From ih,se few instances it will be seen what Is the

The religious press l. speaking ont as never before
Strong and unoompro missing and fearless have b"ea the
COMBINATIONS of the slave power and the .ubseryency
of the present Administration to ITS demanis MAJ nave
lately come from this quarter. The indPeaaen l"e Con-
grcgatonaiisf Tie Christian Inquirer, TIE Ctrtsta IN
Register The Trump,t and Universaist MrSas'ae Ihe
Christian Freeman The Christian AWbdsSld0r represent
ing the orthodox aud the liberal Christian sects OF the
Middle and New England States sending every week
thousands of Christian families the most earnest cnd
uncompromsng sentiments OF hostility and opposition Ia
the crime of ensaying men, and especially 10 the subuga
ton Of the free States and the vast Territories of eoun
try TO the purposes of savohodng and the ogarchy OF
Shareholders who control the administration of the
GOyernmen; at Washington.
Another Indication that the religious sentiment of the
country is aroused the character OF the resolutions tat
are now emanating from various religious bodies Inc
American Unitarian Association, az It's annual meeting tins
year. fer the first time departed from what has heretofore
been considered it, appropriate work aud Incorporated IN
its annual report a strong paragraph against ue UNI
righteous sui lection Of one race hy anoner, ana the
State Convention Of Unyersasts az Worcester few days
ago passed with great unanimv. series of stringent reso
buttons against the Nebraska niqutv, and the scenes OF
profanity and dissipation that attended ts passage through
Congress.
That the clergy Of the free States and the earnest
portion OF the Christian denominations are destined to
array the moral and religious sentiment OF the country
gains; the Institution OF Slavery is among the ceralnes
al the future and when this is accomplished We shall then
Lave basis OF AntS8gcry action that will be substantial
and enduring and the work OF progress will 20 on until
liberty shall be proclaimed 10 all the inhabitants OF the
" land.
