SConuercal Review" If it could only be Invested Of
some Of its repugnan aduncts; and for the sake Of

In regard to the responsibility for the Rebellion,
DR. Stanton takes the ground that the aboitiOnists
beaded BY Garrison, Phillips, and their coadjutors,
are not to be held accountable, although he has
never cherished any sympathy with their spirit or
fhsir projects. AS admitted by eminent Southern
authorities the fierce rawlings Of the abolitionsts
have not caused tho secession of the Southern
0Aates This has, for many years, been great
annoyance; but it could hardly be called griev-
ance." On the contrary, DIR. Stanton maintains
Chat the responsibility for the Rebellion lies rather
Nth that class Of men in Church and State pohti-
dams, divines editors and others, who have always
Been crying out about on Infringement of Southern
tights, making apologies for the South, counting
fhe smiles of the Southern people, and yielding,
step by STEP to their extreme demands. But in his
opinion the chief impulse to the rebellion is to be
sound in the Southern Church ard tho Southern
Clergy. With regard to this, he remarks:
On the other hand it was equally the duty OF the
opposition TO Rebellion. Had she done this is the
Testimony o. Southern politicians that they couli not
kaye succeeded in Initiating civil war. But be this as
y may, II was equally her duty.
Wkai riS had the Presbyterian Church In tho Rebel
Bates for example in defiance Of her civil end religious
obligations to give in her adhesion, oTgaaicaly. 70
Hbelious power styled tho "CoIfcderate States Of
America" at the earliest stage Of the Rebellionf A
t1me might possibly come when 10 would be right for
her 10 acknowledge such Government dc facf5. But
Nat time had not arrived when her leading men took
er earliest step They bounded into the arena At the
Very beginning OF the CIVIL strife. Some Of them In
thsr public ptteTances went ahead of the politicians
around them; and some eceesiastca bodies did the
came.
Was this proper spectacle 20 be presented by the
Church OF Godf II is rather her decent mission 10 adj
kere to "the MOVERS" which God has placed over no.
