speak the will OF the Almighty. concerning the
Nebraska bIl!. We copy portion of the pro-
ceedings OF the Association:
Ertrat from 1Ee Minutes of the Session; He'd at
WarlCiet, June and s, 1854.
'Tour committee having examined the CORES
Pondence OF sister associations, and finding aliuson
made to the celebrated protest OF the clergy of
New England, recommend the adoption of the
following:
Whereas, The assertion has been very extern
sivey circulated that the ministers of all the re-
hglous denominations in the Northern States have
united in protesting against some of the enact
ments of our National Legislature we deem it
due to ourselves as an association of churches pro-
tesslng the religion OF our Lord Jesus Christ to
say, that as citizens, our members possess an in
alIenable right to petition for or demonstrate
against any legislative enactment which they
may believe to be calculated to promote the well
fare or eudanger the peace OF our country: vet as
subjects OF King who declares that his kingdom
Is not OF this world, we entirely disc!aim anv
WlSh as Such to interfere with the political fairs
OF our nation, and utterly repudiate all fellow
ship with those who impouslY assume to protest
IN the name oi the Almighty God against the pas
sage OF laws for the organization of territorial
government. or other purposes. and in His name
to illuminate anathemas against the representa-
tives of the people i'll the discharge of their official
duties. And We regard the assumption that any
body OF men divinely instructed to sitin iudg-
ment upon all questions of moral and religious
nature as one which. il recognized by the people.
is calculated to destroy every vestage of civ il aud
religious freedom, and PROSTATE all the institu.
tions OF our land at the feet OF an irresponsible
and arrogant priesthood
1t was resolved that a copy of the minutes be
