Nebraska Theology"

=
proprate caption the New York Journal Of
Commerce introduces the beginning Of
late fanatical sermon of the Rev. II. w.
Beecher, at his own church at Brooklyn, on
q Sabbath evening not long since. The Rev.
mailman throws off all disguise and boldly
avows that he "dont mean to talk religion
when he means politics." and he discusses
the Nebraska question as '.polttical one,
which has forced its way into the sanctua-
ry." For his text he quotes from Kings
the story of Ahab's robbing Naboth of his
vineyard; story of which the New York
Journal of Commerce remarks, ga Southern
clergyman, who should preach on the sub
ject, would be very apt to apply TO the at
tempt of the North, in its numbers and pride
to deprive the South of its share in the CON-
mon territery. The following passages
from the Reverend Minister'S sermons are
so gross and monstrous-as devoid Of all
christian charity, justice and kindly feeling
so atrociously hostile to the Union,whos
dismemberment the speaker avows he would
hail with fiendish delight--that we give them
in full:
ministers know good deal about neu-
trail depravity; good deal about the devil
as they see it exhibited in men; it is wheel
within wheel; they not only have devil
inside of them, but they have devil inside
of that devil At the North we have found
the touch which turns everything to gold-
The State makes everything Of her men, and
they make everything Of their State. At
the South they have no creative means of
power. Their sons never work; they are
officers in the Navy; they are, therefore, OBJ
liged TO have political power. The South is
like a broken down merchant that won't fail.
They complain that they are abused; they
demand division of the power which the
North creates alone. This is the story of
non Intervention. 1t is lie, from begin
ming to end. How many times will you be
deceived? Again and again God has brougl I
this to the bar to be decided, is it right or
wrong; and it has never been settled vet on
the ground of justice tothe slave. The men
Of the North must love liberty from the pre-
JUDGES of their education, and as they grow
older, this enthusiams becomes principle
The men of the North-not the politicians
exclude them forever from the benefit OF
the clergy say the men of the North did
not so much disagree with me about thi.
Compromise of 1850. sincerely believe
there never was anything eonjured up which
made the devil rub his hands and feel Sc
happy, as the Compromise which caught
ministers, and politicians, and Abolitionists
and Pro-Slavery men, and all parties and
classes in this country. 1t was like the
sheet let down from Heaven before Peter
on which there was all manner of unelear
meat. The iron was heated red hot in bel
and thrust into as; and now il has been heat
ed again.
There were once two deacons in churcl
and the subject of building new churcl
came up. Each was SO much determined
on his own side Of the question, that til,
worthy pastor, fearing quarrel, preached
a sermon on neutral forbearance. The
were very much struck with this, and tn,
next day one called on other saying: 1T il
too bad toquarrel about this; it should no

This is what the South says to the North,s'
that we may have the blessing Of peace. Or
