The draught having received their sanction, a large number of printed ?.-oples were distributed, and so extensively signedby the people of evera religion* de oomhiaRon, thut at the ensuing session the ' prelect*J measure was entirely frustrated; and under the influence of the public senti ment thus manifested, the celebrated bill "establishing religious freedom" enacted into a permanent barrier again* future at tempts on the rights of conscience, as de clared in the grant charter prefixed to the constitution of the state. Be pleased to exccpt, sir, my friendly respects. JAMES MADISON. George Mason, Green Spriug, near Wil liamsburg, Virginia. To the honorable the general aooembly of the commonwealth of Virginia. *1 memorial and remonstrance.?We, the subscribers, citisens of the said common wealth, having taken into serious considera tion, a bill printed by order of the last ses stan of the general assembly, entitled, "a ' MQ establishing a provision for teachers of the christian religion," and conceiving that the same, if finally armed with the sanc t tlons of a law, will be a dangerous abuse of power, are bound, as faithful members of a me state, to remonstrate against it; and to i declare the reasons by which we are deter- i ?MIT remonstrate against the said , Because, we hold it for a fundamental and ttnwniable truth, "that religion or the du ty which We owe to our Creator, and the I [ manner of discharging it, can be directed ' t*wy by reason and conviction, not by force *r vlnfense."* The religion then of every ??? ^ to the conviction and con science of every man) and it is the riahtof ?very man to exercise it as these may dic This right tain its nature an unaiiena* Me right.

It Is the duty of every man to ramler to Vie Creator such homage. anA such only, aa he believes trfbe accep table to him) this doty la precedent, both ?an ean be considered a member of cTrll tjctaty, he must beoenaidored as a subject * .*> fyr* grvStmt, And y. authority? much mmru ttwai ligioo, no?an'i right to abridged by stttutien of civil McktT| ami that reli wholly exempt from ltU,inat no other rule qnrstioo whkh mu ultimately dctermii majority | bothIs also 1 ty may trcspui on the righto of the mi ^Becaus*, if rellgttoi be exempt from the authority of the society atlarge, still less can it Im subject to that of the legislative ? body.

The pre nervation of a free government require* not merely that the metes a nt bound* which se parate each department of power be trtva riably maintained; but more especially, that neither uf them be suffered to overleap the grcft barrier, which defvuds the rights of the people. The rulers who are guilty of such an encroachment* exceed the commit-1 sion from which they derive their authority, I and aft tyralito, The people who submit to K are governed by laws made neither by themselves, nor by an authority derived frem them, ami are slavcss & . this prudent Jealousy to be the ftrst duty of cttiaen* and one of the noblest chtrMUvii tk? of the late revolution.

