A NATIONAL RELIGIOUS CoNvENr1oy.-A con-
vention, the object of which is to secure a
national recognition of the being and provi-
dence of God, Of the authority of Jesus Christ,
and the supremacy Of the Bible in civil affairs,
met last evening at the church corner of Ele-
Venth and Wood streets
After prayer by the Rev. Joseph T. Cooper,
Judge Strong was called TO the chair. The
proceedings were then commenced by an open
ing speech by the chairman in which he said
that the organic laws OF all European coun-
tries acknowledge the existence of a God,
while the Constitution of the United States
does not. The present is q time, he thought,
eminently fitting for the Christian people of
the country to lay the matter before the law
makers, after war in which the hand of the
Deity had been 50 plainly visible, and at a
time when organic law is undergoing change.
The Rev. T. p. Stevenson was chosen for
Secretary.
A business committee of five was then
appointed, to whom the subject Of preparing
resolutions was conided. 1t consists of Rev.
Drs. Cooper, Kennedy, and Smiley, and Judge
Agnew and Mr.. Alexander. Letters were now
read by the Secretary, received from q num-
ber of gentlemen who had been invited to
attend the Convention and participate in the
proceedings; among them General Howard
Drs Eddy, of Boston; Vincent, of Pennsyl-
wanna, ana NlnIOn, Ol new 1Ofk. All OF
them regretted their inability to attend, and
expressed their sympathy with the objects of
the Convention.
Senator b. A. Browne, of Harrisburg, spoke
in favor of the proposed change of the Consti-
tuition, and proposed the following as the form
of the amendment:-''We the people of the
United States (humbly recognizing Almighty
God as the source of all authority and power
in civil government; the Lord Jesus Christ as
the Ruler among nations, and His revealed
will as our paramount authority in order to
constitute Christian government) to form a
more perfect Union" ETC., the words in pa
rentheses to constitute the addition to the in
strument.
in favor of the proposed change.
The Convention adjourned to meet this
morning at the same place.
The proceedings of tO-day's meeting will be
found in another column.

had a large mass meeting at the Assembly
Buildings. A company of the so-called Irish
republican army was present at the meeting.

army of two hundred thousand men when
they invaded Canada, and that it was owing
to dissensions among themselves that they
were defeated. At the close of General
O'Neil's speech the meeting was addressed by
Mr. Gibbons.
