seems equivalent to being a rampant
and bigoted partisan. The Christian
minister is a stump-speaker in house

This extract shows what no one who has
carefully watched passing events can
have failed to see, that Northern sym

The Christian Churches, in the loval
States, the Christian press, the Christian
ministry, the Sunday schools, aud the
public schools are almost unanimously
loyal. Hence all these come in for
their share of hatred from such papers
as tho Cincinnati E.,ouirur.- I'll
structions are e sstteadfastfy opposed to the
schemes of Jeff, Davis to break up the
Government of the United States. So
the Enquirer denounces them. We are
clad that that sheet is at length throwing
off the mask and appearing in its true
colors as an enemy to religion and TO the
common school system.
We have known, from the beginning
of the present struggle, that the virtue
and intelligence of the country was
nearly all on one side. The Churches
of the country and the schools of the
country must pc destroyed before the
schemes of secessionists can succeed.
Hence the Enquirer says:
1--WE have been for some time aware
that the machinery of party was at work
in our common schools. The schools are
in rearly every, instance, under the con-
troll of members of the Republican
party. The teachers are mostly Repub-
licans or abolitionists, and generally fan
a,ics
By the machenry of party the Enqul-
rer means influence for the Union. In
Dayton, where there is a larger secession
element than usual in the public schools
numbers of children have been expelled
because they wore on their clothing the
emblems of our nationality, such as
buttons with the American eagle, flag
pins with the stars and stripes, and red
white and blue rosettes. These. by the
satellites of Jeff. Davis, partisan en-
blems, and generally in public schools
their is not treason enough to expel the
pupils for showing there zeal for the
cause of their country in this way
The EoquIrer says:
1.-The time is not far distant when i
will be obvious that the people OF thl
country must rise in their strength and
put down this vast and rrpidly-growing
array of party machinery, or be put dowr
bv it. 1t will come TO be understood tha
schools and Slate it even more danger
eOus to popular freedom than Chuich ant
State.
In the South, where the rebellion ha
had free course, they have not been tro

TEN. If the system can be destroyed a
the North, there is a good prospect tha
the Euquirer's project of leaving NeV
England out in the cold, and joining tn
West to the Coafederacy, can succeed.
People can be duped by the enemie
of the country in proportion to their ignO

blessings of general education prevaile,
there as here.
