PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND-
RENT.
The proceedings of a meeting of The
new National Association, organized to
promote such an amendment of the pre
amble of our national constitution as
will secure a national recognition of
God and the Christian religion will be
found in another column. In the
absence of Rev. Dr. Eddy, the Presi
dent, Ex-Gov. Pollock, Vice-President,
occupied the chair on the first evening
of the session, accepting the position
with a few words of address in his usu
al well-considered and outspoken Chris
tian tone. Hon. Wm. Strong, of the
Supreme Court of the State, gave an ad
dress of great historical interest and log
ical accuracy, suclr as befitted a pro
found jurist. Ho referred to the univer
sal surprise felt by people on first learn
ing that our Constitution contained no I
recognition of any governmental rela
tion to God, Such is the universal con
viction that, in a nation like . ours, this
recognition must be a thing of course
that all supposed, until the contrary fact
was publicly noticed, that it must be
there. Ho dwelt upon the, point that
its omission was an ignoring of the
principles upon which every colony of
the present republic was,founded—God
and Christianity having been honored in
every colonial charter. He contended
that, in spite of their omission from the
Constitution; they aro still well inter
woven in our governmental functions.
They remain the foundation of the Eng
lish common law as here• in use, and
they are recognized in many of the forms
of the civil law and 'acts of public ad
ministration.
Judge Strong was followed by Rev.
Dr. Goddard, who spoke ably and evan
gelically on the general subject.
On the second day the chair was oc
cupied by Dr. Edwards. Many mem
bers from abroad, including delegates
from the northwestern States, were
heard respecting the state of feeling con-
Corning the proposed amendment, in
their respective neighborhoods. Among
the speakers on the resolutions, were_
Prof. licilvaine, of Princeton, Dr. sun
kin, Rev. W. T. Eva, Rev Dr. Morton
and Rev. W. T. Milligan. The attend
ance, except at the evening assemblies,
was not late, but a wide extent of ter
ritory was represented; and the charac
ter of the membership such as to give
importance to the meeting.
THE ENGLISH MURDER GABE.
It will be seen, on our secular news
page, that the murderer. Muller was exe
cuted according to sentence, on the 14th
ult. We were all along surprised at
the amount of sympathy gotten up for
him in , the face of testimony, which, as
circumstantial evidence, was of the
strongest conceivable character. Even
upon the platform he re-asserted his in
nocence, but at the last moment before
being swung off, he confessed to the
orime. We suppose all are satisfied
now that the judgment of the court
was just. We notice this case simply
as an illustration, of a point little
thought of, the case of a per
son really guilty of murder, the denial of
guilt is a crime second only to the murder
itself, and sometimes fully equivalent i to it.
Every theory by which reprieve of Mul
ler, as an 'innocent rnan, was sought to
be obtained, involved some innocent
person in the crime. It exposed some
innocentperson to the gallows. Throngh
such another m nrder, the-wretched man
who has now gone to his final account
would have screened himself frona lL the
retribution which he knew to be due to
him and him aloriq.

NATIONAL ASSOOIATION FOR AMEND
MENT TO THE OONSTITIITION.
A mass Convention of this body held
a session of great interest on. Tuesday
and Wednesday, Nov. 29th and 30th, in
the West. Arch Street Presbyterian
Church. The, large building was filled
- upon both evenings, when addresses of
great power were delivered by the Hon.
Judge Strong, the Hon. James 'Pollock,
the Rev. Drs. Goddard, lSiellvaine,
Schwarts, Junkin, Edwards and others.
Letters were read from prominent men
in various sections of.the country, ands
large representation of delegates from
4nany States were present.
Under the form of Resolutions, the
Association preiented and urged upon
the attention of the people of the land,
the following considerations in support
of their single object,. viz.: memoriali
zing Congress in behalf of an' Amend
ment to the Constitution embodying a
national recognition of God, the Lorcl .
Jesus Christ, and the Holy Scriptures:
RESOLUTIONS
•
1. That a national recognition of God,
the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy
Scriptures as proposed in the memorial
of this Association to Congress, is clear
ly a scriptural duty which it is. national
peril to disregard.
2. That in consideration of the gener
al diffusion of religious intelligence,
principles and institutions throughout
our country ; in view of the many ex
press recognitions of Christianity by the
Constitution and the Legislative enact,
ments of the several States, and in view
also of the religious history of the found
ing of this government, it is a striking
and solemn fact that our present nation
al constitution is so devoid of 'any dis
tinctive Christian feature that " one of
our chief magistrates once refused to ap
point a day of fasting and prayer in an'
hour of public calamity, becauSe the na
tion in its constitution recognized no
God, and that in a treaty, contracted
with a Mohammedan power, during the
second administration of 'Washington, it
is formally declared that the Govern
ment of the United States is not in any
sense founded on the Cbrititian religion ;'
that it has in itself no character of en
mity against the laws,. religion or tran
quility of Mussulmen.".
3. That the measures proposed by
this Association are not sectional nor
sectarian nonpartisan , but the , gener al voice of Christian patriotism asking
that which is right and wholesome,
which is in keeping with most of our an
tecedents, and which will not operate
oppressively upon the conscience of any
citizen.
4. That the state of 'the, times, recent
and present, and the state of public sen
timent warrant and encourage the at
tempt to secure the amendment to the
Constitution which is proposed by this
Association.
In view of the great and encouraging
progress which this cause has made dur
ing the past six months, and in view of
the great importance of speedy action
in the matter, the Association urgently
request citizens in'every section of the
country at once, individually or by or
ganizations, to engage in securing the
'circulation and signature . of the memo
rial-and the return of the signatures ob
tained to the Corresponding Secretary,
John Alexander, Esq, 1925 Arch street,
Philadelphia.
The entire press of the country, sec
ular and religious, is earnestly request
ed to publish., the proceedings and also
the Form of memorial herewith -appen

