The Nercersburg Chassis Of the German Re

and organized, on Friday evening, in Hunting
don, Pa, and continued its sttlngs until Tuesday
evening of this week. There was foil atten-
dance OF clergy and lay delegates, and their
meetings have been of the most interesting
character. This classis is composed OF some
twenty-five clergymen and as many elders,
from the counties of Franklin, Bedford, Hun
tIngdon, and Fulton, and it is remarked that
as a body it would compare quite iavorablv
with any similar ecclesiastical body in point OF
dignity, learning ana true pieiy. We noticed
among those in attendance the Rev'd Drs.
Schaff, Fisher, Schneck, and number OF other
cIergymen of note, from the counties named.
The pulpits of all the Churches in the town.
were supplied by Chassis on Sunday, and also

that an attempt is 10 be made at the June State
Convention, TO abolish the distinctive TILE oil

of the Opposition party. This is trick OF The
Know Nothings and is intended TO make their
