166 THE EX-PARTE COUNCIL, any one else, and propose, in a neat little speech, informal action by way of cleteiTnining how many then present would like Mr. Eustis for Pastor. Suffice it to say, all present felt at perfect liberty to vote, and all who chose, did vote on the occasion."* "A Member of the Ex-parte Council " is pleased to say that the voluminous replies to the Result of said Council "have not denied ome of the facts." That is true: the South Church people never deny facts. Noah Web- ster says, " To deny a fact l^nowingly, is to lie." [See the word " fact " in quarto editions.] But the South Church people have denied or disproved many of the statements of the Council and of the petitioners, either in terms or in effect. In short, if ever the under-pinning was effectually knocked out from beneath an imposing structure, it has been done in the present instance. A Member of South Church. The above are the principal documents which have heretofore been published in relation to the Ex-parte Council. And now the question may be asked, espe- cially by persons at a distance, " What, after a year's experience, has been the effect of the action of that ant," as he calls him, gives Deacon Whittlesey his present title. Why- should he not? He was writing in 18G4 of an event which took place some years previously. So likewise lie gives Dr. Dutton his present title, although lie might not have received it prior to 1856. If our informant had said Mr. Whittlesey and Mr. Dutton, the same lacility of censure which in one case calls him a "blundering informant," would most likely have been offended by his rudeness. * This statement, taken in connection with a paragraph quoted in ray last from " A Member of the Ex-parte Council," together with my comments thereon, sets the matter of female voting in the Chapel- street Church, on the occasion alluded to, in a clear light.
