Advance in Public Sentiment.

The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin gives
the following facts in illustration OF the change
ofpublic opinion, in that city and at Wash.
ington, in reference to the great source of our
national calamitiss: A few years ago the Rev
Dudley A. Tying preached sermon in this
city. IN which he denounced our great nation.
al sin, the liberation and protection of slavery
He was prescribed and compelled to resign
his pulpit. On Thursday last there were
services in al, or nearly all, the three hundred
and odd churches of PhiIadel phia, and in most
of them the condemnation ofslavery was more
severe then that uttered by Mr.. Tying. The
congregations heard the solemn words of the
preachers with approval, and now no minister
is In danger of losing his pulpit for condemn
ing the otfense against God and man that has
brought upon the nation the punishment
through which it is now passing. Dudley
lying was few years in advance Of his time.
His course is now fully indicated. 10 Wash.
ington City, where three years ago no one
dared to open his lips against slavery, the
institution exists no longer, and the ministers
may fearessly and with impunity do their
duty in condemning slave.hoIding as crime.
On the national fast day. the church whose
minister is known to be the most sternly
opposed to slavery was crowded as it never
was before, and hundreds were unable to
obtain admission. Rev. DR.. Sunderland, like
faithful minister of the Gospel, spoke as
boldly in denunciation of slavery as he could
of any other individual or national sin, and
his words were listened to with heartfelt
approval by his vast congregation. Truly
the world moves when such changes can be
recorded"

He who proposes such Peace makes war. Il
