chose to "proclaim Liberty to the earth and al
tho inhabitants thereof, he listened to BY al
the patriots. Ii Van Ingen arose 10 the sacred
desk talked foggish and absurd about preserving
the s'Union" between the colonies and the mother
country, and prated of slaw and order'' while the
bayonets Of Hutchinson and Gage were ct the
throats of the people to enforce the cruel edicts
of King George the Third the loyalists and tories
applauded, just az the some idea" upholders of
worse tyranny in st. Paul will now applaud any
reverend mental of Slavery who essays to disobey
his Master in far to use his influence to weld
the chains of bondage, instead Of doing the oppo-
site, as commanded by that Holy Master.
We are therefore upholders Of Free Speech in
the st Paul Pulpit, rs well as everywhere else !;
and will defend the pr0priety of DIR. Van Ingen's
Slavery harangue of Sunday night week, as readily
as we would Mr.. Tyng's noble voice for Freedom
in the Philadelphia pulpit. We have no doubt
the Doctor is honest--just as honest as any Amer
lean 'subiect'' of King George who preached
against the Declaration of independence in '76 !;
therefore he and his friends have right to be
heard in our columns, or any other EDITORS col
umns--at least at this stage of the new revolution.
Our correspondent, in his zeal to censure the
editor of the Times for entertaining but some
idea," forgets that he himself, as we'll rs his
clerical friend, are precisely in the same predic-
amcnt. The worthy Doctors discourse, according
to the showing Of his apologist above was strong
ly condemnatory of the political action of those
Of US who entertain the Zone idea" that Slavery
is sectional and Freedom national; those of us
who think we owe it to ourselves and posterity to
plant Freedom all over the broad domsins of the
West instead of Slavery; that it is better and
right to devote this fair portion of GODS foot
stool to the building up of Free Labor and Free
Homes than to curse it with Slave Labor and
Slave degradation. The Doctor embraces the
some idea" on the opposite side, and here the

unreasonable he and the Doctor are? Mr.. Tyng
breaches for Freedom--Dr. Van Ingen breaches
for Slavery. MIR. lying is ''ope idea'' man--Dr.
Van Ingen is man of broad views! Oh, Mr..
''M."; oh, DR.. Van lngen! What a wide differ
ence it makes when our bull cores your OK Mr..
Tying must be put down, you say, for preaching
Christs doctrine in favor Of s'breaking every fet-
ter' and ''setting the bondman free''; while our
worthy pastor Of st. Paul is to be extolled to the
seventh heaven for disobedience to the teachings
of his Savior, perhaps maje--Bishop Of Mn
nesOta Wise reasoning and ''faith'' for men of
''Oon idea,' and that idea human bondage in
opposition to human freedom!
We have all heard If the man who was an in
mate of Il lunatlc asylum, and imagined himself
the only sane individual in the world. The
world, he said, was crazy, and hence the reason
and the apologists for his late doughface dis
course. We who differ with them are crazy upon
the s. one idea' of establishing Freedom in the
Territories but ali they are marvelously r;,-
tional men! They hold to the IS one ideas of
substituting therein the eternal curse of Slavery
instead of the sacred boon of Freedom Mar
velously sane men with sc broad vews!'
"M." might as we'll have saved the ink he used
to inform US of what the Clergy and Bishops of
Virginia are doing. Perhaps they have taken
Gov. Wise's hint, and gone into the negro trading
and negro breeding business seeing that the VAL
ne of that 'sproperty" is to increase in that
State one hundred per cent, if Buchanan is
electe9 At all events they must save their
bread and butter," and that they cannot do in
Virginia without crawling on their bellies and
eating dirt at the bidding of the slave oigarchy.
The personal sneer at g Beecherisns'' is also
uncalled for. IT,, as appears from the tone of
EMS remarks. men here in Minnesota must
draw distinction between " Beecherism'' and
Van Ingen sm-aiias old fogy ou.hfacism-
there may be need of second Episcopal congre-
CATION in st. Paul ere long, with IL minister pos
sessng the free sentiments Of '16-such AN one.
for instance, as Mr.. Tying of Philadelphia. AT
all events, we 90 in strong for Beecherism in op-
position to Van Ingenism, upon this question Of
Freedom and Slavery.
