THE ISSUE..--No. 4.

After longer interval than was intend
ed l resume the pen for the purpose of
considering which side of the present is
sue, as presented in my last, is the right
one for citizen of our nation to occupy
in political campaign Of the nature of
the ono now opening in this country.
And here it should be observed, this ques-
ton which now claims our attention is
not (Which is right for democratic"
nor " Which is right for republican to
occupy!" For all are citizens of the same
glorious republic, and all arc equally
bound together by the same ties of ma
tional patriotism; all are bound to obey
the same laws and to support the same
constitution. Therefore, what is right
for one is the duty of the other.
Many considerations might be present
ed as helps TO guide us in our researches
of the right on so important a subject as
the one before us, but few must suffice
for the present. And here il should be
borne in mind chat the constitution of the
United States Iolerates the institution of
slavery, and it could not be aUoided. AT
ter The revolutionary struggles were all
passed-afer the English government
had abandoned their claims on the colo
MES, and the treaty of peace was signed,
and America was proclaimed free and
Independent nation-when the leaders Of
the confoderacy were assembled to agree
on the articles of compact between the
several newly constituted States slavery
was here. And il was spread over much

Politics and Religion.

"Questions Of financial retrenchment, Of hon
esty in places of public trust, of policy in the
purely mercantile departments Of political econ
omy, Of internal improvements Of foreign di-
plomacy, these all arc nothing in comparison
with that great issue Of right and wrong which
the arrogant demands Of the slave power have
brought upon us. N. Y. Independent, 9Th"
The Independent is well known to be
one Of the most, perhaps the most VIC
lent sheet in its denunciations of slavery
in this country. It's zeal in this particu-
lar overrides the principles of common
law, political and individual rights, State
rights, and even tho constitution itself.
Conducted by the most powerful religious
writer's in many respects Of the present
day, peculiarly distinguished for force and
ability, it has acquired reputation that
has brought it to its preseneposition of
prosperity, and has been the means of
giving it the most extensive circulation in
this country Of any religious journal.
The more talented and powerful n journal
the greater its influence, and, of course,
the more TO be feared if the talent is mis-
directed. The names of CHEEvER,
BEEoHER, THOMPSON, and others, carry
such authority TO the minds Of many,
coupled with the universal respect and
reverence for religion and its ceremonies,
that whatever emanates from those men
is received and adopted as sound doctrine
without examination. 1t would seem
they were considered by some as of SUI
perior order Of misunderstanding
ADORE man and not liable to err. Hence
the danger of being led away. When
we realize they are men like ourselves,
subject TO temptations, living under the
same laws, amenable to the same laws,
bound TO abide by the same laws as other
citizens, we can then remember they are
only ministers, and do sometimes err.
Ministers have particular calling orpro-
fession, are designed and prepared for q
special work. This is SO generally under
stood that when minister enters active
ly into the political field he must expect
to receive criticisms and scourgings alike
with other politicians.
Notice the extract at the head of this
article, "Financial retrenchment honesty
an places Of public trust, internal i'm
provements, foreign diplomacy, are moth
ing compared with that great issue Of
right and wrong which tho arrogant do
mands Of the slave power have brought
upon us"

INTERPRETING WITH SLAVERY The
black republicans are all the while denying
that they intend to interfere with slavery
in the States. And yet SEWARD held
tho following language in his Lansing
speech
"Now, from the beginning of my exist
ence in politics, have seen this conflict,
and l have considered that my bounden
duty as patriot was TO see TO It, so far
as il depended upon my action, that every
new State should be free State, and TO
diminish slavery an the slave States so far
as, constitutionally, IL could be DONE"
If this is not interference with slavery
in the slave States then what is it,
SEWARD says he considers it his bounden
duty to diminish slavery in the slave
States. So did john BRowN.

