Mr. EDIroR,-In casting my eyes over
the Albany Weekly Argus Of the 10Th inst
| noticed an article taken from the Spirit of
the Age and headed Remuneration from
the right quarter purpons to have
been written by one Reu, Aaron b. kius.
man. profcsscd follower and minister Of
the Gospel Of Christ
II is not strange that man who aspires
to the dignity of Rec. and claims to be a
leader OF other men and yet, whose want
of stability renders it impossible for him to
hold for any length of time to any one re-
gious creed, who is everything by turns,
and nothing long'-l say il is not strange
tina, such man, should occasionally find
his political coat a rather tight fit and feel
disposed to shed that also, and cast off old
and lircsome political associates and friends
If man chooses to become n weather
cock either in Politics or Religion, or
both-surelv it is his own business and |
do no, feel disposed to question his right to
do So But where n man leaves the win
yard of his Lord and Master, enters the po-
iitcal field to assail the character of others,
and brings his Req. cognomen with him to
give himself character which we of the
fold do not possess do insist upon the
right of onquiring whether he has so hon
ored his clerical tile, as to give him any
additional crcdi, for honesty, sincerity or
stability over those who do not write Rec
to their names. Who, ask, is this cleri
