The Charleston Convention was opened
regularly with prayer. The following is an
extract from the prayer made By Rev. Thomas
d. SMITH on the 9th nit, day OF quarrel
ing in the Conrention-
I'VE pray. o God, thai Thou wilt be with
this Convention until it shall have closed its
sessions. and that Thou wilt oyerrule their
individual and differing views and bring
them 10 unity of counsel aud purpose. And
when Thou shalt have led them to a happy
and harmonious conclusion of their present
deliberations. secure to them union, cooperation.
energy, determination and triumphant success IN
that contested campaign through srtick they haze to
pass IN this great crisis Of the Republic"
Upon this the Richmond Wing comments
as follows
Now this prayer of the Rev. Mr.. Smith
for the ..triumphant success of the bogus De-
mocracy in the coming Presidential cam
paign is jast about equal, in point of taste
and piety, to the payers of Northern preach
ers for the .'triumphant success" OF Adolf
tionism: and the man who thus Tugs in party
spirit and party politics, even in bis prayers
to the Almighty, is unworthy of the sacred
Office OF minister of the Gospel. and unwor-
thy of the confidence and respect OF any por-
ton of the public. Indeed, the great evil oil
preachers to mingle politics with religion,
and the practice, of which they are becoming
SO universally guilty, should be drowned up
on and rtprohated by every man of piety
and patriotism in the land. With what pro-
priety can Southern men denounce the preach
| ers at the North, who preach Abolitionism
while Southern preachers prove themselves
as guilty of dabbling in politics as the
Northern, by praying for the triumphant
success; of Democracy?
We reverence the ministerial Office and re-
spect its ministers, while as meek, non-inter-
tering and pious men, they confine them
selves strictly to their legitimate duties. But
when preachers transcend the duties of their
Office, and violate the prophecies of the sta
ton, by praying for the ''success" of either
Aboltionism, or Democracy, or Whiggery
they necessarily lose all their legitimate in
fuence, and become, as they should do, OBJ
