DENSE DARLING. • - THOMAS J. SHEPHERD.-:,. OUR NATIONAL BINS. PRACTICAL ISSUES OF FASTING. God is angry with our nation, with all of it. And justly so; for all parts of it have sinned. And while we do indeed believe that the section, which is at war with the rightfully constituted authorities of our country, with a view to the in definite perpetuation and extension of slavery, is guilty of peculiar and heinous offences; yet we can properly derive no self-complacency whatever from contemplating those offence.but are in great danger of aggravating our sins by pride, by indifference and hardness of heart. Let it be Uri? , derstood, that asindividuals, and as a nation, we have committed offences enough to justify the Almighty inblotting us now out of existence, and that if our nation is at this time preserved from overthrow, it will be out of the mere grace of God who putteth down one and setteth up another as be will. So far as our characters are concerned, there is only too much reason to believe that the calamities hanging over ns, will in the exer cise of divine justice be allowed to fall upon us; and if a guiltier party than ourselves be made the instru ments of our chastisement, those who have read the contemporaneous history of Judah and As syria, will know where to find a parallel. • - We have great hopes that our national existence is to be triumphantly and gloriously preserved and fixed upon a firmer basis than heretofore; but one great oondition of the realization of this hope is, national humiliation and recognition of national unworthiness of such a result. . In a word, we must fast, after the practical manner insisted upon in God's word; by confessing our sins; by denying ourselves the sinful indulgences of which, as a people, we ham been guilty; by setting ourselves, each in our place, to turn away from our charac teristic national sins. Some of these are:— 1. Covetousness; leading to a reckless and un scrupulous haste to grow , rich; to fraud and dis honesty, which is winked at by the public; to ut terly hazardous extensions of credit and expansions of business; to notoriously unsound principles of banking; to a most shame-fell scramble for offices of trust and responsibility, with not a solitary end in view, but to make the most of their emoluments; to a hideous degradation of almost the whole system of American politics—municipal,S tate, and national —into a cunning arrangement of parties fore the pecuniary reward of favorites, by processes of cor ruption, often so profound and so intricate, as, to defy investigation. It is our covetousness which has furnished the needful facilities for carrying on the slave trade; which has closed the eyes not only of Spanish, but of northern officials to its Pr prosecution; it is our covetousness - whieh encouraged the_rebel President - of a section without ships or sailors, to call for privateers. We have been in imminent danger of becoming a nation of gam blers under the respectable titles of merchants, shippers, stock-brokers, railroad-directors, and office-seekers. We must put bounds to this greed of gold. Trade and credit must be brought within proper limits. Banking must be done upon safe and honest principles. Those who handle the public money, must be held to a strict account; and offices of trust must not be regarded as mere opportunities for rewarding zealous partisans, ut terly ignorant of the duty and unworthy the dig nity of the position. Our popular standards of judgment must be corrected. Every Christian man must set himself against a false estimate of wealth in society and the church. 2. Great abuses have come in with the opera tion of• our democratic institutions. The success of a democratic government depends upon the gree of influence which good men exert upon the people, in their exercise of the elective frandhise. Now the American people are susceptible to good influences, and, other things being equal, would honestly prefer to put good men in office. But if, in the exercise of the right of suffrage, the mass of the people art neglected by the virtuous' and Christian part of the community; if polities are allowed to degenerate into a trade carried on by men utterly devoid of principle, in whose ,hands all reference'to the public Weal is lost sight of; if better men "are tootnneh absorbed in the nobler (7) pursuits of marehandise, agriculture, and profes sional life, and find it too inconvenient'for them to pay attention to the very unimportant question of who is to govern them, and give shape to the laws, by which their merchandising, their agiicultnre, their professional practice—Wieir life 7 ---is to Vd.go verned; what wonder that democratic institutions come into disrepute, that troublei arise, ankihat at last the ship of state, under the m'am n i agemau t. of those who, in' prosperous times, have been suf fered- to slip th - tirphit - leif of command, has drifted upon the breakers and lkiivers in everytimber, with the shock? This crying sin of negligeqce has brought with it, as we all *30,401 ,own, awfnl nalty; and. loudly, alt aot indeed too late,' do the times call upon Christian men in their indiiidual capacity, and ministers of the gospel from the pul pit, to interpose their influence,. and to. yield no looker to a time serving timidith 6t, love of ease, which would 'keep .tlicuf from ilineddling with fa lidos." If some change to tiiis effect does rnot cc car, we know not what-hilly hinder the recurrence of great national'&orders every;generation or two in our history. • , S.. There is a whole .041qm of national of- tinge, of which awnwmarore is but the generic niunri-:4lte grand summary. It is the flowering out of insubcirdinatiowin the family, "of lax discipline and revolutiwn7 violence in the Church,, Oficis .. applied. tendernesS tkead ministration of the laws, of false and perverted sympathy with the criminal,. —of theological error iw regard to the justice of. sternal.purtishinent There 'has been a loosening of all bonds, a rejecition of all'restrajnt, a contempt of all antitority, a Weakening .of all wholesome ideas of penalty, a process of riationatdebilitation going any Whotte:Raisis was at had reacitt4in the imbecility Of an Eseetitive Officer, who darted not `vindicate the ordinantte of God, of whick he Was one of the chief representatives on earth,'Whew whole States rose up_to insult and to renounce it.

