Politicians ana Preachers.

There is at the present day a certain class of politicians who are very restive undci the preaching of the Gospel and who bitterly denounce every minister that darc-s to speak of their depravities and immoralities as the Bible would have them. These ministers generally touch them in tender places, expose their miserable demagogueism, and hold up their moral obliquities to the detestation of all pure and honorable men. Thev feel tho power and the truth ol uie Gospel bearing down upon them, they feci it as a sword piercing them asunder, and have not the manliness, nor tho moral oitii to acknowledge their errors and desist from evil, but giving away to vile passion, they turn upon the ministers and endeavor to destroy the power of their preaching by denouncing them as "itinerant vagabonds,'• as hypocrite in disguise, as wolves shceps clothing going about for the accomplishment of evil and malicious designs.

If ministers would preach soothing and pleasant words to these political infidels, plaster them over with tho idea that they were the pure and genuine patriot*, the ntble dependents cf noble sircspnot a little loner, hut a li'tle higher than angels, whose acts were dictated ly the most exalted patriotism, the jntrat jdidcaithroj-y, and the highest. morality, then would they sit and listen vilh the utmost complacency and exclaim, glorious ministry, what would the worv.i lb? or do without you, no words too honeyed to bestow upon them, fast and fum would they bo in their friendship. But when they come "with the torch of truth, the candle of the Lord, searching out and exposing to the gaze of the world their detestable arts and impositions on the peop when they come thundering "thus saita the

Lord" in their ears, then is the venom their hearts stirc-d, then do their vile and angry passion £nd vent in the low and vulgar language of the exposed and convicted demagogue, and they .seek to destroy tne influence of the minister, lest their own political sun may go down into menleu

oblivion. ,, Ministore who would prcacli to sv.it tl.o. feelings aad^ opinion of these mode™

demagogues, who would pass in silence their gross violation of moral law and give none other than their exposition of the Bible would soon blot out the light of truth from tho world and diffuse an infidelity as dark and unscrupulous and fearful as that of France which burnt the Bible, abolished the Sabbath and then worshipped as Deity the Goddess of Reason.

These demagogues deem themsclve amply qualified to instinct ministers as to their high and responsible duties, but ministers are not, at the peril of their standing utter a thought as to the morals of politicians or express their opinions on any of (he great questions which involve the welfare, the glory and honor of our country.

Like the Pope of Rome whoso influence thev court, tlicy would become not only the political rulers but the spiritual guides of the people.

It is a matter of gratulation that power yet dwells with the people

which

will be

brought to bear opon such demagogues, and indignation will yet be thundered in their ear.

ABOLITIONISTS.

The State Sentinel, the leading organ of the Old Liners in this State, keeps up a perpetual howl of Abolitionism, which is caught up and re-echoed by every county organ and every Old Line orator, both great and small, throughout the State. Although the word has lost its terrors, it may be well to look back and see how the matter stands with those who are now so ready to charge it upon others. in the Journal of last week we published the resolution of the District Convention of 1840, which nominated the Hon. J. E. McDonald for Congress. AN will now give a few specimens on the same subject and first, In January, 1849, the Old Line State Convention, which assembled at Indianapolis, passed unanimously tho following resolution, as reported by the committee on resolutions:

Yv. J. BROWN.

Hon. DAVID WU.MOT. On the Idlh of 'December, 1849, Mr. Brown wrote the following letter to a member of the Indiana Legislature

WASHINGTON CITV, Dev. 13, 18 fO. DHAU *****—We arc literally overniu by Southern chivalry. For one 1. can't stand it any longer. PASS TEE Y\ iLMOT PROVISO, AND WE WILL STICK IT TO OLD ZACK. The Free soilcrs will vote for no Southern man for Speaker, and the Southern fanatics refuse to vote for any one who can get the I' roe sod vote. To-day has been spent in discussing I lie propriety of dissolving lite Union. The debate has been warm and angry, and God knows when and where it will end.....

