POLITICAL OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES FROM

From the Albany Argus, Dec. 81
Tho recent Thanksgiving was devoted by q por-
ton of the clergy to political preaching. The
divines took up the body polite as they would a
turkey, plucked il, disembowelled it, stuffed it
with sage and savory products, and roasted it and
basted it and sauced it and cut 1t up, and made
way with 1t with exceeding great appetite.
We find an instance in one Of our exchanges.
DR. Thompson, Of New York, In his Thanksg1ving
sermon, sad:-"rhe convention that nominated John
ought be impeached the electors who for
hun ought to be impeached For voting for him have
impsached convicted and condemned myself many
times had no bueness 10 vote for him without know
ing who and what no vas"
There il great lack Of sense and knowledge
here; but there is plenty Of malignity, which de.
serves its reward. In the Constitutional Conven-
ton yesterday proposition was made to prohibit
the exemption from taxation Of any property on
account OF the calling Of the owner, which aimed
TO do away with the exemption in favor of clergy
men, which, first embodied into our system when
that class were excluded from public Office is i'm
properly retained now that SO many have added
the profession of politics to that of religion. 1t
was lost on q tie vote, AZ to AZ but some absen-
tees, favorable to the proposition, have since
taken their seats, and question to reconsider lies
upon the table.
1t is proper to say that one prominent delegate,
. member of the clerical profession, voted to do
away with the exemption. But Colonel Axtel has
served in the army Al well as in the church mill
tant. and probably felt no pride in drawing pen
sion for mere scolding.

REFORMED CHURCH.

The question which has so long agitatcd the
Reformed Dutch church in this country in regard
to a change OF name is finally settled. The Gene
raj Synod met 1t Albany last week, by adjourn
ment from the annual meeting in June, to receive
the reports from the classes on the proposed
alteration; when it was found that of SO classes,
% had voted aye, 6 had voted nay, and 4 had not
reported The Synod, after long and earnest
debate, voted III to to ratify the amendment
by which the word Dutch is struck out Of the
church name. The word Protestant which has
been generally supposed to belong to the name,
is also dropped and the body is to be known
as the Reformed Church Of the United States of
America So that we now have the German
Reformed Church. representing such Of the
German and Scandinavian churches 90 were
originally Calvinistic; the Reformed Presbyterian
Church, . small body Of Scotch origin. and the
Reformed Church, representing the churches
which sprung from Holland. The closing speech
NJ. Mathews, of this city, the oldest clergyman in
the Synod. He took the ground that the name
Dutch had long been an obstacle to the growth Of
that denomination, and that it was now the ques-
ton, not of preserving the record of the past but
how to render most effective service to the Master.
The change is opposed by many Of the wealthiest
members of the church.

The Liberal Chr-istidn proposes a new and sim
pie form Of admission to the Church as follows:--
The old distinction between society and church
had meaning and a justification so long as only
those belonging to the church were considered
elect, or Christians. II has no meaning no justi.
cation, in our liberal faith. We do not believe
that the few who belong to the church and partakc
Of the communion are saints, while the majority Of
the parish who ewn the church cdhce, call
and pay the minister, and bear all the burthen
of the enterprise, are reprobates. We all know
that many OF the very best men and women in
our parishes do not belong to what is called

and society among US Is . practical hindrance TO

we get rid Of this dead organization we have in
herited from Calvanistc ancestors, or imported
from foreign systems Of faith, and build up our
churches according to our own simple, beautiful
Christian idea, the sooner we shsll get rid Of .
great cncumbrance and prepare the way for re-
ligious growth and our own proper religious In.

A THOUGHTFUL SUGGESTION.

TO rHs EDITOR THE HERAID:-
As you seem interested in religious matters, I
wish you would suggest to trustees Of churches
the idea Of making them free one Sunday in each
month. Pew holders, If sincere doors as well as
hearers of the Word, would not object when they
consider how many in this great city stay away
from church through utter inability to pay for a
seat.
Sunday in each month, and you will see them
thronged. No more half filled pews and list
less hearers. The ministers would catch tina
spirit, and perhaps the dawn Of the millennium be
visible even to DR.. Cummings expectant eyes.
Yours truly, A PEW HOLDER.
