A Daniel Come TO Judgment.
We clip the following from the last Republican,
over the signature of ]. S. NJ, and we wish all
our readers would get the paper, and read the
whole article. We feel like asking pardon, too
for the Recommendation, to read such dull thing,
but our excuse is, that the thing is so exceeding
lyfat as to be really funny:
Judge Righteous Judgment.
Mn. EDITOR :--The following we take from
the Sentinel of the 25th ult., transferred by the
Editor from the Carrolton Democrat, no doubt be.
cause he fully endorses the sentiment. We wish
to notice it briefly: 1LL
We have seen in the papers number of ex-
posures since the election placing political cler-
gymen in their proper light =
Among the rest the Rev. Mr.. KoLLAcH, of
Boston, who exhausted his denuncation on the
Democratic party, and electioneered from the
pulpit for Fremont was caught in hotel in Cam
bridge, with young married lady of his congre-
cation, for whom he took a room with himself,
passing her as his wife.
Incur county, the Rev Mr.. BARCLAY, Sece-
der minister Of Norristown, who showered holy
wrath upon the Democracy in the last Campaign
has got himself into a nice box with young Ia
DIV Of that vicinity. He will be tried at the next
term of Common Pleas-commencing on the 23d
inst, for seduction. Guard against these wolves
in sheep's clothing! Shun Black Republican
preachers as you would the devil Their words
are lies, and their touch pollution. - Ca7olton
Democrat.
The above comes before us, not merely in the
light of ne,vs It includes comments and the
circumstance narrated, was evidently related to
afford an occasion for comment. The Democrat
tells the story in order to gl0at over it, and the
Sentinel clips because he likes it.
j. s. NJ continues to remark
/, That the publication of the above, by the
Democrat and the clipping of it by the Sentinel
was bdselg slanderous. If there is such thing
as SANDER, to take up uncertain rumor, put it in
the Press, spread it broad cast over the land and
comment upon it in such terms as to give it an air
Of certainty, and even brand it as an indelble
stigma upon large and respectable class, is SIAN
der, We may SANDER our neighbor, and be ad-
judged slanlerers in law, when we circulate an
injurious report, eUen aotee true, but which we
cannot prove. We slander when we give undue
publicity to true report prejudcial to our neigh
boris good name. Now the case was not yet is
sued, and for aught the Editors knew was false.
But had it been true, its publication was unne
ceS ;ary. But apart from this, by no ie-
gitinate rules OF construction, can the misfor.
tune and crime Of one man be charged upon
whole mass who repudiate it? We know Editors
like Poets claim kind of license but we pro-
test against any license on the part of any to lie
and sttader.
This j. s. M. we suppose, is one Of those who
during the last Campaign, turned the pulpit into
apolitical rostrum, and threatened with fearful
punishment, all those who should be so terribly
wicked as to cast their votes for JAMES BUcHAN-
An. Our reason for supposing so is, that we do
not believe that any one but a Black Republican
phpit brlwler c)ul, or would write any thing
so perfectly sWy We have always thought, and
this article strengthens our belief that ministers
who neglect their proper calling and turn poll-
ticians, are in general, the most ignorant, as well
as the most rascally and corrupt class in christen
dom. Those who have an exalted opinion Of the
preachers of Black Repablicansm, would hard,
ly suppose that one of them would use such terms
and call such names as "sanderer " I" liar !"
"atheist, ""swearer, dumb dog " "inidel, {"
"howler, f" " illustfious blockhead +" Fine terms
truly Bad enough to be used by wicked Dem
ocratic Editors, who, as the writer says, have a
kind Of license. :" But to be used by a minister,
who makes the word Of GoD his study" and
above all, by Seceder minister Horrible 1t
will be seen that certain ministers q y are not
much slower in the use of blingsgate, - than
we poor Editors. But this is the natural effect
Of political pulpit preaching Political subjects
are generally exciting ones, and by preaching on
them any length of time, the minister is apt to
lose his taste for the more pure and legitimate
duties Of his calling. We think it is so with j.
s. NJ. During the Compaign he was at no loss
for exciting topics, upon which to harrangue his
hearers, furnished by Kansas lies, and humbug.

Butnow the election is over, and the awful ca
lanity which ]. s NJ. was trying so hard to
prevent, has fallen upon the country--JAs. BU-
cHANAN is President of the United States. The
excitement has now subsidized, and we have no
doubt that ordinary preaching, is to him, and
perhaps to some Of his hearers, "dullness."--
Being of parts so bright that he could prepare
a sermon in ono day out Of the six, by way Of
amusement and recreation in the mean time he

preaching. and we suppose that, from the great

lastic air, and orderly arrangement into firstly,
secondly and lastly, it was intended as text book
containing all the 'saw and testimony" for the
use Of sOcaser political preachers. He thinks no

his new field but If it should turn out, on the
contrary, that he has made q .ooasumnsdte ass of
