His wife was very sick, and sent from the other room for us to pray for her: We did so, and then returned to take our bread and eider dinner. weather was warm, and we were very thirsty and began to lay in the bread and cider at as very liberal rate. It, 'however,; seemed to me that our cider was not only new eider, but something more, and I began to "rein zup my appetite: Brother - Walker laid' on lib erally, and at-length I said to him, ' YOu had better stop, brother, fir there is surely some thing more than eider here.' I reckon not,' said he.' BUt as I was not in the habit of using spir- its nt nll, Ilmew that a very little would use me up, std . forbore; "but . with all my for bearnnee, presently I , began to feel light headed: I instantly ordered 'our .honest, fearing we were snapped for 'once. I idled for our bill.; the oh! brother would have nothhig. We mounted and started on our journey. When we had rode about n mile, being in.the rear, I saw brother' Walker was , nodding at d.-mighty -rate— After riding on soma distance in this -way, I suddenly rode up to Brother Walker, and cried out, ' Wake up.! Wake up !' tie rous ed up, his eyes watering freely. ' I believe,' said we arc bothilruuk: Let us turn out of the road, and, lie down and take a nap till we get sober.' But we rode on' without stopping. We were notdrutik, but we. both evidently felt it flying into our heads, and I have thought-proper, in' all. milder., to name it, with a view to put others sm their guard. Peter Cartwright Tames a Si/rem—Within the l . rounds of this district there lived a 10.4 - preather,.Who was a small , very easy, good natured, plea,iant num; be was believed to be also a very pions nian, and a good- and useful preaCher. His wife ♦vas direetly the reverse of almost everything that was good, saving that it was believe 4 that She-was vir tuous. She was.high tempered, overbearing, . quarrelsome, and a violent opposer of reli oion• She would not fix her husband's r• c lothes to gn out to preach, and wa.; unwil ling be shou:d ask a blessing at the table, or pray in the family. And when he would att - entpt to pay she wOuld, not .eonf4rmi but woulur tear round and make all the noise'and dislurbunee in her rower. She would turn _. . the chairs over while he was reading, singing, or. praying, and if she could not stop- him in any-,other way, she would catch• a cat ':and throw into his face while he was kneeling and ! try'lig to pray. Poor little Mau! • tairek he. Ws% tormented almost to .desperation.

But at length I yielded to his importunities, and weal-ime with hint, intend?ng to stay all night. . After we arrived I sa' in a min ute that she was mad, :and the devil was in her as large as an alligator; and. fixed my purpose and determined on my course. After supper he said to her -Very kindly, _'Come, wife, stOp your little afrairs, and let us have prayer: That moment she boiled over, and said, ' I will leive none of. vonr praying about me.' • I spoke to, her mildly, and ex postulated withher, and tried to reason ; but no, the further I went the more wrathful_ she became, and she cursed , Me most bitterly:— I then put on a stern cifiuntenanee, and said to . her, 'iMailam, if you ,Were a wile of mine I would break you of your bad ways, or I would break your neck.' , ' The devil you would,' said she. ' Yea, you area pretty . Christian, ain't you V And then such a volley of curses as she poured on me wasalmost beyond human endurance: • " Now", said ;tuber, 'lf you donot.bc Still gio nett re yourself, 111 put you out of doOrs.' At this she swore she was one half alligator and the other half snapping -turtle, and that it would take a better man than "I was .to put her out. It Was a stria!l cabin we were in,land we were not far from the door',.'' Which was standing open. I iught her by the arm, and swinging her round in a circle, brought her right up to the door, and shoved , her out. She jumped up, tore • her hair, %foamed ; and su&h swearing as she uttered wai.i.eldoni equalled, and never surpasied. The door, or - shutter,of the door, was very, strongly made to keep out hostile Indians.; I shtit.it tight, barred it, and went to prayer, and I prayed . as ,best 1 - could, bitty I had, no language at my' .courrnand to express my feelings; at the same time I wasoletermined , to conquer, or die in the-attempt. While she' yeas raging and forming in the yard and around the cabin, I started a . spiritual song, and. sung loud to drown her voice as much as possible: The five or six little , children - rim ! and squatted About, 'nod crawled, under the bed.

