It was by an outside pres- sure and the protest of agirieved minoritics that the Protestant Christian Clinrcl was led to renutrice the pravtice of religious perseention, ana that a partof it has ceased to advocate the anlon of Church and Btate; both of which auclent inatitutions were once regarded as necea- sary to the interests of religfon, bue arc now Tound to have been detrimental to it. 1 beg my evangelical brethern, therofore, not to add anather listorle fnstance of o atmlinr crror, thus tringing n needless odium on the ministry and the Church, For the attempt to maintain Bible-reading, ns a religious exercise, nuzalnst the protests of &mrenlu where religious kicasare thereby assalled, will certafnly prove a failure, for it {8 bpsed on no eafe and sclf-consistent principle which will abide discussion, amd {t {8 opposud to tho genfus of our American sysiem 0a to tho relation of the State to religion. ™ The laymen will seperate on it from the clergymoen, ifthe latter still insist upon it, nud it wnI gradually loso city after iy, county after county, and ~ State after Slate. 1 can convince of few grenter mortitlea- tions and injurics to tho Cliristian causo than tu have it thus manifestly put in tho wrong, through what will appear to the world to be the blindness of pride and:the heat of prejudice, That was_the mischlef tn Connectient, in the struggle described by Dr, Beechier. The great majority of the churches of that State wero Congregational, and did not wish to relinquish their superlor legal advantages by a change in the Coustitution'and the Inws i favor of the cquality of all religious denomiuntions. The Democtats espoused the other side, aud under their standard all the malcontents, religlous and 1rrullf;luun, rallicd in a motley crowd—a fact which only confirmed the Congregational minfeters of the thne fn thelr sell-righteons error. The nutnlllozi',mplny of Dr. Beechier says (1oy p. 802): “The Demoeracy, oa it rose, fn- cluded nearly all the midor sects, besides the Eabbath-breakers, rum-selling, llppllng folk, infidels, aud rufiscufl gcnurullrr, and _made o dead-sct upon the standing order.” The mis- fortune and disgrace were that the majority of the churches aud ministers were defending tho wrong prlum’&flu I tho name of God and re- ligion; and thelr defeat in such an uunecessar! issue ehtailed evil consequonces, which are felt in that State to the present duy. 1 warn you, brethren, lust In this matter you o guilty, un- wittingly, but not the less rcally, at vnce of o crime and o blunder—of u crime agalnst the equal rights of others, velled from your sight though it bo by plous intentions, and o blunder ns regirds your own future pusition aud Ine fluence. = Let us drop these seculnr crutches of civil support, and unite in o gennine spiritual policy which rests God's cauge on 1is own chosen in- strinentalitics for religlous work,—the family it the Church, aving removed from out ot the way of the unbollever the irritation caused Ly any seeming attempt to forve our rellgion nbon Bim, or upon his ehilaren, let us the nioro earnestly approach him and his family fu the epirlt ol luve, urging upon his attention the hlood-hought ealvation of Jesus Christ.

