rrt,en article, such as appears in the
n.noerot Of yesterday under the above ntie'
- ,lwsys have a reply. We agree wi'n
..iohbor that it is better to keep politics
"a religion separate; that the tarif and
hank questions have nothing to do with the.
ology; but at the same time when these ana
inbred questions are not in the canvass and
a, whole contest turns upon a religious
,,o.,on. whether the sin Of slavery shall be
tended over territory otherwise free, then
Il, duty of the pulpit to let its voice be
heard in opposition to the extension OF MS
30, to,ded sin. We would not have the
.ini,,er Of God descend into the arena OF
Drawing politicians" nor to center INTO .
-.as ,aains, an institution which cannot
!. ,h,noed.n but we would have him to lift
:, Il. voice and to use his influence against
,ss sur ad Of 80 soul destroying a sin as thai
,f,.ysrv. As u minister OF God it is his
tuly to combat every vice that seeks to over
throw Inc kingdom of God and just in pro-
nortion as tina, vice becomes fearful in the
i.nl should his influence be used. In the
language of the Independent, it Is a naked
question Of right or wrong, Elm has bobby
,.ksn the aggressive and presses Its
Ultimate conclusions upon us without dis
gg Sc, and il is the bounden duty for the min
,s,er of God, a. the teacher OF righteousness,
70 seize tie sin and ii ne cannot huri it back
ii leas, .tay its communicating influence.
The rsscher Of the gospel should be In the
van Of The religious contest and not allow u
10 be handled solely by an abandoned and
gdles, people. These are our sentiments
in brief, and we feel thu every good man
win respond 10 their truth.

THE DRIED SCOTT CASE.

1t will be recollected that the bred Scott
case, which was before the Supreme Court at
its las session, was reported to have cccasoned
the Development of sectional feelings upon the
Bench A decision was postponed, and this
session the case has again been argued before
the 8 me tribunal, by Montgomery Blair, of this
city, md George P. Curtis, of Boston, for Scott,
the paintiff, who snes for his freedom, and by
Mr.. Feyer, of Missouri, aud Reverdy johnson,
of Maryland, for the defendant
Mr. Blair opened the case in luminous ar.
gume1t on the 18th, and was followed, on the
10th and 18th, by Messrs. Geyer and johnson.
On tie 18th the argument was closed by him
fFnd his associate; Mr.. Curtis, and the care
was hen committed 10 the Court, whose decision
maYnot be rendered till near the close of the
Session.
Ibe questions argued were Is the fire..
colofd man a citizen Of the United States {?
Doetthe temporary residence Of master with
his iave in free State work emancipation !?
Is tlh prohibition of Slavery by act of Congress.
especially is the Missouri Compromise, consti.
tutiolal?
LIS not probable, We repeat, that the Court
will Venture to decide the principal questions.
Its ehberations have been protracted, but so
far ss newspaper rumors are to be credited,
by a means harmonious.
By the way, we have heard high commenda
ton bestowed upon the ability and courage
with which Mr.. Blair, from the beginning. has
conducted this difficult case. Indeed, the ar
guments on both sides appear to have be
made with signal ability.
