At the meeting OF the Methodist preachers
and the Methodist Sunday School Union in
Boston on Monday, Bishop Gilbert Haven,
in compliance with an invitation extended
by the preachers meeting a fortnight ago,
delivered an address on the present eondi-
ton Of the south. Tue Globe thus reports
him: "He said that there was o3e class OF
people in the south who had been recognized
as nationality by the Pope, and they would
welcome his followers 10 these shores; but
the race freed by the people Of the north will
never strike blow against constitutional
liberty. Bishop Haven said that there is t.
be q tremendous political battle this year,
beginning with the election OF q democratic
speaker OF the national House OF Representa-,
tives. He said that the ministers OF Boston
are In the field OF battle; their words are re
them. The question is, "Shall the northern
people rule the nation?" s.Shall the Puritan
or the Cavalier be the ruIer?'' "ShalI Bos
ton or Charleston be the centre?'' The Meth
odist Episcopal church is the only institu-
ton in the south to day that rep resents the
American nation. You must. he said, stand
by your church. There are in the south near
~ three hundred thousand members OF the
Methodist Episcopal church, who know
what they believe just as well as the people
OF New England. and better. They appreci-
ate liberty and those who gave il TO them.
They never will be betrayers, and let the
people OF the north never betray them. The
malcontents of the south know that they
We're defeated by one man. That man is
President Grant, and III the people throw
him over at the command OF politicians they
will rue it. Pay, brethren, that President
Grant may be reelected. Pray for the true
people OF the south, and you will find that
mus you will be able 10 keep down the kin
dred threatening powers, the slave power
ard the power OF the Papacy. Rev. DR.. Sher-
man, OF Brookline, moved that the meeting
vote that they had heard the sentiments A.
vanced by Mr.. Haven with great pleasure
and hearty approval. The motion was unan-
