so clear and delightful, now threatens rain.
Of the doings Of the Conven ton, the action on
the subjects Of Temperance and Slavery is proba-
bly, all that would interest the general reader.
The subject of Temperance came up on a resolu-
t ion of the Pennsylvania State Convention, asking
that the General Convention rescind a resolution
of the last years Sc ssion which sets forhin sub
stance that in this day of light and knowledge with
regard to the effects of Intoxicating Liquors, no
person who manufactures, sells, or uses such
| liquors, is a proper person to be sent a Delegate
to the Universalist General Convention. This
resolution was deemed invidious, and 4 virtua! as
sumption of power 10 dictate the choice Of Dele
gates The subject was referred to Committee,
upon whose report an animated discussion was
had, turning mainly on the right of this body to
rescnd mere expression OF opinion on the part Of
former one. Finally, the following Resolutions
were adopted-the first without dissenting voice,
the latter with very general unanimity:
ReseirsG That we feel deep sympathy in the cause Of
total abstinence from all intoxicating drinks and
mend all men to that by their pEeceps and eI

On the subject OF Slavery, the following Reso-

~ THE EPISCOPAL CONVENTION, now in session,
at St. Paul's church, took a decisive vote yes
terday afternoon On the exciting question involv-
ed in the Pusey' Controversy. Judge OAKLEY
had offered the following resolutions:
Whereas, appears that doubt exist. as TO the true
Of the ruefc which directs that the odna
of candidate for orders the church the Bishop shall
call the people, make known the existence of
ped;meu, TO such ordination whether any PresbyeT the
church has right respond such call a OF the
peopeaud whether any impeachment be alleged, and
thu has undergone previous investigation upon pri
complaint and has been determined BY the Bishop
be nnfouuded, the duty Of the Bishop
pend such ordination,
r Therefore, for the purpose of solving such doubt.
Resolved That the delegates from this diocese the
general convention be requested bring subject the

They were sustained very ably in somcwha,
extended debate Of which the Hon. JOHN DUEa
maintained very prominent part. Their pas
sage was urged on grounds entirely disconnected

controversy, namely the ordination of Mr.. Carey
Judge Oakley said that he had not made up his
mind fully as to the issues involved but that
one point was very evident-namely that there
was room for great difference of opinion as to
the right and propriety of prcsbyters's nterposns
objections to candidates for ordination when the
Bishop calls for such objections from the people
