[From the n T. Jewish Messenger, June 8.
Grant and the Israelites.

1t appears necessary to again STATE
the position of American Israelites
on the anti Grant question:
Politicians who are thoroughly
Indifferent to any other interest be
side their own personal profit, are
striving to embroil the Hebrews as
a bodyin the approaching camgaign
by dwelling upon the wrong done
them by one OF the candidates for the
Presidency in his general order, sex
pelling Jews as class from the de
partment of the Tennessee. We
do not suppose this order has been
forgotten, and it is certainly proba-
BILE that many Israelites will on this
account vote against Grant for the
Presidency.
But no sensible Jews are taking
part in the public meeting called al
St. Louis to oppose Grant. They
would only be the tools of design
ing politicians who have no love fol
the Union, and who seek to create
q sentiment in favor of principles
and men antagonistic to the true in
terests of all good citizens. If He
brew members of the Republican
party decline to support its candi.
date, they will certainly do SO on
their individual account, and need
no pressure. They will not identify
themselves as Je,cs with any parti-
san movement. Judaism has nolh
ing in common with partisan peii-
tics. Each Synagogue is like each
Church-by no means unit on pol
itics, or on science or on society
questions. Mr.. Beecher may be a
good Republican, but there are mem
bers of his church who like to hear
him preach on every subject except
politics. A minister of Jewish
congregation once preached poll
tical sermon, to the surprise and re-
gret of his brethren. The expert
ment has not often been repeated.
Israelites are too intelligent and too
self-asserting to be driven or led by
the ministers, especially in matters
that have no connection with re-
ligion. Much less can they be in
fluenced as a body by aspiring poll
ticians, who care for them only as
so many votes secured, Or as SO
much capital made for men rather
than for principles.
We have personally our own pol
itics-but we cannot force our views
upon our readers, save in this way,
to confirm them as resolute deter
mination to talk and work and vote
as they please, without regard to
religious predictions, and without
regard to the pressure of partisan
leaders, and furthermore, to urge
them to give no countenance to any
movement calculated to involve the
Hebrews as body in any political
contest There is no religious issue.
If Israelites are disinclined to sup
port q candidate like Grant, they
exercise their suffrage as American
citizens, and not as Hebrews.
We ask our brethren Of the press
to take cognizance of this ''plat
FORM" which represents the senti-
ments of the better class of Israel
ties, without distinction of party.
The Wyandot pioneer. (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1853-1868, 1868-06-25
Democracy and the Methodist
Church.

Democracy and the Methodist
Church.
The Methodist Church, says the
Cleveland Herald, is one of the
largest bodies OF denominational
Christians in the United States. AS
a class its members are supposed to
represent less the aristocratic sele-
ment than any other church of i'm
.portance. The La Crosse Demo-
crat is a Democratic paper, having
the widest circulation in its party,
which has attained its superior pop
ularity as a Democratic organ by
it's frankness of utterance. 1t bold
ly ayows sentiments which it's more
timid and polite brethren secretly
entertain, but shrink from uttering.
1t appeals to the ignorant and blind
prejudice of it's partisans, knowing
that there lies the strength Of it's
party. Its contemporaries of the
same faith covertly play on the
same chords, but at the same time
hope, by stimulated decency, not
to shock those of more intelligence
who still, through some infatuation,
unite their political faith with that
of the readers of the La Crosse
Democrat. These half-decent Dem
ocratic papers would all be La
Crosse Democrats if they dared.
Not daring to use the strong liquor
that Brick Pomeroy delights in,
they dilute it more or ess copious-
ly with water and administer it in
this way until the stomachs of their
readers are prepared for a stronger
dose. -.-e
The Methodist body of Chris
tians some days since held it's Gen
eral Conference in Chicago. Its
sessions were marked with earnest
ness, ability, and Christian zeal. In
the course of the proceedings some
action was taken showing that the
Methodist Church stands, as it
stood during the war, on the side
of the Union and against unholy
rebellions of all kind, whether OF
Satan in the interest of sin,, or of
jeff. Davis in the interest of slavery.
This drew down the wrath of the
La Crosse Democrat, the exponent
of the true Democratic faith and
policy. Under the heading Of "The
Chicago Rump Conference that
leader of Democratic opinion as
saults the Methodist Church and
its General Conference in language
that has not been surpassed in vile
ness by the most degraded Aa5itues
of the dock and the police cell. 1t
says that "Outside the rim of Afric,s
odorous cline, there never met in
solemn conclave such sweet scent
ed gang. There never was con-
vened on this continent SO fanatical,
ignorant, obstreperous a mob OF
renegade whites" It stigmatises
them as "vagabond political and
moral harlots, who make night hid
eous with their internal howlings.'' p
1t denounces it's ministers as ''lazy
vagabonds who prowl through the
land and exc out a worthless ex.
|istence by disseminating the seeds
of niger Methodism," and it winds
up its TRADE with the following dis
gusting ribaldry:
"Guard well the back door O.
