SATURDAY MORNTNO, TEI3. IT, 18S1
DECAY OV PUBLIC MORALS.
Our coteinporacy, the Gazette, yester
day devoted some space to the discus
sion of tile moral, or rather immoral
condition, of the country. In the course
of its ohserv.itions.it remarked thus :
We tjelievo i that the nation is making rapid
proaressdii. ail tends of vice, and we regard this
facias eminently worthy the anxious considera
tion of All kood men. Th epulpti should sound
the alirm iiiare than-it does. The religious press
noveriseemed-to ua ao secular as it now is, while
the secular p^ess .never seemed less religious. The
war, the hpwS“otthe day and politics absorb the
attention of all the secular and most of the re
ligious -editors.
There is no tiouht whatever of the
truth of our neighbor’s conclusions, but
ibe corrupt demagogues of its own polit
ical party are to blame for the coirup
tions complained of. Noisy partizans,
■ who desire notoriety and popularity, in
troduce their notions and crotchets into
the, church, and agitate them until the
minister are forced to accept them or
resign’ thpir charges. The clergy are
thus, forced into the political arena,
sometimes against their convictions of
right and duty
But the war in which the country is
involved has made all classes more or
less reckless, and has increased crime to
a feerfnl extent. Our Senators and Rep
resentatives in Congress, think nothing
of accepting bribes ; they think nothing
of dabbling in contracts, conduct for
which, four years ago, they would have
been expelled. Our President lias set
an example of loose morality at once
shameful and demoralizing; while the
country is rocking in the throes of dis
solution, he is occupied in obscene story
telling, or writing stupid criticisms to
Haokett, the actor, on the tragedy of
Macbeth, He attends the Theatre, ii
is said, about three times a week, and
the representations most acceptable to
him are of the Jack Sheppard, and
Oliver Twist order. The White House,
whose morality was never questioned un
til lately, is now made a place of revelry
hy persons of doubtful reputation The
profligate Wycoff, and his sot )of
fashionable loafers are sometimes the
chief guests of the Presidential mansion.
A jocose story teller, used to the dingy
and dirty salodns of a country village,
is not the sort of person to give charac
ter or tope to society. What President
until Mr. Lincoln, came into power,
ever thought of allowing such fellows as j
Wycoff to get up dancing parties in
the national mansion, beside giving
them the free “run of the kitchen V”
This loose condpet upon the part of our
chief magistrate, together w ith the in
troduction of partizan politics into our
Churches have much to do with our de
generacy as a people. We are pleased
to see the QazetU so outspoken in its dis
cussion of this subject ; it is a good sign
and in tjie proper quarter.
MR..FILLMORE ON THE WAE.
At the opening of the great Central
Fairinangurated by the Christian Com
mission at Buffalo held on Monday last
ex-president Fillmore made some ob
servations worthy of consideration, com
ing as they do from so distinguished an
individual. He, our readers will re
member was our Chief Executive dur
ing the stormy times of 1850, when
Clay, Webster and Cass united in
passing the compromise measure of that
year. Then those broad, national
statesmen had to encounter Jeff Davis
and Hi's disunion followers, aided, as
they were by Mr. Seward, Mr. Hale
and their peculiar follower#. Then, as
now these extremists, of both sections,
were opposed to any compromise calcu
lated to preserve the peace and unity of
the Union. Said Mr. Fillmore to the
Christian Commission alluded to:
Three yeareof civil war have desolated the fai: -
eat portion of our land,' loaded the country with
an endhpious debt that the sweat of millions yet
unborp must be taxed to pay; arrayed Profiler
against brother, and father against sou In mortal
combat; detugeuour country with fraternal blood,
whitened our battle fluids with the bones of the
slain, and darkened the sky with the pall of
mourning. Yet these appalling calamities—
which as yet have touched our city more lightly
than any other in the land—have imposed upon
us new duties which must he promptly-' met and
generously discharged; anil new burdens which
must be patleutlv and cheerfuilv borne. We can
not, in our humble capacity, .oiitrol the events ot
this desolating war. We hear its thunders and
mark the track of desolation, and we must meet
the emergency as best we can, but never despair
of the republic. It is uo time now to Inquire
whether It might have been avoided. Let those
who aeeh light on this subject read \V.v.h mo
tor’s F&rgw&ll Address. Nor are we now to
criticise'the conduct of those who control it.
awarding praise here and bestowing censure there.
The impartial historian will do this when the
passions engendered by the strife have cooled,
and partifan-predj udiee, petty jealousies, malig
nant envy, and intriguing, selfish ambition shall
be laidln the dust, and, ft is hoped, buried in ob
livion. And much less are we called upon to pre- j
diet, xyhfeti or howthle war will end. Let those I
who seek light on the subject read General Jack- '
son's farewell address. But let us hope that an i
all-wiBs arid merciful Providence will incline the 1
hearts of the people, North and South, to peace 1
—to a lasting peace, with a restored Vnlon, ce- I
mental by fraternal aftection, under our well- I
tried,and glorious Constitution. Nor is this the 1
time or place to express an opinion as to the !
policy that should be pursued to reach so desira- !
ole an end. But one thing is cleat, that much I
must be forgiven, if not forgotten, on both tides, be
fore this Union con ever be restored; and therefore
It la to be hoped that all unneeceßsarv acts of cru
elt}-, or wanton destruction of private property,
or insult, or insolence In triumphing over a fai-’
lea foe should be avoided; for ail such acts, only !
fire thehhart of our %dvereary with resentment :
and retenge, and thus protract the war, Increase ■
its horrors, and leave a sting which will render j
reunion more difficult, If not impossible. But it
must be apparent to all, that the first step to
ward bringing this war to a close is to conquer
the rebel army. Any negotiations for peace be
fore this is done wouid prove abortive; and any
professed clemency to those in arms who defy
our power, would be a mockery which would be
treated with ridicule and contempt. But when
we have conquered their armies, and disposed of
their leaders, then let us show our magnanlm
ity anagenerosity by winning back the deluded
multitude who have been seduced or coerced
into this rebellion, by extending to them every act
of denUncyand kindness tn our power, and by re
storing (hetnlO alt -their riahts under the Constitu
tion. This f conceive to be Christian forgtoentss
and thebestpolicy, and the only one which can ever
restore this Union.

