A minister of the f, blessed gospel of the Son of God, a minister j ,] in the Statu of Connecticut?a minister, we ! w are sorry to say, who inhoiits the uamo of ?

We tj havo not so learned Chiist. If this is the religion of the gospel, the love, the forbearance of the meek and lowly Jesus, then [ ^ frankly we confess that wo have never felt r| one emotion of the Saviour's lovo! Not one. j yi * If Mr. Winslow's spirit is religion, we have ' ~ not the faintest conception of what religion is. And wo do not wish to have; we would a| not, for ten thousand worlds, put our own (, soul, or the soul of our worst enemy, on 1 a V the platform of such a religion as this man ' w preaches, with the expectation that this re- ' tj ligion would save that soul! ., Nor do wo expect to reach him or any of , r< the gunpowder divines by these words. Hut we know tbcro are many who have not yet bowed the kneo to Dual; many who ^ still say and love to say with that gloiious ^ preacher of olden limes, "the weapons of ^ our warfare are not carnal," and to thom wo speak. Brethren, pray for these dclu j, dod, misguided men. I'rav for these niiu- V( isters who have forgotten the words of Him n ho said, "My ki ugdom i? not of tit s world." , J! Pury for tlieso preachers who fcarh that ritles arc belter than Bibles, and that gun powder is good for the lambs of Christ. ^ Do not he disgusted and driven away r, from all hope, for even these linlf-denreutod t] men may be yet found sitting at the foot of Jeims, clothed and in their right mind. ? They are now, to all intents and pm poses, ?| beside themselves. Much excitement has made ihciu mad; fearfully and wonderfully ^ rtifld?Yet, their cose is not hopeless. l\r- vv hap* their fierceness will consume itself, l( and leave them cool the sooner. t Bui to what n wretched pass *? have w coiue, when thu men who are sent fur the \ ^ defence of the Gospel, thus trample iu ho- ^ !y principles under their feet, and bid deli | ol ance to the whole system of the Christian t| religion. It is not for a wonder that the General Association of Vermont unanitnous- w ly declare and lament that "the external , , and agitating questions of the age ha\o ' jj diverted ns. from Hi ten lion to per&oual pietv, ! ^ from duty in our closets and families, and ij from direct individual efforts to save soul*.' A hi there's the trnth. l'llt sackcloth on jn your heads, ye political preachers, ye uiin- ! jsterial agitators, ye worldly divines, and [( go down into the dust of humiliation ! ( The same minister of sulphur and saltpefre, Mr. Wioslow, goes on to say: w "\Yc are simply a body of ministers, an ll Ic have a l irdil to act as we sea tit. A ini'-ar - p - - ? ^ - -- ?1 able politician c:u? g?j into a row, and, by 1 bis intluenec, gel fifty votrs. Another, |j with his ruin, can buy up fifty Irishmen.

