presiding oiioer,s d ofsii moderator, al waa g..
Rev. Howard Crosby. D. D., LIZ D., of
the Fourth Avenue Church, Brooklyn,
and Ohanoellor Of the University Of New
York. Many important subj. CTS were
discussed and decidedly the d-,ai!a OF
which will be found il the religious pa.
Pers.. What will be most Interesting to
southern Christians, was the broad,
liberal action Of the Assembly ia relation
to fraternal organic nnion. at some
eally day, with the Southern General
Assembly, and other branches Of the
great Presbyterian family, holding the
same faith and aiming at the sans re-
suits. The unanimous adoption of q re- /.
port and Of sundry resolutions submit
ted by DR.. Nicholls, OF ST. Louis, would
seem to remove the difficulties hitherto
existing CD to union with the Southern
General Assembly and the Old School
Synod OF Missouri. After q preamble.
the resolutions declared that all former
deliverances of the Assemblies repre-.
senting the Old School touching the
Southern General Assembly, or the
Synod OF Missouri, arc now, and have
been since the reunion, null and void !;
that the Assembly express fall confidence
In the soundness OF doctrine and Christ
lan character OF those brethren, and can
not doubt that an invitation at com.
munion would lead to the. speedy removal
OF the bnrriers that now separate those of
like precious faith, and 10 q practical
manifestation of their belief in Christ. &c.
1t was understood that this action in the
Assembly was 5atisf ,ctory to and ap.
proved by leading men in the Southern
Church; as DR.. Stuart Robinson and
Mr. Wilson, of Lo ,isville, Ky: DR.
Palmer, OF New Orleans; Dr.. Seiborn and
Dr. Bullock, OF Baltimore, and Others:
and it is hoped that such sentiments. ex.
tending the olive branch, may be adopt
ed and perpetuated in all parts of our
common country. DR.. Bird, of the
Nashville Cumberland Presbyterian
Church, made an able anl eloquent ad :
dress to the Assembly, and said their
!o5 prcsbyscries, and their l5U 1000 mem
bers. with all their colleges and schools,
were ready and willing to return to their
mother church, II reunion was consi-
dered desirable. The Moderator replied
Ia fraternal and eloquent terms, and a
committee Tor conference wns appointed.
Similar propositions were made by the
General Assembly of the Welsh Presby-
terlan Church and other bodies. and il
seemed, indeed, as if the era of oooi
feeling had returned. The intention of
these resolutions, and tho eject of tha
action OF the Assembly, is to remove all
inputation of crime from persons wbo
took part with the South in the recent
struggle"
