"Among the "mon of the times these times of
hypocrisy, lying, hate, bood-thir and bloodshed,
the three political parsons who h'e figured in con-
nection with the recent INSTRUMENTATION stand
forth prominently as representivc men. They
are representatives Of the lowesand most loath-
some features of the present revOlion, its thorough
prostitution of the religion aud dinances of Jesus
Christ to the hellish purposes of tisan politicians
beyond all precedent in church ltory.
"That American Methodsm slild have endured
so patiently for a quarter of otury, so coarse,
vulgar, proiano, and every way Nlainous a wretch
as Brownlow is perhaps the mos danlning fact in
all its history. That New Engat Congregational
ism should have willingly or nwillingly been
obliged to bear with so conscencels faithless, truth
less and goddess enthusiast as secher is, incon
powerfully proves either the intent rottenness or
feebloness of New England Co,fegationalism.-
That Old School byterianismbould witness so
shameless apostasy of one Of thorored Leaders,
at once from orthodoxy, honor III decency, to afHl
iation with nadeiity, faithessnl and low vugari-
ty is melancholy proof of hoYlitle avail is mere
orthodoxy intelligence and Christian refinement to
the Church if once deserts by th Spirit of God"
The editor of this pper, Saart Robinson,

to the Lamb Of God, who taeth away tho
sins of the world.-btt becasc it is rebel,
and because both its editor md publisher
