To the Editor of the New-York Daily Times:

  In an advertisement for Uncle Tom's Cabin, to be performed at "PURDY's Moral Temple," published in your issue of Saturday last, the following language is used: "It must be remembered that this theatre is recognized by the Church and Clergy, as a powerful instrument in doing good, and promoting the doctrines of Christianity," &c.

  It is surprising how any one could have the face to publish such a statement as this, the morality of which is worse than that of any announcement of the managers of other Theatres not claiming the character of moral temples, that we have yet seen. It is evidently intended to beguile church members into the pernicious practice of theatre-going, which, so far from being "recognized by the Church and Clergy," is made a matter of Church discipline by both. Let no church member be hoodwinked by such a statement. "PURDY's Moral Temple" has never been recognized by the Church and Clergy, and never will be. From temples of morality we expect truth to issue; but from moral temples, such as the one thus seeking to obtain the advantage of its neighbors, we expect bad statements as well as bad English; yet, lest any be taken by this baited hook, the Editor of the TIMES is requested to publish this caveat by

ONE OF THE CLERGY.
