We are gratifsd to SEQ that Democrats
members OF the various churches have resolv-
ed TO submit no longefsto the political uses
made Of the churches by tho abolitiouists----'
They cannot, as christians, politicians or
good citzsns, permit the raving intilelity
and rampant Terrorism, slander and abuse

They have borne and forsborne, until il
has become a crime before God and man, to
submit to the degradation aud false teaching
any longer. This movement about to be in
angured in Ohio, is receiving attention in ell
the other States. and when once begun viii
not stop short ofa triumphant success. So
far the vindict:vs and bloody spirit Of the
abolition Preachers has had oil things their
own way, and 80 insulting. oyersearing and
unchristain have they become that they inn
pudsntly, where they have the power, sus-
pend Gospel Preachers for preaching Christ
instead Of their politi,sl John Brown. Men,.
bers Of churches have been insulted and sx>
PEELED because they dared to suggest that 10

Democrats have the majority, and where
such is the case, they should see to it thas

will not disgrace the religion such churches
process. AS it nowN is, Democrats cannot
attend religious meetings unless they are
prepared 20 submit toinsuats aid abuse from
