To which Henry Clay replied:
II am exceedingly sorry to hear the SEN
ator from Mississippi say that he requires,
first, the extension of the Missouri Com
promise line to the Pacific; and also that
he is not satisfied with that, but requires,
If understand him correctly, positive
provision for tho admission of Slavery
south of that line. And now, Sir, coming
from Slave State as do, owe it to my
ject, to state that no earthly power could
induce me to vote for a specific measure for
the Introduction of the Slavery where it
had not before existed, either south or
north Of that line. Coming As do from q
Slave State, it is my solemn, deliberate,
and well-matured determination that no
power-no earthly power-shall compel me
Slavery either south or north Of that line.
Sir, while you reproach-and justly, too
our British ancestors for the introduction
OF this institution upon the continent OF
America, ] am, for one, unwilling that the
posterity Of the present Inhabitants OF CAL
ifornia and of New Mexico shall reproach
us for doing just what we reproach Great
Britain for doing to us"
Yet that which Henry Clay slavehold-
er, representing Shareholders, declared that
no earthly power would ever compel him
to do, we Northern Republicans we're re-

Rebel Preachers.

Under this head the Squire, in his last
weeks Democrat, takes exceptions to what
we said, by way of comment on an article
taken from the Mauch Chunk Gazette.
In speaking of those christians, whose
peculiar religious temperament could
brook nothing outside of the Chicago
Platform we said-"a sermon, or prayer
favorable to the Union cause is as destruc-
tive to their equinimity as is arsenic to
saagry rats" This the Squire most en-
phatically denies, and then in a long rig
marolc about politics in the pulpit-war
for the abolition Of slavery &C., concludes
with the following: "After this explana-
tSou, We hope that our clever neighbor the
JEFF. will deem it unnecessary to send for
Rebel Preacher for the citizens Of
Stroudsburg.. Our present preachers are
sufficiently 'Rebellious.' There is about
as much honesty contained in the above
quoted paragraph as there generally is in
sayings Of modern Democrats We spoke
of the christians who were dissatisfied
with the preaching as it is in our borough,
as being but few in number; and the hub
bub which is kept up around the Monroe
Democrat about political sermons is proof
positive that We were right. The large
majority of our citizens are perfectly sat
ss6ed with our preachers. 1t is only the
two or three who are gathered around the
Democrat, as aiders aud abetters in the
getting up of its flth, who are dissatisfied
aud to whom Rebel preacher would be
at all desirable. But the Squire says
"our present preachers are sufficiently re-
bellious." And why? Merely because
they are loyal men-because they preach
for the Union, pray for the Union, and
in their whole hearts, love the Union
and for doing this they have been howled
at by every cur of the party who has
breath enough left to enable him to make
a noise. The Squire knows, as well as
we do, and we know it well, that members
of his party, himself one of them, were
unsparing in their denunciation of our
clergy, months before Mr. Everitt preached
his patriotic Thanksgiving sermon.

Queer Again.

The Editor of the Monroe Democrat
really woke up, last week, to the defense
of his assertion of two weeks before, that
Mr.. Everitt preached a political sermon
on Thanksgiving day. AS a general re-
ply to the bosh in which the Squire in
dulges, we say we see nothing in the de-
Tense to induce us to alter word of what
we had written in defence of the Rev
Gentleman. Although ia the article the
evidence is plain as day, that in forming
his views Of the sermon he was guilty of
h wilful perrersion of fact, or he did not
possess the ability to draw the distinction
between true patriotism and political-par-
tizanship, as a proof that he did
understand the sermon Alright he refers
us to the communication signed "X,"
which appeared in the Democrat Of the
Sth, and consoles himself with the belief
that that chef doavre will satisfy us
-'that all the other democrats present un-
derstood the same as we (he) did, and
feel themselves insulted thereby"
1t is always painful duty which i'm
pels us TO disagree with our neighbor
and we regret that our views of KS
production are so adverse to those enter
tanned by the Squire. Instead of satisfy
ing us that the Squire took the right view
of the sermon, AK" only convinces us
of his own littleness of soul, and of the
ease with which he can attempt to drag
down into the dirty slough of the pot
House, a man who is far above him in all
that goes to make up the gentleman and
the christian, as the heavens are above
the earth. Indeed, instead of con yDcing
as TO the contrary, X only but the more
clearly satisfies Us that the Squire did
