RADICAL CLERGY.

Politic* In Sondajr Schooh—J. Q. A. Cmykefl and (fee Bo/ who Forgot his ye- Prajren.

I From the i0CM (Ohio) Gaiette.} EDITOR GAZETTE An article appeared in the columns of your journal of December 9th, 1870, on tha subject of Political Prcachiog,"' and comntcutiog specially on the late Thanksgiving discourse of one of the 1 Bellefontaine clergymen.

It is a matter of surprise that the political prcaching of late year* is not oftener publicly criticiscd and de nounced. All who desire the restoration of peace and harmony in the church will unite with "Jimice" in condemning a coursc which has a tendency to drive out, and keep out of tbe pale of the church, all the niern bers of one of the political parties which composes about one half of the population of the country. Wc do not charge all the clergy with having mors interest in the Radical 0 party than in the church of Christ 1 There ih fitill a remn'ant ("divided in political sentiment) who are striving to preaoh God'* gospel in its purity.

But every candid observer must admit that a majority of them arc too active in politic* to be useful in the church. They are prompt in attend ance at every Radical caucus or convention, whother the nomination be for Congressman or village Councilman, and often support the worst man in their party for nomination—and ant/bodv at the polls who may be the candidate of their party. Having become enlisted in politics, they easily drift Si with it from the polls to the pulpit.

A preacher has tho same right to ad vocate and vote his political sentiments as anybody else. Wc can meet him on the stump, on the street, or at the polls, but he has tho advantage when ho,fires at us from the pulpit. How unlike the venerable Dr. Alexander, of Princeton, who said he had not cast a vote for twdoty-five years, "lest it might offend and how unlike the Apostle Paul, who would not even eat meat, lest it caused brother offense. Tho evil influence of the political parson" was experienced a short time since, in a neighboring county, by the mother of a bright-eyed little boy. The bulletin boards announced the coming of a theater, in flaiuing posters, to cntice and allure the young. "Little Eddie" was all excitement on the subject of going to tho promised enter tainment. "No! So, my son good peoplo don'tgo to theaters." Why, ma, President Lincoln tons killed in a theater, and our preacher said he was a great and good man, and had gone up into heaven." It has been deeply and feelingly taught by politicians, clergymen, and Sabbath school teachers, that the fjiirit of 31r. Lincoln immediately passed into the realms of un" speakablc glory, from the private box in Ford's Theater, where the fatal bullet did its sudden and murderous work.

The people have imbibed this teaching through the countless poems, sermons, and speeches. It is lamentable to odd that the corps of Sunday schoolbook writers have undertaken to incorporate this satno idea into their books. For example A little Sunday school book, lately published by a daughter of Professor Phelps, of Andover, thus refers to the current belief. In speaking of heavenly scenes

I wonder if Roy (a soldier who died without having joined the church) has seen President Lincoln ?—Aunt Winford says «he does not doubt it. She thinks all the soldiers must have crowded up to meet him and O she adds, what a glorious sight to see!" Wc ask if this is not blasphemy Happy spirits in heaven crowding up to meet—whom the Savior of their souls? No, Abraham Lincoln, who was not even a professor of religion, and who died in a theater The belief has sometimes been announced 4 from the pulpit that all the soldiers of the Union" army are in heaven.

And indeed, during the war, when recruiting was done in the churches when political harangues were substi tuted for the gospel of Christ, and war-songs for the melodies of Zion, the certainty of future bliss has moro than once been held out as an inducement to enlist in the sacred cause of tho Union and of freedom." Concerning the present condition of Abraham Lincoln, or the soldiers slain upon the battle-fields of the late war, or any other war, we can only judge by a knowledge of their inner lives. For "He that hath the Son, hath life and he that hath not the Son of Qod, hath not life

It is sometimes claimed by tho Radical clergy, that the exigencies of'the times ought to excuse the many ugly things they said during the war. It may next bo asserted that tho way of salvation, as clearly taught in the Bible, was temporarily suspended "daring the war." We advise and exhort parents to read carefully the Sunday sohool books and papers put into the hands of their childron, and to attend more diligently Jo home training.

The vast Sunday school movement —the children's church—has dropped its original characteristic feature as a missionary enterprise, and is being re* ccived as an easy substitute for the divinely appointed system of family inttruclion. We love the Sabbath sohool for the good it has done, and may yet do, if the managers can be induced to return to the good old times. There are many pions Christian men and women engaged in these schools, who desire, and onght to receive the sympathy, support and prayers of all Christian people. But while we approve the good, let the bad be condemned, whether in books or in teachers.

Daring the political campaign of 1868, a female teaoher pat her hands over the moath of a little boy on Maio street, Bellefontaine, and told him it sounded very ugly to hear a

little Sunday*4chool bvf hurrah Seymour." \Toa ttasi hurrah for Grant," she Mid. The boy coald not be induced to return to school the following Sunday, and his parents would not, and onght not to compel him to return to such a teacher, who is unfit for such a positiop either in Sunday or Union schools.

