FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 81, 1871:


The pu]pits Of Chicago resounded yes
terday with brave and patriotic words
which went straight home to the awaken
cd consciences and quickened apprchen-
sions Of their hearers. 1.-THE War; was
the theme, aud Of course the causes Of it
were discussed. The Influences Of Human
Slavery upon the past and present of our
country were deliberately discussed; and
truths, that rarely find utterance within
some Of our consecrsted walls, were boldly
uttered and IN many places loudly ap-
plauded. The War seems TO have looseued
the tongues Of priests and prophets; to
have opened mems minds to the apprehen-
sion Of moral and political truths; tohsve
electrified the hearts of our co1nhymen
with new love tor human liberty and the
everlasting law Of God. We judge from
the history Of the day that the Republic is
going back to the impulses a1d convictions
Of more patriotic era; and that, before
the war is brought to close, the Religion
aud Theology of the land will have eman-
c;nated themselves from the rule of Cotton
and Commerce, and that the Atheism
The parent Of all evils-that justides the
selling Of men, Ike beasts in the market,
place, will have been buried in the same
grave with the divine right of Bishops and
Kings. Alone, OF all the journals in the
city, the preachers Of the necessity o1
liberty to the enslayed, as the basis o1
permanent peace, the ground work Of fu
ture prosperity, the little to the favor o
Heaven and the good will Of man, we ART
thankful for the clerical aid which the oh
