PUSYISM—ITS PRINCIPLES AND PATRONS.

Though the public journals have, for some time past, devoted so much of their attention to “Puseyism,” the

rinciples which constitute that creed are not‘ generally liuown. It is. one of its leading doctrines that the authority of the clnircli is superior to that of the Severeign or the State, and that consequently the legislature has no right to interfere in ecclesiastical matters. The Puseyites maintain, that all children baptised by tlIesclIurclI are converted at their baptism, and that there can be no saving repentanhc for sins alter persons have reached the years of Iiiatirrity. They admit, howaver, that there may be reconversion by means of the Sacraments. They repudiate every thing of an evangelical nature, and place the whole essence ot're- ligion in the observance ofexternal forms. They are great sticklers for fuels, and attach greater importance to them than to the Sabbath-day. They deny the right ofthe com- mon people to road the Scriptures, unless they have first read the Common Prayer Book, and are prepared to in- terpret the Scriptures by it, instead of interpreting the Prayer Book by the Bible. They also set up tradition as a sure and infallible guide in all matters of religion, and view the inspired volume as subordinate in authority to _it. “ Puseyism” regards the Virgin Mary as, in one sense, divine, and consequently worthy of worship. The Puseyites further maintain that departed saints are to he prayed to, and that prayers are to be made for them. They believe, in other words,‘ in a modified form of [Mir ratory. Their opinions on ilic subject of trunsitlistantintion are substantially the same as those ofthe Rotnan Catholics. They look on all beyond the pale of the church with a harsh and uncliaritable eye, and though they do not go so far as to say that no dissenter can be saved, they assert the right oftlic church to compel conformity to her ritual. They do not disguise the fact, that if they were armed with the rcqutsitc civil power, they would exercise that power for the purpose ofextinguishingr dissent. Such are the leading principles of “ Puseyism.” The party has increased with astounding rapidity within the last five years. It is ,nn ascertained fact, that a great majority of the students of divinity in the University of Oxford are deeply imbued with the spirit of “Puseyism.” The leading clorgymcn in Oxford who have indentified themselves with the new faith are Dr. Pusev, Professor Hebble, Professor Sewell, and Mr. Newman. n Yorkshire its most zealous abettor is the Rev. Dr. Hook, of Leeds, son of Mr. Theodore Hook, the novelist. In London its most popular advocates are the Rev. Henry Melville, of Camden Chapel, Camberwell; the Rev. Sanderson Robins, of Char- lotte Chapel, Pimlico; and the Rev. William Dodsworth, of Trinity Chapel, Regent‘s-Park. In the Legislature onl two gentlemen have openly indentified themselves wit “ Puseyism,” namely, Mr. Gladstone, the member for New- ark, and Sir Thomas Acland, member for Devonsliire. The former hon. gentleman has written an elaborate work in its defence, umler the title of “Church and State.” But though the ‘two members just mentioned are the only members who have openly embraced “Pusey-ism,” it is well known that there are several others who are its private abettors. Sir Robert Peel is suspected of having some leanings that way, and «the Puseyitcs make no secret of the circumstance that, in the event of his coming into office, Dr. Hook, of Leeds, is on his list for the first vacant bishopric that may occur. The Puscyites have several influential organs in the public press. One morning paper, every one knows, has indentified itself with t ir cause. The “ Quarterly Review” has fairly com- mitted self with them The “ British Critic,” another quar- terly review of great influence and circulation, is entirely under their control, being edited by Mr. Newman, the edi- tor of the “Tracts of the Times,” and th of those Tracts, which hasexcited so much attention. The “British Magazine” is also a Puseyite publication, and the Liverpool Mail, and several other provinci
