The Rev. Mr.. Richmond, of Milwaukee,
gave notice in lis church last Sunday that
the Convention of the diocese would meet at
Fon, ,du Lac on the Sth, and invited ell who
had any charges 10 bring against him, to lay
them before the Bishop and presbyters at
that time. He then defed them as follows:
II challenge and defy the malcontents,
who are moved only by Satan, to the trial.
| Let them face me in the Convention if they
dare, and will rip up the foul characters Of
their runners, show up the corruption bonds
and the plots, the bank note shayings and the
other denominations, which you know. Let
me be put on my defence, If they dare. In
the name of god-in the majesty of unsulled
innoccnce-in the purity of my motives, ac-
tions and life--in the faith of the Lord Jesus
in the boldness of the martyr Stephen-in
the amightiness of truth-in the might of
manhood--in the unblemished robes of my
priesthood--in the sgrace and glory which
a loving heart confers upon all thatapproach-
es tin the strength ofa youth renewed,
and in the physical power of body compact
of muscles mortal, but like iron and steel
in the lightning of my tongue, and with the
thunders of the gospel of God-with the law
from Sinai, and with grace and truth from
Zion--in the name of the Church. and before
the awful future of the day of Judgment
in the prospect of the hour of death-in the
contempt of this poor world, and in the
brightness Of the coming state-with Faith
and Hope for my wings, and Charity to bear
ME to the bosom of God--in the power of the
Father, who still, ever as of old, preserves his
faithful children--by the blood Of the Son,
who loves his unfiinching soldiers, and by
thy aid and comfort and light, 0 Indweling
Spirit defy them"
