_directing_ the schools;” _therefore_ Dissenters desire to have “the _chief management_ of them!” Admirable logic! If “a supposed second Solomon” be needed in the schools of Dissent, no such prodigy is required in the Establishment. Her “mountains have laboured,” and her Solomon is born! The next specimen is of a similar character. I had said, in my Letter, that as the promoters of the public examination in St. Andrew’s Hall had, in order to effect it, “received assistance from their dissenting fellow citizens, as well as from others,” our “friendly proceedings” would be “used against ourselves,” if they “were to be rewarded by our utter exclusion from all future participation with Churchmen in the system of Infant Education.” “Brethren!” exclaims Mr. Perowne, “Brethren! here you have a truth of the utmost importance, plainly told you from the pen of a Dissenter.” And what is the truth that my dissenting pen has told? Why, that the conduct of the church, in excluding Dissenters, would be “against” those “friendly proceedings” which we had shewn towards the church. But because it would be _against our courtesy_, Mr. Perowne, in the might and majesty of his logic, jumps to the conclusion that it would be _against our nonconformity_! And then, having made this notable discovery, for which he certainly deserves a patent, he blows his “penny trumpet,” and summons the whole hierarchy to listen to his proclamation, that if the church will uniformly treat Dissenters as they have been treated in this business, the “venerable Establishment” is secure. “Brethren! here you have a truth of the utmost importance!”
