Mr.. EDITOR You will pardon
me, | trust, for drawing your at
tention to the fact of your being
rather severe on the ministry.
read in the ARGUS of Aug. %, as
follows:
"Political sermons are, in our opinion
disastrous to the party in whose favor
they are delivered, and by no means cal
culated to enhance the cause of christ
ianity. Religion should be preached
from the pulpit"
Now, Mr.. Editor, don't you know
that the ministers of Alpena were
told to preach politics in the church
es, and insisted upon to do so by
Mr.. Russell of Detroit, in his tenn
perance ~ lecture lately, at Alpine
Hall. BY the way, the whole ten
dency of that lecture was as much
about politics as it was about tenn
perance. Some ministers were
present on the occasion, and proba-
bly, they have taken Mr.. Russel's
theology for "all right" although
Mr.. r. proved very bad logician
when he touched theology. Here
are his words. Two gentlemen
were talking about theology. 81
don't know anything about theol-
ogy," said Russell, and almost in
the same breath he said 81 know
as much about theology as they
do Very logical for such great
speaker.
/ think, Mr.. Editor, you might.
excuse the ministers q little, even
when they put some politics in
their sermons, for want of gospel.
l am somewhat interested in
having the gospel preached in the
and therefore thank you
or your judicious and religious
remarks, on the 23rd of August.
Respectfully yours,
A READER OF THE ARGUS.

suppressed the rebellion and saved
the nation, and showed that Meth
er Republicans nor Democrats, as q
political body, had saved the nation,
but that American citizens had
done the glorious duty, and that
when the call was made for troops,
men of all parties and creeds an
swered TO the call and offered their
lives for their country. AS a proof
he gave an incident Of vote that
was taken in the State of Vermont
regiment with which he went to
the war. A State election was GO
ing on about the time that the
regiment left for the war, and the
soldiers, unable to take part therein,
resolved TO take vote among
themselves, so as TO see how matters
stood on political questions. The
vote resulted in Democratic vote
of 900 out of one 1000.
The Colonel had hoped that the
war ended with the surrender of
the Southern armies, but he was
sorry to see after II years of peace,
that men in order to retain their
hold of the public offices and en-
rich themselves at the peoples ex-
pense, were endeavoring to re-
vive the hatreds and animosities of
the late war. Such disunion ac-
tons could not be too strongly de-
nounced; peace must be obtained,
and the whole country harmonious
ly reunited.
When Colonel Flanders had fin
ished his effective speech, Mr.. Geo.
+. Lewis was called up and make
a few remarks that were much APP
preciated. Mr.. Lewis told how he
had been South, not long ago, and
that he had found the people, in
that part of the country, had re-
ceived enough of war; that the
southern part of the country was
PROSTATE, loaded with taxation, and
how necessary it was to rebuild the
commercial interests of that part
of the Union; that the interests of
the North depended to a great ex-
tent upon the prosperity of the
South.
Mr.. Lewis concluded his remarks
with few statements about the
Burnt Lands" and a very warm
and sincere endorsement of Mr..
Weber and Mr.. Potter, the Dem
ocratic candidates for Governor and
Representative to Congress.
Fred made some good hits, and
when he had set the audience
laughing, and thus open to con-
viction, he sent in his broadsides
of facts.

Reform Meeting.

A large concourse of citizens as
sembled at the rink, last Saturday
evening, to hear Colonel Geo. A
Flanders discourse on the political
issues of the day, and those pres.
ent could not help but be favor.
ably impressed by the convincing
statements of the speaker. The
Colonel showed up the corruptions
of the present administration, and
the great necessity of a change
that the reform demanded by the
people, could not be accomplished
by the election of Hayes to the
presidency, as he could not turn
out of power the men to whose
efforts he would be greatly in
debted for his election. He re-
viewed Mr.. Hayes official live, and
showed that on every occasion his
action had been merely of pas
sive kind, and that Mr.. hayes had
never given any evidence of dis
position to lead, or of being a prac-
teal reformer, such as the present
condition of the country demand
ed. On the other side, Mr.. Tilden
had proved his ability to rule in the
present crises, by the manner in
which he had performed the official
duties connected with his past life;
that he was an enemy to corrup-
ton, whether in his own party or
the one opposed to him; that no
one had ever said anything against
his personal or official character,
until he had been nominated for
the presidency, and that the par
ties who were denouncing him the
most bitterly now, had not long
ago heartily commended his per-
sonal and official actions.
The Colonel then reviewed the
actions of the present Democratic
Representatives, and showed how
they had reduced the expenses of
the government about S30,000,000,
and that they would have convicted
Belknap of robbing the soldiers
and would have fully exposed the
frauds, If it had not been
for the interference of Grant.
Regarding the howl raised by
he administrationists about the
Democrats paying the rebel debt il
hey should get into power, the
Colonel read part OF the consti-
ution which expressly forbids such
payment. He also very Justly de-
bounced those who were crying
'ut about how the Republicans had /,
