fRIDAY MORNING. DEC. 4,. 13611.
The Time for Miriisters to Give Up
Political Preaching.
Now Ho the time for ministers of the
+Gospel to give up political preaehiew
We are sati4flou that a majority ,of those
pastors who hove mixed politic. with
their' theology in the proportions of
nine to one, for some years bock, have
done it rig tine. their better judgment.
"They have yielded to the fashion of the
times, to the example of powerful and
eueitseful preachers to the real (or sup
posed) irresistible current, of feeling of
their congregations. 11'e have alwaye'
held them, as a class, to be above the
sordid alms of politicians. They have
not preached politics for money, nor for
•ulgar applause; but because they had
not sufficient moral strength to resist
the tremendous pressure which was
brought to bear upon' them by church
convention• and assemblies, and by
active and influential occupants of pews.
In some instances the preapure from the
pew was not real, but imaginary. The
pastor, observing the tendencies in other
churches, eought to anti iipate it in his
own, with unnoetisary precipitation, put
himself at the head of his flock and led
into pouffes Still, as a leaeral rule,
the motive power, when it did not origi
nate outside of the church, came from
the pews and forced the pastor to write
political addresses under the name of
Sermons. and pray for the 9UCOOV3 of a

Curist's kingdom Their lltblo was

„T i nt the case of the wointin caught in
the eat of adultery, when she was
brought befor4 Christ, and his judg

stooped and wrote in the sand; and
whe9 they still insisted for judgment,
his reply was, "lie that is without sin
arpoug you, let him oust the first stone

The rebuke was deserved, and, as we
learn from John, oh• 8, v. 9, was felt" by
all those who had brought before him
the woman for condemnation, as they
left the temple without casting a alone,
and the woman and the Saviour were
left in the temple together.
Then JOOll5, lifting himself up from his
stooping posture, Inquired, "Whore are

And when she had answered : "No man,

Representation tf Minorities.
This question is asedhitng, by the re•
sults of the late election, an importance
which, before, was not extended to it.
It brought out all its glaring inequali
ties. New York .elerna a Democratic
State ticket by 27,000 majority, and yet
chooses eighteen Republican Congress
men to thirteen Democrats., If the State
wan properly represented; 'th e re would
be about seventeen Democrats to four
teen Republicans In Ohio the Demo
crats have but six members and Ilse Re
publicans thirteen Have the Republi
cans twice as ninny votes in this Stale
as the Democrats Everybody knows
they have not. Why, then, should they
be entitled to more than twice the num
ber of Representatives? We talk of
Otis being a popular government, and
the people being represented in it.s Yet
here are 25d,000 votors having six Rep
resentatives, while 267000 voters in the
lamas State have tlflrteen Representa
tives There was nothing Nom than
this in the so-called rotten bo'ough sys
tem of England before the passage of
the Reform 13111 in 1834.
If we are, as we pretend to.bo, a rep
resentative government, we should have
a system by which all the people, minor
ities as well as majorities, should have
a voice pr#portionato to their numbers.
That would obviate mans of the great
est evils under which the country now
labors. The House of Representatives,
divided according to the numerical
strength of the parties, would now stand
one hundred Republicans to eighty
Democrats Under our present corrupt
awl false system of election, it in fact
stands one hundred and forty Republi
l_ans to forty Democrats; thus enablingl
the
majority to have every thing their
own way
There is an easy and proper remedy,
which we have several times suggest for
this state of things. Dy way of illus
tration, take our own State of Ohio. It
has nineteen members' of the• House.—

General Grant and the Burning of His
Letters
The telegraph leas already stated—
and in this instance we presume cor
rectly—that General Grant has given
orders to his Chief of Staff, Major Raw
lins, to open all the 'letters which are
addressed to him, to select those of an
office-seeking character and burn them,
at-t regular intervals, without showing
them to or making any reference to him
(Grant). The Republican press affect
to ho delighted with this disposition by
their chief of these :titters. Some con
sider it another proof of his indepenient
individuality of character; another'
section consider it a pleasant display
of his eccentricity. There is nothing
tike being In power, if the object is the
reception of praise. The same parties
who now extol General Grant for the
burning of the letters civineeted with
the administration would pralte, him
still more greatly for his patience had
he read them all, giving to each its due
and proper attention There is no man
so easily to please as the one who is de
termined to be pleased stall events.
There Is no doubt that the course pur
sued by General Grant, of burning
thousands of letters from his personal
and political friends, will not conduce
to his popularity. We will sof further
that there is no doubt that many of these
so-called °Me seekers letters were of a
nature to justly claim attention at the
hands of the President elect. We fear
that in this malice he has been governed
rather by a constitutional laziness, and
a disposition to avoid Governmental
responsibility, than any thing else. To
us it is a bad sign. It indicates it reign
of a Cabinet of seven persons, each of
whom will be the President in- big own
sphere, with hardly any check by the
Chief ne.gistrate.
The office of NI 'ideal is one of great
labor, as well as responsibility, to those
who properly perform its duties. Gen
eral Grant makes a poor commencement
when ho endeavor's to shirk, in this man
ner, the duties of his position. It may
be unpleasant for him to meet them, but'
assume them he must. • His silence,
which has boon the besie'of his political
fortune, will 'no longer subserve
Ile must speak rut—must declare his
views on all the great questions of the
diy Ile must be as free in the expree.
stun of his opinions as he has hitherto
been reserved. In the (tufo de fr which
he has already made of the literary con
tribut ione of eo many of his friends he
has intensified sorr.3w, he hes aggravat
ed.jealousy, he hes destroyed hope, and
he has added to the realms o , despair In
thousands and tens of thousands of
hearts. Ile little knows the anguish
which his conflagration hes created in
many loosoms, Who looked to him as the
prophet that was to cocduct them
through the wilderness in safely.

the people did Cot possess before the

Sllvery for the negro has been blotted
out, but double the number of *bite

in Ike number of eleven.

The Forty Fifth Congress
Though General Grant is to he the
President of the United, States after
March .1111, ISti9, he will not have such
an overwhelming majority in the next
House of Repre , entatives as has cursed
the nation for the last four years. The
Fortieth Congress, including, iho South
ern carpet baggerg, was thus politically
devidecl:

the N Y Worbievlimoles that the poli
tical complexion of the next Howie of
RepresentatiVee will be as follows .
Radicals
Democrats
T 1 adlen.l majority
T wo- T birth,
In thin calculation it is assumed that
the Rattioals"will elect three Congress
men in New Hampshire next 11lisrch and
two of the four to be Chosen in Con
nec,ticut in April, though in the latter
State theyl b mny not secure more than
one, as was the ease nt the Congress
ional election in 147. Thus it will be
seen that the Radicals will not hare a
two third vote in the Forty-first as they
have in the present Congress Not only
will the Democrats have nn effective
working minority, but among them will
he men who will make their mark on
the Iluoi
The country will be the gainer by the
increase of Democratic Ilepresentatives
and Democratic brains in the nest Con
gress. The experience of the two last
thongresaca has shown hew disttet-rotie -a
thing it is for one party to have an over
whelming majority in the national leg
islature : and though the Democrats in
the F'erty-first Congress will be too few
to check all Radical legislation, they
will still lie strong enough in number
and brain to prevent a repetition of
much of the ill-advised nail hasty action
which has well nigh •nude the mere !
