Congressman McRae’s Speech.

By Editor

We give in this issue the last of the quotation from Judge Black in the speech of Congressman McRae. It is worthy reading. But we would remark that tho America “stands pledged” to the principle of religious liberty in the Declaration of Independence, in her Constitution, and in every association of her national birth, she has proved recreant to the very truths which have made her the great nation she is. By every branch of her government she has repudiated the principle of religious liberty. But the principles are eternal, and, tho blotted from statute books, or trampled upon by venal legislation, they can not be torn from individual hearts, or from the Gospel of Christ.
