ure proposing an amendment to the
Constitution. 1t provides that No
State shall make any law respecting the
establishment of religion, or prohibiting
the free exercise thereof, and that no
money raised by taxation in any State
for the support Of public schools or de-
rived from any fund thereof, or any
public lands devoted thereto, shall ever
be under the control of any religious
sect, and that no money or lands so de
voted shall be divided among religious
sects or denominations. The discus

gressmen upon an issue which must
excite the deepest interest during the
approaching Presidential champaign.
