New Political Elements,

We take lively interest in politics. Ev-
cry new perturbation of the political pool
excites our curiosity and enlists our sympa.
thies for or against the disturbing causes -.
Being thus constituted, we have observed
with more than ordinary pleasure the con-
cludng antics of the Methodist Church Con.
ference (North), which terminated its per.
formance in this city, yesterday, by the adop-
ton OF series of "resolutons on the State
of the country" We have only space for
one of the rarest Of these ecclesiastical opin.
ions. 1t is as follows:
Resolved. That while we take no more
than \ strictly personal interest in superficial
politics, We have the same rights and respon
siblites as other citizens with respec, to all
vital questions of civil government compe-
tent craftsmanship, and public order. Be-
lieving as we do that men who will resort to
disingenuous and corrupt means to secure
Office, are always liable to reimburse them
selves by betraying the trusts of the people;
that he who lies in politics is y very danger.
GUS liar. and he who cheats is an aggraval
ting knave, and he who procures illegal votes
is pe'jured usurper; that the safety Of the
State depends upon a personal integrity
which will not bend and cannot be seduced
by bribes; that traitor, secret or open, is
AS much worse than horsclhief as the value
of nation is greater than that of an equine
quadruped; that the man who processes 10y
atty to the Government while he aids and
applauds those who are seeking illegally and
traitorousy to destroy the lawful Admins
lraton, which is de tacto the Government
during its constitutional terms of power, adds
cowardly faIsehood to cowardIy treason; we
AS public teachers, will enforce the ob!igal
tons OF Christian integrity upon the consci-
ences Of all men in their political and COM
Inercial, as we'll as their social and religious
relations"
To this choice specimen Of the Queen s
English are appended the names of five gen.
tie bloodhounds of Zion, viz: Briggs, Dry
den, Daniel, Morrow and Afflerbach. Oh.
serve the chastity Of their vocabulary: Iii,
ar "knave," "perjured usurper," "lraitor,"
"horse'thief,' equine quadruped,' coward.
y" "falsehood," etc, etc.
These are good terms, proceeding from the
ministers Of the gospel and peace. Used by
ordinary persons, they are considered a little
harsh and somewhat calcu ated to stir up
strife. But these living wolves OF Calvary
can howl them with impunity.
Let the "boys" and brusers look out for
| their laurels at the next and all subsequent
elections, or these sboulder.strikers of the
church militant will rob them Of their pugl.
