lie would venture to say that, if little more
time, and q little more patience, had been exer-
cised, This compromise would have been effected.
But there always seemed TO be an unfortunate
haste in the differences IN religious bodies. In this
connection, he read from the opinion of Chief
Justice Ewing. in the controversy among the So.
cleIy of Friends.
If this suit was now out of the way, he believed
that the W hole difficulty would be amicaby settled
in eighteen months. There was some excuse to be
made for the Southern gentlemen. They had been
urliated by the aboiionsm which had taken pos.
session of the minds of SO many infatuated men in
the North. But the great body of the church
which he represented could not Justly have abo
ition sentiments imputed TO them. Nine-tenhs of
the disputes In the world were settled by cOmpro
mise aud surely religious controversies ought not
to be the only exception.
The Hon Reverdy Johnson then commenced
the closing argument for the plaintiffs.
| propose, said he, to consider this case under
four general heads. The first is the power of the
General Conference of 1871, to adopt the plan OF
division of the Sh of June of that year. The
second, the construction of that plan which, as |
shall maintain is that the division of the church
was made to depend exclusively on the decision of
the Conferences in the States where slavery exists
Aud that the change oil the sixth restrictive article
made to depend exclusively the decision oil
the Conferences. considering the church at that
time as one body. Third that by force of the
division of the church, if that division should be
made by the decision OF the Annual Conferences
the properly OF the church is to be divided upon
equitable principles between the two fragments
without regard to any change of the sixth restric-
tive rule. Fourth, that admitting that the Genera
Conference had not power to authorize the plan oil
separation, if that plan was not carried out, q
state of things still exists which entities the plain
tifs to the prayerof their bill. These points are
all perfectly simple. They require no depth OF
learning TO determine, and great ability to argue