Is it not the breaking off of our sins by righteousnessy is it not the rising up of , the nation in , arms against those inward foes which` are the secret source—the true leaven of our outward difficulties? And what but a temporary good will flow from the success; of our arms to-day, unless we are alsO successful in the spiritual encounter.viith pride, with covet ousness, with accursed political apathy, `with the , subtle spirit of rebellion, that has permeated , and unsettled the social fabric in eery joint and rela tion? . • "Cry aloud I spare not; lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show my ,people, their transOession, and the house of Jacob their sins. Is not this the Past that i have chosen, to loose the bands of wickedness? . . Then shall thy light break for* ai the morning, and thipe health shall spring forth speedily. Then shalt thou call,und the. Lord shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here 1 am. And thou shalt be called the Repairer of the Breach, the Restorer of Paths to dwell in." THE SOCIAL AND POLITICAL RELATIONS OP THE CHURCH. The doctrine that the church, as such, should concern herself with matters ecclesiastical and spiritual only, while the individual members are free to mingle in all the social and public relations Of life, and are bound to exercise upon them the best possible influence, is not new; but we think it is a novelty in the Presbyterian Church; and we are ashamed to see it tolerated, and" strenu ously and ably argued for there. , : :We have been accustomed to regard it as a mark- ofr High Churehisin wherever it appeared. And we he- Here it to be utterly false ,in principle, self-con tradictory, degrading to the position of the church, and most pernicious in its ,infinertee upon. public Morals and the general good. As to the High-Churchisna of this view of the office of the church; we, eed only turn to discus sions now going on in the, journals Of the 4is &pal Church on the, present state of the country. The editors of some of these journals are com promising before the community their own, doubt less sincere, patriotism, -by the pertinacity with which they seek to hold the church, in its organic capacity, aloof from the questions of the day. The Church journal of New York,' the: able re presentative of the High Church party, labers to vindicate the. character Of the Southern bi -shops, who made such indecent haste'in aeknow 'edging rebellion whenever it raised its head, (very different from the tardy conduct of most of the bishops in the Revolution,) by arguing that it is a griestion of political theories merely. The journal says: No rightful authority of the Federal Government can be annulled merely by certain persons getting wrong notions about it into their heads. But if the wrong riotion gets to be so "extensively maintained" in the whole, of the nine States, .tat no friends of ,the true idea can maintain their ground, we do not see any " moral and religious grounds" thereby esta blished, which render it the duty of the church toset thefnine States right in their pplities. It is not a case -in which "the Church" is called to meddle. . . . . Questions like these are not the ones which the Lord God has ever sent down a church and a religion from heaven to_d i ecide. The same paper turns aside from It Auvariable rule not to criticise " the official documerit t hf any bishop," in order to administer a sharp rebuke the Bishop of lowa for expressing, in his address to the cenvention , of his diocese recently, his. de cided 'disapproval' of the course of the Sonthern bishops; The Journal says: It seems to us pafr a moment's reflection is enough to show, the unwisdom of liiingliig any thing before a Diocesan ,convention, in ;the official address, except such things as'are of specific dio cesan interest, or are, open, for,definitive diocesan action. . . The church, or aehurch convention, is no place for mere sectionalism on any subject: We will not pause here to, show the utter incon sistency of the Journal in' deferiding the course of these Southern:bishops, whose haste, like that of the Old School Presbyterians, to give the nas cent rebellion the full endorsement of,heir sacred office, was of the boldest, most influential, arid most disastrous instances of , pplitital - intermect:l dling ever given by the American clergy. We, shall not attempt to explain this inconsistency because to our minds it would involve a serious doubt of the entire loyalty of the Church Journal, which - wo wonld entertain with the utmost reluotanee and Pain. Wo-..leaves.