by such work our beloved country Is on the
verge of ruin. Thousands have been thrown
out Of employment, money matters have be-
come dsranged everywhere, and an kinds Of

Does this preaching Of abolitionism do any

than this9 Are there any new shining lights in
these political abolition churches2 Is the lam
lily altar erected any otener than it was before
this preaching OF aboli,iOni>m commenced?-
Have the communicants Of these different abo-
li,ion political churches made any better pro-

did before this political abolition preaching
commenced2 is the work Of grace more ex-
teusive or more earnest than 1t was in 1852
Did John Calvin, Martin Luther or John Wes-
ley, the original founders Of. nearly all onr
churct es preach political abolition sermens?-
Thank God, they did not Are these reveren i.
ed political abolition stumpers, of the present
day better men than they were? Have they as
much piety, zeal or knowledge as those pure
and shining lights ofchristiaui'y had2 Iftbey

Abolition stump preaching from the sacred
pulpit is q nuisanre, and should be ahated We
have laws for the abatement of nuisances, and
This is o dangerous nuisance that the people
have the power to abate. gyou favor the
preaching in the pulpit Of political abolitrnism,
go and hear it; If you 40 not, stay away from
all such churches. Political aboli ion sermons
are not preached to '.empty benchis.' % The
i demagogue that breaches them, universally
4 does so on some extra occasion, when he has Q
I large congregation to listen to him. No minis
Ter who turns his pulpit INTO political aho'i
ition rostr,m deserves respect ful hearing =
4 When he commences to deliver his abolition
i leff,,sions, put}on your hat and leave. 1t ia .
|ct rtaih remedy. As long as you sit and listen
to aim, he Is vain enoushto think that you he.
Fiieye all he says AWhenyou leave it gives him
y sudden check that he does not get over. Nc
man in acting the demagosue fails to have the
blush brought to his check when he receives q
lgenteel rebuke. ~9t s9 D@a '''-'.N ''"
But thank God. brighter day is downing
on the country Political abolition sermons ar,
not paeached with the same ease they were slz
months ago. The great leader ofpreachng po

J ce,ved by such men al he from mobbing hin

Z ing. The want OF bread to thousands Of poo,
e starving souls, has shown them where they

i. hunger and want begins 10 stare them in The

who have deceived them. 1t would be wrong
ITO molest any one, but hunger makes inen dc
that which they would not do, when there is
