on the Sabbath and going to hear hereto
explain text from a bible which is not in
accordance with the authorized Roman cath
olic edition? He will not confess any sin
Why? Because he would laugh at the idea
that he went to hear clergyman of the NJ
f. Church explain the word Of God; he
went prompted by a curiosity to hear-to
see-how ar evangelical denomination would
permit an INSCRIPTIONS, brawling stump
orator to deseerate the day and the house.
Many of the respectable and truly piouS
members Of that church, conceded in opin-
ion with Neville, and would not sanction
by their presence, the appearance of such a
character IN their Pulpit.
Political preachers have been a constant
theme for anlmadversion by many of those
who composed that heterogeneous congrega-

They have even left church during SER
mon when minister against whom even
they themselves would not dare impute any
want of moral character, or any derelction
from the demeanor of a christian Clergyman,
had made some slight allusion TO the crime of
slavery, yet those same persons will at a
brawling political meeting give out an ap-
pointment for the orator of that meeting to
preach, to morrow, one, too, whose christian
deportement is wide open to every grave
censure; they will go and with sparkling
eyes and mouth agape, listen to him, con-
scious of his precarious standing, eloquently
plead that we should all forget and forgive
each others infirmities, for to morrow we are
but food for worms.

were present, would hesitate to pronoun ce

Baltimore, he voted for Douglas and voted
for him all the time. That he owed all he
was and all he had, to the Democratic par

time, never told so much truth before in his
life. After stating that there would be

nounced that the meeting now adjourn
