Last spring it may be remembered, that bis house
was burned down, and with il the old familiar oh

A new Religion.

ssBrohers, let us have American liberty and A
merican religion ''-SpeecA o{ Hou. K. R1g3tcr, in
hnoar- r-Nohiiag Co4rr@hon.
The religion Of Christ used TO be considered good
enough for Americans, although it did originate in
foreign land But that was when people were sim
pie enough to credit its teachings, and believed that
something good could come out of Nazareth.-
4 new religion, it seems, is now wanted, 10 keep
pace with the lights Of Know Nothinsism. II
it is 10 be purely American, though it must be eth
er Mormonsm or M,llerism; for these are the only
religions of American growth that we know Of
Which one our K. \. brethren will choose, is yet
uncertain. But, certainly, by all means, let them
have san American relgion''-lor there is nothing
in the Christian religion which sanctions their pro-
scriptive and intoierant purposes.
''Let us in PENNSYLVANIA, manage our local
and State politics the interests Of the locality
and the State may require. y Ertract from Bill
