Important to the American Clergy.

The Advertiser, which of late seems to
have taken to two pursuits, the defense of ne
gro slavery and the abuse of American cIer-
gymen, contains a second article from "a
Churchman," in which the following er cathe-
drd proposition is made, which the clergy will
do well to consider If they would not have it
followed by bull Of accommodation:
The clergy have no right TO use their Office their
pup 10. on the holy day TO teach parties of men what
political platform they should adopt. They have no
right to teach, as ministers that republican form
of government is better than constitutional limited
monarchy, RI rice rersd They have right to tell
either the Lord in their socded PRAYERS or the peo-
pie in their so-caed sermons whether the doctrine
of State sovereignty is true false. They have no
right 10 expound in their pupts the Constitution of
the United States IL is not within the limits of their
commission. They have no right to discuss the
State questions between the North and the South in
any Church capacity.
According to this high authority, all resolu-
tions of sympathy for the Government in ahis
hour OF struggle, passed by Presbyterian, Con-
gregationalist, Methodist, Unitarian, Baptist,
Free viii, Unversalist, or other church Con-
yentions, Associations or Conferences, are null
and void, contrary to the "word," and are to
be condemned. As ministers, men must no
longer be men; as churches the members must
no longer be human, patriotic or loyal.
Probably "a Churchman" never heard that
quite number of christian men and women
including several clergymen-in this country,
believe that church may exist without
bishop, even as a state may exist without
king; and hence thaethere may be few who
will deliberately persist in the impression that
clergyman may offer a real rather than
"so-called" prayer to God, and preach bona
tide sermon to the people, albeit no anointed
hands were ever laid upon his head. We dare
say that some will be so perverse and untesch-
able, even with the Advertiser before their
eyes, that they will continue to insist that a
minister may be a man; that the man should
never be sunk in the minister; that even those
who minister in sacred things should be man
ly, and that when a minister enters the pulpit,
on the holy day or any other day, he should
take the man with him: In a word, that the
true minister of the gospel is never found di-
vorced from the true man.

Precious COpperhead Confession.
The following from f. o. J. Smith, appeared
in his paper Yesterday:

THE SIX LAWYERS IN PORTLAND - The negro
worshpPers are Dragging OF having six lawyers in
Portland who have gone over from the Democrats to
the negro party. 1t is all true perhaps, il not mis-
represented. We have the names of six of these
creatures, who live the charities of their friends
who are compulsory clients. They are poor devils
At best Six city lawyers-pettifoggers At best Let
them CO. The Democracy can spare them. They are
mere smelers for the upper crust, who will give
despise them worse than Six city lawyers
Six city oysters would sell for as much.
Precious confession this, that six gentlemen
in this city fiom single profession. have all
deserted the sinking cause of false democra-
cy. II reports are reliable the number should
be nearly If not quite doubled. But we ask
attention to the complimentary terms In which
these members of an honorable profession are
referred to by the gentlemanly editor of that
bar with them. Geo. F. Shepey, we suppose,
is one of these poor devils" "pettioggers at
best" Jas. T. McCobb is another "poor devil"
Then there is Nathan Webb, Esq, one of the
most talented and estimable legal gentlemen
in the city. Then there are others whose
lie, who, common report says, will cordially
support the Union cause.
"The Democrats can spare them" says +. o.
J. S. He probably thinks the acquisition OF
himself by the Copperhead party will be more
than an equivalent for all the poor DEVILS"
"pettifoggers at BEST" in the city. Spare
them! George. F. Shepley has adorned the
party quite as much as any other man. Nc
Cobb has received its highest honors. Others
have been the chosen representatives Of the
party in divers responsible positions; one that
We hear OF enjoys a practice equal to almost
any in the city, another is frequently said to
be one of the most promising young lawyers
in the State, and then we hear of still others
upon whose brows have gracefully been worn
those garland that few lawyers are ever al
lowed to wear, who, if report is to be credited,
abjure the cause of treason and rebellion, and
will lend them no aid or comfort.
The truth is, the very pillars Of the Copper
head temple are coming down. The times are
suspicious. The Union cause was never more
promising. The l4th of September will see
rebellion, slavery and copperhead democracy
in Maine buried so deeply that no resurrection
trump can ever call forth their effete remains.

The Soldiers rs. the Copuerhsad,.

