The same Legislature has also ratified, to its full ex tent, this principle; - that the Apostolical Church in this realm is henceforth only to stand, in the eye of the State, as one sect among many, de pending, for any preeminence she may still ap pear to retain, merely upon the accident of her having a strong party in the country.