Yours, V\ J. RUO\sr. The following is an extract from a letter of Mr. W. J. Brown to the aslungton Union, of December 12ih, 18-10: "1 have always taken the open ground that Congress should not interfere with the institution of slavery in the District of Columbia without the. consent of the inhabitants. If Congress posscscs tho power to abolish slavery in the District, and the people consent, no one should ooject. "One thing our Southern Democralic friends should remember—that in the Norih the sentiment against the extension of slavery almost universal and if we are required to become the advocates of its extension, our places will be filled with

Whigs." "1 was called a Calhoun soutnern men— advocated the doctrines of the Cass Nicholson letter, with le exception of ms views as to the constitutional [-0wer Ot Congress to legislate for the Territories. Tnatpow-^ er 1 have never doubled Congress p°sscsncd-

Immediately after his letter to the Abolitionists, he used the following language in a letter to tho Sentinel: "But the time has come when lire North will no longer bow the neck to the SI.AVEOCT.ACY of the South. I AMDO.C, IJ. ohe cannot be satisfied wiin a moueiate conservative support, but you mu^t .become the defender of her institution^: you doubt or falter, you are denounced as a traitor, and with a lordly arrogance you arc told that they will DISSOLVE THE UNION."

We merely give these extracts to prove wdiat a political weather-cock Mr. Brown has been and still is, and to snow tnac no dependence whatever can be pi need in him. He now endeavors to brand others with the very creed and 'platform.upon wnit-hhe anu. his party stood for years.

/CSrSee the advertisement of Messrs. BALL & HOOVER, who have purchased the Tin-Shop of Cumberland & Manson. Ihcy are superior workmen, and warranty their work 1 be of the best quality. A\r#do not believe better mechanics are to be found the State of Indiana. Give lliem a call.

The Old Liners, Sectional. The only thoroughly and trnly sectional party now in the United States, is the Old Liners, who still make pretensions to democracy. They have stricken from their creed (if creed they have,) every thing national in its character, and have become the slavish advocates of the slave power of the South. Overlooking the great interests of the North and of freedom, overlooking and disregarding the true principles of liberty, the whole power of their party organization in favor of extending the "peculiar institution" over territory now free to the enclusion of all the freemen of the North. They are aware of the fact that the great mass of our Northern citiscns cannot and will not live beneath the curse of slavery

our Southern friends desire to cseapc from it they are fully aware that to extend .slavery into free territory is a virtual and actual exclusion of all Northern men from those territories, yet would they move heaven and earth in favor of its extension, having removed already all barriers which heretofore checked its progress.

Tho People, the true national party, would have ail men both North and South go into those territories on perfect equality. Let all go with their hogs, their horses, their cattle, their sheep, and their own hands with Avhich to labor, then none can complain it will be true democratic, republican equality, but if Senator Douglas or Jesse D, Bright be permitted to remove their slaves to those ten itories, every live of whom equals in representation three white men, is it not giving them the advantage, or rather will it not exclude the poor white room an who cares nut to be placed side by side with the degraded slave

The Old Liners would exclude tho North and freedom and engraft slavery—the People in the spirit of true nationality, standing upon the Constitution, and clinging to the Declaration of Independence, would exclude slavery and give free range to freedom and to freemen.

Death of Br. Berry.

We deeply regret to announce the death of our young friend Dr. BERRY, of Middletown, who had commenced life under circumstances so auspicious. His illness was of short duration. He died on Saturday morning, the 12th inst., at the residence of Mr. Ellis, in Middlelown, and was buried at this place on Sabbath last, in the Odd Fellows burying-ground with the honors of Odd Fellowship. The Sons of Temperance and Templars were also in attendance. A more extended and particular notice with an obituary will be published hereafter. i^rWo invite the attention of our read-

Steam Engines, at the city of Indianapolis. We understand their work to bo of superior quality and finish, equal in every respect to Eastern work. The citizens of Indiana should never go beyond the limits of our State for articles of this kind, when they can be so conveniently secured. Enterprise and energy thus directed developing the mineral wealth of our State, deserve and slioidd receive the most liberal patronage.

