T?E OLD SCHOOL ASSEMBLY.
Scarcely had our “ Old School ” brethren as
sembled. in Rochester, when a great battery of the
heaviest artillery was opened qgainst the whole
systetnofßoards, as in operation among thetl.
Their chief opponent is Dr. Thornwell, the author
of the* proposal that all voluntary societies be ig
nored by th¥~chni'ch. Dr. T. maintained the
ofjchhrchprder;:; Hel|as„a
f° r the ! Presbyterian' system as
made>mp. of Sessions, Presbyteries, Synods,ami
Assemblies, but for Hoards he finds no warrant,
afl'd iu stibK a matter be is-unwilHiig to
by expediency alone. The
system of Prdsby teries and Synods is ample in itself
outsiile piecesof maehi
nery, to do the work of the church. ' lib would be
cphcedingtlie nisuSiceneyof this divinesystem to
do so. On this <point he is reported to have said :
“ But, pur. brethren, , have actually .found in the
wM®.t',of our own .Church .bodies that Independ
driven to form because their polity
was inadequate to the work which Christ required
of ’his people. We are .actually.throwing away
our birthright and puttiiig on the rags and tatters
of Independency. Is hot our Church competent

principle ithat will tkeep this church: of ours from
%ing off from lier ofbit and dashing into the or
bits of other bodies that Godhas.not ordained ”,
Df.,. T., -finally declared 1 that the 1 only proper
agency in the Church was Committee; this, he
said, was the true Scripture system.'* 1 “

and Committees -in sigted :on as,radical by Dr. T. to
be not worth that [snapping his fingers.] Dr. H,
spoke of the infelicity of the system pf Committees
as formerly 'existing, and of the. lethargy, qf the
Chufdh uhdbr it, and of the progress of vpluntaiy
societies outside of the Church. In the discussions
which 'arose when the question of first'forming

Dr. Hodge asserted 'that the’ verv arguments of

o.ame ifrom the advocates : of voluntary societies.

The Chureh; hedaimed,might in her discretion
adopt such modes or.agencies to carry out the com

