Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Statement of Facts and Circumstances Connected With the Recent Trial of the Bishop of New-York
On the first day of last October, I left home for the city of Philadelphia, to attend to my duties as a member of our geneta ral Ecclesiastical Convention, which was to meet in that city; The Convention of my Town diocese had just closed its annual session. It had been unhsuallfy large, and distinguished by a very marked degree of unity and harmony. The circumstans ces under which it assembled, Were such as to render its pros (seedings a very special proof of the kindest feelings of confis dence and affection on the part of the clergy and lait')r of the diocese, (toward their Bishop; The reports laid before it, and there made to me, gave strong evidence of the divine goodness in blessing the diocese with a large measure of spiritual and term poral good.
Rejoicing in the consolation and encouragement thus afford-t ed, I repaired to the General Convention, and gave myself to its duties in a spirit of humble and grateful devotion to the Church. Soon, hovvever, it became manifest, from the deport-s ment of several of my Right Reverend brethren, that they had somewhat against me. They said nothing. Not a word did I hear of any rumors or accusations against me not a Word of a brother's anxiety to be set right not a Word of fraternalvva'rn-s ing, caution, br admonition. Cold, repulsive, discourteous mam ner, told a dark and uncertain tale on which Christian converse might and should have thrown light.