The 2lst Maine regiment, just returned from
the field of glory at Port Hudson, while in the
cars between Boston and this city, were
shown the resolutions passed by the so-caled
Democratic State Convention in this city,
The resolutions were read in the presence of
the officers, who listened TO them with surprise
and apparent displeasure. The feeling OF dis
appreciation was very strong, so much so that
meeting was called, and Col johnson, life
long Democrat, was chosen chairman Mt
which meeting the following resolutions were
snanimdosly adopted:
Hesoiced-That we consider the resolutions IA nor
ton of themj passed by the so-calIed Democrat ic
Convention, held at Portland, Aug 9Th ls63 as nm
calied-for, untrue, and directly giving comfort to
quently treasosd5ie. As such we cannot approye of
them, and feel 1t duty 10 publicly condemn them
in common with everything calculated 10 weaken
the Government In this crisis.
Resotred--That as soldiers We can have no sympa.
thy with those responsible for said resoutious and
living desire not their gratitude" nor dying
ask to 'live in their memories, that monuments
should be raised by their hands to teach postertyn
that we offered our lives in cause they did much
to bclitte and discourage. Better by far that fill
the soldiers grave, rs many of our number now do
with nothing to mark the spot where we FELL than to
have the most costly monuments reared BY disloyal
hands. Col. T.. ID. JOHNSON Chairman

Campmeeting at Kennebunk.
KENNEBUNK CAMP GROUND

ShME 'hVbND,
Aug. %.
Rev. Mr.. King, Of Gorham, preached last
evening, from Gen. IL, s.
The usual Friday morning camp meeting
Love Feast was holden at the Stand. at SIP
A. NJ. to-day. An hour was allotted for the
exercises.
Amer prayer and twice singing by the choir,
the Presiding Elder invited christians present,
to give, in short summaries, their experiences
and anticipations; and he himself set the ex-
ample by referring to a thirty-five years ex-
perience, and the expected glorious end of his
journey. Fifty-three followed, and the season
was one of great refreshing to many souls.
At 10 l-2 A. NJ, the ringing OF the bell
called together the multitude, when Rev. Sam
uel Roy, of Congress street Church, Portland,
preached from Luke xiii IA. .'Strive to enter
in ut the strait gate, for many, say unto you,
shall seek to enter in, but shall not be able"
At p. NJ, Elder Randall preached from
Hebrews vii 25. Just previous to the sermon,
Elder Robinson referred, with touching pa
thos. to the death OF John Henry Moore, only
child of Rev. Asahel Moore. A young man
of superior acquired, as well as natural ab-
tiles, about being admitted at the bar, has
very suddenly passed away. At the touching
recital of Elder Robinson, the hearts of the
assembly invoked Gods blessing upon the
greEstricken parents.
The camp meeting will close tomorrow
morning. The experiment will be tried, of
having camp meeting here another year, to
see if it cannot be more successfully managed.
A new Committee of arrangements has been
appointed, and it is hoped that some of the
evils connected with meetings here, will be
done away. II so, we shall hope that camp
meetings will be continued on this fine old
spot after next year.
The excellent singing of this season is, in
great measure, attributable to brother Stephen
Hubbard, Of Cape Elizabeth, together with the
many good singers who have assisted.
Yours, o. Nj. c.

A Plain Man speaking In Plain Language.

To the Editor u the Press:
wish to make an inquiry through your pa
per. Are Democrats aware of what they are
doing by their votes? have sent three sons
to the war, two of whom have lost their lives
in it, and although the third has not yet fallen,
that may yet be his fate. And now fourth
is drafted and may add another victim to the
sacrifice, if necessary, to sustain our govern
ment.
Now, sir, feel that those who began and
sustain this wicked rebellion are the murder
ers of my sons: that they are in cold blood
taking the lives of our sons and brothers, with
out cause or excuse.
Who, then, are they on whose heads rests
the guilt of this wholesale shedding of innocent
blood? They are not the Southern rebels
only, but all those in the free States who SYM
pathize with and uphold them by their oppo-
sition to the Union government by their votes
and influence in favor of men who have not
word to say against the rebellion, but who are
loud in tn cir denunciatons of the government.
We have few such wicked men among US.
They are the men who get up democratic con-
ventions, and get themselves nominated for
office, who cry "peace, peace" but only want
such peace as will please JEFF. Davis & Co.
You will hear from them bitter complaints OF
our republican government, but not u whisper
against rebellion. The rebellion would long
ago have been dead and buried, but for the
aid and encouragement of these Northern
rebels. Had it not been for such aid already
had, and more expected, Lee would not have
invaded Pennsylvania, nor Morgan Indiana
and Ohio, nor should we have ever heard of
that bloody New York riot. And now to-
day, il the rebels could see the North united
to maintain our government and put down re-
bellion, the war would end, and no more con-
scripts would be wanted; no more of our sons
say, then. on the heads Of those democratic
leaders rests the guilt of these sacrifices. The
masses of the democrats are patriotic, and
would never vote with or for such men, if there
were not false issues and receptions held up
before them by these noisy, tratorous leaders.
But thanks to that kind Providence who guides
the destinies Of nations as well as of indvid-
uals. events are opening the eyes Of the people
to see who are the patriotic Washingtons of
our day, and who are the traitorous Arnolds
among us.
Democrats, will you longer follow such trail
torous leaders, and share the traitors doom
and shame? Or will you, by your votes and
your influence, stand by the government and
end this bloody war? FARMER.
