the eloquent tender OF good will and hope OF
fellowship which tell from the lips of the speak
ers was received on the part OF the American
clergy and laity with subdued applause oeht-

appreciation OF the sentiments uttered, aud on
the part of the English clergy with the pecu-

however, designated when the division should
take place. He, therefore, moved resolu-
tiou that the division of the Diocese of Penn
sylvania shall take effect November l, 1871.
On his motion the matter was then referred
| to the committee on new dioceses
Mr.. Judd then addressed the convention on
the subject presented by him. He contended
| that under the present practice OF voting, the
| voice of the church was oftentimes not repre-
| sented. The will Of the majority was thereby
defeated. He did not object to reference to

scribed In its broad sense 10 the principle that
| the minority should govern, but rather that
| the minority should at all times exercise a
wholesome check on the majority.

individuals, and he contended that the propo-
siton was entirely contrary TO the constitution
and the practice of the church.

proposition as impracllcable. 1t was an at
tempt to make something out of nothing.
The resolution was then referred to the COM
mittee on canons.
MIR. Shlpman, of Kentucky offered resolu-
tlon that it be referred to the committee on
canons to inquire and report whether the con-

The Rev. DR.. Franklin, o! Indiana, said the
| principle was recognized In the church that
every mans orders would carry him through
| the church. What he wanted was that every
| clergyman of the mother church OF EDgland
