The WORKS OF Con IN AMERICA.--Rey.
Johu Bayley delivered very interesting lee
tlwe at Union Station Methodist church
Tuesday night. Subject: "The Works of
God in America from the Earliest Period to
the Present Time"


The lecture contained historical sketches of
the rise and progress of the early churches of
Virginia, New England, and the Mississippi
Valley. It also gave statistics of the strength
of the different denominations Of the present
time, proving that the evangelical denomina,
tions were largely in the ascendency, and
that the experiment of free churches in a
free State is not failure. Sketches also of
the work of God among the American IN
dians and the colored people of the South.
He gave also some highly important facts in
connection with the large increase of Chi
nese matcralists and pagans in the Pacific
States, and closed with an earnest appeal to
the congregation for cooperation in the work
of home eyangelization.


This lecture was very highly spoken of by
those who were present.

OF electing Democratic Senator for six

war Democrats are not willing .c run

treasure, and reconstruction and peace are


not yet sufficiently established to run any


such risks. Those opposed to seces

In connection with this question we
add the following from the State Journal.


A PRACTICAL VIEw.-We gained ten
or twelve Congressman at the late cleo
tons We shall increase our strength in
November. The next Congress will be
Republican by a large majority, and the
Executive branch of the Government
viii continue under the control OF the
party now welding power. No man Of
good sense will be likely to deny these
statements certainly no intelligent hear
er will believe him if he does, and mere.
ly practical view of affairs, what should
W Nlscobsin voters do?


Every man familiar with the State
knows that we are directly in the path of
Empire. Ports on the shores of our
lakes, like those Of the ocean, receive the
goods Of the other States and countries.
From kenosha to Super or City we have
over dozen harbors, or places that
should be harbors. where vessels can safe
ly land. We have commenced ship
canal acl oss Door county and great
csnalfrom Green Bay to Prairie du CHEN,
and we want the St. Croix Land Grant
renewed. The improvement of our har-
bors and rivers, and the con: pletion Of
the ST. Croix road will benefit the peo-
pie of Wisconsin and the entire valley Of
the upper Mississippi. Can We secure
these benefits by refusing to support Re-
as we have done her tofore?
Shall We not rather advance our own ma
terial interests by refusing to return men
to Congress who were chiefly known as
objectors, who blocked thewheels of leg
islation and are bitterly partisan? Ought
We not, at this time, to make the election
of Republican senator doubly sure, and
keep Wisconsin in the advance line Of
the grand Republican army? As great
many men say no importent political prin
ciple is involved In this contest, we sub
nit the above practical view of matters
for their consideration.

We command the following strong
reasons to the careful perusal and con
sideration of the Citizens of this Coun-
ty. who are equally interested with
other legislative districts. The Kenosha
Telegraph in urging the election Of the
Republican nominee for the Assembly in
that County speaks on that point as fol-
lows:


The United States Senator for this
State is to be elected by the next Legis-
lature to the Office now held by Senator
T. o. Howe. A desperate effort is be-
irg made by the Democracy Of this State
TO elect a majority of the Legislature in
Joint convention. kenosha county is
enc OF the Assembly districts to which
their efforts are being directed, unspar
ing of any means within their reach. If
they can carry this Assembly district it
will make TWO votes difference in joint
convention for the election of a Demo-
crat for Senator. That Democrat would
probably be the obnoxious EldridRe, who,
as Representative in Congress, opposed
every war measure during the War of
the Rebellion, and every recontsr uction
measure since the war But it matters
little whether it would be Eldridge or
some other Democrat equally as obnox-
ious. for it Is certain that the Democracy

privilege OF every free citizen of this

peace and prosperity, should be continued
in our national administration and that
its great leader now at she head Of the

upon them will devolve the election of q

almost impossible to spare our noble
Senator Howe from the legislative Halls
at Washington.

