Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur
In introducing the following pages to the public, it is proper that we give a succinct statement of the origin of the discussion, as well as the reasons which have induced us to publish it in this form. In the month of A pril, 1855, an article was copied into the columns of the South Western Baptist, from the Western Watchman, entitled Episcopal Methodism, anti-A merican. T he article from the Western Watchman is inserted in the Tolume, because of its connection with the discussion. The pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Tuskegee, tne Rev. E. J. Hamill, feeling that injustice had been done his denomination in that article, wrote a reply to it, which reply was countersigned by three members of his charge, and offered it to the editors of the Baptist, for publication. It was cheerfully accepted; and as the junior editor of that paper, Rev. J. M. Watt, was about retiring from his position, it devolved upon the senior editor to rejoin to that communication. The editor felt called upon, in terms which he could not mistake, cither to repudiate the article from the Watchman, or to defend it. And while he freely acknowledged that there was a portion of that article obnoxious to the charge of injustice, from which he cheerfully withdrew any implied endorsement which its simple republication involved, he at the same time felt bound to maintain, that the main scope of the argument it contained, was subject to no such charge, and could be, in his opinion, successfully maintained. (P erhaps it is due to the editor, to state, that the article from the Watchman was copied by his junior associate, and in print some time before he saw it.
