An issue between power ant liberty is

our ruler, and if we stand indifferent to
it, o'r acquiesce in its decision according lo
tbe pleusure of those who aspire to be our
masters, what shamt, will be ours! what
losj and injury! what degredation and
eternal disgrace !
By liberty I do not mean license, but
thai regulated freedom established by our
ancestors which we have enjoyed hitherto
without question, and the example of
which we have held forth proudly before
other nations as the reproof ot their sys-
tenia and the gloiy of our own.
By power I do not mean legitimate au

Constitution and thro' the baleful Humes
of civil war.

doubtfully, the arguments wliicii sustain
liberty against those who oppose it:
Necessity safety are these the mag
ionl words by which despotism is to bo
changed in character and made fit for our
adoption? Shall the plea of tyrants be
accepted us our standard of public rule?
Shall we concede force, and justice, and
wisdom, to one of the most impudent,
false nnd injurious doctrines ever intru
ded into the discussion of public affairs?
Hut t'lere is a necessity (quite different
from that nsserteil on behalf of power)
which we must admit as most evident and
urgent a necessity that ice rid ourselves of
thine, u ho jieitJ neretsily us lie justification of
their misdeed. Those who cannot govern
lawfully nnd justly are not to govern at
all, but to give place to others. Tor ii is
monstrous to say that the incapable and
ricious shall lord it over their fellows.
The rulers who say they cannot govern
by law and according to right, stand self
condmned. Judged out of their own
mouths, they are unfit for lule and should
be voted out of power.

trious man who established it "in deeds

Thvxt uho vould alee vi essetifial liberty to

Oeiiilemen, your political opponents
think that patriotism should be called
loyalty, and made to consist in uncondi
tional, unquestioning devotion to nn ad
ministration of tho government. 1 be
lieve you will agree with mo that this
great virtue requites no new name borrow
ed from the literature of monarchy : that
it is shown in devotion (o theC'oustiiution
and laws of the I'nited Stales and of the
several Stales, and that the true patriot
regards public officials with a respect pre
cisely proportioned to their observance of
law, justice and right, and to their tkill,
wisdom and honesty in the performance
Of their public duties.

BENEFIT OF CLERGY.
For the first timo in the history, so far
as our readiiij has extended, among Pa-
guns, Jews, or ( hnnlians, has the exemp
tion of lho public ministers of religion
from bearing urnis, been disregarded,
The Lincoln -Reward attempt at adminis
tering the functions of government, lias,
in this as in other respects, sunk out of
reach of the fathom lino of civilized his
tory. The Hebrew Scriptures toll u.s how
their priests and leviles were exempt, from
military servioe. They toll us, '.ikewiao,
that even the l'hi'.istines, though ot the
cruel and accursed ruoo of 11am, respeot
ed the school of the Prophets at Uiibi, be
cause they were men devoted lo tlu Di
vine servioe. "It has been tho custom,
in all time," says Grotius, "among ull peo
nies, lo exempt this class of persons fiom
bearing arms " Jc Hell HI, Uth. V0
find constantly recurring instance among
the pug in Ureek and Roman writers. In
the Christian religion, from the earliest
times, tiie clergy w ere prohibited from bear
ing arms. So soon as the Empire bcuume
Chiistian, they were, by law, exempted,
and this privilege of exemption was con
finned and extended from time to lime,
till, in the eleventh century, we find it an
iiucopted canon of tho Church t hat the
clergy, and ull who were specially conse
crated to religion should not meddle with
mailers of war, nor bo muddled with by
belligerents.
It is I rue, as ilurbeyrac well remarks,
on thin canon, tha t its foundation is on
the hypothesis that these miniiters of re
ligion remain within their proper sphere,
hut that " if an ecclesiastic drops his Bre
viary to busy himself with oouncils of
State if he stirs up and promotos a w.tr,
if he goes into campaigns, to raiso or to
lead troops, directly or indireotly, he do
serves by to muoh tho less to be snared a-i
he acts against the obligations or his ec
clesiastic! rhn'acier." Here lies tho
true discrimination to have been made in
iu the present conscription, (putting out
cfview its general violation of constitu
tional rights,) in regard to real or profess
ed ministers of religion. Those who made
political abolitionism the hobby of their
pulpits, and taught dissension, and ha
ired ol the South, in the name of religion,
ought, certainly, to bo made to bear a full
proportion of the burthens tbey have
helped to create. l',ut respect for religion
required that this should hnvo been dona
by way ol exeeptioi, and because those
preachers had openly departod from their
calling as ministers of a Gospel of peace.--Iu
like manner, it is meet, just, and every
way appiopii ite. that all real or professing
ministers ol religion whose heads havo
been turned by tho war who havo
preached it, and advocated it in its meas
ures, in a public way, should bo excluded
fiom the privileges and " benelit of cler
gy," on the grouud that they havo openly
abandoned that exalted eharaoter of
ministers in. tho things ol God, which,
among the nations, lud secured tbem
their immunity-
The operation of this conscription lu-.s
been singularly opposite to this rule of
justice. Confessedly the Catlnlit clergy, to
a man, were innocent of having instigated
ihis war, or brought it about. With ex
ceptions so rare us to prove lha rule.since
the war began, they have kept their heads
free from being heated with the vanity of
its vulgar pomp and noise, and have not
promoted it. Vet the conscription has
been so framed us to fall upon them with a
severity greater than on any other class of
citi.ens. Tho very self-denial to which
their vows of celibacy bind them, lias been
the oeea-con for a far larger proportion of
ihm lo te drafted viz : those from thirty-five
to foi tj-five. Their religion forbids
