The leading Presbyterian papers ap-
pear to dislike the effort Of the more ex-
elusive party in the Illinois Synod to Try
Professor SWINGS case over again after
he has left that body. The majority
vote against him came from minority
OF the members, most Of whom staid
away from want of sympathy with the
proceeding, and the whole drift Of opinion
among thoughtful Presbyterians seems to
be against such ecclesiastical trials as at
tempt to put down able and earnest men
who preach practical Christianity sin-
cerely without fully accepting the letter
Of the old articles Of belief in all respects.
We infer from the tone oi the leading
organs here that such men as WILLIAM
ADAMS and HOWARD Crosby would have
nothing to do with any effort that might
be made 10 Crush a man like DAVID
SWING.
