It was delivered | by the Re . H. Richardson, who, he waa informed, vas ‘be man who had wichdrawn the memorial as of! ginally published, and amended it. He read an extract, in which it was said a minister is to receive the word at God's mouth, and proclaim it to the people, ant he was authorized by God himself, and in his name, to reprove rebuke, exhort, with all authority and doctrine.

One df them was as follows: Speaking of the | justification of the Nebraska bill by the compromise | measures of 1850, it says of Douglas, “Bat the trick of | hiding his transgression bohind the legislation of a former Congress was too law, too pitiful to have origi- | nated in the heart or head of any man not lost to sll | sense of honor, trath, and justies."? Such (said Mr. Douglas) was tbe character of the fifteen hundred or | two thousand sermons lately preached against the Ne- | braska bill throughout New England. This was a fair | example of them, and as clear from profanity and vul- | garity as the most of them. He said there was an or- onization to send to every minister in the free States for is signature to the memorial against the Nebraska bill, | and ie was rejoieed to see so few had abandoned their | sacred duties by reeponding to it. This apoke well for the character of Christian ministers. He disputed the fairness of the course pursued by the mialsters in apeak- ing against the Nebraska bill on a day and in places where there vould be no reply made. He objected to making the Sabbath an electioneering dar and the occasion for stump specches. He then said—I say that the purity of the Christien Church, the purity of our holy religion, and the preservation of our free institutions, require that Church and State be soporte; that the preacher on the Sabbath day shall find his text in the Bible; shall | preach Jesus Christ, and Him crucified; shall preach ' the Holy Scriptures, and not attempt to control litical organizations and political parties of the day. undertake to say that this gentleman, im the sermon I have quoted, used language = to me which no ee oe use on this floor without written lown a blackguard, unworthy the association of geatle- men. He used language which he could not use in a | gentleman’s parlor, or in the presence of any friend of mine upon any street, or in any public built » You may search ell the indexes to te, and I doubt whether you can find an offensive et—one cither of calumny; of opprobrium, or of insult—whieh cannot be found in this political sermon. Hethen said he under- stood it to be the object to get up acrusade against his private chare.cter, to be used ions for the benefit of politicians. He referred to, as a significant fact, that in this sermon was quoted language used in the wddress sent forth by the abolition confederates in Congress to defeat this bill by getting up false clamor. He con- sidered those ministers who lent their names to this pur- a8 mostly the innocent tools and instruments of the commenced this war of defa- mation and slander og: would be tought to receive as well as to give blows. ‘The memorial wag laid on the table.
