e in New Eng and? In what light are th'
t preachers Of the South Of every name re
: garded by their brethren of The North
Q Why with hardly the common. .decencies o
society, not 10 say kindnesses of brother
) hood. Does the Editor of the Star cove {
{ union of this kind with northern churches
II ne does, welcome be he TO his humility
and christian forbearance, and to all the
dignity and selfrespect with which they
invest him. And if his North Carolinian
Oracle is of the same "spirit," then as Paul
did TO Peter, when he found him trimming
between two branches of the primitive
church, we are ready to loithStand him to
his face, because he IS to be blamed.
The Star correctly interprets our COM
mission, and when we preach, we endeavor
10 follow it 10 the letter: though we verify
believe that If ever there was time when
a minister Of the gospel would be justified
in preaching resistance to northern interler-
ence with southern institutions, this is that
time; when the northern pupIts Of every
name, are sending forth anathemas
against the South, and justi(yng a most
glarng infraction OF the Constitution, by
in(uriaIed mObs Of negroes and fanatics.
To preach resistance to such wretches,
would be 10 preach obedience TO law and
the arrest Of anarchy. To preach the obli-
cations of truth upon those numerous as
sembies, legislative and popular, who
have vowed in the face of heaven and the
world that they would not submit to further
aggrcssons from these desperadOes, we
are not sure, but that such preaching would
at this time be allowable; but in our
sacred Office we are no; disposed 10 tread
upon doubtful ground and therefore We
never touch them ip,!tIhie pulpit.
Il seems that a statement which we
made upon The authority of four or five
papers, is disputed by the Memphis Eagle,
and the Star. with terrific solemnity holds
US 10 a strict accountability for our want of
respect to tho edicts of that august Journal.
We assure the Star, that we were pro.
rouny ignorant Of the exalted prerogatives
Of the Memphis Eagle. We did not know
hat is word was decisive of al matters OF I
history, OF we should certainly have enquir
I'd Of il whether we were at liberty TO be-
eve any other Journal but it, before we I
made our statement, Now that we are '
,euer instructed, we would most humbly
enquire Of the Memphis Eagle, through the |.
