Lord. if Thou art an Abolitionlst, and had
any hand in the freeing of Egyptian slaves
and drowning their opposers in the Red Sea,
Thou art not our God; for be it known unto
Thee. oh Lord, that we have established a
new Church, and will also set up new
Lord rather than submit to the dictum of
one who set all the Egyptian niggers tree
and killed their masters just because they
were Democrats and Butternuts, as the Abb
oltionists call them. And, oh Lord, If Thou
art an Abolitionist, and in favor OF freeing
the niggers please make it known unto us.
that we NAV at our next church meeting, IN
this Court House, appoint a new Lord, and
take immediate action in regard to nep

an Abolition God, neither will we occupy
the same heaven with the Abolitionsts and
nippers. We pray Thee, oh Lord, to inform
us if Thou art in favor of free speech, free
press, free ,ohiskey, free acting, free every
thing but free nigger, and If Thou wilt ad-
init niggers into Thy heaven, that we may
consider the matter at our next meeting,
and then and there determine whether II
would not be prudent to cast Thee aside,
and appoint in Thy room and stead, our wor'

to understand most distinctly and emphatl
cally, oh Lord, that we will have no God t.
rule over us who is not in favor OF freedom
