Is It Consistent 2

Here is the declaration of Methodist Preacher, one who pretends to preach Christianity, and follower of the meek and lowly Jesus" Though his vindictive, tyrannical, abusive, and unwarranted spirit, does not outstrip some of the same sort nearer home, we seldom see them having the boldness. or the audacty to utter such sentiments in so public way. But, he is a preacher, and that Gin his es- ,imation,) gives him the privilege of de- parting from the precepts and example of our Savior. His teachings were not of this kind. The world is often trampled on and nsulled by upstart power holders, and the very fact of their position deters men from resisting their usurpation. It IS high time that Americans, who owe all to the resistance they made against tyran. ny and oppression, to again resist this petty ou,lawing, which might grow to formidable influence. The following is from w. c. Brownlow, who has many in the land to ape him but few to equal him. We only publish il to show the Christian CD principle involved If such men ever thought they were called to preach the Gospel, they were mistaken, and will some day receive their reckoning"
 And while we will not support Black Republican, under any conceivable circum- stances, We shall regard his triumph over the Democratic nominee, as a righteous retribu- tion, ordained by God! Nay, we will go further, and be still more emphatic, that no one subscribing for our paper, may mistake our views and position. If we were standing upon the very brink of eternity, and saw this whole Democratic party CROSSING OVER HELL ON A ROTTEN RAIL, and had it in our power to throw over safe way, we should refuse to do it, from religious convictions of our obi- gations to the country, and to principles of morality and integrity!"
 We clip the foregoing from the Cam den &afe Rights Eagie, and fully endorse all that is said relative 10 that class of men q who wear the livery of heaven to do the work of the devil
 The following from the same w. c. Brownlow, has appeared in professediy nsutral papers published near by us.
 Parson Brownlow Is seeking restoration of his health at Virginia Springs. He has almost entirely lost his voice, but he says he intends to raise it against Locofocoism as long as he can, and when he can nc longer speak, he intends to make MOUTHS AT THE RASCAL LY CONCERN" hA
 v Now these same papers are published in counties largely democratic, and are sustained and kept alive by the patronage of those they abuse and traduce. We know of one instance where sheriff, who was elected as a democrat, has be- slowed all his patronage upon concern that is owned and controlled by an ac- knowledged Know Nothing - one who run for office under the banner of that party. He also opposed the election of the sheriff aforesaid, but has enjoyed all the profits and benefits the said sheriff could bestow upon him, since the election. Let the people beware of these men, they will prove thorn in the side of the de- mocracy, now hencefor,h and forever.- JAMES K. PeLR never made "a more truhthful remark than that ia sheriff pos sesses more influence, politically and otherwise than any other officer in coun- ty." Let the democracy beware of these two-sided friends. They are always anxious to obtain democratic votes, but take good care to bestow thcir pecuniary fayors on neutral papers especially those who have Opposition proclivities. Save  us from such friends. aafssN
