PRECEPT AND PRACTICE.
Tell me not of ga-bled sermons
Elegance of thought and style,
Heard from out your modern pulpits,
Man from error to beguile.
Eloquence may charm the fancy,
Summon an admiring crowd,
Who surround the gifted preacher
With their praises long and loud;
But If Gods appointed servants
Would their hearers conscience reach,
Leading them to paths Of wisdom,
The: must practice what they preach.

The Lawrence Republican on Mr. Parrot,

a more appalling picture Of corruption and
reckless debaucheTy can hardly be conceived,
than Is this moment presented By the Oficiallife
Of majority Of the ofice-hOlders in the United
States. Politics has become a trade-a game
lmpudont trlcksters, without fixed principles
political eharlatans, with small brains, but
great sleight OF hand,-un blushing debauchees,
reeklng with pollution, -cOrruptionistsw who traf-
nc IN their own and Others votes, crowd them
selves into every position of honor and profit,
and, through the prostitution of partizan ma
chinery, force themselves upon an unwilling
people ascandidates for every office.
The Republican party of Kansas owes it to
itseit and TO Its principles TO utterly repudiate
ana dlso1n this whole class Of leeches and para
sites. The Free-State party ruined itself, and
had well nigh ruined the cause, by attempting
TO carry the crushing load of DRU SKEN oANDI-
DATES and llcentiOus leaders. The strength of
the Republican party in Kansas is with that class
9fmen who will not tolerate such candidates, nor
follow such leaders. The sooner this fact comes
to be realized the better. There are nOp in
our parry men seekig 10 be candidates for offices
oI ht0h and respoRsible trust whose personal
character ought to forever preclude them from
any ONCE of honor or trust,--meR Of reckless and
d'sstpdted morals, diss0iute, ABANDONED. DRUNK
EE, II the Republican party shall blindly and
Tiltully make such men its standard bearers,-
snail thus deliberately insult and trample under
loot the moral sense Of community, it will be
most shamefully and ANONYMOUSLY defeated,
ana 0dH deserve to be.--RepUbticdn. June 3Oth.
