are the delegates from North Carolina =
After much discussion tits. subject of rit-
uai only got this far. The committee has
yetto be appointed. L. has then to con-
fer with the committee of Bishops, and
then the subject will eolce back to this
House to be handled without gloves. So
far can easily see that Ritualism is the
ugly nausea of the Convention. and as a
delegate remarked of it, il is an ugly slough
that will have to come eff. Five thousand
copies OF the Lord Bishops sermon of last
night are to be published. noticed after
the collection last night that many OF the
delegates advanced to see the aims laid on
the table. ALI rose, not from reverence
OF the aims Offering. but to see the grta
heap OF gfeenbacks collected to be sent to
the burning city. It seems, however, to
be the practice OF many Northern gre
being placed on the table, custom
worse than kissing the Pope's toe,
and one, if the act OF conformity becomes
law. will have to be get aside like many
other things of childhood. Arkansas has
become diocese. Its delegates were adj
mitted to-day to the floor.
The matter of which spoke esterday
as referring to the pamphlet or sermon
which vas sent to each delegate, and
which created some talk on the question
of privilege, was 10. taken off the minutes
as the Ex-Governor Jenkins from Georgia
would have. Rev. DR.. Adams, Of Wiscon-
sin said, that this Convention must
not forget that we have reporters from the
Senate here who copy all We say. our sense
as aOeH as our nonsense. Laughter.
The whole matter was laid on the table.
The question Of Ritualiem will be, be-
yond doubt, tie subject Of this great Goa
ven ion.
Tonight will commence in st. Peters
Church the anniversaries OF the Evangeli-
cal Societies. / vii! attend. / will go to
see, and to learn. L go with open eyes,
with open hands, and with an open heart.
The pois n of party will not circum >cribe
my liberty. Live and lean, Let this be

SEVENTH DAY.
DDAR JOURNAL: The fe5ling yes erday
on the question Ct ritual uniformity may
DO expressed here in the reported language
of Judge Battle, OF North Carolina. Dlr.
President. | assure the members Of the
House, that shall detain them but n few
moments. Mr.. President when We see
the excitement here, we are reminded OF
the language of one OF the nest beautiful
poets known to u.s.
For even in the trnnqui,lesa OF C lule,,
Light brct zes rCff3 the flowers soGictimcs.
Now sir, what is the question a very
plain one. The Bishops have sent to US Il
message, stating that wi hout committee
on the part of this House, TO act with q
committee on the part of their House,
! they cannot respond 10 q question upon
which We asked their advice. Now. sir. il
[ understand the proposition of the revcr
end gentleman from Mary land, it is that
we shall send back to them, and say the
same thing of them again, you must set
tie this question for u.s. Are We called
on in thls way to ask the Bishopsto stulti-
fy themselves? Are We not to suppose that,
when they said they could not do it. they
said so in perfect clndor and truth II
we tond back with the proposition of the
gentemah from Maryland. We shall say
! TO them eve do not believe You; you can
settle this if you choose, though you said
yOn conid not" Is this respectful is
it proper .? | concur entirely with the
reverend gentleman from Pennsylvania,
that the shortest way to get clear of this
qut stion is 30 respond aftirmatively to the
proposition OF the Bishops: Let this joint
committee be appointed; let them consid-
! TT this whole question. aCd IN all human
probability it will bo settled to the salts
fuetion If all. To day after the approval
some other work, Of which will presently
speak, this question on the joint commit
tee came up 40 be finally settled so far rs
The committee is concerned. Among
many others that spoke to-day in favor of
referring this mater to commi tee to ap-
point a committee was the Rev. Mr.. Bron-
son. OF North Carolina. It was finally de-
cided, after much talk and interchange Of
views. to allow committee appointed by
~ al, IN ~ 1T I
act in the joint committee. This Joint
committee will consist of five Preeby ters,
five L.ymen and five Bishops. It will re-
port what ritual uniformity, if any, is
niece ssary. You may we'll imagine from
all that has been said when the subject
matter for debate, &c., comes up what the
di 4cussion may be.
Several thing were referred to the Com
mite on Canons. When this committee re-
ports on them. ard should there be any
thing Of interest, | will communicate ii. The
Committee on Canous reported their &c
