THOU SHALT NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS.

Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, through the columns of the
Independent in speaking of Kansas outrages makes the
following statement
See what slavery demands Of all ministers who come
within its sphere Nothing short Of entire acquescence in
system ordained of God win satisfy the present feel
ings OF the advocates Of slavery Mere silence to the
construed opposition and ministers of all denomi
acknowledgements, Methodist EpscopAian, Baptist
treated with personal insult and
violence because they will not endorse the system Of slavery
and yindicate it from the Word Of God"
To the testimony Of this political brawler and dema
gogue viii oppose that Of Bishop Kemper Of the Eps
copal diocese Of Wisconsin Speaking Of Kansas, this
venerable divine says Any quiet and orderly person
STAKEHOLDER or non-saveholder reside there without
the least moestaton and this know Of my personal
knowledge and observation" New York paper adds
Bishop Kemper bear in mind, is northern man, bred
and born in Connecticut The bishop said he kindly
ceived epcryhss, and by Of Oh parties When they
asked him his political opinions he told them that he
there preach the Gospel and NEEDLE with politics
either side : and OF both parties took him by tn,
hand thanked him. and told him that all they Uantsd
he siHessed NJ act Of Uioicaoe chile there.
We dare say the personal standing Of Bishop Kcmper
at least good that Of Rev Mr. Beeoher For ourselves
we free say, think II Is something better How
can the Independent reconcile It's wicked statement with
that OF the Bishop Of Wisconsin 2"
