The Xtticle to amen'Cfie. S2d Section of the. Constitution;btri king ut the word Protestan and ;n$yi)ng Christian, being taken up- for its;' second reading, Mr.;JViLso of Perotltioiis, said, it was his-irttentiuh to niovearaniendment of the Article, by striking out the whole alter tne nrst worU ana-inserting a sub- stitute whichhe held in his hand. He entertairted, ittwas true, but little hope of changing. what seemed tube the settled purpose ol the Convention ;but standing as one of a small ar.t'proscribed number in this 'djr, he tneaht ; the sinners, he should avail himself of the present mo ment to set f&rth his views briefly in rela tion to the S2d Section. He would endea vor to be consistent with himself. And as mostrentlemen whofhad spijken upon the subject had given venttto their pious feejiugs, hy discoursingiiijee grave and learned .Bishops, and as those who acted with him upon the present occasion were not the especially favored of Heaven, he would trjrto speak after the manuetv ot luen.v - ; j ' The 32d section of the existing Consti tution, enjoins ' that no person -who shall deny the being of a God or fthe truth of the Protesiant Religion, Or the divine au thority ot the ofd or new Testament,! or who shall hold religious principles incom patible with the freedom and safety of the State, shall be capable of holding any place of trust or pro6t in the civil depart ment within this State." AVho are ex cluded by this Article i lirst -J AW per sons who. deny the being of a God. This excludes all Atheists. Secondly; All per sons who shall deny the truth of the Pro test ant Religion. This excludes Roman Catholics, Jews, Deists and Atheists; Thirdly : All who deny the divine autho rity of the old and new Testament. This excludes JewsvDeists and Atheists ; and lastly, all who shall hold Re4igious prin ciples incompatible with the freedom and safety of the State. This excludes Qua kers, and all others whose Religious prin ciples forbid them to bear arms in de fence of tbeir country. ManyAloubt the existence of men among us, who deny the being of a God, It is very certain, if tUne be any' Atheists in this State, they are verv few in' number, and al heard of. . It is to be feared however, that inuuid the Convention impose upon Athe ism severe pains and heavy penalties, subjects would not j be wanting for the lake and the rack. We are informed by his:orv, that there was a time in the ex igence of some of the ancient Republics t Gretce, vvhen the law made no.provi sion for ihe punishment of the child 'who s.itikuui nay the parent the crime being ui uiiMiuwii. jjome law-givers, wno mt content witTTenacting pains and pe nalties for the punishment of crimes arid misdemeanors already in existence among them, launched into juturity and provid ed for the punishment ol the crime of par ricide The consequence was, that short fy alierwartjs, the crime-tliat existed be hre in the; imagination of the legislator, now became of frequent occurrence. To do what vve are forbidden by superior powT to do, seems, engrafted in'the ve ry nature of man. Witness the; positive command of God himself to our first Pa rent Adam : Of every tree of the gar den thou may est freely eat,butof the tree of knowledge of good and evil thou sllalt not eat of it, for in the day thou eat est there 'f thou shalt surely die,"; But alas ! A tlam, just from-the hands rthe Creator, perfect in the image ofhis maker, ate of I I I Ik n a sra mm . k W W the truit of that very tree and sinned and died ; hence dll our woe. Need'we then marvel that?man, degenerate man, should sun oe Jatally bent upon mischief. Of late we' have heard that Cartho! ir.s ar nni excluded from office by the S2d section.

