ABoRTIvE CLOSE OF THE PREsBYTER-
IAN UNION CONFERENCE.-THE confer
ence of the two committees respectively of
the Northern and Southern Presbyterian
General Assemblies was terminated in Bal
timore, Friday, resulting in a complete
failure to accomplish the object of their
consultations. twas understood that the
organic union of the two great Presbyter-
ian bodies of the country was not to be
sought, and the Southern Committee was
not authorized to confer for that purpose,
but a fraternal union, with the interchange
,of delegates between the two General AS
ssmblies, was the object aimed at, and in
which their negotiations have proved en-
tirely abortive. The ''Sup" says:
The communication between the two

stacle in the way of closer union, it seems

We're made by each side, and a large mass
of correspondence is about all that remains

be arranged by some of the members of the

sembly insisted that the deliVerances of
the Northern Assembly are Q hindrance to

of the Northern Assembly insisted that all
obstacles had been removed by the action
already taken by that body. The commit
tee of the Southern Assembly ask the COM
mittee of the Church North to recommend
their assembly to make some further ex-
preston This they declined to do. There
the correspondence ended.
