Reformed Presbyterians and Religious Amendment
Those who are laboring for the religious amendment will find devoted allies in one branch of the Presbyterian church, according to the following from the Philadelphia Record:— There are about one thousand individuals in Philadelphia, more or less, who, upon religious principle, refuse to exercise that franchise which is their right as citizens of the United States. They hold to the idea that this country lives under a godless constitution, and that, therefore, it is wrong for them to vote, serve as jurors, or act in any official capacity under the civil government. Those who hold these views are members of a section of the Reformed Presbyterian Church, which, in order to distinguish it from other branches, is known as the Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian Church.