Th PGA fprrtlC IrillflV noira beenAvell understood by ther framers of , ,c -u'"i"uiion,uniess it can be supposed that body of men were ignorant and illite rate : for the contrary of which,ihe Con- stitutionitself affords abundant evidence. Tne Protestants were divided into' nu merous sects. ThCfBaptists, Methodists, Episcopalians, Presbyterians, Moravians and Quakers were well known by the general term, of Protestant. Atheists, De ists and Jews, disbelieve the truth of the Protestant religion,, but they are exclud edby other parts of the 32d section. We cannot therefore suppose them to be required to believe in the truth of the Protestant Religion. -wh ot the section hrd ri f . VV,U IIICII1 IU1 .their unbehet in Christianity. It seems. inerelore, that , that part of the 32d i.ec t!on wh"'ch requires a belief in the Truth of the Protesiant Religion was intended to exclude, and i does actual I v exclVde, Roman Catholics from office in'this State. It was thBught a that day;tHs5now thought by some, that llCatMicsoed paramount allegiance to thePope of Rome, anu mat as me members ot that faith be. lieved in the infallibility of the Church, i'na'cpBSictbetwpcn this State and the Pope, members of the RoBan Catho lic faith woirtd be bound to take sides with their spiritual head, to whom theyow ed paramount allegiance. If this was not the reasoning of the frame rs of the Con stitution, they hail no good reasons. If these were their reasons, they were for med in an erroncotfs view of the Catholic doctrine. He said, no good reasons, be cause m every coo ntry they had shewn themselves' as patriotic and as true lovers of freedom as the Presbyterians or any other body of Christians" If they honest ly entertained their notions of the Catho lic faith, they were in an error, and duty required us to correct it But whether the fears of the framers of the Constitu tion were. with or without foundation, whe ther with a full and right understanding of the Catholic faith, whether with an er roneous opinion of the obligations existing oetween tne lay members ot the Romish faith and their Spiritual head, or whether by a wicked spirit of nersecutinn. which is too apt to be formed wherever high pro- lessors are actors anions men, the word Protestant was first in the 32d section of the Constitution, and there it has remain ed from 1776 to the present day. It was placed there, to exclude Roman Catho lics, or it means nothing. They who deny the divine authority of the old or new Testament" are excluded. Jews are not named in the Constitution, yet no man will be found so regardless of the common meaning of the KMjrlish language, as to say, that this clause does not most 11 rtrtmiiiM.nl I if Air.! .1 A C IT9 . .1 uiirijinnn.aiiY .cALi.uue nofii omce ine Children ot Israel. Why? Bt-cause they ilo not believeyn the divine authority of the new Testament. Yet the lanuae in reference to the Jews, in the .32l sec tion, is not more clear and pointed than that which is aimed at the Catholics Previously to the meeting of ihe Conven tion which formed our Constitution in 1776, the Colon jes had been invaded bv La hostile foe arms had been taken nn by the Colonists and blood had been shed in the battle field; In this State, at that time, resided a small society of Moravi ans, or Unilas FratfUm, and several nu merous bodies of Friends or Quakers. They were a people of peace. Their re ligion forbid them, under the penalty of incurring tne everlasting displeasure o him, wnose laws ares Irom everlasting to everlasting, to take up arms upon any occasion, either to repel an invasion or to quell an insurrection. The laws of the h Prince of Peace" they hold more bind ing than tlfe ephemeral lakvs of man the punishment for the violation of the laws ofmortals endures but for a seasorf. while the violation of Heaven's laws, unrepent ed, forever and ever.; They say, that he that in battle is slain, has little time for repentance. Sublime precents! but. how- ever much we may admire them "either in theory or when carrie'd oult into practice, no one can entertain a doubt sbut that when our land is trod by the feet of mer ciless, ravaging, hostile invaders, these Religious nrincinles are intomnatihle with rn i if i ; - - - w . the freedomjsfQd safety of the State. With' reference then to whom, was that clause inhe 32d section inserted, which save. ry Or who shall hold Religious printiples incompatible with the freedom and safety of the State." Though the war of the Revolution raged from 1775 to 1782, these peaceful people, uniformly -refused to bear arms. Suppose all -j Amejicahs to have become converts to this faith, shortly af ter the adopti(m of the Constitution; in 1776, Nv.i it would havebecoine of the freedom and safety of tne State i, Scarce ly should we yet haVet pid tlie penalty which British vengeance Would have ex acted from us, unless we are 'so vain as to beljeve. thWHeaven wottlcljhaveinterced- sPecial ly in our favori to repel the rava!miffJoe.i 'ort'iin tU'nit a fo ia eba ilfeuWaveS beeit 'placea opoir oaf "lv,i,; "y1 u io oear-arms,;-in tne opinion of the framers' of Ihe Constitution, TUjES&tfl, "y reason, or scruples 6f conscience, wasl L.I.I nil ' . .

