to their credit that many OF them have
all the time confined themselves to their
legitimate work of "preaching CHRIST
and Him crucifed." But look away
from West Virginia to the influence ex-
erted on our National councils by this
Church. President GRANT is to-day
controlled more by Chaplain NEWMAN
and Bishop SIMPSON in directing State
affairs than he is by his own Cabinet
Their Conferences pass resolutions con-
demning or approving certain pubic
matters. When ex-President JOHNSON
was on his impeachment trial, his over
throw and ruin was sought BY the leaders
of the Methodist Church North with
fury and hate until then unknown, and
rumor says that when the time ap-
preached for taking the vote Bishop
SIMPSON, of flag notoriety, tele-
srsphed to Senator HARLAN n sacerdo-
tai fraud from Iowa, to pray with a
West Virginia brother {also Senstor)
who was regarded as little shaky.
By the influence of the Bishop who
hal the courage to unfurl battle flag
from his church when there was no hos
tile foot within thousand miles of him,
has the administration planted and nur.
tured thick growth Of thorns and this
ties in eleven States of the Union. BY
his devices have the fruits of the war
been turned into apples OF Sodom and of
the Dead Sea. Every blessing OF free
government has been scourged from
the face of country containing over
twelve millions Of people, and larger in
extent than many of the foremost pow
ers of Europe. The Constitution has
been no restraint upon their actions. 1t
has been trampled under foot, or widen
ed or extended by fraudulent amend
ments, according as the inscriptions
purposes OF party would be best promot-
ed. To express reverence tor those
who bought its original draft with Ibeir
blood, and hold it up as it was before the
hand of modern vandalism had assault
cd il, is denounced as treason. No law
however, revolutionary or destructive
was ever found by their construction to
be in conflict with its provisions, il 1t
was demanded by the interests OF party
Their own will without let or hinderance
from any quarter has been the measure OF
their legislation.
Peculation. bribery and corruption IN
every conceivable shape has been the re-
suit of the control OF religious teachers
in our national politics. 1t is true that
these are times of active and close thoo-
logicol discussion, but God grant the day
may never come in our history as a ns-
ton when theological questions will on
ter as issues in our political canvasses.
and woe be TO that church or e2clesiasti
cal organization that forces them on the
country This may be an age OF progress
or an age OF Iatltudinarianism in ecclesi-
astical lnatters-or it may be, "a is most
probable. that the great spirit Of anti
CHRIST has arisen-which our cotempor
arv calls "the grand collision OF mind
against mind but be that IS it may,

work of saving souls, and let the protes-
siopal politicians sod statesmen save the