theory was part of American
%^&^icrwh?sw* ft eud,;'abdjre ! , all .utterly, :iuhscrip
tural. He dedlhtdd that the Presbyterian Church
would never submit as long as there is one drop of
the blood of her.fathers in the veins of her chil
dren to this superlatively high-Chureh ! order.
Pr. Adger, of the Columbia, S. C., Theological
Seminary, followed on Monday, (21st,) sustaining
the views of Dr. 1 Thornwell. He complained ’of
the smallness of-the amount contributed to the
Board of Domestic Missions; which, after deduct
ing legacies, &c.,reached in the year past but
$53,000. Less than half of the churches have
done anything, and the small increase of $5OOO,
over the preieding year’s receipts, was rather a
matter of lamentation than congratulation. Thbre
is no reserve in the following language:
'* We hate the origin of the Boards. The part
of the Church which Drs. Ilodge and Spring re
present must yield something to us on our part.
We hate the system of Boards; but we want to
co-operate with you; we want to work together;
but we must work apart, if you insist on your pre
sent system. We want to work through, our
Presbyteries, aud Synods, and General Assembly.
Boards have no life in them.”
Dr. Thornwell also spokein reply to Dr. Hodge,
; developing at length his extreme views' of Church
order. , '' . . f ;
“ My brother (Dr. Hodge) has said my princi
ple is hyper, hypen, hyper Presbyterianism; and
I must retort that his principle is no, no, NO Pres
byterianism—no, no, no churehism.”
Teaching and ruling elders were the only di
vinely appointed church officers, and to them alone
aofirig as?jep|MntMves. of, the
sions> :Prssbyteries,&c., should the various inte
rests of Christ's kingdom be committed'. He
says:
“Now, by a true construction of our system,
the General Assembly the Board of Domestic
Missions. The Executive Committee ought to be
the hands of the Assembly, and directly responsi
ble to it. But this is riot the case. Another or
ganisation—a Bcwsiety whose meihbers are notiden
tical with the members of the Church, and whose
'officers are not Church officers, is interposed be
tween the active agency and the Assembly which
ought to control. What, then, do you want? To
abolish the Board arid have the General Assembly
act as the Board of Missions for the Church, or
rather the Church act through the Assembly.”
J(f - $ Jfc Jfc
“The difference between a Board and a Com
mittee of the Assembly may seem to be small, but
the difference is immense. The one is a Separate
society, the other the' Church’s own hand.”
Dr. Hodge replied, defending his own more
moderate views of church polity:
“Another principle, which I understood Dr.
Thornwell to advance, Is, that the Church is as
clearly revealed as the items of faith. This I
cannot receive. The details of Church order
are not specified, and at best they must be mat
ter of inference; and I cannot bear to have the
inferences of men' bound upon my conscience.
I won’t do it. An explicit command of God I
jvilt. obey—a mere inference of man never.
'ThaWniy Presbyterianism ; arid I believe it is
the Presbyterianism of our standards, and of
the Scriptures.”
At this point,-the detailed Report before us
in the Presbyterian closes. We believe, how
ever, that.after still further debate on Friday,
the body resolved to adhere to its old systep by
■' yf.*'.
a vote of more than 4 to 1, 56 votes being given
by the minority.
The following things are made clear to onr
minds by this debate:
1. A wide difference of opinion in that body as
to the teaching of our standards on Church Po
lity : hyper-fo/per- hyper high Presbyterianism
being set over against no-no-NO Presbyterianism.
Another instance of the impracticability of en
forcing the ipsissima verba construction.
2. The “Old School,” in flying from volun
tary societies, have fallen into the embarrass
ments of Boards, which are great Societies,
having the name, and form of doing the work
and of being responsible to the church, with far
too little of the reality. , ' •
■3. Instead of our coming on ,to their ground,
in leaving Voluntary Societies and forming
Committees, there-is a decided and powerful
movement among themselves, to abandon the
Boards and come to our ground of a small,
working, and directly-responsible Committee.

THE PROVINCE OP REASON: a Criticism of the
Bampton Lectures on “.The Limits-,of .Religious
Thought.” By John Young, LL. D., Edin., Author
* of “ Ttie Christ of History;” etc." New York : Robert
Carter & Brothers, No. 530 Broadway. 1860. For
sale at Martiens, Philadelphia.
The influence of philosophy and liberal studies
has ever contributed to establish sure and firm
the foundations of our religion. Christianity has
come down to us after many contests, as a religion
of peace; with reason, philosophy, science and
human learning arrayed against it; Shehasproved
herself the wisdom? ofs»God in ihaimony with all
that is true, beUiitifuland lovely.' She is the per
fection of the glory of all God’s works, and gives
significance and completeness where all was unin
telligible. Religion has nothing to fear . from
reason, inquiry and investigation : : if it had, it
would prove it'was not from God; . There are no
real limitsto the scope and exercise of our facul
ties on such a subject. Men cannot be tied to a
system that reison does not, sustain and conscience
sanction. A revelation/from heaven that; com
mands our faith must also accord with our reason;
and to-deride and berate the faculties of soul which
.... r -- --- ' ; ' r f.Y
shadow forth the image of God, is not only cant
but foolish. Indeed, it is a crime to pour habi
tual contempt on our Maker, by refusing to put
forth the powers with which he,has endowed us,
on the highest and grandest subjects which can
occupy them: it is absurd to imagine that we en
danger faith by an earnest appeal to reason.
Mr. Young r who has before demonstrated that
he can use logic and reason to find “ Christ in
history,”, has- reviewed in, volume-the late
Bampton lectures on the “ limits of religious
thought.” Maosel’s work has been extensively
and thoroughly criticised, but by none more legi
timately and fairly than in this volume. is a

