Guilty Yves experienced in selecting an editor Some
proposed to organize an editorial committee, one
half of the number TO be chosen from the clergy,
and the other half from the laity. But this was oD'

and good deal of discussion ensued relative 10 the

conference to urge the claims OF gentleman

whole range of theological controversy, and more
than that, whose sincerity and honesty place him
| UNNECESSARILY above clustering Webb and hypocri-
teal Hale We allude to Mr.. George Whitney,
familarly called "Uncle George" the faithful and
efficient clerk of our press-room and director-gene-
raj of our city circulation "Uncle George" could
not pay the part of bully so well as Webb, ablet
he wouldn't have danced so gracefully out OF the
reach of Duff Green's pistol; neither can ne wrg-
gle, and twist, and equvocate so dextrously as the
worthy who turns the Tabernacle of the Lord into
a concert-room or a Political bear.garden, for
consideration" but there is in him, we will venture
TO say, more honest, faithful, sincere, and devoted
attachment to what he regards as the truth, than
| there is in ninety.nne Webbs and Hales, and the
half of an Episcopal Convocaton or Presbyterian
| Synod, thrown in by way of a makeweight We
make these remarks for the benefit OF Messrs. An
| ,hon, Smith and Co., for whom we have rather
| liking, simply because they came out like men, and
kicked up bit of breeze-and we are friendly to
all sorts of breezes in the religious, well as the
! political world They clear the atmosphere. SO,
if these gentlemen want good and efficient editor,
! they know where to go. In rejecting Webb and
Hale they showed that they were not to be caught
with chaff, 80 we have the greater confidence IN
| presenting our candidate.
This anti-Pusyite paper, in truth. will, If conduct
ed in the right spirit, and with sufficient energy and
talent, produce very important results. We are just
now on the eve of great religious revolution. On
| the one hand we have all the stricter sects'-the
evaugelicals' their forces, break
ing down their partition walls, and preparing for
grand united onslaught on Rome. Then the Catho-
lie church on the other hand is more indusriously
at work than overwhelming her borders-build-
ing up the breaches-strengthening the power of
the priesthood-and preparing to WELD on any emer-
ganlzation. And then there are the mustered hosts
of lndels sceptics, fanatics, Fourierites. and In
cendares OF all descriptions, with the devil at their
head, all well-nigh frantic with their anticipations
| of the coming destruction of all the blossoming
hopes of the true friends of Truth and liberty,
philosophic quiet, however, remains undsturbed by
the din and tumult of those busting times, and
whose future is full of the blessed fruits of the in
fraod ond ho npneae IF the
races which are to come.
At such an epoch every movement is important.
We like especially to see the press brought to bear
on all the points at issue between the disciples
of rival creeds Free discussion ELECTS and establish
es the truth. 1t shamss some who shrink from the
light Of day into declaration of the faith So let
us, by all means, have antagonist for the True
Churchman." We shall cheerully stan ee

| ground
MEDICAL LlTERAruRE.-The Messrs. Langley, with
aspirt and enterprize whichmust command appropri
ate success, bringing out several valuable medical
| works, in The best style, and--imporant item-at
prices ito suit the times" Amongst them is Pere-
ivas great treatise on Stood and Diet" and "Ken-
nedy on Obstetric Auxultation" the latter embesa-
ed with splendidly executed Autographs Pereivas
| work ought to be in every family library, and Ken
nedy's treatise is invaluable alike to the lawyer and
| the physician, from Its important bearings on the
| science of medical jurisprudence.
| DoDaRs PORTRAIT OF CLAY may be seen at 34S
| Broadway. An engraving is TO be made from it,
and, if properly executed, will place the best like
ness extant OF "Harry Of the West" within the
| reach of all his admirers.
TEKPLEToN.-The terms demanded from the Park
management by this great vocalist have not been
correctly stated. We were yesterday shown let.
ter from him to distinguished and well-known
singer here, in which he states his terms, as pub
lished by us some weeks since, namely, an engage
ment for forty consecutive weeks, at one hundred
pounds per week, and eight clear half benefits
| This is by no means extravaeant, considering the
| large income VIII at present really 8
in England. 1t is very likely that Simpson will
come to terms with him, and that he will be accom-
panied by Garcia or AIbertazzl.
NIBLo's GARDEN-FRENcH TRoUPE.-We regret
to say this splendid company have lett this city for
the North. The beautiful notes Of Md'lle. Calve
have died away, and hereafter we must content
ourselves with more earthly sounds. Their en-
eagement terminated with benefit 10 the most in
teresting vocalist of the season. Mdlle. Cav6, which
took place at Niblos on Wednesday night last, and

OVERLOOKING, and the audience were in ecstasies of
delight with her singing, which was better than ever
we have heard from her. Mad. Lecourt was also
excellent Blss was the very picture of the VIII.
| Henry and acted the character with credit
After the performance Mad'Ile Cave was called
| out, and was received with a shower of bouquets.
Mad. Lecourt was also called for, which was unex-
pected and she had to come forward in her desha-
bile, as she was preparing TO leave the garden. Al
together, Anna Bolena was the best opera produced
this season. The French company will long be re-
| membered in New York.
