HOT GOSPEL.
Stated Preaching may be Expected in thi'
Place Every Two Weeks.

Reported Exclusively for the Logan Gazette.
My BREETHERIN--We will open up OF
this occasion, by singing to the long me-
tire, what the Democrats (who can't &c
to heaven) might call negro song, but
which, my brctherin, is properly col.
ored Sam. And while your preacher
lines out, you will please sing, particu.
larly the sisterhood, as like to hear their
voices -ah
From Africa the negro came,
Arise, my breetherin, bless his name
Stand up, my breetherin, bless the day
The negro came from Africa
He is the obiek Of our love,
In him we live in him we move,
For him We preach for him we pray
For him we meet from day to day.
Remember twas the white mans sins
Which splayed his foot and bowed his shins,
His shins were straight as straight could be
Till they we're bowed in Sla.yi-ree.
Then, breetherin, let your blessings rise
Upon his heels his lips his eyes
Upon his feet, upon his shins,
Both splayed and bowed for white mans sins
REPEAT-
Upon his feet, upon his shns,
Both splayed and bowed by white mans sins.
My BREETHEREN-Your minister in
tends to show, on this occasion, that
there is only one scripterel party, and
that is the Great Republican party
If any man thinks he can rebut yourmin-
lister, let him make the endeever.
And, firstly, ] will prove that there is
only one scripterel party by tex IRON
the New Testament scriptcrs and, sec
ondly, will prove that there is only ono
scripterel party by tex from the ole
testament scripters.
And my tex from the new testament
scripters is in these words-"And the,
took lie in the vessels with their lamps
Now, my breetheren, here's piar
scripterel rule-"And they took lie il
their vessels with their lamps" Who
was it, my brcetheren, that took lie IN
their vessels with their lamps-ah .
Who?
Thar was the Douglas party. They
held great meetings, and they carried ban.
ners with thrty-four stars, and on the
banner was written popular Sow reen
lty." But whar was the lie and wba,
was the vessels? and whar was the lamps
They was no whar All their cry wa,
Popular Sov-reen-ity. But you CAM
find Popular Sow ity in the bible
You may search the scriptcrs from Dan
to Bursheba, so to speak, and from kiver
to kiver, and you can't find Popular Sow
rcen-ity.
And thar was the Bell party. They
met in great mcetins, and carried n ban.
ner with thirty-four stars, and on the
banner was writ, Constitution and laws >
But whar was the lie ? and whar was,the
vessels and whar was the lamps .
They was no whar. All their cry was
Constitution and Laws. But you NAV
search the scripters from Dan to Burshe
ba, so to speak, and from kivor to kiver
and you can't find Constitution ant
Laws.
And then, thar was the Great Re
publican party. All, my brcetheren,
fancy see them now-ah! | needn't asl
whar was the lie. and whar was the yes
sells, and whar was the lamps, for they
was every whar-ah. All, my broetheron,
they didn't carry thirty -four stars-ah i
They didn't say Popular Sov.reen .ity
and they had no banner with Constitu-
tion and Laws on but thoy took lie in
their vessels with their lamps, accordin'
to the new testament scripters. Now, il
any man thinks he can rcbut your minis
To-, let him make the ondeever.
And, secondly, | will prove by the ole
aGf bn ,, 4.
scriptorcl party, and that is the Gre al
Republican party My tex is in Dannel,
and when ! say DanncI, | mean the old
scrpterel Dannel, aud not Dannel Web
ster, for all Of his texes are agin us. The
words of my tex is, "Tekcl: Thou art
weighed in tho balance But, my brcth-
eren, the tex in tho original Hebrew roads
"TekeI Thou hast Wade in the ballot
ings."
All, my broethoren, what party is it
that has Wade in tho ballotings ? Go
to the Douglas men and ask them whar
they've got Wade? and they answer no
whar. Go to the Bell men and ask them
whar they've got Wade ? and they an
swer no whar But so to the Great
Republican party, and ask them whar
they've got WadcP And they answer
accordin to the old testament scripters
"Iekel: We have Wade in the bnllot
ings." And, my brecthorcn, Pm afraid
they're agoin to keep our friend Wadei il
the ballotings, even after the old testa
ments scripters has been sufficiently full
filled.
We will now sing sockdology, arte
which the audience will please disJurs
and retire to their respective places O
abode ah
