THE EyANGELucAL ALLIANCE.

THE EVANGELICAL ALLIANCE.
Next Thursday there will assemble In New
York the sixth general conference Of the ALI
ance. Although this organization was formed
more than century ago, this is the first time
II has met outside Of Europe. The first ses-
sion was held In London, and then succes-
sively In Paris, Berlin, Geneva, and Amster-
dam. The coming gathering promises to be
the most remarkable the most numerously |
attended, and the most important in Its re-
suits Of any meeting that has been held, and |
Is looked forward to with unusual interest by |
the Protestant world. Delegates from En-
gland, ireland, Scotland, France, India,
Switzerland, Germany, Holland, Greece,
Nova Scotia, Turkey. and other countries
have already arrived, and 1t Is certain that
the next few days will still further swell the
list.
The Alliance is composed OF representatives |
Of all the denominations into which Pro- |
tcstautsm Is divided. II does not pretend to
interfere with or exercise jurisdiction over
any existing form Of faith, but aims simply
to unite the different Protestant Churche
In an effort to accomplish certain broad and
general results in which the whole Christian
Church is Interested.

A sESsATIoSAL DENocRATIc EDITOR In
North Carolina takes as a text for q lengthy
article the assertion Of one Of our North
Carolina correspondents that President Grant,
In accepting the invitation rendered TO him
, to visit the State fair at Raleigh next month,
"would be received with open arms by the
people OF this State" He proceeds TO deny
our correspondents assertion In the most
emphatic manner, and declares that the people
= of the State "would extend no cordial well
come to the man who, Of oil others, Is per.
haps the most responsible for the presen,
degraded and disgraceful condition Of the
Federal and State governments" The politi'
. cal animus behind this assertion Is explained
by the following extract from the same article
"G.ant has, perhaps, shown his wisdom in do
cllniug the cordial Invitation; voorhees,, the
Q grea, Democratic orator and the friend % OF "a,
could, we imagine, hardly speak before q South
err audience without portraying with his usua
i gangrenous evils that have fastened upon tn,

u mlnistration. II would not be pleasant to Grant

We have heretofore expressed the opinio

unfortunate, and we now refer to 1t again 70

This Is construed by the Democrats :

20 kagree that no other construction can b
placed upon 1t, and regret that DR.. McCosl
,e does not stand by it. The declaration Of Mr
10 Fairchild, Of Kentucky, that the old slayt
"a holders are opposed to popular education
n true. Although DR.. McCosh remained in th
n South but three months, he learned enoug
ID of the habits and thoughts Of the people I

or truth. 1t, therefore, III becomes him at th

,ts sible that his speech may have detracts
m from the popularity In the South or
hv Princeton; but his amende at this late hot
n. will not avail to restore that popularit
In. Now, let him came out boldly and frank

st and leading spirit In the promotion Of OF
A. educational interests, with suggestions as
rn the manner Of executing his original propos
IA tion. In no other way can he recover Il
nd ground he has lost by his laundering apolog
mt and In no other way can he more effective
es- serve the interests OF his college. Let hi
he point out the way to accomplish the educ
ell ton OF the laboring classes Of the South III
lev he will confer q greater favor on the peor
