Tho termination Of the impeachment farce,

change that has come over that body: since

at all hssaras for party purposes. At lasr

IMPORTANT DKNoMINArIONAL MOVEMENT.
The Evangelist New School Presbyterian,
mentions that the late movements towards
unicn in the Presbyterian Church and else
where have led many to look forward to a
still larger union which should bring into
one fold. or at least into close relations of
istsrconmunion and Christian fellowship. a
number Of evangelical churches, which in
time should include all the great branches
of Protestant Christendom. AS step in
this direction, the Christian 1nteHigencer
suggests that the evangelical churches in the
United States are approaching period in
Which they might organizcsa general con-
.venton or congress" composed Of duly APP
pointed delegates, the same to meet, say
once in three years.
The work Of this general congress Of
American Churches would necessarily be
changed from time to time but the follow
ing are suggested as features that would OBJ
tain certain degree of permanence:
/. 1t would be charged with the duty Of
exemplifying the essential unity of the sew.
eral evangelical denominations. 2 BY its
,fraternal counsels it might magnify the es-
sentials and minify the non-essentials Of re-
ligion. 8. It could CONCERT and recommend
plans of labor, which. ifcommonly adopted
would harmonic and consolidate the aggres
size efforts Of all the churches. 4 Its dc.
liyerances on supreme questions Of public
morals could not fail to have large influence
and sometimes check political iniquity wher
intentupon mischief 5, It could present;
united front against the adversaries Of church
and State; and quicken the public conscience
when enervated by popular errors and dclur
sions. ~

Gov. Vance, of North Carolina. one of
the most eloquent men in the South, made a
speech few days ago, at Conservative
meeting in Norfolk. He urged the union Ct
all Conservative MN, in constitutional or
ganization, to avert, if possible, the evils
threatened by the Radical leaders. In
conclusion, he made most eloquent appeal
to Virginians. They had no idea what in
fuence their State had upon its Southern
sisters. They had followed her in her acts
from the Revolution Carolina's sons have
followed Virginia's in every field Of battle
in the red glare Of the tempcstuous fight =
Virginia's soil IS red with the noblest blood
Of the South We have followed her and
looked up to her in those big hours. We
look upon her now; and if she fails, o Lord
God !! what shall We say? He could not
believe that the white race-the race Of Mil
ton and Shakespeare would be subducd in
the land Of Washington, Jefferson, and
Henry Let Virginia organize, and victory
was in her hands. 4 She would be followed
by her sister States, and the great triumph
Of the white race would extend all over the
country" saa5sE .4ss.gi9sAlsi ssaF g44gislt
