York Ne'os. have become so common
with some Of our ministers chat they
selzeS every opportunity to Introduce
them, much to the annoyance of those
true worshipers who consider the Bible.
and not the newspaper, as the proper
source for the subject matter OF the SER
mon. It is not sufficient that matters Of
national import should be descanted
upon BY our political preachers, for, it
appears, some OF them consider it within
their calling to enter into the partisan
fury at present displayed in certain
quarters against our civic authorities.
The press and the platform are the pro-
per spheres for the discussion of such
matters. The celebrated Edmund Burke
was OK opinion that politics and the pull
pit are terms that havo little agreement.
He very properly considered that no
sound ought to be heard in the church
bnt tha healing voice OF Christian chari-
ty. "Ihe canae Of civil liberty and OWL
Se:eran ene," he remarked, 'tgains as
little as that of religion by the opnfu-
sion OF duties" And lie further said
that "those who quit their proper cha
racter to assume what does not belong
to them are. for the greater part, igno.
rant both OF the character they leave
and the character they asaume," an
axiom the truth Of which is illustrated,
wo arc sorry to say. iu tho persons of
many OF our prominent preachers. This
great statesman and orator considered
that this class Of preachers, wholly un-
acquainted with the world in which they
are so fond Of medlIng. and inexpe-
rienccd III a!l its niIairs, on which they
pronounce with an much confidence,
possess nothing Of politics but tue pas.
slons they excite. The remark, SO far
as regards the experience of these men,
though applicable to the clergy Of his
country, in his time, does not apply to
our ministers Of the present day; but
that the introduction by then, OF politics
into their disconrses tends to excite tho
passions and prejudices OF the people,
which, on tho contrary, they ought to
allay y ny Christian example, is evident.
When will our minister's remember the
precept OF their Divine teacher, that
they cannot serve two masters?

FROX INDIANA,

Brazil, CLAY Co., Sept. Is, 1871.
To ihe Editor OF the wOrlIngman's Adv, cate
Having seen an extract from the
South Chicago Ea0le, stating that the
miners Of GRAIL can earn from So to IS
per day; and to illustrate his assertion,
he says that certain miner mined and
sent up-to the shipping platform 2S. sSo
lbs. in one day, that being within thirty
pounds Of twelve tons but it is not
stated stated who he is, or where this
great son Of Anak mines his twelve
tons per day, but it is certain that il is
not in the mines where | am employed.
Now, will illustrate a little, if YOU
please. There are days, land not a
few that we are totally idle, for the
want of cars, and it is then that those
great champions Of the pick mine their
coal and prepare it for shipment; and
after all think that there is not one
man out of ten that can load up for one
month, without considering the time
and labor Of mining it. Therefore il is
to be seen as plain as the sun at noon
day that it is naught but base fabrica-
tion, gotten up to injure the poor miner,
who does not as stated by the Eagle
earn from So TO IS per day, nor does
he mine and send up to the shipping
platform twelve, six or even four tons
per day. He may do it one day, if he
has prepared his coal when his fellow
miners are lying idle, and then he
must have extraordinary facilities to
ship il from bis room. The shipping
platform facilities we do not enjoy at
present; therefore / say, fellow miners,
beware of false reports set afoat by
men that know nothing Of mining coal.
Those soft handed gentlemen had they
to use the pick, ,they would find il rather
hard to mine and ship 1000 pounds per
day, and ! hope that miners will not
come 10 Brazil with the intention OF
realizing the report of the Edgle, or else
they will be sorely disappointed, and
curse the Eagle all the days Of their
natural life. Yours, &c,

rope, and bent on disthroning kings
and tumbhng down thrones. They
are workingmen-nnd they mean busi-

that they have frightened the European
governments into a conference, o>ten-

Europe. They are all Intcrnationalists.
1t any ncredulous Sc eptic, blind to Il .

work laughed to scorn, we refer him
to the lugdbrious confession of the

that the International;sts nov number

whom no quarter was to be given, and
who, amid fire and slaughter, sold their

r. the Editor Or the wosKIxoNAs's ADvocErs
We read that Plato's language was such
that Cicero said if Jupiter we're to speak
in the Greek tongue be would use the
language Of Plato.
We wish that the words and sentiments
used in the great speech Of Gen. Ewing
could be translated into every language
spoken over the broad earth, that every
person might read and ponder over the
mighty truths so eloquently portrayed in
his mastery effort. Never before, in 30
few words, were the rights Of man 50 clear
y presented, and the many wrongs inflicted
upon the laboring class. by oppressive laws
passed by corrupt Legislators, 80 thoroughly
exposed, and their corrupt and wicked
schemes brought to light No wonder a
majority Of the hireling press Of the coun-
try refuse or neglect to publish the speech
10 full, they are afraid Of its effect on the
minds Of the masses. Some Of the weak
er portion Of the editorial staff Of our ooun-
try, such as shose that control the columns
Of the Chicago Times, and few others of
Ike cahbre and kindred spirits, open a
scattering fire upon the gifted orator, but
utterly fail in bringing forward any plAus-
bic argument that can weaken the position
taken BY the gifted statesman, in his un-
answerable speech to the people Of Ohio.
The silly twaddles Of bis opponents are
but an atom in his grasp, aud the baseless
arguments they have tried to raise, in de-
fense Of their oppressive system Of govern
ment, have all vanished like mist before the
morning sun, under his sledge hammer
blows Then where, | would ask, IL there
a true labor reformer who does not fell en-
couraged when such mighty intelects az
Gen. Ewing, openly proclaim th3 Justice
and strength Of our cause, thus showing 70
our enemies that we have brain as we'll as
muscle engaged in the great work Of re-
form? Gradually, but surely, the gifted
and talented men Of our nation are exam
lining and discussing our declaration or
principles. and if they are not entirely be-
lIeved BY party prejudices or those standing
in cowardly fear Of their inscriptions task
masters, they do not hesitate in saying
boldly that the course marked out in the
platform Of the Labor Reform Party is the
only snre and safe way presented 70 the
people, that will extricaie us a. nation
from the evils now existing, such az runous
taxation, crushing monopolies, squandering
Of the peoples land and money, &c. but
We offer an antidote for these evils To un-
scrupulous demagogues and brainless and
squeamish editors, it is bitter pill for them
to take. But straighten out ye little mind
ed ones, such an affective medicine may
make men of you yet, and for their sake