Rookronn, 1il., Sovt. &5.—Thedozen diiferent accounts that have uppeared in the Chicago papers {n respect to the Hurlbut-Lathrop Con- gresstoual fight has iduced your Rockferd cor- respondent to ke such inquiries in Winne- bago, MeHenry, and Boouo Countles ns ennble him to place before the readers of Tie TRIDUNE a tolerable accurnie sud Impartinl settiug- forthof the fight from the beginuing to the preaent stage. For six years the friends of Mr. William Lathrop, of Rockford, who were contl- dent of s tntegrity and conversuut with his ability, have luoked upon himn as o sultnble man to represent tho Fourth District in Congress,and to this end at every election they have worked falrly and honestly, In this work they have always met the opposition (as they have done this year) of thu muching politiclins, Fimst from the henchinen of Johm F. Farnsworth, who year after year salds “Gentlemen, if you will nominato e this time I will step on one side next election.”” But, like St. Patrick's to- morrow, Farnsworth’s “next election” never camo until 1872, when lie was AT LAST THHOWN OVERBOARD, and Gen. 8. A. Hurlbut was nominated. At that time Mr, Lathrop was a candflate, and his friends voted 89 times for him, untll it was ap- parent he could not be nominuted. The tenson fur this was slmply that Lathrop sald then, as he says to-dav, that he will uever make n promse of puhilc {muonngc to a living souly nefther will he obtain a seat in Cumgress by corrupt bargalning or in any other than an lionorable and u‘)rh;m wmanter. Hurlbut at this time was workini far John I, Furnswortl, a8 appeared from o letter written from Hurlbi to Furnsworth, expiessing deep regret that, in spite of his labors, Boone County had elected Luthrop delerates, and had **succeeded in pass- 11[:}: resolutions committing them agamst you s arnsworth). In this famous letter Hurlhut In- orined Farnsworth that ¢ Ifildrup and Wil aro for sule. Buy them §f you can.” Thet eral also announted bis {nténtious to devots rest of his life to s U RILLING VERMIN," meaning Gen. Fuller, Hildrup, and others, who hiad worked to seeure the clection of Lathrop delegates, This s merely glven for the purpose of shuwinz iow the nomination was abtalued from Mr. Lathrop, who positively refused to do n single dishonorablo thing ™ to galn tho honor, Tn this way Gen. Hurlbut was gladly taken in placo of Farnsworth, whom the peopls had Tearned to look upon with grent dlstrust. That Mr. [urlbut hae made an eficlent member of Congress, his enemics will not deny; but, for all that, he Is eharged with baslugalwiys Identl- fled himself with the worst etement of his par- L}r. and not with the Reform side of the Haouse. However, the Republican voters of our district, hoping for the best, again nominated Mr. Iurl- but In 1874, when, to thelr astonishiment, they found hehad Iustdm party 7,500 votes in thedls- trict, and the llepresentative of the glorious old Fourth District, that had_rolled up Its 14,000 mujority, scrambled {nto_Congress with a ma- Jority of 1,600 over the Democratic candliinte, and Ehat be had actually lost Kane and DeKally Countles, and came very near foslng Mcllenry. THE REAL QUESTION, Shorn of all verblage, the question with those who had the interost of the party at heart was simply this: * Is it safe to rin a man who thus reduced the majority 1" The hetter vluas of Republicans, hundreds’of whom had stayed away Irom the polls, eooncrthanvote for flurlhut, came to the frunt, and again put forward Mr, Luthrop, In this, however, they were, it is claimed, un- falrly headed off by flurlbut, whose friends callerd eaticuses to tominate delegutes to the District Convention months before the Conven- tlon was culled, which i8 a phase of tho case that the Iepublican Contral Committee had better cunslder, as well a8 the subsequent unfortunate developments, A Jittle fizht was _gotten up__in Boono County between Iildrup and Tlurlbut, which ended in six_delegates be- g appeinted to a convention tuat had never been ealled, When the Convention was called they found too many delecates had been ¢l cdy and then followed a disputo ss to who should be the four. Hurlbut's livme organ, the Staudard, was ns much confused gabout these delegates ns Artomus Ward was ru relation to the kcx of Jeft Davis, and that paper spoke of the delegates ns alx **as frekent os otherwlse.” ‘Thia was the tirat blunder, SUIENRY COUNTY CONVENTION. Winnebago County held its Conventlon imme- «liately ufter the call'of the Distifet Conventlon, "There wos not a dissenting voles in the whole county,—Democrits, Reformers, everybody, put ol one ildu{mrumn feoling and went {n for Luthrop. Where he was known best, there he was the strongest, ‘Then eume Mellenry Coun- ty, which was clearly and honorably carried for Mr. L:\tllrnf), hut wiiteh the muching politizlans, it 18 alleged, managed to corruptly capture for Gen, Hurlbut, As elected, there were 73 dele ates for Lathrop and 75 for Hurlbut: white 25 telegates (from Nunda and Algonquin) wers cantested, und could uot vote on- orgenization, Thero was & two luurs' contest on the Commit- teeon Credentlals, whien flnslly the matter was 1eferred to the Convention. ” It wes evident that TN LATIROP DELEGATES should hiave been admitted from tho contested towns, but adl questions of rlght and wrong were lost wlght of, and (t hreame o question of strength between: Lathrop and Hurlbut partl- sans, 'The towus all voted, and, ou fuoting upyit was evident thut the Luthrop delegutfon from Nunda way admitted by three majority; but, Just before the vote “wus —sunounc the ctegatton from Richmond (one of the strongest Lathrop towns in the county), amid liooting und yelling, changed thele 14 Votes to the otlicr slde, thus mlmmlnrtlm Iurlbut delo- gotlon from Nunda by elght majority, Of courso this decided it, und the Ilnrlbui' from Al{mnquln were apeedily admitted, the Hurlbut wien thus gained control of the Conventlon. Loud charges of having been tampered with were mado agzatnst the Richmond delegation, who thus yoted in direct opposition to tho known sentiments of thelr town. Ine structlons In favor of (en.

