Another Cause OF the present Ex.
citcInent aud Distracted COmdi-
tfon Of the Country. -- ..E
Some weeks since we gave as one Of the ecu !,
scs Of the present excitement and di trscted
condition Of Tho country. the many infamous
unconstitutional acts that had been passed by
republican legislatures against the people of
the South. But there are other causes for ths
present troubles that have been brought on the
country. Gre OF which has done as much if
not more towards causing the present distract
ed condition Of our nation than any other, and
that one is the manner in which large por
tion Of the pastors Of the Northern churches in
their pupits have abused stigmatzed and scan.
Idal'zed the people OF the Southern States. In
1851, when. We first became connected with this
paper political abolition sermon. was scarcely
ev, : heard of Hone was preached, its author
was universally considered TO he more of a fit
subject FOR some Luna &c Asylum than a min
lister OF 6 d'sFIoly Word, AT that time peace
and contentment reigned throughout the whole
country. State was not arrayed against State.
but people from all sections would meet togeth-
| er in one common brotherhood.
But this harmony did not please the base pn-
litical Office seeking demagonges Of the North
ern States. They were after office. To get it
was their sole aim, and it made no difference
to them how dishonorable the means used pro-
vided they obtained place. The larger portion
Of these demagcgues we're menrwho had united
themselves with some branch of the Christian
Church, to enable. them better ito wear the
| livery Of heaven to erve the devil in.v They
were great haiierers, ns all such men universal
| ly are; and their minister, who was generally
fresh from some college, whsre he had learned
nothing but the dead languages, and the Theo
logical views of the en-, mination 10 which he
was attached, was found to be FL subject for
their fattery. They would hypocritically tell
their minister, that "the system Of American
slavery was great sin against God, humanity,
Sc, and that they should preach IN their pul
Epits. against it," They would with Seeming
liberality present their pastors with scores Of
abolition, papers, hooks, &c., and insist on their
giving them careful perusal These young
men, and Sometimes old ones, found it to be la
borious work TO take Browns concordance and
thei, Bible, AID prepare their setmens for the
Sabbath. To opens,her Bibgesin their pulpit;
on the Sabbath day, and read some verse asa
ttext, and then branch cut onthe ideas they haf
learned from reading inidel abolition papers
and books, was much easier han 10 preach thu
Word Of God or Jesus and Him crucifsd.--

being the great object with large portion o
these Ministers, they BY degrees left off preach
ing What they were ordained to do, and turn
ed their pulpits into regular political aboltier
rostrnms. Even thrir Commpnion Tables, q
place which shpuld be above all others thu
most sacred in the worldly were polluted viii
regular political abolition demagouge lectures
Men who belonged to the Democratic party
and did not vote as these abolition politca
preachers and demagouge Office seekers wisl
them to, were told, that the communion tabl
was no place for them. .,s..,.s. 49,.
These ministers, like the common hief wolk
ed steal h'ly by degrees; and when they sup
posed their congregations had become aboli
tionzed, they. like the noon day burglar mad
their open attacks against their county, it
constitution and its laws. s.f a.. E5al.ag 2.
o. late years the Word of God is seldom
preached in grsat. number the Northern
churches. In its place we have he Lowest kim
Of abuse of our Southern cit zens. They an
compared to the worst kind Of thieves and rob
bers; and deprived in these churches OF partak
ing Of the embloms Of the 4"broken body ant
shed blood of our Lord and Saviour Jesu
Christ" And why is all this dene? Simply
10 make converts to the abolition republican
party. Some three, years since one OF thes
abolition political preachers wihed to be q can
didate ior an office He was riding round Wis
lifting his political friends. when he came
