FROM the LOUISVILLE Demoetat of June IA, '49.
To the Rec. w. l.. Breekinridge:-In an ar
ticle published in the Louisville Democrat, some
time since, over your name. without any quail
hcation, you use the following language: 81 am
democrat;" and at Brunerstown, June ID, In
your speech you stated you were Ieffersonian
democrat, without Qualifying it in any way
The serpent in the garden Of Eden used Ian
gusge that deceived and beguiled old mother
Eve. Your language has had the effect, wheth-
er so intended or not, TO deceive and beguile
democrats into a belief that you are a democrat
a. contradisIlnguished from whig; when IL is a
fact notorious 10 those who know you, that you
are whig, Henry Clay whig, and quite a Bit
ter whig, as parties are at present divided. Mr..
Clay might say, and with as much truth as
yourself, am a democrat, Jeffersonian DEM
ocraI, but he could not deceive or beguile the
democrats Of the present day. He is known to
the whole public as whig. You are only
known as a whig within certain circles. Now,
Hsk, is it fair, is it honest, for you, minister
| of the gospel, to deceive democrats for the pur-
pose Of gaining political credit amongst theml
But, sir, will not the effect Of your using lam
guage unbecoming your situation destroy your
political credit as well as nlure your usefulness
as preacher Of the gospel Of the meek and
truthful Jesus, in whom there was neither de-
| ceit nor guilel When ministers Of the gospel
enter the arena Of politics, and play the dema-
gogue, it is strong evidence that they are aim
| ing at political power, TO connect Church and
State, and to form the politics Of the country TO
accord with the opinions Of the churches; TO
prescribe al politicians who do not act in ac-
cordance with their views; to rear up in our
| legislative halls, as is the case in England, a
right reverend bench Of bishops, to have the
lords spiritual to control the lords temporal.
In Louisville, some years ago, We saw the
effect Of church power in arranging a process
sion Of the Sunday school children. The Pres
byterians stood at the head of il in the person
OF my old friend, Abijah Bayless. They resolv-
ed TO prescribe all children, as not worthy to
join the procession, who did not belong to what
they conceived TO be the evangelical Sunday
schools. In that prescription the children Of
the Cstcholic aud the Campbellite Sunday
schools were not considered orthodox-were moi
of the evangelical Sunday schools.
But, sir, were the colonisation part Of any o
the emancipation schemes yet proposed practi'
cable-and do not think il is--can benevolent
Christians for a moment think Of forcing Ken
lucky negroes, who, TO use the language Of Mr.
Clay to Mr.. Mendenhall, are well fed and clad
look sleek and healthy, to Liberia, perfec
slaughter-house; where neither the horse, COW
nor hog prospers; where grain or grass will no
grow; where the poor immigrant has to live oil
rice, sweet potatoes, and roots; where th'
draught animal will not survive; where the sol
can only be cultivated with the hoe; where I
