ANXIOUS to possess.
We h-ve lateiy sen a god deal il the

goas &ects having some tic I u1on your
STATE elections. We have seen hints
thrown out, that in Connec,icuJ especially.
the people are split into two greet secs.

Nor do we enquire The rules Of 1,;eoib--
Hns which are observed in the goysrn-osrt
otyour ohnr, his whether they are Ind
penlents or Presbyterians, or by wha;gvrr
name they are Distinguished
Because, though these are poi,,ts of
mucn import .nce TO the Conscience and n
the church, they are too delicate X subtle
to enter into The region Of politics -J'bev
seem to lay beyond the Jurisdiction Of &c
laFo, and the coenizance OF the h7ess. Az
well nay the pulpit preach politics. az the
poiltilaFdis,uro religion.
1t Is only wnen the Church seete an
alliance with the State, that It becomes
legitimate subject of discussion: in the h..
gislatiVe hall or i'll the newspapers.
Thisis the ngle point of view in which
we would bring the subject before yon.--
Waat alliances have been frmed In vaur
states etween the Government and the
