REMUNERATION.
To the ministers of the GOSPEL.

" NAAC lIAltAStefS Oh the OOSDeI.
How men protesting to teach the pure princi
pies OF the gospel can support man, for the heat
OF this great people, with such private charac
ter as that of Mr. Clay, is great mystery TO ma
ny with whom we daily converse. 1t is a severe
stab at the truths of revelation, that years will
hardly efface. We are rejoiced that one whg
minister of the gospel, at least, has come out
from such foul connection. We commend his
course to others, if they desire the respect Of
moral and religious people:
From The Woodstock (T't.) .4ge.
THE MORAL AND RELIGIOUS PORTION OF
THE COMMUNITY AROUSED.
We present our readers, this week, with let
ter, renouncng all connection with the coon par
ty, from the Rev. Aaron B. Kinsman, of Chelsea,
and ask for it a candid perusal. Mr. Kinsman is
highly estimable minister of the gospel, and a
worthy citizen. As he finds it impossible, con-
ssient with his obligations to the gospel he prea-
ches, and his oath as freeman, 10 support for
the Presidency ga duelist, profane swearer''
and gambler, he has deemed it his duty 80 to
inform the public-Those who have the slight
est regard for religion and public morals cannot
but go and do likewise:
| FELLOW CITIZENS The time has arrived.
when every lover of his country must come bold
| ly TO the rescue. lft is right, that duellist,
protane swearer, one who prostitutes the Sabbath
to political purposes, an immoral man, man who
has been toI and against every prominent politi-
cal measure that is now before the people, should
be President of the United States, then indeed
am wrong in saying that although supported
the wings in the last Presidential contest, can
not in the approaching one. If man who has
led an immoral and intemperate life, whose ex-
ample before his sons has been such, that they
following in his steps, are pests to society, is quail
| flied for the Office Of President of the United
States, then indeed am wrong in abandoning
the whig party.
Dsclaming all right to scrutinze the private
charactero Of individuals, other than so far as the
public are concerned, still must say that deem
It an lnsult to the intelligence and moral sense
| OF the community, that men of the most aban-
doned and vicious practices should be elevated
to offices Of honor and profit, although they may
possess ever so brilliant talents. Who is there
amongst us but must hide his head for shame.
when viewing the contrast between whig promi-
lses in 1910 ana their fufiment at the extra ses-
sion in lS4l? This is asked in no spirit of exul-
taton, in no spirit of party animosity, but in So
Der sadness; and under painful humiatiug
sense Of the stigml and disgrace then brought
upon us. The wings as party, held no one
principle in common, other than an insatiate
thirst for Office, which they developed in a most
dlsgraceful manner, Immediately OH their attain
ing power.
There never was an administration that came
into power under more favorable ausp;ces large
majority in both houses of ofCongress.-M Web
Ister at the head of the cabinet, made up of their
strongest men, and Mr.. Clay 10 dictate TO both
Houses, their power was unlimited. The coun-
TRY had Just recovered from the great commercial
revulson Of 1887, and had the government cx-
tended her fostering hand to our agriculture
commerce and manufactures equally we should
have gone on in the road TO national prosperity
with gigantic strides. But such was not to be
our happy lot. ''Proud man,
Dressed in a little brief authority
Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven
AS makes the angels weep"
And the tricks played by those IN authority atE
Washington in lS4l and 1912, caused us all to
mourn and lament. Instead of attending TO du-
ties of their stations, they we're fighting, rioting
duelling and plotting for the succession AS
might have been expected from such proceedings
the country was reduced to the most degrading
humility The elections in lS42 gave the dem
ocrats the power in measure in l843, and then
commenced the dawn of our national prosperity
again. Fellow citizens of the whg party, let me |
beseech you to throw off party trammeIs, 70 look
to our national prosperity, and 90 with the DEM
ocracy in endeavorng to elect Polk and Dallas. |
men ofclean hands and pure minds, men that,
it elected, will devote their time and talents
to their country
