1t is.tric, Mr.. Editor, that the Convention
did not go with the "humbling business" that
its members trusted to the good faith of the
southern delegates and received them in the
spirit of kindness, and that they labored to do
what Henry Ward Beecher so strongly urgesI
''prescrvc their self respect" 1t is true that
politicians could not control its action, or
pervert it to their own schemes Doubtless
there are causepqf grievance to mere }partt
sans, and to those who do not understand
that il is the duty Of q church council to leg
islate for a kingdom which sis not of this
world" while the enemies Of the Episcopal
Church would have been satisfied had it Still
remained divided, instead Of being the first to
unite in the bond of peace, members of the
same church and fellow citizens Of the. sane
country, But every lover Of his country, sin;
cerely desrous Of real union and future
Of good will, will thank God that the general
Convention had the wisdom, christianity and
patriotism to ''bind together the severed parts
Of the church" and to that extent, to harmo-
nizc alienated sections, and prepare them for
their grand career in the same glorious union,
under the same free. and beneficent govern

Above we give place to the article of the

the Leash said on ,pptepable subjects the better,
especially as their revival can do no good to
the parties interested, but on the contrary
much harm. ' 'r't. .'"."' ga. ~. ,4 y
Our remarks in this connection the past
week, which were invited by the proceedings
which took place ut Philadelphia, and to which
our correspondent cxcepts with All animation
unwaarranted by the premises, were notfsund-
ed on malice, neither did their production af-
ford us any satisfaction; on the contrary we
then as we do now regretted the necessity
which is obligatory upon the editor of pub
lie journal in keeping his readers posted in oil
important matters occurring in the country
and we may furthermore add that we were not
grudging in commenlaton to the, loyal church
of the North of this denomination, and that
our remarks we're applicable only to those rep.
resentatives to the Convention who by their
course distinguished more between o church
extension than loyalty to the Government, in
which we no more believed their people sym!
pathzed than VIC now do, '' ~ jNi .''.
Our correspondent it will be seen contro-
verts the truth of the statement on which our
remarks of the last week were based, in which
if he be correct, of course our error stands
conspicuous and q, an honorable journalist
we would be compelled to acknowledge
it, but unfortunately for himself ns well
as the cause he assumes to ropre sent,
such is not the easel The fact is too well
colored and engraved too deeply in the tablet
upon which it is written, that all which
is reported of the proceedings of the
Convention in question is unfortunately
most true, and that the more the subject shall
be stirred it is rendered m3re odorate and less
desirable. ,.,. nn j r.ianrDIi r. e..

makes involving the. truth or falsity of the
charge that "the Contention laid on the table

as to acknowledge the necessity thereby de-
volving upon us as a journalist, to make good

their production, which we now do rerbatin,

the matter embracing the charges was frrn-

Philadelphia, Oct l4--At the Episcopal
Convention, this morning, Hon. Horace Bin
ney introduced the following: ..r.. 4ai
Pesolred, That this house, in most cordial
ly concurrng, as it has done, in the resolu-
ton of the House of Bishops, appointing a
day of thanksgiving for the return of peace
to the country and unity to the church, most
respectfully expresses to the House of Bisll-
ops its most earnest desire that in the relig-
ious services to be appointed for the day, es-
pecial thanks be offered to Almighty God for
the re-establishment of tho national authority
over our country, and for the removal of that
which was the occasion of the national dis
sension and estrangement, to which our troub.