From the foregoing it will be perceived
that there is no change in the Republic.
IN ticket. and that Hon. H. III. Smith
Is still candidate for State Senator in
this District. As we have a!ieady
expressed, that there IS no better man in
the County Cor that or any other Office in
the gift of the people, we cannot
urge our citizens, of whatever political
opinion, too much, to aid him with their
votes and their influence


We have been blamed BY some Of our
timid friends for having mentioned tho
temperate habits Of our Candidate, be-
cause his opponent depends on the op-
posite for his election. We are willing
TO abide the consequences. Mr.. Smith
is no total abstinence man, but Ee is
temperate in all things, and when it has
come to that point where a man must
cease to be man and become brute, 20
obtain an Office in Manitowoc County,
We give up our faith in tho intelligence
OF the majority Of our citizens. But
this cannot be possible; the simplest
man in our community would not en-
ploy drunken man to perform the
most menial kind of work for himself
how much more considerate and careful
should every voter then act, when he is
about to vote for Senator of the State
OF WISCONSIN, in whose clear judgement
and sober consideration, as far as his
personal action extends, lie confdes the
interest aud welfare OF whole State,
aye even as far as the election OF u. s.
Senator at the next Legislative session is
cuncerncd-of the whole United States I?


With such considerations of the most
vital Importance, persona lities. creeds
and nationalities should be left entirely
out Of question, and We appeal again to
the good sense of our fellow citizens to
employ every honorable means to secure
the glorious election of our SenatorH. II.

Our dispatches yesterday morning made
reference to a letter from MIR. Adams in re-
ference to the Cincinnati nomination.


The letter is dated Boston, April Is, 1872,
and is addressed to.David A. Wells, Esq.
Norwich, Connecticut:


My Dear Mr.. Wells | have received
your letter and will answer il frankly. /
do not want the nomination, and could
only be induced to consider 1t by the cir
cumstances under which it might possibly
be made. Ifthe call upon me were an un-
equivocal one, based upon confidence in
my character earned in public life, and q
belief that ] would carry out in practice
the principles which l professed then, in
deed, would come the test of my courage
in the emergency. But If / am to be ne
gotiated for and have assurances given
that am honest, you will be so kind az to
draw me out of that crowd.


With regard to what | understood to be
the declaration of principles which has
been made it would be ridiculous i'm me to
stand haggling over them. With a single
exception of ambiguity / see nothing
which an honest Republican or Democrat
would not accept. Indeed, should won
der at any one who denied them. The
difficulty is not in professions il lies even
here only in the manner in which they
are carried out.


If have succeeded in making myself
understood, you will perceive | can give
no authority to any one to act or speak for
me in the premises. / never had mo-
ments belief that when IL came 10 the

from all political associations of any kind
could be made acceptable as a candidate
for public Office. But am 80 unlucky as
to value that independence more highly
than the elevation which is brought by q
sacrifice Of it. This is not inconsistent
with the sense of grateful recognition of
the very flattering estimates made of my
services in many and high quarters, but I
can not consent 10 peddle with them for
power.

natl really believe that they need such an
anomalous being as I am, (Which | do

The New York Notion,thus sums up the
recent supreme Court decision on this
subject:


The case of Watson VS.. Jenner, which
has just been decided in the Supreme
Court, for the first time authoritatively
settles the relations of the civil to the &C.
clesiastical tribunals of this country, and
is not without its bearing on the Cheney
case, in Chicago two years ago. A Pres
byterian church in Louisville (Kentucky)
split during the war on the question of
slavery and emancipation, the majority
adhering to the Government and the pro-
clamation, holding the church, and receiv-
ing the approval Of the ecclesiastical Cen
eral Assembly. On a suit brought by the
malcontents, the State court set aside the
decision of the General Assembly and put
the revolving officers and members in pos
session Some of the loyal members re-
siding in Indiana then carried the case i'm
to the Federal courts, and have now got
judgment in their favor. The Supreme
Court decides that where property is given
or left in trust for the promotion of any
particular doctrine or form of worship and
there is dispnte over 1t between members
of the church or congregation, the Court
win take upon itself 70 decide which of
the two rival parties processes the faith for
the support of which the money was left
or, in other words, will assume the func-
tions discharged by the Judicial Commit
tee of the Privy Council in England in
like cases. But when there il no special
trust created by deed or will, aud like
dispute arises, the Court will treat the de-
cision of the highest ecclesiastical tribunal
Of the denomination to which the congre-
cation belongs as final and binding, and
will enforce it, In this case, the decision
of the General Assembly is adopted by the
Court. This would, we apprehend, dis