MI CLERGYMEN AND POLITICS. Enirons iketrnLlCAN :—The following ar ticle in delenee.of what is called " preaching,' which 1 clip from the Bingham-- to Slandaid, was written by one of the old est and ablest and most truly conservative. -clergymen of the Wyoming Conference, in reply to the attacks of the hingliamlon Penz- ocrat upon.Miuisters who had "dabbled hi polities;" but the Democrat, with befitting illiberality, refused to publish it. J. H. T. "EDITOR DE . MOCRAT—Dear Sir: You have, in more instances than one, ex pressed strong dissatisfaction with the part acted by clergymen in relation to. the late election. _Nor have you been alone in your censures. Dime ether-journals have been still more unsparing in their rebukes. The legal tight of christian ministers to do what has been charged upon them as a 'grave limit has not probably been called in question._ The•positiongenerally taken is, that it is un becoming men of their •pretession to meddle With polities. We arc free to admit that there arc timeS when exceptions of This kind would be well taken. For example, when political parties divide upon issues which 'have no special moral bearing—when the question is merely' whether Bichard Roe or . .lohn Due shall lie President of the United States, sheriff; or eopstable—then a christian pastor will best consult the dignity et his station, and most effeetually preserve his ministerial influence, by leaving the - field entirely 'to mere party et:what:mt.% It is a matter of iveiun pa raid v less interest to him whether thecivil gevern ment adopt a high or low taritr, whether it patronize or repudiate a National Bank, and the like, 'than -how ,he may best maintain his influence, that is, his power bid° good to thd souls of the who are - provide:l-. tinily committed to his pastoral care. And ofso ' a vast', multitude of. other questions which, now ard then enter into the polities Of our country.. • lu truth, it must be admit ted.that: most of the political i-sues winch have•divided and embroiled-our citizens ring the last half century, have been of such a character that - no man professionally de voted to the -"cure of souls" could, with any show of prepriety, be v. party- to them'. They have been wholly beneath him. For amin ister of the Lord Jesus to teeddle at all with. things of that sort, would involve asgreat an Incongruity as fel. the soaring er,gle to come down from his aerial height to dabble in the mud and filth of the earth. Even \Oen ques tions are pending, having more or less con nection with the real intereSts the•eountry, it might be well, in many instances at least, fur the minister not to interfere. They may be abstraelly important; but nut so itni:ortant to hint as an unimpataministerialinfluence. They may be questions, too, in respect to Which the people he serves are about equal ly and quite - honestly divided ; 'so that it would lie hardly possible for him to give his personal suffrage on either side without oiv ing effenee, and -eOrresponditigly diminishing his ability to do them good, It is adMitted, then, that the occasion must be extraordinary to justify - the christian min ister in taking anything like a prominent part-in Haim - But such occasions have, unqutstienably,Oceurrel buries, ever complain that ministers. of the gospel tried to influence the pOlitics of the country durieg the war of thellevolution ? 'The then pending issue involved consequences, which, it was easy to foresecitetst atlifet the mor al destiny, of unborn ; and the man o f God, strualing in his holy place, raised his voicein favor ofthe freedom of his country. Did be not do right? • Whether a minister exercise his , political franchise or not, then, is a simple question of expediency. When issues, are - made which bear immediately' and vitally upon public morals, then he it. solemnly bound to wield any political influctaie he may have. Be has no sort of - discretion in the premises. To de cline to do what he can to prevent moral evil and promote - - moral good, is •to incur guilt before God and his country. As a watchman upon the walls of Zion, le - must lift up his voice of warning when he sees the sword coming. It, therefore, party politic ians do not 'wish him to interfere, they must keep out of the legitimate - Jrange of his cal ling.. 'They must not assasilt public morals, is they do not wish bitn- to assault them,— Let theta refrain from etuponoachinent pp the interOs of that kingdom which is not of this world; and he,ivill have neither motive norjUstifiable teason fur attempting to thwart their, plans. But if they plan to . . perpetrate wiekoluess, fidelity -to WS calling will oblige hiM to do what he can to hinder them.

