Scottish Covenanters and the Stuart Case,—
"The mealltyaor the Reformed Presbyterian Church
in Great Itritain. are peculiarly anxious 'to disavow
all sympathy with the action of the General Synod
of the Reformed Presbyterian Church against Mr.
Stuart. Many of them are also strongly opposed
to the use of hymns in social and . . public :worship;
and the subject was brought before the meeting of
the Synod in Edinburg in May last, by a memorial,
and was fully discussed. The, old use -and wont of
the Church was against the employment of unin
spired hymns of praise; but even the Cameronians,
as they are termed, have been .unable, to resist the
whole tendency of modern song service in the sanc
tuary. It is,now asserted that_hymns are beginning
to be freely nee& the eerkregational Sabbath
schools, and that great majortty.of the .- laymen,

Wind could never be persuaded that such a

.is consistent with sound Presbyterianism. Yet
all our sympathies in doctrine and in polity, were
with the Old School. We were crowded to the

the Old School with, whom our views were in
unison, while we disapproved of their excinding
acts. Our decision to remain with the Old School
was prompt and firm, and not less prompt was our

mer letter4mitdOnention of the munificent ,:pro
ject of Iren2VlVegs,-Esg,.; of Aurora, the found
ing of a Female Seminaii*si.high order in the
beautiful village of his residence. He has been
spared to witness, the consummation of his plans,
and to see a grand building erected his lib
erality, consecrated ~to its sacrecPpurposes. The
dedication occurred on the 23d of July, and was
a memorable occasion.
The village, is one of the most beautiful in our
State, situated on the eastern shore of Cayuga
Lake, on elevated ground, rising gently from the
she& Here Wells set apart seventeen acres
of land for the proposed institution. Upon this
he has erected a fine building, complete in all its
parts, at an expense of $100,00; In furnishing
the same hits expended $50,f00 ; school
rooms, dor`mitories, recitation rooms;.parloys and
kitchens , being supplied with all that is needful
for living and study. The building is also: fur
s,
nished,with gas, manufactured upon the premises,
and:inter to each story from the neighboring
hills.: Every thing necessary to health, comfb, ft,
and codvnienee seems to have been provided
for in the most liberal manner"; ads:rail has been
given so cheerfully, and ivith Such= apparent
relish as to,present an example of intelligent and
.
prineelY liberality.
Many ewinent men participated in the dedica
tion. ,HOd. N. K Hall, of BuffalO, was the
President of the day. The prayer of dedication
was offered by Dr. Condit, of Auburn. A letter
of regret from Chancellor Pruyn, of Albany, was
read. Telegrams were received, from Gov. Fen
ton 'and from Pres. White of Cornell University.
Hofi. Chas: J. Folger; of Geneva, read the deed of
gift by which the princely donor, for the consid
eratiorcof Onesollar, makes all this property over to
the Truste.ei for aPernale Seminary. The Address
of Presentation by the founder, giving his views
and motive in the gift; was read by his son-in law;
James H. Welles, Esq., •of ,New York. Hon
Charles B. Sedwick, of. Syracuse, in a handsome
speech, received the gift in behalf of the Trustees,
thanking Mr. Wells "from the - bottom of his
heart," for that which he is thus doing for
female education. Speeches were also made by
Rev, S. I. Prime, D.D., of the New York Ob-
server, Geo W. Curtis, Esq., and others.
A faculty of instruction is already appointed,
of which Rev. W. W. Howard, of Aurora, is the
President, although he still remains pastor of the
Presbyterian church. Miss M. M. Carter is
Principal, with eight other lady teachers for the
various deptfrtmeitts. The school is to open un
der their auspices about the middle of September,
the academic year being divided into two terms,
to close about the last of June. Henry Wells,
Esq. thus builds a monument for himself, such
as few men lave the means, and fewer still the
heart, to build. May his, anticipations for its
permanent and wide-spread usefulness be more
than realized.
OUR SUMMER RESORTS.—The Watkins Glen
is one of the most romantic, beautiful spots any
where to be found. It is now frequented by
thousands of visitors; sometimes many hundreds
in a day. Philadelphians' should not fail to see
it on their way to Niagara. It has not the
grandeur of the latter; but in curious and won
deiful formation of rock and gorge, it certainly
is one of the most remarkable and interesting
spots to be seen.
Clifton Springs is another sort of place ; a
calm, quiet, sacred health retreat; presided over
by a big hearted Methodist; thronged by Chris
tians of every denomination,'all alike welcome;
central in location, easy of access, comfortably
full always, crowded and running over in the
summer, with its pleasant chapel, its frequent
meetings; its ample reading room, its well-ap
pointed gymnasium, its cool groves, its varied
baths, its healing waters, its well-furnished tables,
and all conducted in the interests of benevolence
—these make it gm best possible home for the
invalid and the weary. Our. own• clergy are
always largely represented among its guests, and
do much to give tone to its pleasant society, It
is one of the best places in the world in' Which
to rest and recruit for the fall and winter cam
