Dear sir - Having enjoyed the pleasure of hearing the loyal and patriotic sermon delivered by you. On Sabbath evening, November 6th, instant, and believing that the sentiments therein so eloquently, forcibly and logically enforced are calculated, not only in a religious aspect, but in a national View, to impress upon every citizen the duty and obligation of rendering obedience to the powers that be, as well as a cheerful support to the Government in its efforts to subdue the existing rebellion, we are induced to request. At your earliest convenience, a copy for publication.
Although the immediate occasion for which your discourse was specially intended has happily passed, yet it will, no doubt, tend to establish more firmly the faith Of all who labored for the success of the principles you so nobly advocated.