In the West. DT W. W. STORY. ate convictions, ire cannot do otherwise than look upon it as our solemn Auty, in the ex isting state of things, to take an lictiv,e parf in the politics of our, country. - We think the crises imperiously' demOdig it. Let, us look at some of the fads: t . The repeal of the Ittimer? Compromise is regarded_ as an.assault Upon= public morals. That compromise had been acquiesced in and assented to by the great ma)ority of ithe na- tion, for more than thirty yeatv. VOy 104 ,4. found-any fault with. it, wli4e most of our citizens had come to lurk utxm, it much as . they did upon the Constyutiorritsellt— That it was perfectly eonsistrt with that in strument could not he reasonahly - questioned, when it had the approval of the frainers of the Constitution and of the rmOi3t distinguished jurists of the nation. It -. was:during the pen dency of the 'proposition to Npeal this einn promise that clergymen first 'deemed it their duty, as a elms, to speak out: ' They, solemn ly protested against the meawe-not Only as being likely to occasion the most disastrous sectional strife, but as being. such a viaatinn of the public, faith as must have a weakening influence on the moral sense of the nation, For, if the. Legislature itself might do a thing' of that sort, ashy f hold d not the privii6 citi zen ? Of the manner in which this Protest was reeeb4 by the projeetorsiof the repeal w•e must not ask space in your paper to speak further than simply to remind 'you - dart the simners of it—some thousands of the purest • nnd most intelligent men among Us—were assaikd with the most indecent invective; charged xvith ignorance, and accused , of with matters that did 'not concern theca 'l liZepeal was now a party Measure. •To reconcile the North to it, we were told that it could. snake no practical diffe•OtiCa in .re gard to the extension of slaverv; • .Thii " in stit nth in" could not live' in so' itigh a latitude as Kansas, anti to make everything sure the friends of freedom had only tti pre-oecupY the ground.- Accordingly largei;tuanbers of free State men madti their woy into that Territory,degning there to spend - their days,, and there to find - a home for thefr posterity. Meanwhile, however, and:. even before the compromise was repealetl. the ilon„ U. Atchison; theta United States.genator,, and just befiire actinvis Vice-President of. the United States . , visited the Misstmri border towns to stir lip their. people tolieize the adjacent Territory .at the earliest mo ment, in-order to plant Slavery there. The flev. F.• Starr, then Pastor of Old , Presbyte yian church in liVeston, repqrts one of the speeches of Mr; Atchison, dellhird in that place. Thc; . •spirit objqe! . ,of that, speech. Will he - sufficiently following extract : * • • "What killyon, dclif .the proiniso is not repealed? - , • • 4 ►IP here at home and permit the se, ger thiercs,the cattle, Me recoils,: ofth . to come into Nebraska and take - tip the. fer tile prairies, run ofl — your negroes; and de- Feel:llc the value of your slavci here? know you well,; I know. what yon; will do ; :you know how to protect your (48.71 inter ests ; your own rifles will free you"' oin suet :7eighlors, and secure your property, Your Will go there yitlt your slaves, atukyon will , stay there with them, even if tote Missouri compromise,' is not - removed. • Yo 4 will go in there, if necessary, with the baylm'ef 'and with blood. But' we will repeitl thqcompro mist?. I would se,oner see the whole, egf :Ne braska a hundri-d times in the. I,t' l ttent of mitt than to See it a Free State." '1 • This speech,Mr. Starr tells us, . t was. re ceived with "loud cheers and intensi! 'excite: ment.”. We arc not sur'prisea, ti:o4to learn that secret socicties,.wercforined ail along the border eniinties-probably most of thorn by Mr. Atchison himself, as Le was abing time abSent from his seat' at Washingten—the members of which bound . theinselvesliy bar barous oaths to plant slavery in Kansas and to keep freescillers out of it. ftirsitatit to this purpose Missourians ncit only obstruct ed all ingress by free State settlers into Kan sas, So far as their own that-ought:lris were; concerned, but -went into it by thousands for cibly- to control the territorial elections.— They. succeeded. And in sueeeedink they . imposed upon.the Territory a code or laws which, for tyranny and injustice, are 4proba bly without any parallel in the history of hu man legislatum. Nor have these laws been allowed to remain n dead letter, in the hands' of pro-slavery administrators. they have been executed with a ferocity thatFivould have paled the cheek of Nero hirnscif.. In deed,for the free State settler there *as.uo law. The usurping -party did to hire and with him just what. they pleased. Itebber ies ;murders, rapes, arson, were. Committed wherever and whenever the apppropriate free State victim could be found. ..MirtiSt4s and others, who 'dared td say a word in fa or of freedom, were : tarred and feathered,bailished, or shot down in the streets. In vain the poor sufferers appeal to the gcvernirient :Or protection. The chiefmagistrate of the na tion alleged that he had neither the right nor the power to interfere, and taaritingly, told them they must .submit, to the territorial laws,—thosc very laws which by • fraud and violence lad been . impOsed Upon When the lower branch of the National Leg- islature proposed.to•send a .commissioa into. Kansas, with a view to ascertain howfariliese appalling complaints were founded fact, the governmental party resisted the irieaure with all their might, :and to the very ; laSt. That commission was, - notwithstanding; ap pointed ;:,and most faithfully did its- mem. hers do their duty. - Their. Report Was Made to the House, and know bethre the pUblie. But its sickening details,. which 'more fthan justify_ the complaints previously madefipro daced no charm:in the policy of the govern. went.

We care not a rush whether Buchanan, or Fillmore, or Fremont, be President. We siniply ask that justice max be done, and we will co-op. erate with any party that evinces a disposi tion to do it. The Missouri compromise, in form, we suppose can now hardly be restored; .but it can he in practical effect... Certainly, the abuses in Kansas tali be remedied'. ; So we have thought from the beginning,and now the fact is demonstrated. Just as soon as President Pierce has no further speeiaLmo. tive fur pursuing his former policy, be does,. with ,wonderful fiteility just-what he had pre viously-alleged he could, not do. Compare- . Live peace is - being restored • to Kansas ; for something like even-handed justice IS now meeted out to her citizens—so far at- least as the thing is possible in the existing state of affairs there.
