rmnoRrHERE Pulpit


On the 9Th instant, one JUSTIN ID
FULTON, q preacher Of some Christian
sect or other, delivered 8 haraDgue IN
der he name of q sermon, in Tremon.
Temple, Boston, on the subject, " VIVA
shall be done with JEFFERSON DAVIS
1t Fills four columns Of the Boston TnaU
eHsr. or course FULTON demanded tina
Nj. DAVIS should be hung. The North
ern pulpit has been bowling for that fol
two years.
We do not prefix the word "Rever
end " to the names Of such children o.
wrath q FULTON, CHAPIN, and ths
other wolves of the pack that howl fol
blood, and as 20 whom it may be said, il
the words which BULwEE puts in The
mouth Of one Of his heroes, There is
the same relation between Religion and
Preachers, SIS there is between Law and
Att5rneys.' These profaners Of the
Temples Of God sre by nc means 20 be
revared or v~enerated, which is the mean
ing Of the word " r%everendus :" and :
filter prefix for their names would be
anglicised from eEecraHdus.
TIE principal argument Of the Devils
Missionary who has last howled for
murder in Boston, was thst the soldiers
desired and expected this slight conces-
sion, in return for all their sacrifices.
He said:
They believed in the flag. They be-
lieved in tie loyal north. They believed
in 3 Just God. And so, day after day,
when our brothers marched from The
battlefield by the home Of Jefferson
Davis, on their way to Libby they sang:
s. ven hang Jeh Daviso on a sour apple tree,
As We 90 marching on"
They believed he would be hung.
They did not believe that all Of the con-
spirators against our government would
be hung. But they expected that 10
some central place Jefferson Davis
would be tried, II accordance with forms
Of lsw: that IN that trial the history OF
the rebellion would be given, the crimes
Of It's chief c~onspirstOr would be held up
10 the light and condemned, and that
the guilty wretch in the most public and
in the most solemn manner, would be
sent 70 The bar OF God for thateOndemna-
ton which Unerring wisdom shall pro-
nOunee upon him.
The clerical ribald then made these
other points,-that JEFFERSON DAVIS
married for bis first wife the daughter
Of General TAYLOR, against the wishes
Of her parents;' that "nom his youth
he was despotic, tyrannicsl, and over
bearing "his plantation was stocked
with his " children; !" be was the
incarnation Of slavery" and "he was
elected to Congress"
1.-THE last charge" the New York
World says, " is unquestionably serious
bat the comparative respeetablity o.
Congresses when Mr.. DAVIS was a mem
Der miugstes the enormity Of his elee
ton"
One thing was said by FULTON, which,
IL It bad been uttered by q Southern
journal, would have been denounced by
all the loyalty Of the country as N out
rAgeous libel on the people Of the Ma
ton. He said:
"Wben q wolf hoWIs on the track %
