The ob- ject of this mevement was, the expectation that the government at Washington would be influenced in their negotiations with England, about the Oregon territory, so that the matter would be settled in | some way, without a resort being had to ultimate measures. We consider this a most impertinent interference of the clergy, in matters with which they have no right to connect themselves; and we rather think, that if the clergy would mind their own affairs, and let the Oregon and all other political questions re- main in the hands of those who were selected by the people to manage them, they would do the country more service than they can possibly hope to achieve in any other way. This interference of the clergy in questions of State, must be frowned down, no matter in what Tespect it is proffered. We do not pay them to act as politicians—we elect our agents to transact all affairs of State, and pay preachers to attend to their business. When a minister leaves the pulpit, and comes down into the political arena and identifies himself with political questions, he at once forfeits his clerical character and loses influence among his jock.
