POLITICAL PREACHERS.

The democratic press in every section of the Union are
administering wholesome advice to the political
preachers in connexion with the signal rebuke which they
have recently received at the hands of the people The
Bridgeport Comm Farmer says:
No does have the respect for minister

himself strictly to the duties imposed upon him in the Bible
The ipunctions that sacred volume very explicit

mand preach the Gospel, and the Gospel only very
clearly laid down. But the course pursued by some who
occupy pupits in this city is entirely different They seem
that they understand their business better than the
great Head of the Church. their They faer
themselves that they do but is the wish of sincere
follower of Christ that they preach their modern theology in
other location. In opinion all the corruption in
of present day has been the work of political
parsons"
The Cincinnati Enquirer remarks
"The political pulpit has received merited rebuke at