We commend this Company to all who niav need articles in their line.

Indiana Items.

Cp.ors.—The North AYestern Argus, of Putnam county, says that wheat, oats and hay, have been abundant in that region— wdicat being an average and oats and hay are an unusually good crop. It adds in reference to corn.

The want of ram makes our cornfields look bad, and the present prospect is that the crop will be under the average. Many think, or pretend to think, of a failure, but we are by no means ready to credit these croakers." Our corn crop never has failed and will not this year where the husbandman has done his duty in season.

A correspondent of tne Bedford Standard, writing from Greene county, says that the drouth in that and adjoining counties has continued so long and intensely that corn is scalded, and in many places will not make anything. At the best, it will not be a half crop.

The Spirit of the AYcsi published at Columbus, in, probably, the heaviest com corn growing portion of the State, says the corn will not yield more than the third of a crop. Potatoes and other vegetables arc short, but fruit abundant.

The Roekvill Republican (Park county) speaks of the wheat, oats and hay in very much the same terms as the Argus, but adds in reference to the great staple

The farmers, however, entertain great fears of the corn crop. They represent (hat it is almost totally burned up by the o-reat heal and drought, and let it rain as much as it will, there will not be more than a half a crop, if that.

Jf.£rAYe condense the following account of the late riot in St. Louis from the Intelligencer of the 8th. It says

About five o'clock, a quarrel occurred at or near the Fifth AVard polls, in which an Irishman stabbed an American this was the signal for a general attack.

Pistols were freely used, stones flew in every direction. The drinking houses on Morgan and Greene streets and AVashington avenue, and on the whole front of the Levee, from Cherry street to below Locust were more or less injured. In the whole block on Morgon street between Main and the Levee, there is not on either side, a drinking house of which the front is not entirely destroyed, as far as it is capable of destruction, and in many instances, tho houses are riddled and the furniture broke to atoms.

The crowd supplied themselves with axes and other implements of the sort, from the steamboats at tho wharf and with them beat in the shutters and smashed the counters, and every thing that would yield to blows. On the levee, between Cherry and Locust, there are only one or two houses at most, that do not bear disastrous marks of the conflict at Locust street the damages stopped.

The .number reported to have been killed was four or five, but many more wero wounded. AYoundcd men were constantly borne up from the Levee, to Broadway, during the time of the fight and such terror reigned in the neighborhood that the stores qix Droaii-.vay and fourth for some distance down were closed, and remained closed during the afternoon and evening.

The military was called out to protect the office of the German paper which had been attacked once or twice, and to disperse the mob. The Intelligencer says:

AVe found the Levee, at 10 o'clock alalmost entirely deserted, except for knots of Irishmen, who certainly manifested no riotous disposition. AN hilst Ave were engaged in surveying the scene of distinction a shot or two 'lired at the distance of a quarter from where we stood, sent these men flying along the Levee like frighten-

Ten arrests had been made at the time the account closes. The sum of the injury done is thus given by the Intelligencer

On Morgan and Green streets, extending west from Broadway, not an Irish Grocery is left, ail being torn to pieces, and the houses more or less injured. A frame row at the nortnwest corner of Fifth and Greene suffered severely, the weather boarding being split and torn by stones, and all the windows and d.oors smashed in. At a late hour when it was deemed safe for persons to pass along the rioutous district, we turned out for the purpose of procuring & list of the houses' and their location, but found such a multitude on the streets named, that we were compelled to give it up for a more seasonable hour. At a rough estimate there is not less than fifty or sixty houses, chiefly Irish doggeries of the lowest order, badly damaged, and their contents destroyed. To. estimate the loss we arc unable, but should guess it not much short of 850,000. All this, beside tho murder and maiming, was tho work of but a few hours. The police force was entirely insufficient, and for nearly three hours the excited multitude had full sway. After the appearance of the military comparative order was restored, but up to the hour of going to press this morning, there was small squads moving here and there, but apparently without ability to do further mischief.
