LamCntabIe,

The editor of Zon's Herald, the principal Methodist
paper IN New England makes the following frank con
tession. 1t looks bad-very bad, and will hereafter
look worse. We have no heart for comments When
an influential religious press can look upon such war
-waged for such purposes and not write one syla-
Bile" about it lest it should offend political partizans it
is time to think Maine Standard
We have never written one syllable in the paper, a
bout the present war with Mexico We have our sen
timens on the subject, and have an unquestonablt
right to maintain them and express them under proper
circumstances; but religious organ, representing
the ecclesiastical interest of section of the church
which includes all political parties we have no liberty
to discuss the subject and have cautiously avoided any
ground of prejudice, so far comments it con
cerned.

damages would be recovered. The state of South
