It is perhaps their inferiority to their Catholic brethres in their sway over the ordinary conduct of life that makes the Scottish clergy on violently Bart their prerogative over the Sabbath. Know. ing bow little their power is on other days, they attempt to be absolute on this. They are content with an cmsire ovat a seventh part of time. But It would well become those who have yielded to the monstrous encroachment to reflect with what re- pults it has heretofore been attended. It would be profitable to those people to read the treats on the old Sabbatarian controversy; to remark how, when the puritanical observance of the seventh day be- gan, the tyrannical high churchman charged its advocates with designs to undermine Christianity, and bring the country back to Judaism; to see the Book of Sportz, in consequence, enforced on the Sal betarians; and to find Arcibishop Williams causing the Midsummer Night's Dream to be performed in his palace on Sanday evening, as a wholesome re- prof to the profanity of the new ideas. Let the one species of tyranny look the other in the face, and mark how hideous it is. --Examiner, Nov. 14.
