Goth instant, says:
The Vermont Convention Of Connrega
tloral Ministers held their annual meetlno

reports Of delegates TO other ecclesiastical al
bodies were not the least Interesting of these
ssrvices-pariculary that of ex. presiden,

from the Abotlohists I" about purifying -

such correspondence with pro.slavery body. !.

The feeling of the people of Springfield is
shown by the following, from the Republican
of that place:
"On Saturday evsnin. Rev. Mr. Dohct,y visi.
tod his church with view Of making preparations
for the sabbath, but was not allowed 10 enter some
OF the members of his congregation, guarding the
door to prevent him. As he returned to his carriage
several stenes and piece. of wood were thrown at
him. He declared his intention nevertheless to
oiciats the aext day, and threats offered that
hs should be put out of the church it he attempted
it,"
Since the trial, too. q letter has been re.
ceivsd BY Mr.. Monaghan from Mr.. Howard,
Catholic priest of Ohis, who came on q
visit to Mr.. Doherty on the 18th of April,
1850, and remained ill the 23d, when he
says he saw Miss Monaghan in the house.
Mr.. d. had introduced testimony during the
trial, to show that she was not in the heuse
at that time, as it was between these dates
that the alleged seduction took pace.