paign in the crowded city.'
PERSONAL, &o.—Auburn is certainly one of
the most beautiful places on this continent. A
glance at its streets, at the ; present
we e are
also a rapidity of 'growth , stiell — as we j are accus
tomed to expect from Western towns alone; with
this difference—here everything is substantial,
indicating steady advance an permanent pros
perity. It is not of the shinty, Cheyenne style,
nor like " a lodge in a garden of cucumbers," to
b e removed when the summer is over. Five
years ago this infant city was reckoned at ten or
twelve thousand inhabitants, now it has sixteen
thousand.
The building of the First Church is also pro
gressing finely. Dr. Hawley, the pastor, is ab
sent on his summer vacation, at his usual retreat,
the Catskill Mountains. Dr. Condit is most ac
ceptably supplying his pulpit. Dr. Huntington
it still supplying in Baldwinsville, except for a
Sabbath or two while the church are enjoying
the ministrations of their former pastor, Rev. J.
F. Kendall. Rev. Henry Fowler, of the Cen
tral Church, we are sorry to say, is still in bed.
He was more seriously prostrated on the 4th of
July than we had supposed. Although slowly
recovering, he is still a great sufferer. And
this is the hardest thing he ever had to do, to
stop work. Dr. Herrick Johnson is expected to
spend a part of his summer in Auburn, and the
people of the First Church are expecting to
hear his magic voice for a few Sundays in their
pulpit.
Rev. Geo. Freeman, one of the oldest members
of the Rochester PreSbytery, finished his earthly
course, 'at hill late residence in Parma Centre, on
Sunday last, aged about 73 years. He has not
preached much of late years, but has been
spending the, evening of his days on a little,
farm. He was a good man, taking a deep in
terest in all that pertained to the welfare of our
churches. He has been failing in health for'
some months, conscious that the end was near.;
but more than peaceful; full, indeed, as he said•,
of " strong consolation." GENESEE.
Rochester, August 1, 1868.
REUNION ITEMS.
Rev. Dr. Beatty, the accomplished chairman
of the . Reunion Committee of the other branch
and one of the wisest and best men in the body,
writes to The Presbyterian as 'follows
"The Pittsburgh Circular requests the Commit
tee on Re-union to confer with the other Com
mittee; and'the Presbyter has called upon me by
naine, in conjunction with Dr. Adams, to call a
meeting, of, the Joint Committee. . Private and
personal appeals have also been made to me. .
. . The CoMmittee of the NewSehool was
continued by their Assembly, for certain purpo
ses: Ours was not; but on the contrary, was
virtually discharged by the acceptance of the re
port, and completed action upon it. > There exists
no such Committee of our Assembly. I have no
authority to call them together; and if convened,
there would be no right or propriety in our re
commending, in any official capacity, any action
for' the Presbyteries. The New School Commit=
tee believe that they have 'no authority to go be
yond or aside ' from their .Assembly, in sending
down the Basis; nor would we have, if continued,
as they have been. . . . In no form can this
amendment come ,officially before the Presby
teries. They 'must's:Let on the Basis sent down
to them, and so they will do. Our Presbyteries
must vote in the same way, because the' amend
ment only became available if acted on by the
other Assembly ;'lmit they may do as our ASsem=
bly did: after such vote, express their preference
for the ardendmmit, and it will have its -Niue
weight with both brandies of the Church. . .
. Those of our Presbyteries which are willing
to go into a union with the -New School on the
Term's sent'down, will vote aye; those who are
unwilling will vote nay; their preference for ' , tile
amendment having nothine , to do with' this deci
sion immediately. , But, after it is•made; each
may, on the one hand, express a preference z for
the' amended Basia, and a wish to 'have ' •it :still
urged before the other body by our next- Gen
eral Assembly ; , &those who vote nay, may; -with
equal propriety, declare their readiness, under
such amendment as they see fit to suggest, to go
into a union with the other branch. : . .
It is to be expected • that such Presbyteries' as
Blairsville, Philadelphia, and others, whose com
missioners voted against the Basis, will vote no.
But that any number of, Presbyteries whose re
presentatives voted in favor, should vote adVersely,
and because they prefer the amendment, is scarcely
to be expected; and certainly not to be desired.
They mistake, if they suppose such 4 course will
tend to secure the concurrence of the other
branch. Just the contrary."
At present, the most manifest diffiCUlty seems
in settling the basis. One of the bodies wishes
that adopted' and recommended by the Joint
Committee, prbfessedly taking the sykem of
truth set forth in the Westminster Confession
as the system of faith, but allowing every Man
to explain and illustrate its different parts as
seems best to himself, [!!!] thus opening up the
way, it is painfully felt by many; for an alMost
endless variety, in the same body, of doctrines,
and teachings, and even practices, pyobhbly, in
regard to many of the most momentous truths
of our most holy faith. This may be contended
for as the right or liberty of every man. But if
