No one certainly will dony me this

Voluntarily, therefore unbongbt by
any price, or unswayed by any sel
fish motive, I, write this pnpor,
. f glory in mf liharoh, iu regard
tq the Rebellion. C'ortaiuly there is
do brighter page in our Country's
history than that furnished by Meth
odmis. No Charch'.did more to sus
tain the eanse of the Union than she,
pouring out her treasure abundant
ly, and sending hosta of her sons ti
boot the brW f Ibe tattler, and to
shad their blood to defend our Flag.
.And I know that in my awn im
mediate region.; throughout 'the
great State of Pennsylvania, and all
otef tuo .band, tbore are hosts of
Methodists, oepeqiailyin the Minis
try, who believe, without doubting,
in, ike nomad rvrinoiplos of the lie
publican Party, and there is no price
large enoagb to bay thorn from their
allegiance r
Is there any attempt to sworvo
Methodists, and especially Motbo-
dist preaohers.from their devotion to
a grqjit cause 1 .It is aold that there
is, ana mac me attempts win oo osn
tinned more earnestly up to the very
eve of the Llootion. 1
Upon the belief that this report
is true, I -write aud urge my breth
ren not to be false to thoir principles
and allow no unsound reason to iu
Uuonoe them to vote lor any man
whose association, if not his record,
proves that he holds views utterly
utagomstio to those of the great
tlepublican Tarty.
The reason has been urged, it is
reported, and will be nred, it is
eupposod, again and again, especial
ly upon the iitethouist t proociier,
'Vote for the Hon. A. 11. Dill for
Governor, because he is the son of
a Methodist preaohor.' Bo is aooth
or man the son of a Methodist proa-
cbor, ana yet that surae ' man was a
ltobol in the SoutVduring the War.

Visit the South aud sue evorywhero
proofs of this fact. An intolligoat
Northorn lady, on a recont visit to
tbe South said "No ono surrender
ed but General .. Lee. ' And that is
true. ' Look at the Democratic Par
ty in Consross when tin powor was
again ia ita bands. We hoard agaiu
of tbe fatal doctrine of Stato Itigbts
Tbe impudout Southern claims upon
tho Treasury of the United States
for the indemnity for losses iu the
rebellious War of the South, and
other political views the very bano
of.our prosperity, if not of our exis
tence aa a Nation. . Wo bavo tho
most fraternal feeling for our breath
ere of the South. We are ready to
do all we ean for their welfare, to
pour out our treasure,' for instance,
to aid those who are Buffering from
that terrible Booarge, the Yellow
Fever ; bat we do think that tbe
time has not yet arrived when men
who, if they had received their just
deserts, would have died as Traitors,
onght to bo trusted with powor. Nor
should wa be willing to trust with
power the men of tbe North who
gave ' "aid and comfort" to those
who fired on tho Flog of the Union,
and did all they could to destroy the
best' Government on the face of the
earth. It ia impudent ia Southern
Traitors and in their Northera syra-
pat'aisera to ask so soon for the
trust of political power. Let them
waif for long years till the Country
is fully satisfied ' that their - repen
tance for the loss of vast treasures
and seas of blood in their dreadful
attempt to destroy the Union, is aiu
cora, and then ask buinbly to ba re
stored to places of honor and trust
ia the Government of tbe Coaatry.
Aad tho Coaatry may then bear and
heed thoir request, but it ought not
to do it now.
