If the Democracy were entitled to praise
for elevating this practical amalganationist
to the second Office in the gift Of the people,
we do not see how they can justly censure
any speaker for recalling the fact to public

embalmed the gratitude and high appreciation
Of the Democracy for their great amalga-
mstionist leader.

Adjournment of the Presbyterian Assem-
blies.

The General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church New School adjourned on Tuesday eve
ming, the 2Sth inst after a session of ten days
The question on the constitutional powers of the
Church, regards slavery, was agiiated for three
days majority report signed by Dr. Asa u Smith
of New York, Judge Jesup of Philadelphia, and
two other Commissioners from the North, and a
minority report signed by Rev. DR.. Boyd of Vir
ginia, having been presented The former affirm
ed slavery to be sin per Sc, and the latter denied
such to be the case. After protracted discussion
the majority report was adopted, and the minority
report accepted and ordered on the minutes of the
Assembly. On Monday a protest against enter,
ing the report of Rev. Dr. Boyd on the minutes
was presented, signed by Rev. DR. Mills, Rev. DIR.
Spear, Rev. Heryey Curtis, and some forty other
Commissioners, which was accepted, but a propo-
siton to appoint committee to ansSe it was
lost
We cannot take leave of this body without bear
ing testimony to the very decorous orderly and
Christian manner in which the several debates
were conducted No bad temper of any kind was
shown even in the heat of argument, which could
at all initiate against the character of Christian
Assembly.
On Tuesday evening feeling valedictory ad
dresses were delivered by Rev. j. w Mears, (Del }
Judge Darling, (Phia, } Rev. DR. Boyd, IVA } Rev.
DR.. Adams, IN. W and after passing votes of
thanks to the Moderator, the citizens of New York
the Committee of Arrangements and the Press,
the business was concluded with devotional exer.
cises, and the Assembly adjourned in the great
est harmony. The next General Assembly will
meet at Cleveland, Ohio
The Old School Assembly having sat for eleven
days, adjourned on Wednesday night, after clear
ing the whole calendar. The session has been re.
markedly pleasant and harmonious and the mem.
bers gave strong practical proof of their devotion
solely to the cause of the Church of Christ by let
ting politics alone, and separating without holding
debates or passing resolutions about slavery.
