alarmed and aroused. The absurd doctrines Of
Greeley and his comnatrlots, about the rights OF
property, are now secuted by many who formerly
were half inclined TO swallow them. Throughout

the intelligent and orderly classes.
Tne recent outbreak in Illinois should lead the IL
dependent press throughout the country, and all
good citizens, to united and vigorous effort against
the spirit of dlsorganlzation and rebellion. Let
all these attempts to persecute the Mormons, or any
class OF people, be at once crushed, and covered
with indignant rebuke.
The EPISCOPAL CONVENTION session Of
this Convention yesterday was very interesting and
amusing. Colonel Webb figured quite extensively
on the occasion, and was one of the most conspicu.
Gus representatives of the church militant We give
full report Of the proceedings in another portion Of
our paper
What spectacle must such a convention as this
present to the gaze of the saints in heaven, as they
look down on one of these sunny days from their

assembled in st. Johns Church to the apostles of
Jesus Christ Fighting about abstractions-'h high
and slow church and exposing all the delin-
quencies OF bishop in his behaviour towards his
flock, they do anything but promote the cause Of
religion in general and Episcopal Christianity in
particular. These squabbes amongst the clergy
and the strange developments of their morals, and
repeated defeats in the conflict between carna
emotions and the love of God and practice of virtue
are leading multitudes to the conviction that thai
portion OF the New Testament called 8" the gospels
should be taken as the alone rule of faith and prac-
tice, and that every man should become his own
parson, and avoid the associations Of churches and
priests and bishops, which lead, il appears, TO such
wicked and worthless fruits in too many instances
