ment Of seats some who located under the gallery

so as to avoid the noise from the street. The whole sub
ect was ultimately left to committee appointed for that

to be pursued in this Convention
DR.. WILEY, OF Conn.,, offered the following resofu-
ton
That the reporters for Church papers be admitted to
seats on this foor and all proper accommodations be
afforded them by the Secretary.
Mr.. WELSH, lay delegate OF Pennsylvania, moved TO
strike out the word sschurchn
Dr. WILEY said his object offering the resolution was
that the reporters should not feel that they here
ptv tI,afh
which they occupy He accepted the amendment
and the resolution was adopted
Documents in relation to the admission OF the d0cess Of
Kansas into union with the Convention submitted
and referred to the Committee on New Diocesses,
On motion OF Dr. HAWKS, of New York, it was ordered

yesterday

cations be called upon tomorrow friday morning to
present the documents in their possession for the conside
ration OF the Convention, and that they also pay the
treasurer the pecunary contributions required to deray
the expenses Of the Convention. Agreed to.
Judge CoSYsGHAM, of Pa, moved that the secretary be
required TO cause 500 copies Of the of Bishop
Z
Convention. He said that that the number ordered
to be printed in 1856 Of the then delivered He
did not know but that owing to the great merit and
portance OF the sermon Of Bishop Oey, larger number
might be required lso, he was willing TO modify r.
motion
MEMBER suggested that 600 copies be printed which
was accepted by the original mover.
Dr. e w FITCH, Of Ohio, said he meant to offer rcso-
luton which he had written The object OF which 10
abolish the system of publishing II this re-
solution was now adopted while it would not effect
the motion now before the Conventions the plan Of uni
form publication in the future would be discontinued
There may be things uttered in these convention sermous
OF which they could not approve, and by adopting the
plan proposed by him responsibility could attach to
the Convention for any such ucrances while the order
print would necessarily involve end0rsation Of all that
these sermons contained.
Judge CosYsGnAM made observations to the diff
hcuy Of hearing the gentleman at the distance he stood
from him. He could not exactly say whether his remarks
were IN opposition TO the motion which he Judge c.
Tered or not He convinced OF the proprety Of pub
ismng the sermon referred TO, because he, parent
listening to that sermon felt DESTROYS that the principles
which were therein cnunciated should he known as
