Political Desperxdoes-A New Plot Of
the Negro Worshippers.
History informs US that Cromwell COM
nis,ed his enormi,ies in THE Name Of
God. Some of the Republican leaders
are now springing their reasonable de-
signs upon the liberties Of this Union in
the name Of Love for the Negro"
With prayer upon their lips for the
safo;, Of our Country. in their hearts they
hope for It's downfall. The crushing blow
that thousands aadcd giant--the PEO-
PLE--dealt their wild schemes last No.
vsmber. seems to have lashed them into
new fury. RESISTANCE to decree of
the highest Tribunal of ths land. is now
their wstchword. Desperate as they were
during the late Presidential canvass. we
did not suppose they would ever dare to in

tioas. and know we'll that their own hateful
sentiments can bring them No power un-

Because the Supreme Court gave deci.
sion averse 10 their distorted views Of JUS
tice. they assail its judgment. Their pre-
tended love for the Negro forms all their
political capital. From his back they hope
yet to leap into power. Fiiiins represen-
ts;ives of that por.ioI of their party IN
Boston, who refused to contribute money
to release dying while man imprisoned
for debt in that ci y. but on the same day
raised $3.50 to purchase the freedom Of

II is much to be regretted that even
some Of the Clergy at the East. have been
induced to join in this crusade against the
decision of the Supreme Court in the case
Of bred Scott. Instead Of preaching the
mild and beautiful Religion Of our Savior,
and striving TO lead sinners to Repentance,
they cast away their Bibles--buckle on
the political armor-and turn their pulpits
into political rostrums--preacaing Rests
tence to the Laws. on the Sabbath. and loud
lr applauiing that base sentiment of Gar

OF course. there are many Of the CIR
at the East and elsewhere. who. while they
maintain their undoub,ed right to exercise
such political judgment as their conscience
dictates. unhcsi;afingly censure this pros,i
iu:ioa Of their sacred calling to such bass
purposes. and jus ly fear that it will prove
a stumbling block to the wicked,--a tri
umph for the Inf lei!