To the Honorable, the.a

.of Representatives in Congress assem•l
We, citizens of the United States, re

great :usefulness, ,
PHILADELPHIA., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1864.
MISSIONARY BOXES.—We notice with great
pleasure-- the more so as we have editorially
interested ourselves in the matter—that the
spirit of aiding our frontier Hg.rne Missionar
ies, by missionary boxes, is awaking in our ei*
churches. The North Broad St. Church, Dr.
Adams'has just forwarded to .a distant laborer
and his family such a box containing over
$4OO yalue of contents. • We also learn ti 34
the ladies of Dr. Brabuerd's church, and of
Cavalry church, are each making up other
which are likely to be well filled. Thougli
not in this city, it i s appropriate to add that the
Central church, Wilmington, S. C., have just:
sent off a boi valued at $485, and have paid
for the American Presbyterian for one year,
for the Home Missionary. Good .examples
these. Ladies of other churches, take hold
COMPENSATION Da3LaicnEn.—We notice in
The Presbyterian that Rev. Dr. Slackwood,,
pastor of the Ninth Presbyterian church, Q.
S. in this city, has been called to the Knox
Presbyterian church, Hamilton; C. W. This
is the church from which Rev. Dr. Irvine ;
the new and popular pastor;of the Westmin
ster church in this city, Was called away.
Philadelphia certainly owes them a pastor.
Whether Dr. Blac,kwood feels himself bound
to liquidate the obligation, we have not
learned. .
To )3s INsrALLsu.—The Philadelphia Cen
tral Presbytery (0. S.) hai. appointed next
Sabbath evening for the installation of Rev.
Alexander Reed, in the 'church, 'corner of
Eighth and Cherry streets. Dr. Shields is to
preach the sermon, Dr: isfusgi 'aveto charge
the pastor, and Dr. Henry the people. We
have a pleasant acquaintance with the incom
ing pastor, and know him as a large-hearted
and earnest working minister—a man who in 1 ,
this city, will make his mark, and what
better, make it for Christ. We hiartily con-1
gratulate the church on their acquisition.

CORRESPONDENOE ON RECRUITING.
Prof. E. D. Saunders, D. D :
DEAR SIR; --Knowing the deep interest
you take in the success of our armies and the
maintenance of that spirit of loyality to the
Government among our citizens so necessary
to success,; we take the liberty of addressing
a few lines to you on the subject of recruit
ing. CannOt you, who command the sympa
thy and respect of our whole community,
aid our cause by your counsel, and infuse
some of your own spirit• into the slumbering
energies of our citizens ? By systematic
effort and time to work in, Philadelphia can
ashy furnish her quota in any future call
for men. We_ earnestly solicit your aid in
bringing the matter before our fellow-citizens,
and the ward of which we are residents.
Truly, and respectfully
Your obedient servants, '
MANY CITIZENS OF THE SEVENTH WARD.
Confined by injuries received from a rail
way accident whilst prosecuting a plan to
promote recruiting, the . undersigned can
only at present write his views on 'the great
Subject Of,the unexpected communication
from Many Citizens of the Seventh - ward."
Recruiting has been progressing at the rate
of more than fifty men a day until the city
has` now a surplus of about (3,000) triree
thousand. At no time, with so little ejOrt,
have volunteers - been obtained. Several
causes have - conspired to: produce this result
A few will be named as incentives to action :
First. The city has been favored with the
untiring labors of: unselfish patriots, among
whom may be particularly named our con
stituted authorities, the Bounty Fund Corn
and, as inferior to none, the editors of
all our joutlinals, which, to any perceptible
extent, reach the great masses-Of society.--
Let none of these upholders of our cause re
mit. their exertions. - •
Second. In ,;a belief almost universal, and,
doubtless, 'well founded, that the Government
is rapidly gaining upon the rebellion, many
nobly desire to take a part in the closing
scenes of the . war. Let every one ,encourage
so Patriotic an inspiration.
Third. Owing to the fluctuation in, prices,
many of the Manufacturing establishments
have laid in but a scanty supply of raw ma
terials, and the prospect of a hard winter,
as a consequence, favors recruiting. Let the
truth, that our soldiers are the best clothed
and fed of any in the world, be: kept con:
scantly before the public.
Let meetings be called in the wards, suffi
dent to enable energetic committees to ob
tain the means necessary to offer, not a ward
bounty, but a - merited premium to every one
who will look up a recruit. This requires on
the part of committee-men the most self
denying labor. But let all who thus toil
cheer their hearts with the \ reflection that it
is donelor the noblest of countries and the
best of Governments ; done for the present
age and all coming time; done for the cause
of humanity—the cause of God.

