Correspondence Of The " i. Tribune
CLEvELASD, Ohio, May %, 1851.
In looking over the Presbyterian General Assembly
low convened in this city am struck with the unpro-
cedebted pIed0mnance of young and middle-aged
men, There are fewer old men even than belonged To
the Assembly two years ago at S. Louis The Assem-
bly has seine new and able members who are certain
10 be heard before the week is out. Among some @i
Commissioners there are only eleven Doctors OF ID
yinity" although there gOodiy number beside,
who 10 say the least, deserve the dOctorate Among
the leading men the Southern side, Dr.. Ross Il the
ostensible leader, but il is doubtful whether he VIII
exert AZ much influence by reason oil pfludicc- OK
cited aqanet lin by his truly shocking letter a. c
your ger men from the South. The Kew hr Handy OF
Portsmouth, Va, j. pleasant speaker ana man 90
very fine spirit, ana VIII be iet on Ills oIte'y to
ton Tier is au Elder from the same Presbylery,
MI F. r. Grattan who also promises well. DR.. Ross
will make the long speech, but such men ~ nave
alluded 10 will exert more influence in the body.
The Northern Aut-Slayery men stauc IN great need
If leader. and are lkeIyto show then defect. The
only man who was able TO act as leader has tailed III
the outset DR.. Allen j. man OF unquesu0hed
ability but he allowed member OF ms Committee 10
get up the Report referred To- III my aS' 'rileI' NnGn
was written with special reference to pleasing me
S,utb Instead oi STAYING oil that report ~ he nlght
have done by MINORITY report he aeqmescCd IN The
one already presented, aud thus allowed ms hanis ~
he fed /, rerains 20 be seen whether he can dis
crtaprle himself from this false position. Among the
Isvmtn ON that side of the question may b. named a
LAWYER. Harvey h. Clarke, OF Detroit, who has
already given signs of ability IN debate, ana l. Hheiy
Ia be heard on this question There are Other c'II'ai
and Inv Commissioners who will speak well, bnt a yet
do not see the man who fitted by natural giitS ana
by experience f. be leader. Circumstances may
can ont such an and invest him with the insignia oil
Office but IL yet he does not make Ais appearance
Hence the Southern gont men arr more AT home
having as an advising counsel always present, iheIG
eLlc,t man. Dr. Boyd of Winchester, Va, although
not q member Of tie Assembly.
