cal preacher assais the President and the State and city
Governments, because they do not acknowledge that
slavery is the national sn-that which has involved US
in civil war. He says:


"A very great sin at the present tme-an aggrava-
tOn of the prominent crime OF our nation-is the
refusal to acknowledge that niquty not merely the re-

slavery, calling the people to repentance on account OF

SECOND RoUND-sLoANE IN THE RING.


Cneever being usad up, the Rev. Mr.. Sloane takes
his place, wheeupon Bennett maus away in the follow
ing scientific style:


Among the most violent of the abolition clergy who
took the same ground with Cheever was Rev. MIR.
Sloane, who attacked the Chief Magistrate for his pat
rotic letter to General Fremont, and denies him the
credit OF Swing Kentucky to the Union, because for
sooh that State had been always well leavened with
ansavery ideas, and he had no doubt that Gin Ken
tucky the cause would loose by the unfortunate nod
cation of the President" Binder than the veriest
child these parsons to the meaning of the political
events of the day and to the signs of the times and yet
they undertake to dabbe even in the details of politics
This clerical demagogue has the presumption to hurl
his fuminatons at the head of the President in such
language this:


WHY should we not strike the enemy in that point in
which he was weakest and do signal act Of justice
while we loved the country? Politicians were afraid
that by such course they would lose in the border
States and influenced by this consideration the Presi-
dent had chmmted the sad and grave mistake of modi-
tying the proclamation of Gen. Freemont-an act which
had filed loyal hearts with grief scarcely second to
that which the disaster at Bull Run had occasoned"


This same meek gentleman advises not only the
crushing of rebellion, but the crushing of the cocka-
tce from whose eggs the serpent OF rebellion had been
hached - in other words, he advises the utter desruc
ton Oh slavery hy the armies of the North E3 de-
nounces "he mean business of returning fugitive slaves"
and boasts that lie had gorifed the Union and
the believing to mean Union with slave
ry and the other to the full Of defects He therefore
looks forward to the tme-n0t when we the old Union
shall be resored-but when we shall get rid of the
South and 1--WE shall have more glorious Union, the
union OF free States in one proud empire better
COnstitution-one in which God shall receive all the
glory and man all bis rights" Said we not truly that
this the object Of the abolition traitors of the pull
pit, and the rss either to abolish slavery by force or
to cut of the saveholdng States from the Union p
For such minister of The Gospel as Mr. Sloane it
was but natural to read with appreciation to his audi

States in the editorial columns of the Independent of

THIRD, FOURTH, AND FIFTH THUNDERSTORM WORK


The champion, not used to many at once, becomes
tatIgued, excited and desperate. Mr.. Sloane being
sain bis friends break the ropes and rush to the rescue
The champion goes it msceaneously thus:


Of the same rabd type the sermon Of Mr.. Thomp-
son. of the Tabernacle who said 1T necessary to wipe
out slavery from the South While slavery exists our
dearest rights imperriled 1t is preying upon oar
vtas and must be cut out with the sharp edge of the
sword" 10 similar effect is the language Of Rev. Mr..
| Crawford, Rev. DR.. VintOn, and Rev Dr. Tying the
most violent OF ALL who describes slavery as "the most
unreenng, most bloody tyranny that ever cursed the
earth and insists that "we must press forward in the
name OF God and humanity. to the utter extermnation
of the cause of the war" 1t was no wonder that
portion of the congregation arose and walked ont in the
middle of this TRADE, shaking off their feet the very
dust of the church.