Prohigacy, rascality, foreign war, civil
war, are nothing compared with that great
issue of right and wrong. Everything
must be subservient to the slavery ques-
ton. The evil must be removed thro'-
out the land. Pray for it at all times
and in all places, IN county conventions,
aud in churches. No matter what are
the means, they are sanctified by the end.
This is and has been the doctrine of the
Independent, religious journal virtual
ly preferring war, dishonesty, almost any
thing to slavery. Utterly regardless of
the laws of the land, it breaches, but fails
to practice the doctrines and teachings Of
the apostle Paul" Let every soul be
subject unto tho higher powers. For
there is no power but of God. Whose
ever, therefore, resisteth the power resis-
teth the ordinance of God, and thoy that
resist shall receive to themselves damna-
tion."
Instead of using lawful means, in q
lawful manner, relying upon the provi-
dencc of God to accomplish His own ends
in His own time and manner, tho hide
pendent would produce revolution at
once enrage brother against brother, and
one section against another, sunder tract
societies, bible societies, missionary socie-
ties, probably resulting in war and disso-
luton. 1t can not be denied that some
of these it has already been the means Of
accomplishing. 1t has been hostile to all
our national moral societies, seyering
some that were prosperous and united,
and sowing the seeds of discord among
others. 1t has done moro to produce an
unfriendly feeling between the Congrega-
tional and Presbyterian churches than all
other influences combined. 1t has been
the entering wedge in this respect and
has been strongly driven. 1t stands upon
the higher law ground. II is this over
riding the laws of the land that makes SC
much trouble. 1t was this disrespect fol
law in the garden Of Eden that brought
all this woe upon our race. "But Of The
tree Of knowledge of good and evil thor
shalt not eat of it." Says the Znde
pendent this was a divine command, {
diuine law-hunan laws are contrary t
the divine law. Says Paul, "The pow
ers that be are ordained of God" Slave
ry is here, it exists by local law, we abho
it, we believe it to be a curse, great evil
. but what shall We do? Point out rem
edy. We do not live in Carolina o
Mississippi. Then why should we be con
tinually harping about their affairs?
The influence religious political paper
of this stripe WELD is bad in another res
, pect. 1t lowers the standard of christian
ity-it destroys the respect for religion
If political appeals fill the editorial de
partment, the precedent is set, the author
ity is considered good, and not few pas
tors follow the example.
We therefore set it down rs a fixed fac
that no minister can identify himself wit
politics without detracting from the dig
nifty of his calling, lowering the standar
of religion, endangering the prosperity G
his church, disturbing the harmony of it
E members, and, in The end, destroy his ow
{ influence for doing good.

HEAET- RENDINa CALAMITY IN CHARLES
County, MARYLAND. We learn. from
private source, the particulars of a
most deplorablc event which occurred
on Friday last in Charles county, Nd,
on the Potomac river, between Cedar
Point and the light boat. Mr. Grant
Harris, most respectable and worthy
young gentleman, residing 10 the vicini-
ty of the shore, sometime since purchas-
ed sail-boat in this city, aud kept it on
the Potomac shore for the amusement Of
himself and friends Several weeks ago
the family was visited by Mr. Morgan
Harris and his two sisters Ursula and
Nanuie Harris. of Cincinnati, Ohio, all
related by family ties, and connected by
the warmest friendship.
On Friday morning, between 8 and
10 o'clock Grant Harris proposed TO sail
on the Potomac, and accordingly EN-
barked with his nephew, Morgan Harris,
and his two nieces, Ursula and Mamie
Grant Harris, who is said to have been
very skillful in the management of his
yacht, ventured out to the distance of
nearly half mile from the shore, with
out ballast, to where the water is above
40 feet deep, and runs rather wild and
treacherous. The ladies became alarmed,
and Grant Harris, laughingly, reproved
them. Finally, the yacht shipped some
water, at the sight of which the ladies
rose up, which unsettled the boat and a
gale striking her, she was capsized.
Now comes the most painful part of
the recital. Grant Harris chung to his
niece Ursula, while Morgan Harris
grasped his sister Mamie, and all strug-
gled to regain the boat. After going
down once, Ursula, who was rather stout,
relaxed hor hold on Grant Harris and
sank, followed by Grant and Mamie,
Morgan Harris alone remaining above
the voracious waters. He clung to the
boat, and was rescued by friends from
the shore, who were witnesses of the ter.
rible scene.
The bodies had not been found up tc
the hour of our latest information from
thatquarter, Saturday morning. though
the river was being dragged at every poin,
where there existed possibility of find
ing them.
The deceased we're aged as follows =
6raut Harris 26 years, Ursula u, Nam
ME 10 Both were highly accomplished
and much beloved.
The melancholy occurrence has spread
gloom over Charles county, such as
has not been witnessed for many years