-it--euteigilqiicik -- thetefore, satisfied with the evidence fignished by the ex tracts; that the doctrine mentioned at the onenirig of this article. is a High Church. doctrine: With bodies', therefore, who cherish views of the church strained beyond the tone of Scriptural `injunction, and out of all sympathy with the , complex being for whom good the Chureh,,was established, we would fain leave such theories. We will nor give ourselves undue'concern' about the'errors of °theta ; but wheu they creep into' bb iel Whose Original principles are deduced more,,d4rectly from . the' Scripture, are more comprehensive,' more just, more common sense in their character;- when they gain the endorsement, of large bodiei of Presby terians,' • and can claim as their standard-bearers influential journals in, the Presbyterian Church, we must protest. ' We bold to the position that-GREAT 4RESTIONS O PUBLIC MORALS ARE LEOITIMATE MATTERS OT OM= ACTION, and that actum in such mat ore, is scmietimes a duty of the most solemn and imperative character.

The quarrels of the Church are a : two penny.thing, when compared to the great.Chris tiaw duty of maintaining social order, national au. thority, and human freedoni r against a violent.re-, bellion of unprincipled and ungoveriable men, A correspondent, too, of the-same Church:Jour not to which we have referred, sends a "re:Mon strance " in very much the same' tone, which is published in the of the Jauy:nal, and which gives the editor no little trouble. He puts some pointed questions; as in referenoe to the , teaching of "the Church on the duty of Obedience to civil rulers, set at naught" ,by Southern hi , And' is not here, it ev6; a 'call upon the living Church; in her official capacity arid action, in her several Dioceeei, and in adery-other legitimate Way, to set forth this despised teariliiiig, 'and to present anew to the acceptance of her 'misguided brethren these rejected. services TrulY it it be not the, office of. the - church to hold forth and inculcate such high moral and religious obligation tis'is- here conterimed, r irit be 'riot- seasonable far' her to do this; then,' in 'the' 'nuke 'of 'Heaven's 'Majesty; which is now so outraged and flouted in its refire sentatives upon earth, let us beseech God iti`dend us from heaven' a church and a religioW that'm4 do this needftil work 'Upon earth, ' • rebellien be not* sin, if separation'from lawful government be not schism, from right, land truth, and Christian duty, V * , riien andhuschism or hereiy, the Church may not and ought not to give her counsel and her warning,; then God help the Chttreh!! 4' This Episcopalian, subscriber to the - lE4h Church organ, the Church. Jogrnal, has a very just. idea of the powers and functions of the Church, in re lation to such public matters as enter' the dOmain of morale. it Pains and surprises us, therefore, to find Presbyteiiani so . confuted and InfElta as, in many cases, they appear to be;'ina the same'point. Such seems to be the' cOndition of the Hew York OPserver, judging from the -leading, editorial of the issue of June 20th.. Without, in so many words, condemning _the recent action of, the / two Assemblies, the Synod of the -.l3,eformed, -Dutch Church, and other, ecclesiastical bodies of the highest respectability in the North,it layti:down the very PrinCiples upon which the Opponents - Of such action based their arguments 3 . For example, in the. opening, sentence of ,the= article referred "If we doubt the expediency, and deny ,the duty of the Church in US ,orgame,capacity,,to meddle with polities,.we do' not, call in question the privilege and the'obligation of every citizen in such a time as this.", ' ' - • - And again:— • • - 2 - • "Men forget, or they never thoiight,-tliat the Church'is of God; and, the preacher Is servant: .of God, set to declare his word and will, that can not be moulded and dispensed with the changing opinions of men, but is the same yesterday,, to-day and forever."
