Excerpt from Politics and the Pulpit: An Essay on the Rights and Duties of the Christian Pulpit in Relation to Politics

The following essay was submitted for examination in behalf of the author, by the intervention of respectable clergymen in another State. They accompanied the manuscript with the following remarks:

"This manuscript was prepared by an eminent minister of the Old School Presbyterian Church. From a wish to have the argument stand on its own merits, and from a reluctance to have his name appear either to help or to hinder its circulation and usefulness, he has chosen to remain unknown. But he has submitted the manuscript to the judgment of the subscribers, that we may make such use of it as shall seem to us desirable.

"After carefully reading the work, we are satisfied that it possesses decided merit, and is deserving of publication. "We recommend it to the American Tract Society at Boston, as a work worthy of their attention and adoption. We are sure that it contains sentiments and arguments admirably adapted to meet a present want of the ministers and Christians of this land."

This essay is itself but an introduction to another, entitled "Slavery and the Pulpit," by the same author. But it appears to be, apart from that, so important and so timely, at a period when the pulpit is alternately threatened and flattered that it may maintain a treacherous silence respecting our national sins, that it has been thought advisable to issue this by itself.
