ADTTCE 70 TIE PULPIT.

The New. York Tines, at the
close of a long article on the spirit
of revenge manifested by the Abo-
lition Disunionists at this time, has
a paragraph of admonition and
advice to our religious teachers"
which we copy below. We hope
it may have a good effect, but we
confess we are not sanguine on
that point. The pulpit has not
proved itself above the influence
of the most fanatical, but has
partaken of that spirit of revenge
to which the Times refers in a very
large degree. Abolition lectures
have occupied many ministers, and
entirely supplanted in their pulpits
genuine Gospel sermons. May the
lecture Of the Times do good
Here it is /:
"But there are other aspects to
this question, which it is the duty
of our religious teachers now ia
present, and yet which, we fear
are not sufficiently presented. II
Christianity mas any reality, and il
not a myth to the Northern people
1t is time that its power We're fell
in this hour Of orr wrath ant
distress. Revenge does not belong
to nations any more than to indi
viduals. Vindictiveness is no
{ merely a mark Of unwise states
manslrip, but it is somethiu.
AGAINST which we utter daily pray
ere. If our holy faith has still
power in the land, it will contro
those most natural, but bitter erie
of a wronged nation for revengefu
punishment and evil on its enemies
, Justice, legal punishment we mus
have, but not lawless revenge.p-

and discipline under new officers.
it will be months before they car

Communications Corrupt
GOOD Manners "a
So says the Apostle Paul and 80
says The experience Of every civil
lied human being. In times ike
tile present, We can easily find out
the friends and the foes Of God and
Of man. Even we, "a our feeble
and obscene way, have been pub
lished in the Eaton Register, as
praying to God that England and
France might come over and fight
us in America True, we never
prayed, or thought, or said any
such thing but that. is nothing:
whatever the Registerian Scribe
says must he true, because he says
it!
Our answer to him is, that we
laugh at his ignorance, and pity
the men who have dread his ying
trash from week to week. 1t was
only the other week that the fellow
allowed some of his aids TO attack
the English army. We have never,
either directly or indirectly, said
oue-word derogatory to the Amer
lean army--no, never. w have
always spoken Of the American
army, both North and South, as
brave men ; but the Register says,
thatthe English armyis Drawn from
the spot house," &c. We beg very
courteously to tell the Register
that he is either all Intentional
liar, or q poor fool-we do not
know which. lie has no knowledge
of the fact, that there are in Eng.
land 250,0 600 volunteer RiAemen:
trained for active military service.
all of whom are the sons of rea'
and very wealthy gentlemen, who
know far less of pot houses, than
the Register, which announced tc
the world, a few weeks back, tina
it had built a new saloon for drink
ing purposes. We must be at thu
trouble, because q number of oul
Democratic friends have asked US t.
do it, to tell the Eaton RegisteI
that if it delights in making u foo
of itself, let it 1t is not our fault
only our sport. We promise th'
ignorant clowns Ct the Register
that SO long as they keep thei
paper open to liars, scoundrels
foul mouthed aud unprinciplet
donkeys, just SO long will we bray
them in their own mortar.
But there is a new army ready t.