The child was instructed to "hurrah for Grant." who is not a professor of religioc, and who spends much of his time with fast men and horses, and smoking fine cigars and who has been charged by Rev. Tilden, Lieut. Gov. Stanton, and other high Radical authority, with drunkenness on several occasions while tVe character of Gov. Seymour, for morality and religion, is irreproachable.

Tbe following is cut from a late copy of the Bellefontaine Republican-. "A son of one of our farmers adjoining town, a little boy five years old, after repeated entreaties was per mitted to sleep up stairs with the hired man, one nirht. On coming down io the morning, his parents asked him if he faid his prayers on going to bed. He frankly answered he had not. 'Did Jim say his prayers?' was the next inquiry. Oh, no

1

replied the

little fellow, with the greatest sim plicity, he'* a Democrat! .*0 Mr. J. Q. A. Campbell, the author and publisher of the above, is Super intendent of a Sabbath school, and it is not difficult to tell where the boy got his training. We suppose the large and respectable denomination which placcd this bigoted Pharisee, Campbell, at the head of its school, will expect Democrats to rush frantically up with their children and put them under his tuition.

Those who chargo us with being opposed to Sunday schools, and with destroying the influeuce of the Christian ministry, because we expose their efforts to instill their politicai ideas into the minds of our children, are guilty of gross misrepresentation. It is their political and un christian influence we wish to destroy it has been too long submitted to. We only ask what we are entirely willing to grant to others—equal privileges in and out of the church. We again repeat, let faithful Christian teachers and preach ers be encouraged and liberally sup ported, but do not place means in the hands of the unfaithful to be used for our destruction.

The church owes a responsibility to the children who are members thereof by the ordinance of God, as well as to the children of families not reached by the ordinary ministrations of the gospel.- .•

But to allow the Sabbath school to supplant home instruction and training, is to run counter to the appointments of God, according to which He has promised to bestow his blessing.

Ordinances which the Lord has given are not supsceptible of improvement, even in the advanced civiliza tion of this nineteenth century.

The old ways, fragrant with the blessings of God for centuries past, are the channels through which His mcrcies continue to flow.

OBSERVER

MR. MORROW, of San Francisco, has invented a flying machine, shaped like a yacht, which is raised in the air by hydrogen gas and by wind-mill-wings, propelled bjT small steam en gines. Ho exhibited it Saturday before last at Woodward's Garden, in San Francisco, in the presence of four thousand spectators. Steam was raised in the miniature boilers and the oddlooking contrivance rose in the air, and held by ropes, sailed around successfully, propelled by the wings. Some vandal interrupted the experiment by cutting a hole in the gasholder with his pen knife. Mr. Morrow has invented, and will probably apply for a patent for a method by which he can combine the expansive force of air and water. He will attach the improvement to his apparatus. With the motive power as it now stands, he can fly, aud has flown, the ship against a strong wind, and with the additional power which the improvement will give, he expccts to be able to dispense with the gas-holder entirely, or by securing its more satisfactory working, to uso common- coal gjs of barely sufficient quantity to overcome the power of gravitation.

Christ and Socratcs—Rousseau's Celebrated Contrast. I acknowledge to you that the majesty of the Scriptures astonishes me, and the sanctity of the Gospel fills me with rapture. Look inlb the writings of the philosophers with all their pomp and parade how trivial they appear when compared to this sacred volume! Is st possible that a book so simple and yet so sublime, should be the work of man Is it possible that He whose history it contains should himself be a mere man,? Is the style that of an anthusiast or a sectary inflated with ambition What sweetness, what purity in His morals What force, what persuasion in his instructions! His maxims how sublime! His discourses how wise and profound Such presence of mind, such beauty and precision in his answers! Such empire over his passions

Where is the man or the philosopher, that knows how to act, to suffer, And to

die,

without weakness or osten­

tation? Plato, in his picture of the imaginary just man, covored with all tho opprobriousness of

guilt,

for*j before* Socrates had made the love of our eoantry a duty: Sparta was «obe* before Socrates commended sobriety before he had given a definition of virtue, Greece abounded in virtnoosmen. But of whom did Christ borrow that sublime and-pure morality which

and

worthy of every reward of virtue, gives us an exact representation of Christ so striking is the resemblance that all the fathers saw it, and indeed there is no possibility of mistaking it. What prejudice, what blindness, to compare the offspring of Sophronisca to the Son or Mary How immense the difference between the two Socrates, dying without pain and without ignominy, found it essy to support his character to the very last, and if his life had not been honored by so gentle a death, we might have doubted whether Socrates, with all his understanding, was anything, more than a sophist. You will say he invented a system of moral philosophy. Others had practised it before his time he only related what they had performed, and drew lectores from their example. Aristides had been just, before Socrates told us what justice was Leonidas had sacrifioed his life for his country,

He, and He only, taught both by word and example From the center of the most extravagant fanaticism the high* est wisdom made itself beard, and the vilest of nations was honored with the simplicity of the most lieroic virtues....The death of Socrates, philosophizing coolly with his friends, is the ,,s easiest that cm desired

The Universal Republic.

