Just So.

1t is a most heinous crime for q miI-
lister of The gospel 10 speak n word for
the Union. but il is all right for him to
denounce the government or to have
his mouth closed by the elders Of
congregation Of rebels. Numerous in
stances Of this kind have occurred.
We append the following In the Ens,
New York Conference of the n. E.
Church. on the examination Of the
cbaracer of Rev. T. A. Lovejoy. these
facts we're brough. out:
East CRANKY had been his charge. as
given him by the bishop. He went to
it. found it among the hills Of Connecti-
cut. and stopped At the house of one Of
his stewards. Iuquiring what were to
be his means of support. he was shown
q lis. Of names pledged to raise a csr-
tain sum on condition that he should
not preach "nsiional or political ser.
mons" He demurrei NJ being thus
limited. but was told that in no o.her
way could he be supported. He wen,
10 the church ON The Sabbath. preached
n go,d sermon with s,udinus shun
ming Of political topics. but Ls prayed
Tor the President aud t"r the Union. and
that the abcmInstion Of slavery might
be no more IN the land. Al the con
clusion he saw some Of the official
members. and they warned him that he
c"uld receive very lissle salary ual, IS
he gave ,ha. up. He consulted with
the bishop. and was transferred 70 an
other place. where he had managed TO
live during the year. He then appeal.
ed To his brethren 10 justify his course,
and 10 ask themselves the question how
they would have acted in similar cir.
cumsiance.. A number of preachers
Immediately made short speeches jus,i-
flying his course. and spprecialivs Of
his firm. .pstriolic principles. One man,
a returned chaplain. said he would
have preached any such congregation
down. il he had been appointed 10
them. Every one sympahized with
brother Lovrjoy. won BY the simplicity
aud reality Of his narrative, and Is he
Was known TO have suffered pecuuisrily
for his action in this matter,a a collection
Was Immediately takea for him. A lay.
man started the sun, with two green
backs Of twenty dollars each. and i'm.
msdiateIy iwo hundred and thirty dol
lars we're given to recoupenss him for
his trials, snd 10 express their satisfae-
lion at his quiet Christian manner Of
his righss.'
Here is another ease:
Tie elders Of T. Starr Kings Society.
in San Franciso. wrote him no.e. say
ing that unless he abandoned a certain
style Of preaching the church would
osr many OF is most respectable m.m-
oers. He read il aloud. aud said il any
more suehepis.les wsre sent to him. .lhe |
sl.urca would loss iss most respectable

ARREsrED.-On Tuesday last. D. H.
Bailey. Esq. senior Editor Of the Times.
was arrested BY order Of Mayor An
thony for criticising the gsneralship Of
Gen. Hooker. Mr.. Bailey was denied
the right Of trial by jury Of his peers.
and was adjudged BY bis Honor. the
Mayor. to pay a ine Of $50. which he
refused to do, and was thrust into pris-
on. He was afterward released on .
writ Of Habeas Corpus. This is high.
handed outrage against the freedom of
the press. and if We are correctly in
formed. the proceeding was unwarrant-
ed aud unjus.i6able. 1t is strange that
the Conservative. generally 90 out-spoken
on all subjects. has not mentioned the
circumstance of this arrest in its col
umns. The press should everywhere
denounce such supercillious and dicta-
torial attempts to eurtsil civil rights
and stiflc the freedom Of speech and the
press. Every man has the right 10 crit
icise the official acts Of public function
aries. being responsible for the abuse OF
that right; and the constitution asserts
that the fright Of trial BY jury shall be
inviolale." We very much fear that
the rsshness which is evinced by men
10 authority will rather result in evil
than in good: and We are sorry to see it
displayed in 80 many instances. We
are an admirer Of Gen. Hooker: bu,
ws do not fall out with men for enter
'aining . different opinion Q! him. or
any other officer. than We do. 1t -
their right. Let them enjoy it.

The venom Of The coPperhead tribe
10 manifested 10 many ways. but parti-
eularly in bitterness and vindictiveness
Of spirit towards Churches and Schools.
Slavery and free schools cannot exist
in the same community; one or the
other n;ust 90 under. Slavery is the
God Of the copperhead. ~ it is Of the
rebel; hence his malice against the
common schools of the North, for when
. man serves an idol or false god. he
is sure to be bigotsd and intolerant.
and wish every one to come to his
standard.
In proof Of the fact that the copper
heads are enemies of Churches and free
schools We append the following ex-
tracts from the Cincinnati Enquirer. the
leading coPperhead organ Of Ohio.-of
April 26. 1868:
"The Church is now embarked in
politics. The religious scepter has de.
parted from the Christian Israel, and it
has taken on the political. To be a
''Christiar" seems equivalent to teing
. rampant and bigoted partisan. The
Christian minister is q slump-speaker
in houss with a steeple. The bitter
est party harangues come from the pul.
pit. and sentiments that might put bar
barians to shame are delivered in what
purports to be sermons, and blssphe-
mously in the name Of q holy and msrci-
ful God"
THE time is not far distant when it
will be obvious that the people of this
country must rise in their strength and
put down this vast and rapidly growing
array of party machinery. or be put
down by it. 1t will come to be under
stocd that school and State is even
more dangerous 10 popular freedom
than Church and State.''
Now j. should be remembered tina,
this is all said because ministers and
members Of Churches and school teach
srs. being enlightened aud virluous and
loyal stand up in defense of the I'm
lon and the government. This i
the party to which they belong
she Republican party. as such. bu. th,
Union party: and it is because they ar
tor the UNION that the En9uirer is dow,
90 them.
In Dayton. o.. where the copper
heads had control Of some of ,h
sehocls,a a number Of children have bee
expelled Jrom the schools for wearin
emblems Of the Union, such as bu ton
With an eagle upon them. or flag pia
with the Stars and Stripes or wit
sossttss Of red. white and blue! Til.
10 free Ohioi But It was done BY COZ
psrhead.. and was all right accordin
