A Syracuse correspondent of the Albany Register corroborates statements which appear in the Syracuse Star, as to the villainous conduct of a portion of the clergy in that city. He says:
"The ministry and the politicians bore a conspicuous part in getting up the recent riot and outrage; and some of the former gentry, not satisfied with what they had done in the streets took the subject into their pulpits on Sunday, and not only desecrated the day by fulminating their treasonable doctrines of resistance to the execution of the laws, but disgraced their sacerdotal robes by assuming the character of political demagogues, and endeavoring to stir up sedition against the government and laws among the congregations."
