ANOTHER POLITICAL CLERGYMAN FAIJr,

ANOTHER POLITICAL CLERGYMAN FALLEN. -One after another of the political clergy of the country are being exposed and are falling from grace. The last case we have to record IS from the Celina (Mercer county, Ohio,) Stand ard of the 3d inst, which says that the Rev. Wesley Brock, who is one of the loundest back republicans in the northwest, an old min ster and recent presiding elder of the district, has been guilty of the crime of seduction, and that the lady whom he has ruined has con- menced legal proceedings against him. The Standard, in noticing the matter says:
 "We do not give publicity to this debasing crime of MT. Brock with any intention of in- turing the church. Far from it. Our synlpa- thies have always been with the denomination of which he has been a.leading, but now fallen star. But we have always thought, and still believe, that as long as the church permits its preachers to dabble in politics to the neglect of their religious duties, it is shining against itself in not silencing the renegades immed lately.
