Theology and Patriotism.

Tho great religious organizations have been
holding their annual assemblies in various parts
Of the country. Their proceedings, with few
exceptions, chow not only the entire absence
of all sympathy with the slave, but most fra
ternal union with the master, and most disgust
ing subscrviency to the piratcal government
and kidnapping dcmogogues of the country.
Daniel Webster addressed the citizens of
Goston in Fancuil Hall. One part of the gal
lcry, on the occasion, was appropriated TO the
ladies, and another to the members of the
Hfcthbdst Conference, which has just closed
its labors, after session of thirty days. A scs-
sion, characterized as tho Bishop informed them
at its close, with unexnmplcd harmony. Yes,
with "tho sum of all yillancs" nourished in her
bosom, there were none found to agitatc or op-
earth filed with violence and wrong, but n
sword. This sword of truth, to be welded
against sin the Methodist Conference has dis
carded, and she can now cry peace, peace, and
boast Of her unity with Shareholders. On the
occasion referred to, they received the reward of
their treachcry, in words of commondation and
Aattery from Webster, the traitor to liberty and
to God-Fathcr TO the Fugitive law. The fat
.ery was duly honorcd, by the spontaneous up.
rising of the whole body of divincs May
traitors ever lie compelled to satisfy themselves
with reciprocal hattery, as their only reward.
The New School General Assembly of the
Presbyterian Church, in Washington, has been
equally fortunate in securing the aprobation of
Shareholders. They visited in body the tomb
Of Washington, uncovered their reverend heads
in its presence, and resolved that each member
would contribute one dollar, for the purchase of
block Of marble for his monument, Most
striking is their resemblance to their prcdoccs-
sors in the days of Jesus, who built and adorned
the tombs of dead prophets but stoned and
crucifed the living ones, who came to them
with the faithful messages of truth.
The Baltimore Sun, tostiAes in their favor.
1t says, Z" it is the only body which has settled
the question of slavery, without a division."--
Though this is not exactly true, yet it is no
fault of tho Assembly, that it is not They
would long ago have settled it, that slavery
should continue without molostation, had it
been in their power TO do so. They deseyre
tho damning compliment for their good will and
their efforts, if not for what they have accom- :
plished. 1t is equivalent to saying that among
all the members of the Assembly, there were
none who had perception to discover the cnor-
nifty of slavery, or seeing it, had enough of
conscience or courage, to oppose il. They de-
serve the Shareholders compliment, and We arc
glad they have got it.
We have not seen that any particular marks
of favor have been bestowed upon tho Old
School Assembly, which met at Charleston
The Carolinians are chary of bcstowing their
honors. Yet if sycophancy and time serving
can win, these reverends will have them vet.
Indeed, it is honor enough now for Northener
to visit Charleston and return without Inch
ing. 1t is conclusive evidence either of tho
absence of all regard, for general liberty, or of
the presence of sufficient duplicity to conceal
IL, from the most suspicious and careful scrut-
ny. AS these Presbyterian Doctors are armed
ut both these points, they have subjected them
selves to no danger by their southern visir, even
If they have failed to receive as hearty compli-
ments as they may have desired.