There are a great many Americans who believe that this is the only country iu the world fit to be a Republic. It is fuir to say that not a few of these same Americans are of the opinion that the Republic has been a failure here also, and expect that in course of time it will be superseded by'something of a different kind. But, at all events, they hold that the French in particular are unfit for a Republic, and the Spaniards and Italians are totally unfit for a Republic, and Germany and Austria are intrinsically unfit to be Republics. It is possible these persons may forget that there were several excellent and long-lived Republics in the world many years before Columbus discovered the continent on which the American Republic exists. There were Greek Republics, free and heroic, which endured for centuries. There was the Roman Republic, broad-based and powerful, which lasted from the downfall of the kings to the time of the

Dutch Republic and the English Republic of CROMWELL, are also facts and part of history. The Re public of Switzerland has weathe»d the storms of time, and exists to-day in freedom and independence. There were, and are at this day, several free Continental Governments which differ but little from Republic.1*-

It is true that the Repub'ics of ancient times and the Repu cs of Mediaeval times broke down last but so did the kingdoms, Empires and despotisms of ancient and mediaeval times and therefore the fact docs not argue Bgainst the "fitness" of nations to be Republics, any more than facts argue against their "fitness" for monarchy, or imperialism, or despotism or Caasarsm.

Not a few of the most intelligent, prosperous, cultivated and elevated nations of history have been Republics. It is not at all impossible that some of the great and enlightened European nations of modern times may also become peaceful and longenduring Republics, if circumstances should permit their establishment under proper conditions. f..-t

In reference to the establishment of a Republic in France, an able writer lately said:

The truth is that the French, as a nation, arc exceedingly immature having some abstract notions of liberty rather than the moral qualities without which liberty cannot thrive unable to submit long to tyranny, but bound to administrative institutions and traditions, which are the ever-ready auxiliaries of tyranny difficult to manage by force, but easy to lead by the secret appliances of statecraft. And this is the reason why all well-wishers ought to encourage the new trial France is going to make out of Republican institutions. A Republicjis the form of government which, 'excluding the private ambition and dynasticai selfishness of rulers, would most surely leave the French to the free developement of their genius. They have always hitherto been governed it is time that they should learn to govern themselves, to th'.nk for themselves, to inaugurate among them the reign of public opinion. When this happens, no nation, I am convinced, will be found more pacifically disposed, because none is more accessible to general and generous ideas, to considerations of justice and humanity."

THE Union Pacific Railroad Company have just completed their wharf at San Francisco. It is 11,000 feet long, running out to a depth of twenty feet at low tide, and of thirty-two feet at high tide, having twelve railroad tracks upon its last 1,000 feet,"a wide"carriage-way, a spacious passenger depot and railroad offices, ware houses, and outside storage for 40,000 tons of grain or other merchandise, and three docks, one of which affords ample space for five of the largest steamers or clippers afloat.

A Hottr 8P*ISGS (Miss,) paper relates a Damon-and-Pythias-like case of friendship, and its consequences. It says:*' "At the Circuit Court in Tunica county, last week, a negro was tried for hog-stealing and acquitted. He was immediately placed on the jury, taking the place of a negro who had been on the jurj that tried him. The negro whose plaee had been taken by the hog thief, was then put upon the stand and tried far hone-stealing. Of course the hog thief returned the compliment, and voted for the acquittal of the horse thief." Touching, wasn't it?

HOSE

lJfat

whole people, is the most dreadful

in the most exquisite torture, prays for his bloody executioners. Ye*, if Socrates livrd and died like a philosopher, Christ livt'd and died like a God.

Shall we say that the evangelical history was invented at pleasure My friends, inventions arc not made after that manner, and Socrates' history, of which nobody entertains any doubt, is not so well attested as that of Christ. Upon the whole, it is removing the difficulty further back, without solving it for it would be much harder to conceive that a number of men should have joined together to fabricate this book, than a single person should furnish the subject to its authors. Jewish writers would never have fallen into that style, or that system of morality and the gospel has such strong ami such inimitable marks of truth, that the inventor would be more surprising than the hero.

Hoofland's German Tonic

Was compounded for those not inclined to extreme bitters, and is intended for use in cases when some alcoholic stimulant 'is required in connection with the Tonic properties of the Bitters. Each bottle of the Tonic eontains one bottlo of the bitters, combined with pure Santa Cruz Rum, and flavored in such a manner that the extreme bitterness of the Bitters is overcome forming a preparation highly agreeable and pleasant to tie palate, and containing the medicinal virtues of the, bitters, Tho price of the Tonic is $150 per bottle, which many persons think too high.
