AZ NORTHERN pARsoN.

The Northern abolition parsons are all out in fierce
denunciation of the decision of the Supreme Courtof
the United States in the bred Scott case They preach
politics instead of Christ and him crucied. They in
cucate lessons of persecution instead of lessons OF
charity They invoke the demon of dscord instead OF
the angel of peace Instead Of preaching loyalty to
law, they preach disoyalty to all laws that do not
coincide with their anatcal views Instead OF being
true followers of the meek and lowly Jesus, they
foment disturbances, engender stres and stimulate
hatreds Instead of pouring oil upon the troubled
waters, they add fresh fuel to the raging flames.
A great proportion of Northern clergymen
being of this class, it is no wonder that vice,
immortality and infidelity, agrarianism crime and
all the pestiferous isms of the age have developed
themselves there to an extent that betokens an
omnous future--a fearful future-the awful sha-
dow of which already looms up at no very re-
mote distance. Preaching and practcing disobe-
dience to the regularly constituted authorities of the
confedeacy, and prosecuting and plunderng the peo
pie of the South whenever opportunity presents ITSELF
how long time do they think (if they ever Think
will eapse before the toling millions Of their densely
populated communities will become imbued with the
idea that practice should commence at home the occa-
sional robbery of the Southern people atfordng no
relief to their real or supposed wants! II stealing
from us is right the plumber Of their palatal resi-
dences be scrong If breaking all faith and violating
all laws with us be proper, the breaking of home
faith and the violation of home laws be considered
improper the part of their aboring and overworked
multitudes? The fanatics would do well to think of
these things before tanning the powerful breeze now
prevailing into resistess tornado.
Among the Northern parsons who have particularly
distinguished themselves by the ferociy of their de-
nunciations Of the Supreme Court the laws of the
land, and slavery generally is the Rev. Dr. Cheever
of New York. The reverend gentleman has delivered
two discourses on the subject and both of them liter
ally overfowed with venom and gall proving him
to be, to all intents and purposes, thief of the
livery of heaven stolen for the purpose of serving
the Devil.
/ The last discourse was delivered in the Church of
the Purtans' on the 22d inst We use the report of
the hamngue, as furnished by the New York Express,
Of the 23d We would like to publish the whole report
but have not ROOM Therefore we are constrained to
content ourselves with such extracts as will correctly
show the animus of the entire production.
After enouncing the decision in the bitterest TERMS
setting forth the doctrine of the higher law in IN
mistakable language and after justiying resistance
to such decisions and the laws on which they are
based, the Reverend Doctor proceeds to say:
1t is the punish rebellion
oppression or treason, bat to repeal their own laws.
But who is to define g the duty of government 2"
The Constitution of the Confederacy Congress, the
Executive, the Supreme Court created by the Consti
tuition, or abolitionsts like Dr. Cheever? Evidently
DR.. Cheever thinks that the Constitution the Con-
gress, the Executive and the Supreme Court have
nothing at all to with the matter but that its deter
mnaton belongs solely and exclusively to evdisposed
fanatics like himself. And as this doesn't happen to
be the case, he vents his spleen remorselessly all
around. What hell upon earth these men would
create if they only had their own way
In continuation DIR. Cheever says:
The observing any law that evil is niquitous

We have now extracted enough from the reverend
preachers infamous nvectye to give our readers
surfeit of disgust, and will therefore close.
But before closing we will present portrait of
ministers like Dr. Cheever, mned by great artist

/" Course of Time" and reads as follows:

Amounted by the hands of Sin and Death
