these two diyires we're once engaged in oppeaton 10
one anctEer, and his own position in relation tot sGf
that l. was delicate matter for him to spesk upMts
opio assigned. He knew them TO be thoroughly aes-
est u,ep, and loved them both, although be dIfxM
from both. Upright men are alwsys earnest nsa ni

and DIR. Ty ler were tenacious of their oonvctensp
they ought to have been, for their convictions vn
deep. He thought that educst men in this coa,y
should learn how to differ from one another eans<J
without employing vtuperstive language or being ~
posed to It from others. They shoald DO abe tod

The audience applauding some of bis sentiments, ~
reverend gentleman created 50 me usrrment by oshV
ont, with great abruptness Of tone, "Stop ths," ed

hear himself talk than hear any cheering.
He went en- 10 relate the following suscdote which
hs had heard from Roger Sherman: The wsll.kno.a
Father Mills was once lreading that passage 10 Juds
where 1t 70 esid that the angel, disputing with us
devil about the body OF Moses, burst not bring sgsna
him railing accusation. Tte venerable man paused,
wonder, no wonder the angel did not bring sgSns
him railing accusation, for he knew th.t 10 olsc.
"gusrdipg the devil was more than match for him.

having reference to the eminent divines of whoa ns
previous speaker had made mention. While stsadng

how death may he swaowed up in victory. AsA'
ans aud Jefferson went down together TO their grsvs
they countless felt that, oSeyer severed pShnes
principles, they were one in patriotism; 70 Dr. Tsll9
and DIR. Tyler departed With the feeling thst TIER
theologes differed ess than their names sndshsy wsfs

unity INTO which they hsye passed. DIR. Taylor ~
