Morc.-Sincc my last letter the Rev. Mr. Punncti
has stated through city paper that II was other
than political causes that led 10 the nj If
! Dr. Van Bokkclcn. but lac does not state wherein
they consisted. One Of the oldest and most relia
bic citizens Of this place says that il was solely
due To political difference although the DR.. never
| preached political sermon. II Is indeed n fact
lac was not suspended until after the war. but this
was owing TO the weakness Of the opposition until
reinforced by sundry generals, majors and colonies
! fresh from the South, and by their combined de
ception and tfckcry control Of the church was oh.
| tanned while the DR.. was absent visit Co New
| York. majority Of the pew holders were favor
able TO the Dr.. but they we're unable 10 cope with
the new spirit Of military determination. and for
the sake of peace the DIR. was obliged 90 retire.
| This same Southern influx not only destroyed the
| Dr.'s activities In his church and school. but
paIayIed the business prosperity Of the place and
substituted the poInposity cngendered by snufing
air at high elevation and emitting il in sonorous
blasts oommingled with worls-calcd by the boys
blowing. These superficial elements are gradu-
ally subsiding-thc fttest may survive, and with
the influx OF new energies, Of which the Rev. Mr.
Jamison l. one, We hope TO move forward toward
practical prosperity and use:ulness.
