Full Text

We informed our readers some days since that the Rt. Rev. the venerable Bishop Chase of Illinois, had addressed a letter to the Bishops of the P. E. Church in the United States, setting forth the complaint that the students in the General Theological Seminary, are in the habit of attending and receiving instruction from a suspended Bishop. We have the letter before us, but forbear to insert it for want of space; but we must remark that it is written in the candid and pious style for which that prelate has always been distinguished; would that we had more such men in every denomination in our land; may he long be spared to preside in the councils of the Episcopal church, and when he shall be taken home as a "shock of corn fully ripe;" may his holy mantle fall, in truth, upon his successor.
