Synod YeSterddy.--In the Presbyterian synod OF
Northern Illinois yesterday Mr.. J. NJ. Linn
asked and obtained leave to enter protest
against the reception OF the appeal of Prof
Patton from the decision or the Chicago Pres
bytery III the Swing case. The protest sets forth
the points made by Rev. Mr.. Moves in his
speech, and the quotations from legal synodical
proceedings, TO show that the appeal is unpre-
ccdented and Illegal. After the reading of the
protest the clerk called tie names of Swing
and Patton, when the latter responded, but the
former was not in the house. The Rev. Mr.
Noyes was appointed 10 represent him, but de-
clined to serve. DIR. Patterson, T.. G. Sykes
q. l.. Thomas, Mr. Trowbridge, .. II. Weller
and others were successfully appointed, bat all
refused, the most of them on conscienf fious
grounds. Finding that mono OF Prof. 5 wings
friends would de tend him in the case, the SYNOD
appointed Rev. Reuben Frame, an old gentle
man whose eyesight is so much impaired that
the testimony will be read to him. He has
been staunch supporter of Prof. Patton dur
ing the controversy. Prot. Patton commenced
his speech yesterday afternoon, and had the
floor this morning. Swings friends in the
synod have asked TO be excused from further
attendance in the case, but the request has
been refused.