POLITICAL PhMcHING
To the Editor of the Post: •£* *•?*
In these occasional competfejl to

ducing the brief extract pA
ßkeh'h 1.1 fe. in which he exjtffeialy dealfea the dl
vlnltv ot our Savior, there’was no'toom nor
time to Bet forth what seemed to be the original
cause of his defection from Christianity, and of
the Rationalism of so many leading minds in
Sexv England, both in and out of the pulpit.
The ••stern old Puritans," as thei» admirers
love to style them, whose hearts seem to hat ?
been as hard as the rock first pressed on these
shores by their wandering feet—the “stern old
Puritans” began their new system of govern
ment by declaring that no man who did not be
long to their religious communion should have
any voice in public affairs—in other wt»rda, no
plan who was not a church member of the right
church should have a vote at secular elections.
Tyranny inevitably produces hypocrisy—and
the effect of this Bevere ordinance affords a very
decided illustration of this tritfh. Men who ap
parently conformed to the ordinance, but who
secretly repudiated both Puritan theology and
Puritan blue laws, labored from generation to
generation to undermine both. Andat this hour,
in New England, the habitations, and the
churches, and t lie colleges, the lyceums, and halls
of city and State legislation are controlled by
incn who have conquered and u ho now lead
captive the “stern Old Puritan’’ ideas ol relig
ion, and secretly sneer at the hard old theocracy
and its sumptuary laws. For •‘time, at last,
makes all things even,’’ and the State which
started out with the edict that none but church
members should have a vote at popular elec
tions, which vaunted its außterity of doctrine
and of discipline, is now guided and governed by
people who, in IB6U, would hit it* been exiled for
sedition and riotous living, and taught by cler