MITCHELL'S NEW GENERAL ATLAS
We earlier expressed our high apprecia
tion of this much esteemed, large Atlas for
families and offices. A new edition before
us has been rendered still morevaluable by
additions and larger, maps. It now has
eighty-six maps and plans exhibiting every
part, of ;the world, very clearly engraved and
beautifully colored into subdivisions ; and is'
acc6mpanied with valuable statistics of the
population and size of all governments.—
We now see the'new States of:West Virginia
and Nevada, as also Montana, Idaho, and
Arizona' Territories, Railroads completed
and proposed, including those to the. Pacific
and the Over-land Mail Route ; our - large
cities in Wards and streets, new counties,;
plans of , inaportant harbors ; our forts and
battle places , generally appear.
. .
Its new post:office list is an excellent index
of places on the maps, and even of some too
small to appesir a Among the additions, we
are.glad to find a much larger map of Pales
tine, locating, the Twelve Tribes, and places
of interest to 'Aible; "readers:; with ancien
and. modern nam es ;. and a scale of.miles
adapted to the Roman and our statute mea.
sure ; also - a:Plan Of Jerusalem as it now is.
-A highly . ; convenient :diagram to show the
differenaetbetweenithe•time of day at Wash
ington and prominent, localities all over the
; together .with straight line distances
from,. Washington, will, we think, be hailed
with,rnarlted interest. The . neatly executed
lettering of maps throughout the Atlas
renders theni more readable than in any
other maps w,e, remember to have seen. Mr.
George P. Matson, - - the city salesman, we
trust, will continue , to Meet with the favor
already apparent-from his large list of orders,

"The Most Comprehensive & Important Biblical
Work of the Age,"
Lange's Commentary,
A. Commentary on the Holy Scriptures—
Critical, Doctrinal, and Homiletical—by John P. Lab ge
D. D., in , connection with a number of Eminent Euro
pean Divines. Translated from the German, and edited;
with additions original and selected,
In connection • with Americpai Divines of various Evan
gelical Denominations. VOLUME FIRST . CONTAIN_
ING A GENERAL INTRODUCTION AND TEE GOSPEL
ACCORDING TO MATTHEW.
This Theological and Homiletical Cominentary by
Dr. Lange, Ac., is the most comprehensive and impor
tant Biblical work of the age. It presents the text in a
literal translation, with the principal readings and a
threefold commentary, Oriticat, Doctrinal, and" Honti
tettead," under distinct and separate heads. The critical
notes explain all the difficult words and passages; the
doctrinal and ethical thoughts present the chief doc
trines and precepts of the text; the homiletical hints
suggest themes and. points for sermons and Bible
lectures, and exhibit the endless applicability of the
Word of God to all claSses and conditions of men.
There are standard commentaries. on special por
tions of the Scriptures, which excel'all others in some
particular aspect, but taking all things into considera
tion, the Commentary of Lange, in the opinion of com
petent American judges, is the richest, the soundest,
and the most useful commentary ever produced, and
far better adapted than any other to meet the wants of
all evangelical denominations. It is learned and the..
rough, yet popular, and free from the pedantry of
learning; orthedox, yet liberal, and truly catholic. It
combines with original research the most valuable
results of ancient and modern exegesis. It is almost a
complete exegetical Library, and a rare thesaurus for con
stant reference and use. Although mainly adapted for
the use of pastors and students, it can be read with
profit by every diligent layman.
The American edition is ur dertaken by an association
of well-known scholars from the leading evangelical
denominations of this country, under the editorial care
and responsibility' of Dr. Schaff, of New York, and with
the full. approbation 'of Dr. Lange. It will be pushed
forward-as fast as the magnitude and difficulty of the
undertaking will permit. It gives the original entire,
without omission or alteration, and at the same time
valuable additions 'which give the work an Anglo-
German character, and make it more useful to the
English reader.
The First Volume contains ono.fourth more matter
than the original. Other Volumes of the Commentary
