NEW YORK., Feb 27--Tho Tenth Annual Con-
vention OF tho Advocates OF tho Religious
Amendment Of the Constitution, namely, the
investing Of clause relating to the recognition
of God, has been in session for two days to 3
small and decent attendance. The resolution
passed yesterday that no speeches adverse to the
amendment would be listened to by the Conven-
ton, but must be submitted to the Secretary, IN
writing, had the effect Of reducing the number
of spe ctators to mere handful. The speeches
made thus far generally favor making tho Con-
stitution Of the United States, aud Of the eev-
eral States, acknowledge Christianity, to the
exclusion Of what speakers term infdelity,
atheism, Judaism, and paganism. One
argument used WAS to the effect that
when God is recognized in the Constitution,
cougreesmen who accept bribes will be cast out
In dfserace. The Rev. Dr.. Tying said he looked
forward to the day when the dear and gracious
Saviour should reign in all the glory OF = re-
,7eamed and consecrated earth. The annual re-
n.,rt admits that not much advance mas neen
