ANOTHER SUNDAY STAMPEDE.

The Rev. A Corey. pastor of the Baptist Church
in Fifth Avenue, in this city, has recently received
similar compliment to that which paid.
short time since to the Rev. Mr.. Tying of Phila-
delpha, and which paid good while ago to
another person, when whole herd Of creatures
went over high precipice into the sea. Mr.. Corey
in his discourse on a recent Sunday evening, used
the following language, which is given re1batim
in The Independent.
"But, while association has its advantages, it
its evils too. In association, man loses his indi-
viduality. His opinions, his actions, must square
with the opinions, the actions of the party. He
cannot think for hmself-he cannot act for him
self; the platform must think for him, must act
for him Out upon this God made man to think
for himself, and not to be simply splinter in q
platform of opinion.
Is he a man who dares not think upon the bloody
drama enacted in border territory, who
dare not demur to the slaughter upon its virgin
soil of the Of New England, who with their
families have gone there to make themselves homesf
Is he man who knowing these things and think
! ing upon them, dare not Speak? And is it not
high time that ministers should speak out, when
the sanctty of vows is to be trifed with in the
manner it has been and we plunged into worse
than civil war? l claim the right a citizen and
as minister Of the gospel to express my mind,
and 10 hope that the tide of opinion that is now
| flowing towards freedom Of speech and freedom of
conscience may prove TeSiStieSS, and that the time
may yet come when freemen, white and black, may
live on either side Of Mason's and Dizon's line 7"
Such language has clearly nothing to do with
any Of the sins committed in Judea eighteen hum
dred years ago, and therefore four members of Mr..
Coreys congregation, shocked at such ii timed and
misplaced preaching, Immediately rose and left
