The Now York Young Mems Christian Association has
been divided by the introduction of the slavery question
and large number of the members have withdrawn in.
cuding many ccrgymen AS there is slavery in New
York, think the question might well have been g
nored. P,orideace JcFao.
This il the Journals doctrine now but what was 1t
six months ago Then The slavery question was carried
into almost every religious association in Rhode Island
and committees Of the republican party invited ministers
of the Gospel to preach upon the subject and to urge
their hearers TO vote for John G. Fremont Did the
Journal offer word Of protest. Did il say that there
slavery In Rhode Island, the question might
well be ignoredi On the contrary, did il not publish
column upon column urging these Christian organizations
into the field and justifyng slavery discussions in the
pulpit Did it not encourage Mr. Kcen, Mr. Lvesey,
Mr. Ball. and Others to leave the care Of souls for the
of votes
But the churches are reapng the bitter fruits Of
this political warfare Many of them are divided and
disheartened. Many of the ministers including those we
have named who particularly bitter in their dcnun
citation of democrats, have removed to other fields OF
labor, while not few of those who remain preaching
to empty pews and bare walls. And the Journal
discovers that the slavery question might well
have been ignored II 1t might have been by the New
York Young Mems Christian Association of II
might have been by the Providence churches. But 1t
WASH and the Journals party know mty it wasn't
One Christian minister IN this city told us the story OF
his He did not want to medde viii, politics
but the pressure upon him great from the repub
lican party that he could not resist it, The republican
committee that waited upon him embraced influential
members of his own church, and they urged that he
would preach slavery before the eec
ton. He yielded and, relying upon the New York
Tribune and Providence journal for his facts guilty
Of saying what many of his hearers knew to be untrue
Another Clergyman who called upon declared that he
,oopd preach in favor of Mr. Fremont or against Mr.
Buchanan. He was told that the people demanded H.
and that no clergyman who resisted the appeal would be
likely to be retained in the city He Is still retained but
there was loud and earnest talk Of removing him before
the election
There Is no slavery in New York, says the Journal
80 there is in Rhode Island But the political ccr
gymcn and the republican newspapers told us there would
be slavery in both of these States if Buchanan elect
