Wjjl. friend, thee has taken upon thee to preach:; Jesus-.Christ, otir must holy Saviour, and thee says thee wa.s xadlei ia this work; and thee is publishing a political paper. Well dont : object to that,: Jesus Christ taught us the best politics the world has ever known, and I think those who teach Christ's doctrine, ought to teali. politics ahd must, if they preach the reaching 4that; be bdis them. I have no doubt but; that Batair, aud iiis party, who want to have every thing their own u ay, object to thee,.a minister, hav-i ing any thing to do with "the dirty waters of politics.'' ; If the waters, of politics are "dirtyx ought they not to be purified, and ought not the teachers of Christ's latf to try and do it- And thou art working an a .good cause too, L like the cause, thee advocates : ;I , aiu with thee, and now I hope thee will hear me. ,r am more afraid that thee, will defim "the"wa- ters of politics' with thy ficsby spiri,than I am of thj' meddling with the dirtj . wafers. -1 want thee to remember thy calling, ami. to re member what Jesus says thee must be, when thee writes for thy paper. , 1 fear thee does not do this. Thee manifests a bad spirit to wards thy neighbor of the Gazette, and calls him hard names and speaks very -contemptuously of liiui. This thee did. not learn from thy Master. Will thee look at some of thy remarks, in thy editorials about "Theo. Wright & Co." Remember, friend", the wrath of man worketh not the-praise of God. Paul says, "A bishop must bo llandczs, sober, good behaviour, apt to' teach, no striker, hut pa- I tient, r.ol a brairler. 1 Tim. 3 : 2. o, :;r.d again, "The serrx-fiicf the' L-r.l mast .c strive, buf be gentle iii-i aJLwcr., rrpt tc tench, paiea!, in ineeknciiS instructing those 1U.tt oppose them-s- Ives, if God, peradventure will give theni repentance to the acknowledging of the truth '--2 Tim. 2': 24, 2".- Again, "A bishop must be blameless, as the Stewart-, of God.,- not self willed, nor soo7i ungry-r-no striker" Tit. 1 : 7. Of the Great Teacher, it was sail, "lie shall not strive, nor civ, neither shall any man her.r his voice in tho streets." Now frijiid, I have given thee the highest authority (thee, knows we protvjstaiits appeal tu too Bible-as the only, rule) for condemning thylieshly spirit. Would . Theo. Wrignt & Co., re eivc the gosmi from thee, after thee-has called tiiemsuch hard na,iiics Thets says thee, is-.a, minister of the. gospel, called of God to preach it. . .If. thee was the only one, it there was no' o'tlser to preicli the gospel to Theoii: Wright' Ik Co.; would thee not be the' means,'1 indirectly, of their damnation? '-. .? . ; . Aud does thee not set a very lrad . cxaiaple to all thy readers also? ' Will they" hot tiiii-.k the way to 'treat an enemy, is to say the bit terest things against them that they can, just as thee doei,? , Is thy example for good :Ar tliy bitter words excited because thy Hunter, or- thee has been spoken against; (.-an ttiee not lenvc it to thy Master to avenge the hard words spoken against thyself I Receive my 'council, I am one of thy number, and love th.ee ..es pecially what i see good in thee. . I approve thy general cause, and the object thee aims at, but 1 would have thce-tnond thy manner and do, what thee does do, in love. I have no sympathy with those who say that "ministers", have no right to meddle with politics. (Thee knows I approve not altogether of a paid min istry, and if any man will agree to preach to a people for so much, and, to avoid giving of fence to them, arid to fulfill tho'- duties of his contract, will lay otl' his own individual re sponsibilities, and obligations . to the law of God, as he would his coat, when he goes to chop wood, and will cease to think, and speak and act for himself in politics, and on ruin, and slavery, aud Rome, as God may give him light and conscience, I despise him above all creatures upon Gods earth, and he is the most abhorable thing God ever made; but if lie is a whole man, full four quarters of a man, free to think, speak and.Taet, : independent. of all restraint but ( kls law, refusing to be bound by any other rule than God's' revealed will, I li'onor thaf man- as God's " noblest workman ship. Though men mav give him thousands for preaching, he; dont preach for pay, but out of tne fullness of his own heart and con science.) God ha but one la'.v for" ministers anb people (they are all people, I take it) ahd they are as much bound to lie patriotic as oth ers and to seek the good of all men by secur ing "righteous laws, as in giving . alins, and ministering to their wants. ' " ' But I cannot run oiit these ideas now." ' Do thy duty, thy vcliolc duty, and then thee will do it in the right manner, and with the right spirit also. Let me refer thee to the Journal and Republican of our county. ' They are as hostile in xolitics as thee and the Gazette are. The editors are not ministers, they dont eveu pretend lobe religions, yet they are gentleman ly and courteous, and do not tight as tbee.does. I am thy friend, Zi-nrKiui.

Nowhere, exeept perhaps in Spain and the' iitors' retired districts1 of;' Italy, have the priests taught, unorp extravagant, fables. He gives the following examples : "There is, near Brussels, a place: much renowned for its pilgrimages. At certain appointed seasons, thousands of people go-thither from ail the provinces of Belgium. They walk upon their knees around the altar, and so numerously that the marble pavement is worn hollow.