It is ever a source of pleasure to ns to be able
to notice; the appearance of a new book that, we
feel sure is to be a valuable acquisition to the li
brary in which it shall find a place. A book that
without hesitancy or reservation we can commend
to-our readers. The work now before us is of this
class; Dr. Fisher is not only a man of thorough
scholarship and sound theology,-but as a writer he
is logical, polished and attractive. The topics
discussed in the present work are all'of an inte
resting character, and treated in the author’s hap
piest style.
, ' Dr. Fisher's present sphere is one
great, success. Hamilton College, an old and re
putable institution, has lately com.e into full sym

Missionary Ordinatioi —The Third Presbytery
of New York met, by ad urnment at Tarry town,
Wednesday evening, the Jth> inst., to ordain as an
Evangelist one of its licent tes, Mr. Henry N. Cobb.
Mr. Cobb is under appoint ent from the American
Board as a missionary to Nestorians.
The occasion was every 1 af one of deep interest.
It was worked by a specift interdenominational co
mity, the more noteworthy 3 evincing that it is quite
possible for the different 1 inches of the Church of
Christ to be one in hearty s liile they have separate
arrangements for carrying on the missionary work.
The candidate was a inei jer at the time of his li
censure of the Second 'lb >rmed Dutch Church at
Tarrytown, of which hlsjfi ler is an esteemed elder,
holding there the same offi< he had previously filled
in two different Presbyters churches. When it was

Then and Now.— Jn 1813 jthe first Baptist Fo
reign Missionary Society was/formed in America.
Its receipts during, the first year were $980,22.
Now, missionary Baptists ettend from Maine to
Mexico, and they contributed uast . year, $102,140.96
to the mission. Then thnre Wore no missions, and
now 1 there are nineteen. Then there were two mis
sionaries, Rice and Judson; now there dre/four hun
dred and fifty. At that;time there were no converts,
now there are two , hundred and thirty-four Baptist
churches among the Pagans, with fourteen thousand
three hundred and twenty-two members. Was Jud
son’s life a failure?
Temperance Legislation m Teipessee.— -The
Legislature of this State have passed a very severe
law against the adulteration of liquors, making it a
felony, and requiring all liquors to be inspected ;by a
competent chemist.
Proceedings of the. ( DelasS;4Jje State Tempe
rance Convention. —The. meejiflg was held in the
M.JE. Church, Milford. The Sooretarymot being pre
sent, Ja9. Houston and J. Y. Foulk were elected Secre
taries pro tern. Proceedings of last meeting, were
read. ' The Business Committee reported a series of
resolutions, the first of which congratulates the citi
zens of the State upon a growing sentiinentdn favor
of-prohibition. The second is to petition the Legis
lature to appoint an Inspector of Liquors. The third
authorizes the appointment of a committee tp procure
a lecturer to traverse the State.' Fourth calls the at
tention of the ministry- to tho question of temperance,
and requests them to preach a sermon on the last
Sabbath of June, or asnear to it as is con venient, in
favor of temperance. Fifth, recommends the forma
tion of Divisions of the Sons and Cadets through the
State. Large committees were appointed in each
county to form societies. . ‘ /
The Methodist General Conference.—But little
progress has yet been made by this body in despatch
ing business. On Tuesday, the 15th, the following
proposal was rejected: >
To inquire into the expediency Ofprepariug a suit
able address to the Episcopal Church
South; with a view to the establishment; and main
tenance of fraternal relations between the two bodies
along the borders. ,
Mr. Oonkhill then offered a resolution directing
that a committee of five.be appointed to memorialize
the Governors of Southern States, asking that our
people be allowed the privilege of worshipping God
in accordance with the spirit-,of our institution.—

Count de Znylen.— I This-Dutch nobleman, for six
years minister of the Netberland Government at Con
stantinople, has recently been recalled to take the
part of Minister of Foreign Affairs at Home. His
Excellency's Christian example, his unwearied and
successful efforts to provide spiritual instruction for
the French Protestants in Constantinople, the influ
ence he has exerted for the maintenance of religious
liberty in Turkey, have elicited from American and
other missionaries, in M Constantinople,,tQ the"humber
of fifteen, a farewell address of the most cordial and
complimentary character. It was presented to De
Zuylen on the 16th of March, and received from him
a suitable and noMe response., ~,
AmerieanMissionaries in Turkey— The ,Le

throughout Turkey, than all the agencies, diplomatic
or missionary, which. European policy or propagand

