sB Among all the periods Of the apostacy
the church has passed through, none can be cit
ed upon the page of history, which surpasses, in
unbiushing wickedness and blasphemy that pre-
sented by large portion of the clergy in the
rebellous States of this Union. With the meek,
law abiding example Of their Master and his
Apostles before them, they shamelessly rush in
to the political arena, uttering the coarse rlbad
ry against the government, and the vilest SIAN
ders against its chosen officers. He who could
call forth ten legions of angels to assist the
Jews in rebellion against a foreign government
said, "Render to Caesar the things which are
Caesar's;" but these wolves in sleeps clothing
desecrate the Sabbath by proclaiming falsehoods
and uttering curses against the kindest and
most benefcent government ever established on
earth, if we except that of Eden, He rebuked
the arrogating Scribes and Pharisees, who had
laid grievous burdens on mems backs which
themselves touched not with one OF their fin
gers; but they encourage usurpers and military
tyrants to levy the most enormous taxes, and to
drive good men into banishment for daring to
speak the truth.

ANXIOUS MOMENTS.

While: We write We are expecting the newi
that the first desperate fight Of tho campaign
has begun. For some days signs indicated that
it would not long be postponed. Troops wert
kept on the alert, tested by sham surprises. ant
moved cautiously forward upon the "S4cret
SOIL" The press, too, was the subject Of sin
gular change. The impending storm was like I
weight let down upon its usual spirit. It forgo
to be bsastfai and defiant and began to weigh
with sobriety the uncertainty and perils Of war
and some Of our contemporaries have gone sc
far a. to prepare the public mind for defeat
1t seems If We may trust these military scribes
that We have underrsted our foe, and are at q
disadvantage in regard to position and drill
We do not believe this, and deprecste any en-
deavor to discourage the spirit of the people.
We have a General whose tact is indisputable,
and who has been left to himself in view Of his
last and great campaign. IL it to be supposed for
q moment, that he would leave himself ignorant
Of the number, character, and position Of his
foes or that he would advance without sufficient
means when this Union is ut stakes We incline
to the conviction that as in recent skirmishes,
80 in this anticipated general engagement, vic.
tory will side with our banners. Let the people
keep heart and appeal to Him who defends the
right. Every gun fred speaks the knell Of des-
potism, every fash of the sword cuts a bond as
under. Should We be doomed to hear that our
hosts have failed in the day of battle, like the
other reverses of our fortune, it will only rouse
to q fercer antagonsm and entail finally upon
our adversaries more complete destruction.-
But We do not question the issue, we only ask
that this oppressive and all but insuferable sus.
pense may quickly be broken by the shouts of
battle and the messages of victory.

The CrIttenden Compromise.

A very large number of the people of the Border
States, now acting with the straghtout Submissions
lists, assert that they viii accept of nothingess than
the CR1rrENDEN Amendments as basis of adjust
ment To shcw all such how utterly futile it is to
expect that we will be permitted to remain in the
Union By consenting to that concession of South
ern Rights, we make the following extract from q
lengthy editorial from Thursdays Cincinnati Com
zaercidL:
The Crittendeu Compromise is an impossibility,
and those who insist upon it as the only escape
from disunion, are annihilat;pg the last hope of
saving the Union. The Republican party is on the
eve of becoming the Administration party. The
necessity thai it should take an affirmative and
ciliatory position is recognized by all ts statesman
like leaders and reasoning masses. The nearly
two million votes cast for its candidate for the Pres
idency, meant precisely this: That the General Gov
ernuent should longer be the implement of the sl7Ue-
ry propagandists and employed their political
poorer. This is simply what the election Of Mr..
Lincoln means. Those who voted for Mr.. Lincoln
cannot consent that his election shall be made q
pretext for the amendment of the Constitution, so
IS 20 defeat the very pose they had in voting for

We have given this letter al due consideration,
and whilst admitting the importance Of harmony in
our action, We cannot accept that harmony at the
expense Of our conviction Of right and duty. We
frankly admit that We have the utmost confidence in
the Commissioners from Virginia, Kentucky, and
Tennessee about to assemble at Washington. We
look with the most intense interest 10 the result of
their deliberations and if they should deem further
attempts towards adjustment of our difficulties
visionary and useless, or if they agreed upon

the proposition, We should feel deeply grieved at
such result. Our confidence in the future would
be greatly Impaired, and we should consult ear
nestly with the border slave States so to make
some other united effort for the salvation Of the Union
or common destiny scih the Whos South. We cannot,
however agree to pledge ourselves in either event
to pursue the course you have indicated. In the
event of our election we shall be but the representa-
tves of our people, and if we can ascertain their
Judgment in the contingencies above referred to,
must obey their wishes resign, and cannot an
ticipate their action Furthermore, we would not
now be willing to make suggestions cases of
this character and then give pledges, which could
not be recalled, that we would act in particular
manner. Itmay be that the contingencies referred
to in your letter might arise, and yet other circum
stances might occur Immediately after or contempt
raneously which would effect own action and
that of our sister slsve States remaining in the
Union. At the time Of our nomination, and since,
our general views of the course and policy to be
pursued by the convention given to the public