In this declaration wo hjive the plu-iioni ^ enon explained; we oi-o why tin* preacher j becomes the politician. It is the lust of |?>wer. Mr. Window rays the politician j. can get filly voice, the runu'ller can got {| fifty votes, nnd I intend to go into the pul 1 . pit aud get fifty votes! lie will use the I ?| pulpit iw the politician does the stump, and (( 111c trader does the iinn?to yet voles' And j ibis is his idea of the object of the pulpit I jj and the gospel! But he inisorahly mistakes ! ^ bis Master's will who thus prostitutes his | | high calling. Ho proves beyond all ques- ,, tion that he is either totally unfit to he call- ^ cd a minister, or he has fallen fioiu his ( first love, become worldly aud carnally ( minded, and is in danger of making ship w w reck of his mind and srttil. The Rev. Mr. Tyng, in Philadelphia, of ^ the Episcopal duiioiiiination, saw fit to make his pulpit tho platform for a political ^ ofation, a Sabbath or two since. Home of his parishioners rcse *ud left the house, and one gentleman called him to order, re- jj numstrnting against the descciation of the C( house of God. Wo understand that the (| vestrv of his congregation have since un- \\ animoiialy protested against his course. It ol is astonishing that a man who is sent for the 'cure of souls,1 whose sole business it is to preach Chriet and him crucified to dying \ sinners, with their salvation as the imnio- i || at* object of bis labors, should so far torit hi* work, his rows and bis duty, im to irote his strength, his pulpit, his office id the holy Sabbath to th* pitiful business ' electioneering! As if souls were of loss Li|>uii.niiv.o than votes 1 As if-God would i glorified by drugging tho polities of the oek into the sauctuary on the Sabbath ! here aud then oveu those Christaius who e immersed in politics during the week, red to have their minds turned to other id b^tec. themes t they desire to be led y tho side of still waters, away from the oubled sea of party strifo, and to repose, r one day at least, under tho shadow of io cross. At Provideuce, 1L. I., during the ec*Hons< f the Asaociat'n n, wo saw sewr.il mini-dors ho appeared to ignore the word of God, nd the example of Christ and his apostles i guides in the discharge of their sacred Mice. When they wore called to tost their riuciplce by the touchstone of the gosjrel, ley invariably flew off. When charged 'ill* this inconsistency, they could not dey it. One minister whispered in our-oars, nd said of anothor, that 'for throe years ho id not go to a prayer meeting.' This was i exposition of tho man's exceeding zeal > cut oil' coiresjrondenee with the i'rosby;rians. Another said, 'as these agitating neslious are up tho spirit of prayer goes own.' And wo venture to appeal to tho raying men of New England, and to ask J rem if they believe that these advocates of j una aud powder for lambs aro imbued ; rith the spirit of prayer? Aro they tho! ien you would send for to teach your chilion tire way to salvation, or to administer onsolalioii to your own souls in tho hour f death ? No. They arc men who have irsaken their master, if they have not denied ! im. They have wounded and grieved 1 im, and brought darkness anil leanness ' ito their own tout*. They have chosen itlos for Bibles, and gunpowder for grace! lay the Lord forgive them; tliey know not ; -hat they do." ourt Dress Trouble in Former Times. A letter dated Merlin, Juno !28th, to the j fanchester Examiner, says: Wo have just heard by telegraph of the ; Ltnerican undress episode at llto Queen's | ill dress drawing room. People here are i is posed to hope that no intentional insult i as offered. Nor is such want of uncom- | ion decency probable. The United States j legation at this place have at all times, 1 mil lately, apj eared at ('ourt in a sort of inform, with a sprinkling of gold cmbroi- i ery on cuff and collar, sword and cocked at. In consequence, howevor, of orders om home, the embroidery has been set side latterly, and Mr. \ room and thogonemen of his mission have appeared in a J jrt of clerical dress, with knee-breeches lid three-cornered hats. This attire forms strong contrast to the glitter by which ley are surrounded on (Jouit or gala di- ! loiuatic occasions, but is accepted as an pology for more splendid costume. It of!tid? no ono unless it bo the wearers, who I in the risk of being mistaken for servants ut of livery, or evangelical or Mormon ; teachers. Bui these discussions about court attire re not limited to the representatives of rolher Jonathan. Some few years past n English envoy to the court of Bavaria ' as like to li.-tvo been cut short of access to us throue becnu?o he insisted upon npearing tliere in loose longs. It so occur- ' k), that King William IV of England, i iking into consideration that the underauding of his cuvoys, feeble as it might p, was more worthy of exhibition than nit below, changed the nolhcr attiro of; 10 diplomatic corps by substituting trous- ' s for "knee things." In obedience to these i*tluctio!ia, and to tho great rejoicing of a ary <jueor pair of legs, Lord Erskine np eared at court in his prolongments, ho uowing the while that Munich court dinette was pitiless on this score, and that either high nor low-bom could he admit *1 unless in "shorts." Nor was lie in er>r. Upon mounting the ?tniros?e lie *aw ie halberdiers and body guard frown; oti ?aching the landing place, he observed the ontlemcu ushers and 'Kainmer Junkers' encli their not over cleanly hand*.

They itnined letters of naturalisation ten years ;o, in which they tveio designated as embers of tho Imperial family. Now it feared that this may he treated as a baso i which to found ceitain pretensions nut nsistent with tho previously declared ilgitimucy. Prince Jerome contends that his marsge with Miss Elizabeth Patterson was ill and void from the beginning, as it was intruded between a youth of 19 and a oman of 23, without the consent of his trents and tho formality of publication, was further declnred to be null by the jcree of 180.1, which dissolved the civil arriago, while tho projrer aulhuiitios of uris severed the ties of icligious marriage, > that such a union might have no civil feet. On the other hand, the Baltimore oeapartes dispute the locality of tho dace of 1805, ami ihev adduce various arnnents in favor of their legitimacy. Tlioy fer to the good faith of the parties in maing tlie contract of marriage, but that is uestioued, because it is stated, that the mlract contained a clause by which,! t if foreseeing tho possible dissolution of ; ic marriage on tho demand of the hus- J iu<l or his parents, lie stipulated, in such case, for tho payment to her o. 00,000 ancs a year, w hich sum lias been regurlv paid to Madame Bonaparte (called by le French writer "Elizabeth Patterson") ror since the separation.
