A Gospel Sermon.
On Sabbath evening last, it was our
good fortuno to hear a Gosr-EL Sermon,
Preached in the M. E. Church of Blooms
burg. Rev. Redden E. Wilson, the new
ly appointed Pmaoher in charge of this
S'.atioii, is tho gentleman whom wo had
the plcasuro of hearing, and it was indeed
most refreshing to listen, during the entire
exercise, to tho plain cuunciation of simple
gospel truth tho resurrection of our
Blessed Saviour and tho vindication of tho
principles of our holy Christianity tbu
promulgation of which is the duty and
should bo the object of all the ''Embassa
dors of the Prince of Poace." Wo have
not tho pleasure of tho acquaintance of the
Rev. Mr. Wilson, nor do we kuow any
thing of his antecedents, oi what may be
his subsequent course but if ilw Sermon
in question be a sample of his Pulpit prac
tice, wo can assure the congregation of his
Charge and tho people of Blooinsburg, that
they havo been fortunato in the selection
of a servant of God, in this portion nf
His moral vineyard, whoso labors will not
only provc-useml and acceptable to the
Church and tbe o u mun'ty, but may go
far towards restoring tho desolations of
Zion and establishing here tho order of
things,onco known among professing Chris
tians, as "Peace on kaetu and oood
WILL AMOSO.MBN."
CgyPoor "Old Aee" is catching it on
tho right hand and on tho left, from the
4 members of his own party. Ho has long
been the supple tool of tho radioals, him
folf trying to be more radical than any of
them. But they are now trjing to kick
hjm off. Here is what a Fremont organ,
jVew Nation t says of our "honnist" Pres
ident :
" We have been imposed upon long e
aougb. The ruin which you have been
unablo to accomplish in four years would
certainly be full consummated wcro yen to
remain in power four years longer. Your
Military Governors and their Provost
Marshals override the laws, and tho echo
o! tho iron heel rings forth as clearly now
in America as in Franco or Austra. You
havo encroached upou our libirty without
securing vitory, and wo must havo both."
Although this comos from an abolition
radical, it is trne ; and democrats havo been
incarcerated in dnngeons by order of the
President, for saying much less. ''We
'have been imposed upon long enough, ''fath
er Abraham ; and you and all the rest of
the Iniposters w'rll plcaso take a seat down
below. Your military Governors and Pro
'Tost Marshals, have made the iron heel of
tyranny riti,', for along time now, and the
perple want lo-try their hand at it awhilo.

The expression of the proferenco of the
Pennsylvania Democracy for General G.-o.
II. McCli'llan was unanimous and most
enthusiastic, and this demonstration of the
sympathies and opinion of tho two hun
dred and fifty odd thousand votes oftho
Democratic citizens of tha "Old Keystone
State," may reasonably bo expected to
exert a strong and wido Inllusnco through
out tho country. Nothing, however, cau
be moro earnestly desired for tho success
of tho party and its ticket in tho next
National Convention, than tho utmost pos
siblo thoroughness of organization, and we
should bo profoundly pained, as well f3
greatly discourage!'1, if anything should
occur to cause tho slightest division and
distraoti. n in our ranl.s.
There never haa been in Pennsylvania,
or out of it, a Deraooratio Stato Couven-
tion composed of gentlemen of Puperior j

standing, and influence. They are men
of decided opinions, fixed political priuei-

rights are as citizens of this State aud of

foully and cgregiously outraged by the
present Administration, and they aro firmly

conviction and to tako such measures as
