Church temporarily sandered by the commissions
of a preatci7il war The stumbling blocks to
that end were not many perhaps but they were
formidable. One by one, however, these were

a;wav, disappointed at the result-the few who.
sought to distract the counseis Of the ConYen-

/ The action the Convention, with reference to
the Southern dioceses, has been so Kind and con-
ciliatory throughout, that it can hardly be qaesc

section return and make their report, the neces-