‘ Ah' but don't you see what progress ue
have made !“ says some sharp descendant of a
passenger In the “Mayflower." Yes, New ling
land Km made progress in wealth, learning, com-
merce, manufactures —she has enriched hers.dt
by the elave--trado. and uy other trades loss cruel
and nearly as profit *blv--but thftt cannot l-e call
ed “progress" in religion which has culminated in
the teachings of I’ahks.ii and Bkeciiek, nn.l
their followers, u ho openly assert thesuffieiency
of Man, and deny the divinity of the S.iv.or
Nor is this result at all surprising—ior in the con
tinual struggle to rvnde the e>.\ erity of the Blot
Laws and the intolerant spirit they entailed, ac.i
to circumvent outsiders in traffic, the popular
heart was gradually absorbed in material ob
jects,—and those hate finally sulaluod ail Hungs

The consequc no 1 of this pervading selfishness
will be Lhat session-rooms and vestries wi!i anon

purity of faith and righteousness of life are eu n

-aspirants to such solemn offices who may l»e'in
different in doctrine and careless in conduct can
be selected If they ouly hold to certain opinions
in popular affairs and if this “down-east" ma
terialism receives no rebuke, u will finally come
to piss that the qualifications ol the winning
stock-jobber, of the political intriguer and of
the church officer wul be synonymous.
Hut it may be ob.,reted that those ideas are ad
vanced, because, perchance, the writer may be
in a political minority. I beg to reply that
these articles have uniformly attacked political.
not partisan preaching. If a man goes to church
to hear a relit;w<is sermon, he should not bo forc
ed to endure a politi cal diatribe. Almost every
religious congregation is divided in polititai
sentiments, and the fulmlnat 1 on of politics from
the pulpit 19 sure to wound somebody. If a
preacher of the Methodist connection would to
hemently declare to his Hearers that „uc
trines and practices of Presby terianJctn were the
only means of salvation. >;«• would be guiltv
alike of a breach of -Curtesy and of contract
and would be finished for the insufferable m<!
rage by summary expulsion from his charge //.•
would offend his whole congregati on. The politi
cal preacher would Insult but half or perhaps
leas than half of his—this won Id I*> the only dif
ference between them.
In many parts of the loyal North, there are
neighborhoods where people who oppose the
ruling party largejy predominate. If these
folks should be misled into the dangerous notion
t>At their preachers must preach Metr politics,
what sad results would follow! But such un
pleasant things cannot occur if this lamentable
disposition to preach politics be frowned down
by the common effort of ail right-minded men
Let the statesman or the secular teacher be
warned to keep “hands off” from all the things
that pertain to the calling of the clergy. Ami
let the spiritual teacher constantly repel all at
tempts to embroil him in partisan or secular dt-**
P4tes. The greatest safety of his Bacred office—
the only hope of his extended usefulness, con
sists in hls'rlgid adherence to this course.
Working honestly and exclusively for the
generalgood in their respective spheres, the poli
tician and the preacher can promote the pe-uv.
progress and happiness of society. But woe to
the day when a clergyman, called to the death,
bed of a parishioner, shall Insist that he repen t of
assumed ■political errors before bis minister can
Afford religious aid and comfort! Woe tu the
day when ward meetings shall he addressed or
presided over by the clergy, and exhortations
From the pulpits shall be delivered or dictated
by popular or unpopular office-seekers'

New Bedford, Mass., Nov. 21, 1363.
Dkar Sir I have been afflicted many years
with severe prostrating cramps in my limbs, cold
feet and hands, and a general disordered system.
Physicians and medicines failed to relieve me.
While visiting some frieqds New Yodfc who were
using Plantation Bitters they prevalled.upon me
to try them. I commenced with a small wine
glassful after dinner. Feeling better by degrees,
in a few days I was astonished to find the cold
ness and cramps had entirely left me, and I could
sleep the* night through, which I had not done
for years. I feel like auother being. My appe
tite and strength have also greatly improved by
the use of the Plantation Bitters.
