POLITICAL PREACHING.

New York is q great place. Since the famous
+ 4 higher law discussion Of 1850, men there
have been unable to draw the line between poll
tics and theology, and have almost used them as
synonyms. The Nebraska bill, after having
been discussed in Congress and the press, was
taken into the pulpit and found to sttraot more
interest and attention than the old fashioned
doctrinal discourses. The Arctic disaster was
used in the same way in the same way the
Maine Law and the Abolition meetings If the
fashionable clergymen of New York, who go to
Nahant and Newport in July and return to their
posts at the opening of the opera season, con-
Time as they have commenced, politics and re-
lgion will be practically allied.
"a farmer in this millennial era can hear his
pastor preach Sunday morning discourse on
guano, and broker in the afternoon listen to
an essay on thu currency. Indeed, the period
we speak Of has almost, If not altogether, ar
rived. The Albany Atlas says that the Rev.
Washington Van zandt preached Clark and
Raymond instead Of Christ crucified in his pal
pit, the day before election y but says that
was not 30 bad g as the preacher who traversed
Schoharie county proclaiming that Governor
Seymour YVES Papist and had one Of his dangh-
tiers in q Nunneryl"
The editor waxing wroth, because the theology
did not square with his own poll preferences,
gives the following advice, which we think is as
applicable to Wings as Democrats for there
can be no doubt if Clark and Raymond took the
place Of Christ cruoifed in some pulpits, Sey-
mour squeezed salvation out of others:
Our advice Ia that when such men rise In the pupit
and SO far destroy its sacredness denonoe by name
such men as Governor Seymour and other leading Demo
crafts and to cast false aspersons upon them the Demo-
Gratis in the congregation should rise In their seats and
hood sEg5 '9
There other way than this If the Church is to be
turned into political meeting let the congregation
either have notice. as to stay away let them have
their full rght of debate discussion as well az the
spendiares OF party who throw out these political chal
lenges from the pulpit Y |
There is story current in the papers lust
now Of an honest old clergyman, who, being
asked to advocate from his desk some Of the new |
fashioned, reformatory isms that would ally
themselves to religion, fatty refused, saying
g When you hired me it was to preach religion,
nov it'srum and niggers WON'T do it.''
Isn't there lesson in the old pastors refusal
that some modern sprigs Of theology might do
well to ponder'
