THE CHURCH AND THE CLERGY.

They are chained 10 The car of the past. They are
ever looking back; talking about how good somebody
else has been; but never think Of praclIciog the good
they pretend SO much TO admire in others, OF Of pro.
crossing onward To something better. They have ev-
er been The mos, virulent opposers Of reform. Reform
wIth them is ~iui4eIiy. TO transcend The past is ia
natcism. TO seek The overthrow of great systems ol
wrong is innovation. or rather dls1rganiziIlon. They
have no time TO take care OF the Interests Of humunl
ty-to labor as benefactors Of the race. They have
enough TO do TO take care Of themselves and maIntalr
their position. They cry "Peace, peace, when there
is no peace" The purity Of the church they are no
concerned about, So its peace be not disturbed, Alas
what kind of peace is that which feels continual dis
trust tina: their institutions will be overlhrown2 Tina
they will not Withstand The "fre of lhought"--or in
vesligalion of their principles? Where is their conf

founded in TruIh2 Storms and tempesls the com
bined powers of earth-"the gates Of hell shall no

COM E.OUTISM.

The Rev. Mr.. Errel, on Sunday last preached a ser.
mon in New-Lisbon, denounciDg the Abolitionists as
infdels. and warning the people against going to hear
them. Mr.. Errett, we believe, is a member and min
lister of the Disciple or CampbellIte church; he also
has a brother, editor of The Washington Patriot wash
ington, Pa } who wds a member of the same sect, but
found it SO infdel 10 the first principles of Christiani-
ty that he has withdrawn from il, and in an editorial
article which is too long 10 transfer 10 our columns,
gives his reasons for SO doing. The concluding para
graph is as follows
"For thirteen years have we been connected
with The body Of Disciples, and have spent many hap
ply hours in their communion. But this silent acqui-
escence in The heresies Of The Ilarbinger, on the sub
ct of slavery, and their unwillngness TO take even
the first step in opposition 10 the monster wrong of the
country, has brought us TO The determination, long
cherished, 10 withdraw1from all connection with such
a body. We cannot resist The command 10 come out
Hereafter we will hold communion with no church
that in any way lolerates slavery or Shareholders, aud
does not go 10 the iar,hesi limit in opposing the 'mer'
chandise in slaves and souls Of men,"

sition, as much 30 as wing, democratic, or colonization
ground. And furthermore, we believe that it we could in.
nocently swear to support it, our mingling in the strife Of
the political arena, instead ofgiving us increased str ength
would greatly weaken, fit did not eventually destroy our
moral power; SO that we are compelled to regard the bal
bt-box under present circumstances as a sinful agency, and
under all possible circumstance as inefficient for the promo
tion ola moral enterprise.
Ifthe advocates Of Liberty party are right, ire are griev-
ously in the wrong, i FIVE are right, oh! how fearfully have
tey erred. 1t behooves us all then as good and true men
to inquire whether Liberty party or Disunionists occupy
the true ground; we are ready for discussion, we court in
vestigation. Though we may be called upon to make great
sacrifices for the Right and True, let us prove by our ac-
tons that though we love not Cesar Jess, we love Rome
the nlore.-+

we r~epudipte. Therefore ifthere are Globs and riots

"THE PEOPLE ARE NOT PREPARED FOR
SUCH DOCTRINE"

Well friend, if you think your doctrine is true, this in
stead of being a reason why you should refrain from
preaching it, is one Of The best reasons why you should
preach it, and preach it continually, so that the people by
having line upon line and precept upon precept, here a
little and there a little, may become prepared for its prac-
teal adoption.
Jesus came not to call the righteous, bu. sinners to re.
pentance: and all who hope TO be successful reformers must
preach as Jesus did, not to the whole, who have no need
OF a physician, but to those who are SO sick that they care
not prepared for the doctrines of truth. The Temper
ance lecturer breaches to the gutter d%runkards, who, in
common parlancC, ''are not prepared for their cold wa
ter doctrines. The advocate of Peace goes to those who
are clothed with the spirit of war, who "are not prepared
to adopt his non-resistance principle; while the Anti.sla.
very agitation blows his Ougle blast in the ears of a pro.
slavery church and a slaveholding government; all Of
them acting upon the common sense principle of applying
the remedy to the spot where the disease is seated, and we
consider those who are least prepared, as the world calls
it, for the reception of thorough-going, ultra-radlcal, anti
slavery doctrine, the very ones who most need that it
should be poured out upon them in true gospel measure,
without stint and with a willing hand.

INCONSISTENCY.

How apt are people to overlook those magnificent
crimes committed in high places, while they Jealous.
by the friendless and homeless. They will fellowship
and embrace vice when clothed in robes, but shrink
from it with holy horror when cloathed in rags. Gid
ed vilany is honored, while ragged villiany is impris-
onedo or hung.
If, man s,eala loaf OF bread for his starving babes

child of its father, walks abroad in pomp and splen

"coME AND E US REASON TOGETHER

Some one has said that he who will not reason is a big
OF, he who dares not is a slave, and he who cannot | $ a fool.
The man who is conscious he has truth on his side fears
not Investigation, but he whose deeds are evil dreads.-
No wonder that the pick pocket with the stolen purse in
his possession protests against being searched; no wonder
that the ~plunderer joins in The cry of stop the thief, hop
ing thereby to divert the attention of the people from him
self, and fix their suspicious upon an innocent nan; no
wonuer that the clergy and the politician when they find
their iniquity about to be exposed, raise the mad dog CRY
of "intidel' and ''traitor' against those who dare tn
speak the truth of their conduct all are actuated by the
same motive-seE preservation for it is as true now as in
the days when the farmer-poet of Scotland wrote,
"That name ever fear that the truth should be tauld,
But they wham the truth wad indite."
Reader, are you a bigot, a slave, or a fool! it is be to hop
ed that you are neither, but that you will freely exercise
the intellect which God gave you, and do with your fell
lows as he invited you to do with him when he said, "Come
let us reason together"

PUT THIS AND THAT TOGETHER.

"To the perpetuaiion Of slavery on the earth, IN
any form, We should be sorry to contribute, either di
rectly or indirectly. While we regard it as entirely
defensible on the moral and religious principles of
the Gospel, ire still look on it as an erI Of great
magnitude, which we cannot but hope, will sooner or

approach OF reform is to skulk into the "coward's castle, "
the puIpit) and cry out "lnfdel, Infdel." There they
bid defiance to any one to question what they say. Or if
any one dare do SO he is seized by pious hands and dragged
out. They cannot stand the light offree discussio on. They
fear their robes of diuiniiy ard sanctity will be torn of and
reveal to all the people their vileness and hideousness-
hence they cry. "Put out the light, Put out the light"
Humanity shrinks for deliveronce from such v~ultures and
cormorants." t.

TRUTH

1t is like a two edged sword. IT can no more be
spoken plainly and faithfully in times of error and
wickedness, without producing agitation, Than can The
furious hurricane sweep over the ocean without ruff
ling or scitating the waters. This has been verified
in all ages OF tine world. Mrs. Child says, ''this agi-
lation is tho thunder and lighteniD ing that is necessary
10 purify the moral atmosphere" There is true phi.
