Out. 2$t»r, 18T0. f
|f Dear Doedor r After reading the
paragraph ia yowr editorial of the
12tb inst., asking my testimony con
corning the character of the lari
General Synod, T promptly prepared
a reply, kindly, bat emphatically de
firing the allegations made tn the
extract published ; at the same time
expressing an unwillingness to be
lieve that aay of the North Carolina
delegation could have made sueli an
unqualified charge. ) laid it by a
day for such revision as farther re
fection might suggest. I then placed
it in the post-office, but too late for
the mail of that day. Receiving two
letters from North Carolina tile same
evening, rendering it mi necessary to
send that reply, 1 withdrew it from
the ]>ost-officp, and now send you
this as a substitute.
Both the tetters were frpm brethren
in whose integrity 1 have confidence.
They are frank and aneqttivoeal. The
sue says, hi speaking of the extract
(from the* North Carolina letter)
given in the Lutheran Visitor : “I
regret very much Its publication, (1)
bccaose the statement it contains is
not correct, and (T) because no cans©
exists,why the impression of a single
should be paraded in no
public a manner before th© church.”
He theft addftt *9 have not heard
anything of the kind from any one
of the North Carolina delegates that
ftttohded the Genera! riytiod, and I
have seen and conversed with all
but one store my return tn the Old
North State.’” '* -n <•
** The other gives, in explanation,
the fact that in a desultory res reels
tion with him, one of the lay dele
gates made the obnoxious statement,
and he had repMted it in a private
letter, with us orti design whatever 1 .”
And from my acquaintance with that
lay-brother, I am persu.ded that he
did not intend to defame the Gener
al Byuod; bwt fri a private converse
tioft, merely gave MS impression Of
some incidents’of that masting, which
impression, one of my correspondent*