But it is submitted to the discretion of this Convention, to amend the 32nd sec tion 5 and: an amendment has been offered in the following words to-wit: That no person who shall denv th npiiinp if God, or the truth of theChritian religion, or the divtne authority of the old or new xaiunic-iu, or wno snail hold religious principles ; incomnatib! and safety of the State, shall of holdins anv office of t rilftf ftp nrnfit iiv the civil department within this State." This-amendment. after, a most ahle el and eloqtfent discussion, had passed its utai Him nyw came up lor its second read ing. It seemed to him. th.it if hphnnvl . - 1 --v.iiv"'" the Convention to piiimin ami - 11 a t nr well this amendment before it sh ini 111 hp incorporated in the fundamental law. It there were errors in the, old Constitu tion, and if the 32iul Article be those errors, would it not be advis.th'f" either not o touch it at all, or if touched, to put the axe to the root of the tree. Upon, the! present occason; a unnn nil otJiers in legislating, unless he was satis- lied that good'would result from our ac- tion upon the 32nd section, h fli K'..;. I " i I ill self bound to submit to existing evils, ra ther than fry an experiment which he aw fully Oared and sincerely believed would bring down upon the people greater ones. This Article, he thought, ought never to have had ajilace in the Constitution ; but here it was; and had been since 7G : he believed it had done no very great harm, and was certain it had done no good. its tendency, he though', had been to promote hypocrisy art- offence as hateful as it vas mean. He was very clear that the whole section should remain, unless an amendment could be adopted' that woutd put all men among us, that may be found trust-worthy by the electors or peo pie, upon terms of equality in asking for and receivins office. Let those who con fer office, jgdsre of the nualifications. Entertaining these views upon the first reading of this amendment, the other day, his vote was recorded against str'iki no- out the word Protestant. He hud lifin an attentive thousht silent hearer of this whole debate. Arguments had been ad vanced so jelear and so stron-r. and in such lofty strains of glowing eloquence for striking;it out, that it seemed to him that lurtheif resistance to its abrogation could not be made, and, if he had cor rectly understood gentlemen from eve ry quarter j of the State, in this hodv. nearly all were convinced of its inutility and injustice : but mlempn Imvo iuin ways of gettin"; round its destruciioh. Certain gentlemen say it is a dead letter and entirely harmless; Of iI.hsp. Wo would ask, if there was a dead branch 'in the tree, why not remove it? It is con ceded tobe useless ; then why retain "it with so much pertinacity ? It seemed to him, that gentlemen were not entirely candid and i tincere in the sunnort thev ve their dead letter. But another and more numerous clasc of advocates for the retention sav. thev are instructed that public opinion is so strong at noine, in lavor ot the 32nd sec tion, that they dare not disregard the voice of their constituents. Novy he was one, who would go verv far in carrv out whatever he undertook with srood faith... He had never said much about in structions bv the neonlc to their Reni-e- sentativesbut he thought there was no ureal, difference between the contracts mJZ ir rr ;T 1 . , .il,"Vli0 resentativesjandthe ordinary bargains made between citizen and citizen. ThP man who employed an agent to "transact for him business abroad, could prescribe such terms as might be mutually agreed upon between them, and n th n appointing their Members of Assembly, and Members of Congress or Delegates in Convention, may prescribe such terms as may be mutually agreed upon, and he who breaks the bargain, whether it be nrin- cipal oragent, in the shape of an individual, a Meriiber of Assembly, Member of Con- (rrouc nr nulawit. liiP,.... r:.i g vjji untiaic in unveniiun, is laiiu- ess and not; trust worthv.

The only class against whom there was any -excitement in the public mind was the Roman Catholics, and this was known to all. None could deny it. That portion of the people, who busied themselves . about it, wished it retained as a wall against what they supposed to be the damnable assaults of the Romish Church upi?n the freedom & safety of the State; Have instructions been obeyed ?

Why should Catholics bei admitted to a participation in the offices of trust and pr.ifit in this State; while Jws,Quakers,and Deists are excluded.

He said he would take the liberty of.saying, for he was of a Qua ker ilescerit, that in all the private walks of life and all the social relations of life, there as not on earjh a purer people They were truly a people of peace and good works. TheSe observations lie had made, not to disparage the just claims of the Catholics, but as a matter of sheer jus tice to tUe proscribed Quakers. Mr.-. W. said, "the Friends" held some notions that lie did not approve. He had been at war with them on the nuestion of negro slavery. Although their opinions on this point were palpably wrong, yet no one acquainted with them, and with their Re!igU.-js principles, can for a moment believe, that their Religious nreiudices ei. Iher against bearirg arms or against negro -slavery, weakened their integrity ; for they were strict observers of their" agreements-and punctual performers; of their contracts, the worftl over. He knew no thing bf his own knowledge, of the Ro man Catholics, but as far as he could ga ther fiom books and men, they were pret much tike all Olher denominations, having much in their system that is of man' and not quite so much that is "of God," an an scuidnans .ire dtsposea to arrogate 10 meipseives. as an Institution suited to the. various feelings and frailties and necessities of man, he believed no Church on earth had superior claims. Imperfec tions, impurities and errors will exist in all institutions, Whose superintendance is subject to man's control, and whatever may have been the origin of the Cathol ics, the Presbyterian, the Episcopalian or the Wesleyan system, he hazarded nothing in saying, that their government was now in the hands of those who see and feel, as sinful nan sees and feels.

Who have been active in put ting in circulation that tissue of falsehoods "Six months In a Convent?" Who are the victims of this stuff? The honest and confiding part of the people, over- whom the Priesthood, as well in this;countrv as in every other, have exercised an uncon trolled influence; Upon this excitement, the small and "crafty.

But, Mr. President, the Word " Pro testant," from ihe length of time'lit has existed' in our Constitution, is .venerated by the people, and has acquired some thing like certainty in Us meaning ; riot so with the word which is now pot in its place. Nothing Is more profitable to the people in any Government than certainty Yri tfi fw. attainment of a krrowledge of the law is difficult, when its provisions are couched in the clearest language $ a competent knowledge cannot be acquired when it is clothed in words of uncertain and indefinite meaning. Where can two professors of Christia nity, belonging to different sects, be found, that will agree in the meaning of the word Christian. True it is, that all sectarians of this country claim tabe Christians, but whenever the issue shall be made up to try whether an individual is a Christian, the defendant will, ;U governed by the laws of self-preservation, excuse from serving on his jury, all members ofahe accusingbody.
