Among the heterogeneous allies which pic
bald Republicanism enlisted in support of it
reasonable cause, in various quarters of tn
State, during the late campaign, were a bant
- of false priests-men who "stole the livery O
x heaven to serve the devil in" The religion,
~-sentimcnt=oft the country was brazenly and i'm
n Piously invoked to aid a cause, the success OF
~ which can only result in the utter subversior
Gasef our Institutions, and of all law and order
and in plnnging the country into the untold
horrors of CIVIL WAR. These p~artizan priests
So : should at once adopt the pirates flag, for the
kts.oL success of the %nefarious schemes of their po-
dist olitical leaders would be the signal for a Revo-

tho late campaign, not only in our own cobn-

80 This same band of fanatics and traitors meet
in Chicago on tomorrow and the day follow
.5sik ing to carry forward their crusade against the
81 9 very Constitution and laws which shield them
az in-their wiokedhess. This Chicago movement
has reference, of course, to the caIpaign of
9s5b 1860 Its object is to inaugufate BuRLINa-
NJ dAME's antissla&efy god-anti-slavery bible and
81 anti slavery Constitution, in opposition to the
empire of the Prince of Peace, and to the SUI
.ft bremacy of the Constitution and Laws of the
ea1 country. We hereby notify these gentlemen
97ai an this due season, that so far as we are con-
ccrned, they will not only have " the politi-
,rax clans luck" but that they will only succeed
10 asin achieving the traitors place on the pages of
ndi their ~country's history. Some of the Church.

Gardens, and the pulpits were desecrated by
certain of these prestly mountebanks during
the hte campaign-traEersng the county, and
as9Ai preaching treason and rebellion day after day,
80 Sundays not excepted. We forbear names

80 Let US not be misunderstood. We fully and
7za freely recognize the right of every clergyman
aE to the elective franchise. We believe that it t
IS his duty, as it is of every other citizen, to I
exercise this right. We believe that it is the q
A-4c .-..- a ---f \
cars Christian and patriot, to vote the Democratic |
p tickct;Ibut We can readily pardon any ofthat
class who do not sec their political duties as I
We see them. 1t cannot be expected of them |
that they can give that time to political inves- II
ai tigitions that will enable them to see clearly
their path OF duty. Hence if they vote against I
us, it does not diminish our confidence in their !:
Sas5nssgrity, or impair their usefulness in their .
high calling. And when we find a clerical y
2 friend-andt thank heaven there are many such l.
Who is a good National Democrat, and inter =
ssted in the success of the Democratic party, -
& NE would protest against his bringing his poll :
i. sizes iate the pulpit. There is a place for the :"

but they are aa abeminstion under the same :,

I'D To the credit of the resident clergy CT our !,
own town, it must be said-and we say it with =
pride and thankfulness-that they have not "
" soiled their sacerdotal robes by intermeddling
in politics. They voted, we hope-bnt h6,g 81
they voted, is no business of ours, and we "
shall never inquire. They are responsible to :
their Con and their country-the same as any ~
other elector-for the way in which they dis "a
charged this duty. But to the honor of each Isl
and ali Of them be it said, their pulpits were "
.aot used by any of themselves as "stumps," al

some was sadly abused Oe