They mm I the conscqu enccs iff Hie principle, and, they avoided the consequences by denyh% the principle. We revere tbia lesaon too much, soon to forget it AVlio does not see that the same authority which can establish Christianity, in cvri?iiiqof all other rell gionr, may establish witfc.Uu> same ease, any particular sect of christians to exclu sion ef all other acuta? That the same an* thority which can force u tfasen to contti bute three-pence only of hto property for the inpfnrt of any one establishment, may force hmrto cpnform to eny ether eatabltolt iuent in all eseM whatsoever* llecaune, thin htt violate# that equality Inch ought to be the basis of evmy Uw; which ought and which is more htdls|tensible, in propor tion as the validity or expediency of any lew is more liable to be bn|Mrnched. If "aft m cu ere by nature equally free and Indepen dent, "f nil men ere to be considered as en tering into society on equal condition*, as relmqnithing no more, and therefore retain ing no lesr, one than another, of their rights. Above all, are they to be considered as re tahiing nu tttle to the free exercise of religion according to the die^itcs of con sciencc. "J Whilst we assert for ourselves a . r .-cdron to embrace, to profess and to ob serve the religion which wc believe to be of divine origin, we cannot deny An equal free dom to those, whose minds ha< e not yet j yielded to the evidence which has convinced' us. It' this freedom be abused, it is an of fence again* Uod, not against man* To (tod, therefore, nr* to men, must an ac count of it lie rendered. Asthe bill viola tea equality bar subject in densj so It violates equality hjr subjecting some to peculiar bur tne same principle, by granting to other* peculiar exemption!?? Xre the Quakers and Menonists the only Kcti who lUiitk a compulsive support of their religion* unnecessary and unwarranta ble? Can their piety alotie be intrusted with the care of public worship? - Ought their religions to be endowed, above all others* with extraordinary privilege*, by which proselvtes may f>e'enticed from all others'? We tnink too fivorably of the justice and good sen?e of these denominations, to be lieve, that they either covet pre-eminence* over their fellow-citiscns, or that tltcy will bu scduccd by them, from the common op position to tiic measure. Because, the bili implies either that the civil magistrate i? a competent judge of re ligion* truth; or that he may employ reli gion n* an engine of civil policy. The first ife an urrogant pretention, falsified by the contradictory opinion* of ruler* in all are*, and through!nit the world: The hcconuan unhallowed pervcr*io|i of the mean* of salvation: Hccause, the establishment proposed by the bill is not requisite for the support of the christian religion. To my that it is, is a contradiction to the christian religion it* self; for every page of it disavows a depen dence on the powers of this world: It is a contradiction to facts for it is known that this religion both existed a?id flourished, not only without the support of human laws, but in spite of every opposition from them; and not only during the period of miracu lous aid, but long after it had been left to ita own evidence, and the ordinary care of pro vidence! Nay, it is a contradiction in terms} for ? religion not invented by human policy, must have pre existed and l>een supported, before it was established by human policy.' It is moreover to weaken in those who pro fess this religion, a pious cenfidenre in its in nate excellence. And the patronage of ita author) and to foster in those .who still reject H, a suspicion, thut its friend* are too con scious or its fallacies, to trust it to its own merits: Bccause, experience witnesseth, that ec clesiastical establishments, instead of main taining the purity and efficacy of religion, have had a contrary operation. During al most fifteen centuries, has the legal estab lishment of Christianity been on trial. What have been Ha fruits' More or less in all places, pride ai d indolence in the clergy; ignorance ami servility in the Isity; in both, superstition, bigotry and persecution. In quire of the teachers of Christianity for the ages in which K appeared h its greatest lus tre) those of every sect point to the ages prior to its Incorporation with civil policy.? Pfopoee a restoration of this primitive state, ht which its teachers depended on the volun tary towards el their flocks* many of them predict its downfall. On which aide ought their testimony to have greatest weight, whan for, or when against their Interest? Because, the establishment In question Is not necessary for the support el civil gov ?W>w?n. If It be urged as necessary for the support of civil government, only as H 1VC the guardian of tht Nbertie* of lUc people..

The first With df thane who enjoy this pre cious gift, ought to be, that it may be im parted to the whole rate of mankind. Com pare the number of those who have as yet received it, with the number still remaining under the dominion of false religions! and how small is the former.' Does the policy of the bill tend to lessen the-disproportion? No: ivat'once discourage* those who are strangers to the light of revelation from coming into the region ef it; and countco enccs, by example, the nations who con tinue hi darkness, in shutting out thhee who might cohvey i* to them. Instead of level ling as far as possible, every obstacle to the victorious progress of truth, the hill with an ignoble and unchristian timidity, would circumscribe It, with a wall of defence, against theenr roachmentsof error: Bcrcttae, attempts to enforce by legal sanctions, acts obnoxious to so great a pro portion of citiseas, tend to enervate the laws In general, and to slacken the bands of so ciety. If it be difficult to execute any law which is not generally doomed necessary or salutary, what must be the cssci where it Is which is not generally doomed necessary or salutary, what must be the cascw where It is dcemea invalid and dangerous? And what may be the effect of ao striking an example of impatency In the government, on its general authority: Because, smeasureof such singular mag nitude and delicacy ought not to he Imposed, without the clearest evidence that It la call ed for by a majority of citisene: And no sat isfactory method is yet proposed, .by which the voice of the majority in this case may he determined, or Ha influenoe secured.-* "The people of the respective counties sse indeed requested to signify their opinion res pecting the adoption of the bill to the neat session of assembly." But the representa tion must be made equal, before the voice either of the representatives* or of the counties, will be that of the people. Our hope is, that neither of the foftner will, after due consideration, espouse the danger ous principle of the bill. Hhould the event disappoint us, it will still leave us la Bill con fidence, that a fair appeal to the letter will reverse the sentence against our liberties. Because, finally. m Uie ?qual right of eve ry citisen to the free exercise of his reli gion, according to the dictates ef con science/* is held by the same tenure with all our other right*.
