EccLEsrAsTIAL CoNvENTIoN.--It will
be seen by notices in our columns, tha
two conventions are called, both for tb,
nth Of August, one at Auburn and The
other at Rochester,to consider the recen
dismemberment of the Presbyterian
church. We trust that there will be such
correspondence between our brethren
OF the Cayuga and Oneida presbyteries
as will unite their councils. Probably
Auburn should be the place Of meeting
1t will be an occasion Of great interest
10 the churches Of the excison," and
every presbytery should be fully and
abiy represented ,both by the clergy and
the people. Should the deliberations
OF the meeting be conducted in a christ
anspirit, with due regard to the rights
and wishes of all the churches, and un-
der the guidance ofthe Holy Ghost, we
may confidently expectthat order, ,harmo-
ny and efficiency will speedily spring out
OF the present confusion and paralysis.
We hope the convention will not forget
to recognize the hand of God, admins
tering merited rebuke to the injured.
through the hands of those who have
done them wrong. The times call, en-
inently for humiliation as well as prayer.