The Presbyterian native Church in Amoy, China,
now supports two native evangelists, whe labor among
the heathen population. Very cheering prospects are
opening before the Amoy Mission. It is certainly a
great step in advance for a church of Chinese; Pres
byterians to support two Chinese missionaries. 1 :
, Geneva.—The Montreal Witness of May 17, says:
A private letter just received from Geneva,, Switzer
land, states that there, is great anxiety in the city of
Calvin-in consequence of-the annexation of Savpy to
France. Considerable danger had already accrued
in past years,-to the little State, in consequence of
the influx of a foreign population entirely Roman Ca
tholic, but some security, at least, was found in the
fact that they belonged to distinct nationalities, about
half being from France, and the other half "from Sa
voy. The recent annexation, however, gives unity
to this foreign element, and makes it entirely French,
so that about two-fifths of tho-whole population will
hereafter, be made from subjects of France. , It will
be an easy matter, therefore, for, Louis Napoleon to
raise, whenever- convenient, some political distur
bance in Geneva, and to create, some plausible pre
text for him to interfere.
worldly nature are comparatively , few. The world
seems to wait ih stillness, while great spiritual inte
rests are discussed and determined upon by, the
numerous representative bodies of different branches
of the Church., .Another part of our paper will speak
more particularly of the acts of these bodies. There"
are, or within a few .days must have been, a dozen
of these Church courts in session. / Besides our own
Assembly, there is the body meeting in Rochester,
the United Synod at Huntsville’ Alabama; the Re
formed Presbyterian-Synod in Pittsburg, the United
Presbyterian Assembly in this city, the Assembly of
the Cumberland Presbyterian -Church, the Quad
rennial Conference of the M. E. Church, and the Dio
cesan Convention of the P. E. Church of this State,
in this city. It is well calculated to excite deep emo
tion to reflect upon the variety and dignity of the
interests, both of the church and the community, in
volved in the deliberations. of these bodies. The
Christian popple , whom, they ~represent; count ;by
scores and hundreds of thousands, and - even: by the
million. Their influence is felt in every rank of so
ciety, in every department of business, in every insti
tution of learning in onr country.; and their benevo
lent enterprises ramify into every quarter of the globe.
Almost all of them report ah encouraging degree of
progress'. Topics worthy of the highest courts of
Christ’s kingdom, are being ably discussed, and im
portant truth is eliminated. Infidels and gainsayers
are put to shame, . Never was greater vigor evinced
in the different, members of Christ’s body. Who is
she that looketh forth -as the morning, fair as the
moon, clear as the-sun, and terrible as an army with
banners?--
j The Slave Trade. —The two cargpesbfcaptured
Africans, now at Key West, will probably be sent to
Liberia, under the care of the American Colonization
Society. Senator Wilson has introduced into Co’n
gress a bill for the more effectual suppression of the
Slave Trade.
The Republican Candidates.-— We do not know
what the religious preferences of Messrs. Lincoln anti
Hamlin are,,or whether they havo any at all,,albeit
we find their names flying at the head of one of pur
“religious” newspapers, just above an article on Di
vine Illumination; but it is said of.Mr..Lincoln, that
at tho announcement of his unexpected- nomination,
he set an example'of sobriety uncommon among poli
ticians under such circumstances, and one well worthy
of imitation by all parties in the coming campaign.
The usual distribution of intoxicating liquors was
dispensed with oh the occasion. So far as Mr. Lincoln
was concerned, the excitement of the ■ crowd arose
from worthier causes than the maddening influence
of drugged liquors.
The Japanese Commissioners. —On'Monday, the
21st of May, the Japanese Commissioners, attended
by several members' of their suite, and the Naval
Commissioners, proceeded to the State Department,
where their treaty with this Government was duly
