Excerpt from Dr. Lee's Refutation of the Charges Brought Against Him by the Rev. Dr. Chalmers and Others, in Reference to the Questions on Church Extension and University Education, Vol. 1: With an Appendix, Containing the Evidence of Dr. Lee Before the Commissioners of Religious Instruction It would be an irksome task to trace the origin of the nu profitable dissension which has arisen on a subject generally thought so trivial as the nomination of a Moderator of the General Assembly. Worthy as have been the individuals on whom the choice has for the most part fallen, so few of them have been signalized by any extraordinary qualifications, that there could be no great presumption in any minister of average attainments, who listened to a proposal to confer on him that transitory distinction. It has bean said by D! Chalmers in a late pamphlet, and in a previous letter publish ed in the newspapers, that for more than half a century the old Moderators have exercised the privilege of nominating or recommending to the Church. If this were true, Dr Chal mers himself did certainly, one year at least, support a can didate who, though highly deserving, was not the nominee of the old Moderators.' But, in point of fact, the nomina tion by the Old Moderators was first assumed, not fifty years ago, but about fifteen years ago, subsequently to the contest between the supporters of Dr Cook and those of Dr Lamont in 1822 and it is certainly within the last five years that the system of alternation has been introduced. With these mat ters I have never troubled myself; for since I have been one of the Clerks of the Church, the duties have been so much more laborious than formerly, that my time during every Assembly has been always so much engrossed as to al low me few opportunities of intercourse even with my oldest friends; and thus nobody could hear less of what was going on than I have done.
