ings as distinct body, claiming 10 be the
"lawlul" General Assembly, and brouRh,
soil against the Old School for the funds,
contributed, held and always managed by
them. For whenever the New School
contributed funds it was 10 cndow and sup
port Theological Semnaries and other
institutions of their own, which they
were always careful TO keep out
of the hands of the General Aassembly, and
to manage through their own synods and
Presbyleries. After the New School had
retired, the Old School Proceeded with
their organization, in which they had been
interrupted.
Cn what quibbe does the reader
suppose the N ew School based the legality
Of their claim, to the funds of the Pres.
byterian church TO establish which they
wen, into civil court "before unbelievers.
Why, ,ha, the Cd School at the opening
ofthe Assembly, in letting them carry their
d.sorderly motions TO elect their own mod.
orator aud then to adjourn, did actually vote
for these motions, because silent members
are to be understood as vo,ing with the ma.
jority. Here tIiea we have men, protesting
10 BE- followers Of the Prince of Peace and
Righteousness, going into court Of law
with a palpable untru!h on their lips, well
known by themselves to be such, and
grounding upon this un'ru.h their claim 10
a large amount Of money ,hep in the
possession ofits only rghtful owners. And
yet the judge did actually charge the jury
that this quibblc was the law tina. "by intent.
ment of law" the old School had really voted
for the New Schot motions, and that they
were bound TO decide accordingly. We
had always supposed that law was founded
on reason and common sense. That the
lntentment of law" in o case like the presen.
would be TO ascertain the truth, the "in-
+ n:ment" Ct The parties, and 10 determine
accordingly. According 70 The decision Of
the Philadelphia judge, and Philadelphia
jury howe yer this is not the case. If ''the
nten.ment of law" in Pennsylvania is not
TO maintain justice between man and man.
but to furnish snare by whichhouest men
may be defrauded Of their rights by trickery,
then we have hitherto greatly mistaken the
character ofthat State. The case is carried
up to the Supreme Court Of Pennsylyania
by motion for new trial.
The design Of the New School in the
course pursued by them is evident from The
,ime of making their motions. If the mo-.
tions had been delayed ill after the organi-
zaton Of the Assembly, when their motions
would be in order, and questions would DO
fairly taken on them they were aware that
then the Old School members would vote
and defeat them, because that party had a
very large majority. Their plan was evil
dcn,ly framed with view 10 the "ery resul!
Which followed.
