that while such political traitors
may sell out themselves they cant
sell out whole people and q whole

small and Insignificant e gass bag he
is; how much he lacks Of being a
man, much less statesman; and on

ried 30 deep under the scorn, con-
tempt and indignation OF an honest
people that Gabriel will have to blow

The Disagreement Between q Shepherd and
His FLOCK.
The relations existing between Rev. c.
B. Whitcomb, of tue Congregation church
Mt. Joy, and his parishiouers have moi
been lately Of the most harmonious char
acter. The reverend gentleman's defec-
tion from the Presbyterian church and
conversion to Congregationalism along
with a portion of his flock a year ago is
we'll remembered. 1t now appears that
fortune has not smiled benignantly on the
new departure. His present parishioners
claim that they wers misled by the repre-
sentations made by them and the council,
which recognized tho church on certain
statements of the Rev. Whitcomb, in that
he promised to deed to the trustees, for the
use of the congregation, the lot on the
corner of Main and Market streets, Mt.
Joy, purchased for that purpose and to
furnish funds for the erection of a church
edifice thereon, all of which they assert be
has failed and refused to do, under the
conditions originally proposed by him.
The congregation on account of these
alleged deficiencies have passed a resolu
tiOn requesting the pastor to fulfill his
promises or resign his charge, and in the
event of his disregarding the resolution
then call for a council of the Congrega-
tional church to investigate the matter.
Mr.. Whitcomb, On his part, says that he
was Obstructed in his attempts to fulfill
his agreement by the committee who were
acting for the congregation.
