Political Ministers.

DEAR BRorHER:-What are the duties of
gospel minister with reference to politics? is
question which has often presented itself to my
mind. No consistent answer can be given, unless
we have distinct perception of the meaning of
the word Politics. Webster's definition is, "The
essence of government: that part of ethics which
consists in the regulation and government of a ma
ton or state, for the preservation of its safety,
peace and prosperity" BY 1" ethics'' he means
The doctrines OF morality, the science Of moral
philosophy"
According to these definitions the man who en-
cages in politics is advocating the doctrines of
moral philosophy, and applying them to matters of
political faith and action Here, then, | take my
stand, and record my most solemn conviction, that
every minister of the gospel should take part in
politics! | am aware Of the disadvantage of hav-
ing the unpopular side Of the questions and are
equally aware that the popular side of most ques-
tons is the wrong side. The course Of this world
has heen generally wrong, touching those subjects
which relate to the 'peace, safety and prosperity"
of nations or individuals. On the subject of poll
tics the country and the world have gone astray.
forgotten, and means are used generally by politi-
clans Ito secure their ends) (which would "dsgrace
the meanest pettfogger who ever lied before ju-
ry" Men who are disgrace to humanity and Il
curse to their country, have succeeded in getting
into their hands the control of the national affairs,
and are giving character to what they call the pol
itics the nation! They have, by handling, pol

TO come in contact with it; and it is the settled
purpose of the leaders in political movements to
perpetuate this abuse of politics, until none less
vile than themselves shalt be found to put a
hand to the affairs of STATED And such are the
men who are most boiserous in the demand that
ministers shall have nothing to do with politics!
But what part ought the minister to take in pol
tics?
He should not be "party man." in the modern
political sense of the phrase. Nor should any
other one be such man. In the modern practi-
cal sense of the phrase, he will go to all lengths
with the party He will stand by it in honor and
dishonor, through evil report and good report-ir
doing good and in doing evil. He will advocate
any principles, and carry out any measures, which
may be sanctioned by the party. We have notable
examples in ABUNDANCE of such party men in thu
so called democratic ranks. This is seen in the
sudden conversion of their northern men to TIT
same side of the Texas question occupied by lhe
leader. They were as ready as any others to de
nounce the annexation scheme until one in its ia
vor was made the candidate of the party for the
presidency. But no maker Of sonersets ever NOR

BILE! Out upon such glaring absurdity and can't
ing hypocrisy!
How much has the world and the Church suf-
fered for the want of correct moral principle in
connection with political action As for the world
that, long since, declared that all was fair in poll
tics But the church, which ought to be in all
things pattern of purity, how has she sinned a
gainst the cearest light, and fallen from her high
position to a level with the lowest! She yet pays
thes of &C mint, annis and cumtnn, but neg ects
the weghter matters of the law, Judgment mercy
and the love of God" She looks. or pretends to
look, to the dollars aud cents which she thinks
are involved in bank or sub treasury; but where
is her careuness to secure 7the appreciation of
God upon her political action? She yet looks, or
pretends to look to the protection of the sheep with
their teeceS and of the OK and the hog, with their
horns and hoof-but where is her policy for the
protection of men who are chattezed and bough
and sold, and robbed and whipped, and left half
dead, for her to gaze upon as she passed by in her
pursuit of the toys which engross the attention of
political babieS | speak not of the church in her
collective capacity, but Of her members-those
which the church is made of;-and it is a notor-
Gus truth that these generally have no moral prin-
ciples to guide them in their political COURSE
They may pray for good rulers and good laws,
but they vote for anything rather than these Alas
professors of religion are too much like theswear-
ing bishop, who, when reproved by the peasant,
said, he did not swear bishop, but only as a
man. But" said his reprover, "when God
sends the man to hell for swearing, where will the
bishop be-" Church members pray like Chris
tians but vote like men. Let the ministers of the
sanctuary do their duty, by calling back the people
to the great science of moral philosophy, as appi
cable to politics. Then may we expect to see our
holy religion casting off the filthy garments of po-
lltlcal corruption in which its professors have
clothed it, and it will arise and shine in the gar
ment5 of salvation. Politics may yet become what
the name imports, and the safety, peace and pros
perlty of the nation may be secured and preserved
Safety from internal riots and Instruction, for a
pure morality will rule. Peace for God, who car
build or plant, pluck up destroy, will defend us
Prosperity will be secured, for safety and peace
will both lead to it. Then would literature ant
science shed their lights, in all their brightness
upon the minds of the nation. Arts and manufac-
lures would flourish under the reign of pure mo
ralty, holding in its hand the political compass
and the religion of Jesus instead of being chokec
by the rank weeds Of a poisonous political growth
would find genial and ready prepared soil ir
which to flourish, under the shunshine and showers
of proptious heaven.

at Tuscaloosa, Ala, a few days since.
On the evening Of the 18th ult., Mr..
Thomas S. TaItord, respectable citizen
of Tuscaloosa county, while in pursuit OF
his horse fell into well between 10 and
80 feet deep. He remained there that
night and the next day, crushed by the
fall on bricks al the bottom. No person
heard his cries for help, until little boy,
between sunset and daik, threw dead
pig into the well, Mr.. Talford. then spoke,
and the news soon spread, Ropes were
brought and Mr.. Joseph I. Pearce, wor.
thy mechanic, descended the well with a
rope fastened to bis body, and fixing ano-
ther rope round the chest Of MIR, Taiord,
both were drawn up. The Monitor states
that Mr. TaItord was almost in the last
stuge Of exhaustion and suffering. He
had been in the well about TWEEN y-three
hours, doubled up as he fell, unable to
move his limbs. He was unapIe to stand
or move his legs-the conclusion OF the
spinal nerves had paraIyzed him. He
was taken to dwelling, where he receiv-

men, and the prospect OF his recovery Isl

We are indebted to Capt. L. B. Durham,
OF the United States snag boat Gopher, for
the following facts relative to the loss OF
the steamboat Lucy Walker, and the great
destruction Of human life on board Of
her.
The Lucy Walker left this port Yesterday,
ior New Orleans, crowded with passengers,
When about four miles below New Albany
in the middle Of the river, her engine was
stopped, in consequence OF some slight de-
rangement in a part of her machinary In
"A few moments, while the necessary re-
pairs were in progress, the boilers pXplo-
ded with terrific force, and with the most
fatal and awful effect Captain Dunham
represents the scene at This time as terrific
in the extreme. Such was the force 0i
the explosion that the entire upper works
OF the boat were blown away, and, togeth-
er, with several human beings hurled to a
greathe ghti the air. Although in the mid
die Of the stream, parts of the boat and her
machinery werebown on tbe, e,[ndiana shore
one man was thrown TO the height Of 80
feet, and came down with such force that
his dead body went through the pIank5 on
which it fell, The explosion was follow
ed by the most fearful shrieks and groans
from men, women and children
ttho time OF the explosion, the Gopher
was about two hundredyards distant. -
Captain Durham repaired to the spot with
all possible haste, and was the means Of
saving many lives. lie sent out his yaw.
three eFer6oard ropes to save those in the
water made his men swim to the rescue
OF the drowning, and with hooks recovered
some who had sank. Immediately after
the explosion, the atter-paH oft the boat
took fire, and she commenced sinking at
the bow, She went down in few min
utes, in twelve Or fifteen feet water, and
the fire burnt everything to the waters
edge. The books and papers were lost
and It will be utterIy lmpossbe Of course,
ever to ascertain the names or number OF
the Killed and lost. From the best ntOrma-
ton we have, we shoulI suppose that
there were probably fifty killed and mis-
