. He now appears to be getting into the inflated—stereotyped vein—ala Forrest or Macready. Again, we say very affectionately to Mr. Andet- son, take care. The popular breath that makes favorites, can also annihilate them. It is said thet Mr. Andereon in private, speaks quite slightingly of the prees of this country. Heaven knows he is the last man in the world that ought to breathe a dis- respectful aspiration with regard to the press. Has he really forgotten the history of his career at the Park? Important To Hayti.—The Rufus.Soule arrived at New Orleans on the 17th inst. with Kingston, Ja., papers of the Slst ult. The news is interest- ing. Sugar had advanced 23. of the proceedi the sugar duty bill. Herard, the ex-President of Hayti, left Jamuica upon his expedition to rey the Chief Magistracy ef the republic on the of March. He purchased the Co- jombian schooner La Granada for that object, and set sail with the Commissioners who had cemeto Jamaica Ning his return toHayti. His destination is Port-su- ince. We shall now expect te hear of anether revolution when he arrives. of the Catholic church—Bishop Hughes—but which in its very inception, plunged into the same criminal and evil conduct, which it was in- tended to chastise and prevent. Where now, is Bishop Hughes and his Carroll Hall movement? He is glad to hide his diminished head, and his in- tolerant movement has been utterly withered. So with the “natives.” They are gone for ever— Mayor Harper and ali—clean annihilated by the indignant rebuke of sound and enlightened public opinion. We are willing to admit that some of the Chee- vers of the present day mean weli—that all are not actuated by priestly vanity—a desire for public dis- play—an ambition of being distinguished in the fields of polemical controversy. Some of them, no doubt, entertain asincere horror of popery—it is to them a horrible nightmare—ever present to their excited imagination, asa terrible agency of blood and torture. But Catholicity is not what it was four or five hundred years ago. The Pope is as harmless as the Moderator of the General Assem- bly of the Presbyterian church, and the thunders of the Vatican are es innocuous as the blasts of the Presbyterian trumpet from the pulpit of Doctor Cheever. The venerable buttresses of Kome have long since begun to yield to the advancing tide of the intelligence of the age. In France, in the quarrels between the University and the church— in Germavy—in Switzerland—in Italy itself— throughout the whole Continent, we see significant tokens of change and innovation. Throughou, all the churches, indeed, a spirit of reform is ay work. Bigotry, intolerance, ignorance and error, still maintain, in many quarters, a foothold. Fanati- cism is active.

Dr. Skinner’s church. } The Rev Mr. Cusnven said—In bring- ing up the ey! of the Waldenses to the period indicated in the last lecture, we find that they bave passed roam & series of most terrific persecn- ions, but stil! they are preserved faithiul to their creed, and saved jrom extermination. ques. tion may well be asked, what is the seeret and purpose of such undeviating persecution? Thiry- seven distinct onsets of persecution, without toki into consideration the ceaseless and contia iteady oppression that was undeviatingly kept up. For eight hundred years the Church of Rome se- verely harassed aud cruelly perseeuied the only Protestant Church immediately under her power, not only by such means as could be used by the spiritual church, but also by the aid of such tem- poral power as she could control. During the same time other creeds have followed her example, but convinced of their errors, have ceased to pursue them. To the Roman Catholic Church alone be- tongs the proud pre-eminence of keeping the theory and practice of religious persecution in fall pl despite the remonstrance of the whole world, | moreover, some of her own most eminent write After such a tength of time, during which she has persisted in such a course, it is utterly impossible tor us to say that such a eharacter will not be con- tinued. As well might we argue that the bite of she deadly cobra or venomous rattlesnake not contiuue a8 poisonous as ever. The e is sufficient. No person would willingly entrust his ssfety to the mercies of fatal reptile; nei- ther can any oe his religious state in the power of the Koman Catholic Church, It is a mavens of intolerance and persecution anparslelled im the world; it a religion which considers these means as legitimate for the purpose of conversion—it isa religion which,as soon ag itbecame sufficiently powerful by aid of the temporal powers it lighted the faggot, prepared the rack, and made ready all the horrors of the inqui- sition to carry out its cruel and intolerant doctrines; it is. religion that wherever it is sufficiently pow- erful, places heretics under different aad distinct laws exprecsly for the purpose of Persecution, and this it would do in this country had it the power. Witness,the'terms of the oath taken by the Bishope, in which they swear to the utmost in their power to persecute heretics. If an example of this system of persecution might be asked for by one of their paruzane, the anewer stands out-clear and immedi- ate. Look atthe Waldenies, in their case-enough can be shown to satisfy the most incredulous. Let us compare the state of the Roman Catholic reli- gion with that of ours in this country. Have wenot a right to expect a reciprocity of feelings in accor- dance with eur system of toleration and leniency towards them? Have we net a right to demand |. that such a state of things should cease to exist ? That the sufferingsof the Waldenses have not been exaggerated, it isbut necessary for us to give anex- tract from the works of a Rom man.’ The Peotestantsinbabitants of mont have always lived under the mi galling restrictions, of which some the number of their schools, the publications being denied them; protestant minister is aot allowed to visit the sick, save in the company of a ac- cular Catholic, and then his visit is limited; Re toe con- ducting the affairs of their commune they are obliged by law to associate themselves with Catholics; and to suct: lengths do 01 oftheir oP nents carry them, that they seek out the vilest and lowest of their sect,s0 much so, that it bas abe ‘ely been known that proper clothes have been fu nished for the dressing of the miserable objects that ( Jesvitical wiles have iprosurea to take part in the Prot: ant effairs. Ia reply to the oft-repeated assertion of Ro- ‘aan Catholica, that these are the works of the temporal government, and beyond their control, and that, there. fore, the biame reats not with them—the answer is, such ‘snot the case, These are brought abeut by tre crafty wiles of a Jesuitical spirit working on a government al- sendy predisposed by their established form of religion, which religion regards intcleranee as a duty, and: nt means that may be exercised to bring con’ 's within the fold of their creed, as Teaiiinoata rorihy. As late as the year 1833, sight paraces settled at Turin, ond professing the Protestant religion, were ordered to retire, under an edict of 1692, an edict which hed lorg been in abeyance, but which therancor and intolerance of reli gious persecution hunted up at this late day, to aid in their designs on our Frotestant brethren. For (he troth of the: atementa we can refer to the rctual state of things at present, as well as to works which none even of their most prejudiced partizans could gainsay. Hoving thos seen for ourselves the extent and persever- ing doctrines of persecution so unwaveringly carried out by the Roman Catholic church, it becomes an important question and one which the aspect of the times fully jue- fies us in er gaining into, viz : How and why is it that the Roman Catholic religion pre-eminently over all others is always found a persecuting church? The le founda- tion of religious differences lies between theso doctrines, iz Justification by works end justification by faith—the igion of the first is that of the flesh, and of the latter, that of the smrit—the religion of the one is that of bonds ANd #LrIpes, @Na OF {he vtuer oF love, faltl aud pereuesios. They are typified in the son of the bondwoman and the son. of the freewoman—the one was symbo!ical of religion by works,and the other of that by falth, and between the two there has always been ac irreconcilable difference. one of works and forms may be upheld by rubrics, legal enactinents and enforcements, stripes gnd persecutions ; he horrors and fears of the inquisitorial power, but it xo only it in establish law, and where chit the seed a it is thus fostered there gious + mingled with meligrity and never can beceme F proportion of 16 Fa} Sr and hatred iso gro} persecution » There is it Ay a meek, enduring suffering one, springing from the r+ suasions of the heart and the pate Sr the spirit incu. cated by the doctrine of justification by faith, but solepene into the form of a remorzeless and tyrannical despotism: ‘uch as is the Roman Catholic Church, which starts with the doctrine offbeing the onlyand infallible church beyond whose pale salvetion is denied to all, and as such assumes the legitimacy of compelling all, by any means, to enter and be baptized. To those who clamor for a unity of faith we answer, that had the reformers staid in the Ro- man Catholic Church,there eould bave been no religious liberty—the unity demanded by Christ is that of the spirit and not thet cf form—where liberty is crushed, there is the feed of persecution sown—in such a church, if it is acknowledged that all without its pale will perish, parse- cution becomes a seilgiras duty; but if it is beyond the unity of form and man is to be saved by the romptings ofthe heart and faith, without persecution becomes murder, and here rests the odium onthe Roman Catholic religion. It is mot so much the aim Ity of man to man that hes prepared the horrors of got, the rack and the various tortures of the inquisi- ien, as the delusion that out ef the pale of the Romun holic religion there iz vation Ifthe doctrines of tren substantiation were tiue;if the idea thet in pe pastas Gor the wafer, the body and blood of the veritable Christ Jesus are absolutely and truly partaken of in substance, and sot in spirit only, as the priests make their unhappy flocks believe—then are they right in following out a system of persecution. To kill, burn and destroy be. somes a solemn duty, in order to compel all, for the soke of their eternal welfere, to enter in and partake of it.
