pears to act upon the principle, that if it
can say bard things Of Democrats and Of
the oditor of the Sentinel, i; has gained its
point, and persuaded It's own party that
Col! Cla'k took correct positions in his lee

about Loyalty" ," "blpachirg homes, "rehel

Sustaining the government, but such re-
marks are all b,mcomJe in a discussion ol
he merits Of public lecture. If Col.
Clark s positions have no refuge, no sup>
pert in reason, but must be defended and
sheltered behind the ercreFaeas Of the Office
OF the Christian ministry, and if this is
urged rs a reason why no criticism should
be made. he hai bcttcr abandon the lecture
business altogether It is only the refuge
Of eo'cardsi When a man forsakes the
Ctice and character of 4 christian minister,
and appears in the rola Of politician, he
will be treated as a po7jfjc'on. And when
his friends seek to shield him as politician
Jrdj,ld his ministerial office, they are at
once abandoning his political theories and
/ ic1Gi9a that his fantasies may be received
2s truth, without any analysis. Why, the
Rc9n5l|c7a even complains that persons
who attended his lecture, took mates, Won

The Reverend Colonel had better take his
loyal loaguers' one by one, into a secret
chamber and under all hs oaths Of scclecy
read his lecture to them in a low tone Is
would prevent any person taxing notes. and

What a r@fi,ac! What a wonderful idea!
Again. The RcppJ7tcoa interprots our
criticism Of Col. ClarJ's lecture as an "at-
tempt to- detame any Christian who may
deem it his daty to respond to his country's
call " Eoadc.fM ag1ia! What might
and power must be in the bones of this
wonderful clergyman, that to crticisc bis
public lecture is not only opposition to the

ago We read in these sheets that \. lin
coin was the "goyernment,' - It has hcen
transferred to other shoulders. It appears
now chat this Reverend Colonel is not only
the government but the people, also.
Wonderful composition, Church and State
united in one mani Glorious 2yjajy-Goy-
ernmont, Church and People, combined in
one person. Wonderful ElitOr-to craate
such queer combjnatlons Almost equal to
the lecturer himself, who coud prove so
mnch upon so little evidence. Just like
such as the Republican, however, which
would call the soldiers "cot.throats, ~ hire

blo names which its rebel imagination could
suggest.
