Some Of the leading men Of the church have ex-
pressed much dissatisfaction at the political con
duet of Benjamin F. Butler, a contender with
them. There is strong desire among the wings
to have the charge of worldly miadedness, &c. pre-
ferred against Mr. B. 1t is said by some of them
that no christian should NEEDLE with the abomina
bic party politics of the day. IL is doubtful, how
| ever, whether any charges will be made, as DR.
Skinner is excellent manager in keeping favor
with the rich. In the present instance, we think il
is commendable to keep quiet; but in many other
cases, must condemn the minister, who is govern
ed by q few wealthy men, which has always been
! the practice with DR.. S. Our own opinion is that
the Doctor does not preach closely he did when
| in Boston or elsewhere. For this, however, he
alone must be responsible; awful, indeed, will it be
! if his skirts shall be found stained with the cd
| of sinners.
| REMovAL.-The Rev. Mr.. Lyon, brother to the
Reader Of the Crosby street Synagogue, who has
lately arrived from Surnam, will leave this city
shortly for Richmond, Va, where he is to take
charge of the Synagogue in that place. May God
prosper his journey, aud bless him in all thirgs.
SALARY AND SoULs-It is now pretty generally
conce ded that the Rev Mr. Whitaker, recently con-
verted from Universalism, will unite with the Pres
byterians. He has for some time been preaching in
the Presbyterian Church. at the corner Of Cstharne
and Madison streets, where, we now prophesy, he
will have call, ifso, he will doubt accept. The
salary will probably be 1920 Thas we see that
the efforts of the Methodist and the Baptists to Sc
cure him have proved truitless.
A PIoUs NEsroR.-The venerable Dr. Nathaniel
Emmons, former Pastor Of the Congre gational
Church in Franklin, Mass, for SIS ye g, has been
called home to his heavenly man sion He died on
VI H., las tl,a u
Doctor, the Oldest surviving graduate of Yale Col.
egs and the oldest clergyman in the United States,
was an eminent Theologan, and has written a num-
Der of works; his peculiar doctrine was Hopkinsa-
nism, which he advocated with his tongue and pen,
almost to the end of his life For many years he re-
NAMED widower but married clergy mans widow
some ten years ago. He has left property sufficient
to insure his widow a comfortable support. A son
of the Doctor is practising ply stefan in Maine and
daughter is married to the Rev. DR.. Ide, Of Med
way, a few miles from Franklin.
THE jewish CHURcH.-We had determined TO
attend divine worship at the Synagogue in Crosby
street, Saturday last, to hear the brother OF the
present Minister that Shuie (church) oficiate;
but in this, in many other things this life Of vi
csstude, we were sadly disappointed not having
time to go. We are informed, however, that not.
wihstanding the elder, Mr.. Lyon had been indispo-
sed during the last week, he got hrou gh in master
" manner, giving universal satisfaction. Wednes-
day is week the great day Of Atone pent, when we
expect give up every thing for the!sake Of attend
ing the solemni,ies. We have no seat in the Syna.
goyue but on the great feast, when sins are to
be forgiven; when all malice and envy must cease;
when all our oaths and obi cations to be null and
void: surely oar friend Noah will procure one for
us II is our intention to take pew somewhere,
and it is time decide where. We shall also visit
the Synsgogues in Elm and Henry streets the
same day.
A SINNER tx BLAeK.-For the last year, a tail and
ministerial looking man has been in the habit Of
strolling up and down several Of our public Streets
uodding and smiling at almost every pretty woman
and girl he CHANGED to meet. Oftesmes too, he has
followed them into dry goods stores. confec onaries
cake shops, and fruit stores, whittier they had gone
to avoid him Indeed it wonderful that he has not
been exposed in some way before this. Our eye has
been upon him for several months, and as we have
the best evidence as to what assert shall not
hesitate to give publicity TO the whole affair very
short time. Is it not nonstrous that minister Of
the Gospel, and former President of Pre- sbyterian
College, should degrade himself, as to appear in
the character Of a libertnel