ratified. " The copies of the document were carefully
compared, and the certificates of the correctness were
signed and exchanged. On their way to the depart
merit the/treaty-box was borne on the shoulders of
two of their servants.
Secretary Cass, during the diplomatic proceedings,
informed the Commissioners that Jt afforded Aim
great pleasure to exchange the ratifications of the
treaty with them, and expressed a fervent hope that
the two nations would be bound still closer, in friend
ship. The Commissioners reciprocated the compli
ment,atid expressed their obligations to the venerable
Secretary. They also spoke of the kind attentions
bestowed'on them, and trusted that the peace between
the two nations may be everlasting. :
The Japanese steamer Candinmurrah, sailed from
San Francisco; for Honolulu, on the Bth of May.
AJiijsrewell festival was given to the officers of tlie
steamer Candinmurrah, by the city authorities and
citizens of San Francisco; and she sailed for Honolulu
immediately after the arrival of tbe pony express,
which brought news only eighteen day from Europe.
The Candinmurrah will complete the transmission of
the newß around the world in quicker time thanwas
ever before done!
•Visit-or the Japanese to Philadelphia.— The
Japanese manifest great cariosity to seo Philadelphia,
as they have been told they will there see the process
of manufacturing- gold, silver, and copper coin, and
nothing Bas surprised them more than our American
coin.
•They are collecting specimens of American art
with great industry, and make it a point to examine
the droBS and ornaments of every visitor to whom
they are presented. On their return, their report
will create great astonishment, and many revolutions
in business, trade, and manufactures, will, no doubt,
be the result.—Coi*. Press.
Mayor Wood has just succeeded in winning the
approbation of the New York press, without distinc
tion or exception of party. While he was absent at
the Charleston Convention, a job was put in hand to
spend some $30,000 in printing some five thousand
copies of the Report of the Special Committee ap
pointed in 1858 to make arrangements for the cele
bration of the Atlantic Cable, ■ Mr. Wood, has exer
cised his privilege, as mayor, to veto the resolution
authorizing this palpable job.
Accidbxt on a Railway.— On Tuesday afternoon,
May 23d, a man named Michael O’Donnell was run
over.by a passenger railway car, on Girard Avenue
above Twelfth street, and both legs broken, just
above the ankle.
The Tornado at Cincinnati:— On Monday, the
21st of May, at 4 o’clock, P. M. this city was visited
with a tornado of extraordinary violence, having a
north-easterly direction. An immense number of
building including five churches and three school
houses, were unroofed and partially destroyed. Se
veral lives were lost by falling walls and timbers.
A boy was blown into a canal and rescued, and im
mediately afterwards blown in again and drowned.
A steamboat was capsized and two lives lost near the
city, while at various points in the Ohio river loaded
coal boats were sunk, and many of the hands drowned.
Railroads were covered with fallen timber, and shops
and depots injured and demolished.
, .The Slave Trabe Opened in a new way. — W e learn
that the Government has received information that
the fishermen, off the coast of Florida and South Ca
rolina are in the habit of running over to Cuba, on
the .pretence of disposing of their, fish, and returning
with two or’three native Africans, bought there at a
low figure, which they dispose of at a great advance,
to parties who meet them on the coast, purchase the
negroes, and take them into the interior. This gross
and notorious violation of law has been going on for
some time, and it remains to be seen whether any
steps will be taken to arrest it. :
Invention for Whitening Wheat.— A process for
whitening wheat and rye in the grain, the details of
which are not made public, has been discovered by
James M. Clark of this city. The cost is but one
sixteenth of a cent per bushel, and the value of the
grain is said to be enhanced from; ten to twelve cents
a bushel. Drs. Goddard arid Atlee certify that the
wholesomeness of the grain is increased by the pro
cess. ■

