ago was the hunting ground of the savages, is now

Episcopal Contention. The National Ga
zette contains the minutes Of late special con-
venion of the episcopal church of Pennsylvania,
to consider the expedency of appointing an assis-
tant 10 Bishop White The convention was nu-
merous, and excited usual degree of interest a
mong the citizens OF Philadelphia, as well those
without as those within the pale of The episcopal
communion. Exceptions were made to several of
the clerical gentlemen who attended, which however
failed, and all the individuals, except ed to- took
their seats On the proposition tina, it was expe-
dient TO choose an assistant bishop, the afirma
was carried. On counting the ballot il was as
certaned that there were fifty clergymen pre-
sent.-that here were twenty-seven votes for Rev.
MIR. Meade OF Virginia, and twenty-six for Rev.
Mr.. Wilson of he Theological Seminary and the
former wss declared TO be elected. 1t was after

no choice. After various propositions for new
ballotings, the whole matter was postponed to the

ed, however. that the individual in question was
ordained with the understanding that he would no,
at any time, claim this privilege and consequently
as well Tor this reason because he had not re-
iuested, nor authorised any person to- make the
quest in his behalf, and on account of the general
inexpediency of the measure, the motion was indie,
finitely postponed 10y great majority Of the men,
