Meeting of the Neso School Pres6yterian
Church Assensbly.

ST. LOUIS, May 26.
Resolutions on the state of the country
were adopted by the New School Assembly of
the Presbyterian Church, yesterday, which
were quite radical in tone. While the resolu
tions utter no word directly against the Presi-
dent of the United States, they rejoice at the
continued functions of the Freedmen's Bu
reau, and rejoice at the passage of the civil
rights bill, reiterates the position the Assem-
bly, took last year in regard to negro suffrage,
and claim that if the suffrage be not universal
it ought at least to be impartial and declare
that the basis of representation in Congress
should be changed so as to meet exigencies
growing out of the abolition of slavery, and
that neither the National Executive or Con-
gress should adopt any mode of reconstruc-
ton that does not efectually protect all loyal
persons in Southern States, and allege that fol
the vindication of national justice, the chief
fomenter and representatives of the rebellion,
should, by due process of law, be consigned
to punishment. A motion to strike out this
last resolution was lost by decided vote, and
the whole series were passed without a dis
senting voice.
