THE CONJEPREzITEs-A NEW RELIGIOUS SECT IN
IowA,-Some sixty seventy miles north of Council
Bluffs, in the county Of Monona, about fifteen miles
from the Missouri river, there is town containing
six or eight hundred inhabitants, generally known
as Preparation. This town is the Zion Of anew body
of religious enthusiasts, who call themselves Con
ieprezites and their system Of religion religious
organization, the "Conjeprezion," the meaning of
which term remains to the GENTLE world profound
mystery. At the head Of the organization is q man
Of the name of Charles B Thomson, who is, beside,
the editor of weekly newspaper called the 'News-
papeTer" This paper is large, well printed, and
upon political and general subjects is edited with
much ability. OF this sheet, one or two pages are
usually devoted to the publication Of what are called
open letters" upon religious subjects, addressed by
Charles B. Thompson, as follows;
The Chief Ap0stOlie Pastor and Evangelical Bishop
To all the Elders of Evangelical and Travelling Pres
byters Deacons and members of the CoDieprezion,
scattered abroad throughout all the world, sendeth
greeting"
These letters are all dated sat the toWer Of the
flock" and are most curious specimensof Iuconpre-
hensible cant; being made up of passages from the
Bible extracts from "ths Book Of Law and Cove
nsnt of Israel" and remarks by the Chief Apostle
lieal Pastor" Unfortunately mixed up together.
From what we able to learn from these letters,
this curious sect believes in the Bible the word Of
God; but also holds that tits in measure done away
with by new revelations made since the year 1S4S
by the voice of "Baneemy" through the medium
Of the ''Chief Aposolicsl Bishop These new
revelations are styled the Law and Covenants of
Israel" The property of the organization is held
in common and the earnings Of all are thrown into
the common stock somewhat after the manner ofthe
- Shakers.H The people are said to be quiet and
orderly in their department moral in their costume,
and most devotedly and blindly attached to their
religion or system of belief. However strange it
may appear This organization has, during the last
year. rapidly incresed from fifty to eight hundred
members and is still receiving large sceessOns to its
numbers-Io50q State Democrat.

The New York Observer mentions as one Of the
effects Of the late religious revival the unusual
eessOns to the Presbyterian divinity schools Of the
country. One hundred andsixteen students are now
in the Theological Seminary at Allegheny city
This is far largernumberthsnh has ever been in the
Seminary before. Other seminaries are also filed
with young men pressing into the ministry. Prince
ton has more than $50, and the village has been
largely called on to furnish lodgings for those who
could not be Accommodated within the Seminary bull
dings The Union Theological Seminary in this
city has 124 students, We told that many young
men in business and some who had studied for 9TH

and the success Of the Southern Know Eothings in

coHiedsratss- at the North as a Black Republican
yietory. The New York Herald speaking of sEwARD's
speech says:
We admit that the speech was intend d partly to

the prime object 10 view was an sntislavery bid for
the Presidency, which would cast Governor Banks,
Governor 0hsse, Senator Hale, and all other Feppb

opposition to the democracy in the South can, in CO.
operation with their Northern republican allies, elec

The reliable Democracy Of the Peninsulsr State
have come out Of the recent conflict with merited
homer. They have gaiRed two Members Of Congress,
reduced the majOries Of the others more than one
hsfbringing down the majority on the State ticket
to a small number-increased nine members Of the
State Senate and some eighteen in the lower branch
Of the Legislature.
William A. Howard. the defeated Black "Repuo-
lican for Congress- in the First District Of Michi-
gam is one of the loudest Kansas shriekers in the
present House Of Representatives. He was one OF
the leaders last winter of the opposition. He was
one OF their most active and strong men, and his
loss in the Congress which is to select Seward TO
The Presidency is ncalcuIabls. His loss is over a
thousand since bis election in 1856, when Michigan
was oveIrun with the Mustang fever.
The Detroit Free Press says:
All this have the Democracy done. What other
State has equaled itl Missouri did good thing in
defeating Blair, but Michigan has done equally well
in defeating Howard. Illinois has done nobly in
eleoting Democratic Legislature and five Demo
cratic Congressman, but she did the same two years
sgo. 1t seems to us that Michigan takes the lead.