It will thus boscen that Hoone Connty wos captured by Hurlbut in o munnertotally forelim to the usages of the party, and that tho taking of McHenry County waos done by o strategen na questionuble as 'the original “nomination ot Hurlbut In 1872, McHenry County was ungues- tlunubly for Witliam Lathrop. Thu sccond dels cgatfons from Nunda und Algonquin would have been admitted Into the County Conven- tlon it Justico and fair-play had been allowed, which would have made tha voto on the Instruc- tions stand just the veverse—Lothrop, 1043 Hurlbut, 77" In DeKolb County the sams flght ‘touk place, and it was an underatood fuct that cvery vote for Duvine was a voto for Hurlbut, whily a vote for Iarrington was a vote for Lathrop—Lathrop currled the duy, THE KANE COUNTY FIOHT. There then only remulned Kane County, For a thmo the seat of war wus located here, “princl: pally In Aurorn. ‘The same men wero arrayed aalnst Latbrop—all the oflice-holders and the oflice-seekiers, There sees Hitls doubt bt Hurlbut biad s mnjority of the delegutes, but they liad certalnly no right to compluin becauss the minority howdwinked them, whea they had served Latlirop the same trick in both Doone ol Melenry, Thers could be no falrer way of settling this” dispute than in the way the Cone vention did—by dividing the delegates—and fn dolng su there” 18 not o living soul who would deny that the fecling wus very much divided, all over the county, Munifestly the 13 delegates ap- polnted after the Convention by I’l’ll(lbula oflice-liolders, hod no clubm for adintssion futo the Elgin Convention, TUB BLGIN CONVENTION, But during tbe whols of tuls time, My, men and Lathrop was not bgey writing letters sugesting “ who wna for sale™ and pdyising that this man 4 should he bought,” and all that sort of thlnF. Ho was at home, at the bedside of two sick chil- dren, one of whom dled two weeks ago. IHo knew nothing and less nbout Congreasional ' Tonors; his -~ high position and nflucnce as one of the best and most honored law- yers In the State was sufllcient honor for him, which, with the knowledge that where he woa known best ho was beloved most, made him contented with his lot. In the meantime tho Eflln Conventlon convened. What were the relations of Mr. Lathrop to that Convention? After somo difllculty and the foollsh withdrawal of 11 delegates, who _had 1L In thelr power to have named the next Congressman, Mr. Lathrop was nominated by tho remainin delegntes (0, handsome majority of the Convention, No sanic man conld cunastently say Mr. Lathrop was reaponalble for the actlon’'of men who were not representing bim, as his agents, but who wera representing the people of Kaue, DeKalb, and Winuncbaggo Counties, ad the aim of the Mctenry and Roono County delegates been the defeat of Mr, Lathrop, of the good of the Republican party, they would have most decldedly stayed in the Convention.
