of exenuation that, as we did not say UhGt poet we

afraid of mob law and dissolved his connection with the

Dr. Hoge, of Brick Church notorety, is going or has
gone to bis dear sacred soil, and in sympathy with
traitors and in the arms of rebellion finds that comfort
and safety which he AYERS is denied him IN New-i ork'
The simple truth is this minister of the Gospel was
requested TO pray for the President Of the United States
in his public mnistratons which be fatty refused to do
and resigned.
PERHAPS il was not more Secessionsm than fear oil
variety in his pulpit services that the cause OF his
refusal as is declared by bis friends that lie has spent

the uprising of great people in defense OF the
Union Constitution, and enforcement Of the laws and
can only see in their patriotic efforts the Yankee Pur-
tan and Internal Abolitiouist.
We call the attention Of the public TO the fact that
the reverend gentleman has been treated with the ut
most and uniform kindness by the members of said
Churb excepting the polite request above referred TO-,
and has availed himself OF imSy pretexts to create
popular sympathy which, Of course, should not sur
