it possible that deserters will not be per

the pas:, that Aaron's rod should comfort
us. and We would pass safely through to
another country under the shadow of the

Beinyed brcthrep, there is no religious
liberty here This Aholltiogism destroys
the peace and happiness Of the brethren
of the New Dispensution Here is your
neighboE, who is despsed every Sunday,
because he left Church where they had
never read the New Gospel" and knew
nothing about the New D;spensation.--
He had to be censurcd by those ignorant
people, and came like prosecuted exile
among you that he might be made hon
orable in the sanctuary, and harbor ile-
gal voters until the day Of the election.
That he might have copies of papers that
mortal eyes had never seen, and be min
istering angel of the New Dispensation.
Now. this man. disgustcd with the news
from Ohio, and the other Iii o's of tho
Republicans, doesn't want to live longer
among you. He says. the whole Presby,
terry has tecome abolitionized, and wnen
he goes round with wine, weeping moths
ers look upon him ms if he had murdered
their sons. Even the Louisville Presby'
terry has been censured by the General
Assembly for supporting the Rebellion.
The Methodsts are no better The Bap-
tists are awful. The Coveuanters are
niger worshippers. Where, then, could
man go for pure church but to take
up Salt River, until he came to the coun'
try of the New Dispensation.
The tact is, beloved brethren, | speak
in the spirit aHd | want you to hear in
the spirit also and | expect those of ny
fellow citizens who visited this new eoun
try in the days of the draft, and are ac
ouaintcd with the road, to act as pio
neers. Next will come those who were
afflicted for years with the conScrlPtiou
gout or draft pains, commonly known as
the Provost Rheumatism; these will be
supported by Judge Strong and a dele