England.' —Sir E. Trevellyan has been removed
from his position as Governor of Madras, for publicly
opposing the Indian financial scheme, of Mr. Wilson.
His removal was reluctantly ordered by the Govern
ment, as the general administration of Sir T. has been
satisfactory. ; *
Frauds in Government Contracts. —Additional sur
vbys of gun-boats, built by private contract during
the Russian war, had developed more rottenness in
the vessels, and a total unfitness for further service.
Archbishop of Tork. —Dr. Langley, Bishop of Dur
ham, has been appointed Archbishop of York.
Sicily.— The insurrection is not suppressed: Ga
ribaldi’s movements attracted general attention.
-A.oon-espnndont.aMre fifeies describes the
departure of the expedition from'Gehoa on the'sth of
May by midnight. It was composed of two thousand
two hundred volunteers. Three steamers were lying
in the offing, to which they were conveyed in detach
ments from various points along a range of four or
five miles of coast. The concentration of any large
body on a given spot was avoided, in order not to
bring additional perplexity on the Government.
Nearly five thousand persons of all kinds flocked to
the beach to bid the gallant adventurers “Good
speed.” ■
The enthusiasm of the troops in garrison at Genoa
has been so roused that it was necessary to confine
them to their barracks to prevent deserting, in order

If Medicine is necessary, use Brandreth’s Pills.—
They are as pleasant as a truly effective medicine can
be. It is true you may lake purgatives which will ope
rate without pain, because they lake the balsamic parts
from the blood, which is worse than being bled, worse
than having the vital fluid abstracted. Beware of them.
Brandreth’s Pills only take bold of those matters which
the body, when sick, wants to evacuate. They 'are
solely an assistant of nature,—nothing more, nothing
less. They do not force; they merely assist; and herein
is their great value. The man is thrice blessed who is
so fortunate as to be acquainted with this good and al
most perfect'gift to man, because he has to a great ex
tent his body insured in-health by their occasional use.

' The Chemistry of Medicine. —Among the special de
lights which have so richly repaid our visit to New Eng
land, was the inspection, it was our privilege to make of
Dr. J. C. Ayer & Co.’s Laboratory at Lowell. Although
We knew by hear-say, that it was large, yet were we
surprised when we came into view of its real magnitude,
ami still more by the extent and complication of its truly
Immense business. The whole massive structure is in
fact one vast chemical laboratory, in which the processes
of this wonderful art are constantly going on. Medico
chemical science has found that the curative properties
of any substance exist in some one or more of its com
ponent parts. Thus the remedial effects of opium are
due solely to the morphia ifeontains, although this is
but one-eighteenth part of its weight; the other seven
teen parts are gum, extractive and inert or offensive
matter. Dr. Ayer’s system separates the medical pro
perties of each substance employed, and we are here
shown the processes by which the virtues of each reme
dial agent are chased through the- alembics until they
come out completely pure at last. These concentrated,
purified medical properties, or virtues, are finally com
bined together to produce the remedies which have
made themselves a reputation for unrivalled excellence,
all over the world. Not only does the Doctor disclaim
all secrecy in his art and explain every process and every
particular, but he maintains that this is the only process
by which the people can be supplied with the best pos
sible remedies for .the treatment of disease. The For
mula by which his remedies are made are published in
the medical Journals and have been presented to a large
part of the medical Faculty of the United States, and
gre constantly sent by mail to such physicians as apply
for theln. —Daily Chronicle, Sari Francisco. ' am

By the Rev. Francis M. Dimmick, of Cincinnati, O.
In One Large 12mo. Volume. 427 pages. Price, $1.25.
“In this volume, the opposing arguments to one or
two popular Baptist fictions, are presented in the style
of ah interesting narrative and dialogue ingeniously,
arranged, and forcibly and impressively put. The ar
guments for the pedo-baptist faith and practice are
clearly and logically set forth, with all the charms of a
romance. The story is attractive, ingenious and in
structive. It is just the book for general circulation,
and will be popular, and will prove a timely antidote
to the proselyting zeal of our Baptist friends, and will
serve to enlighten and settle wavering minds on this
subject.” —American Presbyterian.
“ Tlie arguments contained in this work were mainly
presentefl by the author, in a series of letters to a sister,
designed to answer the positions of the Baptist denomi
nation, and show that their doctrines are founded in
error. The" argument is interwoven with a story that
relieves its abstract, and what might be otherwise to
many uninteresting characters, and will doubtless be
read where simply controversial works would not.” —
