The evening session of this body on
Wednesday was opened with prayer by
the Rev. DR.. Eddy, Of New Jersey.
Ater a collection had been taken up
to defray the expenses Of publishing the
proceedings Of the Convention in pamph-
let form,
DR.. Edwards read highly gratifying
communication from the Secretary Of the
Baltimore and Susqueharna Rail Road,
in answer to certain inquiries PROFOUND
ed by the Lords Day Convention which
met in this city last January.
The Rev. DR.. Eddy read extracts OF
letters from Ex-Governor Vroom, of New
Jersey, and Chief Justice Hornblower Of
that State. The letter of the latter tes-
tilted the demoralizing effects growing
out of a dissertation of the Sabbath, and
stated that nine tenths OF the criminals
upon whom he had passed sentence du.
ring the last twelve years, commenced
THEN career of crime, according to their
own confessions, by violating the Lords
Day.
The next TO take the floor was the Hon.
Willard Hall, of Delaware, who read an
swers to number Of inquiries made TO
him by the Baltimore Sabbath Associa-
lion, relative to the travel N Delaware,
on the Sabbath, in railroad cars, &c.
The information embraced in this letter
was of very satisfactory kind, and set
forth the pleasing fact that the Lords
Day is more generally observed in the
State Of Delaware, OF late years, both by
the Incorporated companies and isdlvidu-
ais.
A letter was then read by Rev. DR..
Eddy, from the Rev. Mr.. Smoker, of
Gettsy sburg, Pa, and the Rev. Mr..
Hammer read a letter from Chancellor
Walworlh, of New York.
The reading of the documents were
here closed, when the
Rev. DIR. Edwards, from the Business
Committee, submitted proposition that
the members should give an account TO
Martinsburg gazette. [volume] (Martinsburg, Va. [W. Va.]) 1833-1855, 1844-12-05

This dody adjourned SINE die at a late
hour on Thursday night.
When our Report of that evenings
proceedings closed, about half past eight
O'Clock, an amendment offered by A. s.
Childs, Esq, to r resolution deprecating
the violation OF the Sabbath by Legisla.
tive bodies, was under consideration. -
After much debate, and many fruilless at
tempts TO submit other resolutions and
amendments on the subject, the Rev.
Thomas II. Stockton, OF Philadelphia;
with view Of harmonzing the action Of
the Convention, submitted the following
resolution as substitute, which was
unanimously adopted;
Resokved, That the Convention do here

Of Congress as have heretofore attempted
to prevent The dissertation of the Lords

islative action into the sacred day, its

hope tina, similar efforts hereatte will be
