called Conscience, or local sentiment. The n

man protesting the spirit Of the gospel should
thus prostitute the sacred desk, The mini .terial
character AMI the house Of God.
A few years ago meeting Of ministers OF
the Methodist denomination was held in this
city, and the cons.it ltionality of a recent law
of Congress was discussed. All the clergy
with one escel ton, expressed their opinions
with great freedom, and decidedly in c3ndem-
nation of the law as fiagrantly in conflict with
the Constitution Of TIC United States. The
celebrated Or. DIN was present. man of ac-
kpowledged superiority in intellect. learning
and judgment, but he remained silent during
the discussion, until ne was personally CALI d
Upon for his opinion. Then he ,nodastly re-
marked: -.
Brethren have not directed my studies
especially to the Constitution of the United
States. The inter- rotation Of the Cons'it ltiol,
has been l:it to the Supreme Court. a body oil
iu.is's selected for their learning. wisdom. and
Judicial fitness to determine important ques-
ticns of this nature, and | should have ia,

1t will he readily imagined that these remarks
were felt by the clerical judges as a severe re-
bukc 70. the fippsnt otinions which they had
pronounced. And Tr. Olin's views may well
be commended to such preachers as Ir. Chez
YER. whpfeel themselves competent to promo nee
an opinion of the Supreme Court unconstau-

That, however. is merely question of mod.
esty. If he wishes 10 publish his Judgment. We
do not a prehend that the public viii quarrel

him for EN- Toying the Sunday and the sane
