The Relation OF Jesus 10 PubiicanS and Sin.
nrrs and of the North 10 Slavery,

| BvNDYsBURGu, March 81, 1852
DEAR MARrus have held two meeting.
here on the relation of the political parties oil
the north to slavery, and cndeavorins to show
them that Free Soilcrs, 50 far as membership
Of tho Union is concerned, are in the same 20
siton as Wings and Democrats. They all have
| formed an alliance with shareholders to estab-
lish justice and secure liberty, on the principle
that Tie majority shall rule, all plcdging their
power in favor of tyrants, and against liberty.
A methodist whig stood forth to save the I'm
ion. How; Not only nt tho expense of the
Itlavc, by the sacrifice of liberty, but at the cx.
pcnse of Jesus, whom he processes to regard
vinur, his God manifest in the iicsh he coolly
offers up on the alter of the Union. How;
lie insisted that the Northern Wings, Dem
ocrats and Frce-Soicrs enter into Union
same motives, on the same terms and condi-
tions, and for the same ends that Christ min
glcd with pubhcans and sinners. Behold,
then, Jesus, joining publicans and sinners, and
giving them power in his kingdom in proper
ton to the number Of sins, and plcdging him
self to protect them in their sins, in order to
get access to them to win them from the COM
mission Of all sin, and to bind them to a pure
.ilc. The newest version of salvation by Christ
is, that he cstccms men and accords TO them
power and influence in his kingdom according
to the number and atrocity of their sirs To
save them from sin, he swcars to them protcc-
ton in the commission of the most fragrant
crimes Thus Frcc-Snilcrs seek to save slave
holders; they offer them power and influence
in the government according to the number Of
against all efforts Of their victims to right their
wrongs or to free themselves from outrage.
This is the new gospel of salvation, recently
discovered by American politicians, The Bal
box is the power of God and the wisdom
Of God unto salvation, according to my Meth
odist- Wing opponent, for he denounced all who
did not use it as cyphTs-Jesus of Nazareth as
we'll rs all Others said they were all
4" "doaoAingj. To give to man " honor glo-
ry, power and dominion in proportion to the
expressions, rapcs, robbcrcs and murders they
can pcrpetratc upon the innocent and helpless,
is the way, the truth and life to mankind
So say Frcc-Socrs, and make Jcliere they arc
Anti Slavery Wings and Democrats.
What think you, Marius. of this new rcla-
tion; said to my opponent, "if Jesus were
here could he, consistently with the spirit and
principles of his life, be president of the Re-
public;" "No, - was the answer in subs
tancc, Gle would take himself away. -
Then, said l if they come for you to fill that
office, you protesting to follow him, you must
take yourself away, and never vote for another
to an Office, it is sin for you to fill. Come
ont and be scpcratc. NO UNION WITH
SHAREHOLDERS.

p. S. have recently held eight meetings
in Bainbridgc, two of them discussions with
Mr., Kent, Frce.Soil Diciplc. The following
was the main point involved, Do those who
vote mder the constitution, vote for iti Mr.,
Kent insisted they did not, yet he said the great
object of voting was to elect agents to execute |
the constitution in all its parts, and that the |
president and congressman were the mere
agents of the voters, and that they were re-
sponsiblc for their acts when they did not
the constitution. lie too insisted
that the Ballot-box is the only hope of the world
to abolish slavery and rescue liberty the only
blood of atonoment to save world from op-
preston. This alone can bruise the head of
the serpent, slavery. Yet this very Mr. Kent
talks of Christ as the worlds only saviour
from sin. Mere political christians are queer
beings. In one breath they cry " Great is the
Ballot-box, " and in thenext, " Great is Jesus"
To the Ballot they say, "Thino is the honor,
glory and power, then to Jesus, "Thne is
the kingdom and glory" So they so.
