what we're they? What shall we do? Shut
up the ice cream saloons and commence
stealing niggers. 1t will certainly be news
to our citizens that the "ice cream which
our fiiend "Sam" serves up TO us these
warm evenings is leading US to destruction.

wiekedness in giving US good ice cream,
we think his character will not suffer in
comparison with the Rev. Fiudley himself
or any Of the sbolitionists Of the day. But

And this is called Sermon playing

But Christians must do their duty
they must do what is right and abstain from
that which is wrong" s, should all -
But As CHRISTIANS. must they medlle with
all political concerns? As christians must
they take action upon the question of Banks,
Taxation, Internal improvements, &c?--
These are political questions. But every
political action is either right or wrong Nnw
the Rev. gentleman says that as christians,
they must take one side of every question
which involves right and wrong. There
fore ''as christians" the must array them
selves either for or ag inst this or that baak
law-this or that tax law, and SO on for
every civil question. But such humbug-
gerry is too transparent. As ciH;eus Of or
common country, they attend to these no.
tyes. As cajgeas, they decide what is right
or wrong in civil affairs and act accordingly.
Every CITIZEN, parson. priest jaw, gentle,
or what rot, has a right to discuss const.
tutional and political questions, and he is
bound as a citizen to d. what he believes 10
be right in the premises. And after having
performed what he co onceiyed to be his duty
as citizen, he goes to church on the Sab
bath TO hear the gospel, but instead Of that
he frequently hears an iyinerant priest, hired
by some abolition corporation, roaring on
political questions slandering the home
ofhis fathers. blackering the memory of the
dead and Illuminating foul anathenies
against the Patriots Of the Revolution.
Are our pulpits to be used for such pur
poses? Is the campaign commenced and
is it tr e conducted in this manner? ii
the priests are to turn politicians this fall,
let them come out and take the stump fairly
Let them not take the Sabbllh for il, and
coop themselves up in the pu ulpit, SO that
they may send forth their heresies without
contradiction. But if they must take the
Sabbath for it an opportunity should be Civ
EN- for statement on the otherside. Well
we suppose the enemy have a right TO chose
their weapons. The speculation in "Sharp's
rifles" not producing the desired effects,
they have concIaded to divert portion Of
the funds 70 hire peddling disenioniets "in
sheePs clothing"
with smooth dissimuIa ton traend
TO hldea DEVILS purpose with an angels face"
TO scatter sedition and dist niou broad cast
throughout the churches cfthe land. But
we doubt very much whether the pulpits
will be given for such purpose. We shall
see. We have indeed efallen upon evil
times" and 1t behoves the friends of the
constitution and the utSon, TO remember the
faithful saying that. Eternal vigilence is
the price Of liberty"