a man want§ entire liberty why go into any church
organization at all ? Why have a system of truth
unless there is some uniformity of vithva and
teachings and binding obligations in regard it?
What is a body worth where there is no real' one
ness of faith. and principles—the main-spring of
acts? How can two walk together except they
be agreed ?-=Christian Instructor.
[A specimen of the magnanimous way in which
some of United Pitsyterian brethren are
helping on the cause of Presbyterian Union.]
It is said that the Indians are unable to com
pute the value of large, sums of money, and, in
selling their commodities, prefer receiving a small
sum that they can exactly estimate to a' much
larger one to which they are unable to aftadi any
definite value. Is not their case parklrel with
that of the opponents of Reunion in our Church?
They are willing to receive to their communion
a member, a Presbytery, or even a whole Synod
upon its acceptance of our Confession of Faith
as the standard of religious faith and practice,
yet hesitate, falter, and finally decline to receive
the entire dhurch upon precisely the same terms.
Is it not simply 'the magnificent scale upon which
this union is about to be accomplished that daz
zles these apprehensive Christians ? Do they not
rather pause before the large aggregate of num
bers involved in the proposed accession th,ar(l)e
fore any imagined danger to the purity of .the
faith in the future Presbyterian Church,? They
are not able to compute the active forces of
this United Church, or the grand momentum
of its future influence, and so timidly decide that
Reunion is, for the present, impracticable.—" W.
.M., of Schuyler Presbytery" in, The Presbyterian
Banner.
I believe that this Union, so called with the
New School, if accepted by our people, will be
the hardest blow, that ever struck our branch
of the Church—not that it will obliterate the
Old School body, but corrupting a part, it will
involve the whole in the most angry contentions
to last, none can say how long, before the Old
School could emerge from the confusion. The
honest and hopeful way to oppose, it is for all,
who are truly against it, to plant themselves on
open and absolute refusal to unite with the New
School as a body, on any basis whatever, though
welcoming all suitable persons who wish to come
to us from them. Let us take that position,
maintain it to the last, and having done all, to
stand. If overpowered by numbers, disown the
union, and claiming to be the Old School Presby
terian Church, make that claim good, with the
help of God, before the Christian world. . .
. As to our poor church. in Kentucky, it is too.
small and too weak to stand up under the pres
sure, not to say the odium, which this alliance
must induce. It must be avoided, either by the
defeat of the measure, or by separation from
those who will force it on us; or our churches,
with few exceptions, not twenty •in the Synod,
will waste away and go down.— W. L. Brecken
ridge in The Western Presbyterian.
Among the provoking things that our news
papers come to tell us of, is the side movement
now making by some of our Old School brethren
to defeat the plan of Reunion recommended by
the Joint Committee. If this well-meant but
ill-timed " Alleghany" plan results in disorgan
izing and defeating the whole scheme of reunion,
then upon the Old School must rest the respon
sibility. We earnestly hope that our New School
Presbyteries will unanimously approve the Com
mittee's plan—which in no vital regard differs
from the eleventh hour project whiCh is now
sprung on us by our Philadelphia and Alleghany.
brethren. Thus far nearly all the logic-chopping
and hair-splitting has been on the Old School.
side. We had reason to be thankful for the un]
animity and good humor that have been displayed.
by the " heretical " New School men from the
beginning. And if the wise and fraternal pro
posals for reunion are defeated, our side will not
be the greatest losers.—Dr. Theo. 1,. Culler in
The Evangelist.- • •
[Had " S. M. 0." writing of the First Church
Philadelphia] known the antecedents of the Rev.
Mr. Johnson, he would hot have been so much
surprised. Mr. J. was a student under Dr. Hall,
of Auburn, New York, and, like his worthy pre
ceptor, has had a good reputation': from the com
mencement of his ministry for sound Calvinism.
Even when a student, he acquired a reputation
for strict orthodoxy. Had our good brother been
in'the same'place of worship a few Sabbaths pre
viously, he might have heard a' sermon from an
Old School : minister, even a College Professor,
so lax. in its doctrinal statements as to call forth
expieSsiOns.of dissent and disapproval even [sic]
from Mr. Barnes. Philosophers do not deduce a
general principle froth a single fact.— The North
Western PrCsbyterian.
[Dr. Hodge at Albany, said : "Do not their
men teach these doctrines? Some say that three
fourths, others that one-half, of them do not. But
the question is not how many r The principle
is do any?" It's a poor rule that wont work both
ways.]

WESTISAVISTER' COLLEGE, MISSOURII—Rev.
N. L. Rice, D.D., has lately accepted the
Presidency, and enters upon his duties at the
commencement of next term. A Theological
department is to be connected with the College,
which is possessive of the " Declaration and Tes
timony" Synod of Missouri. The Trustees in
notifying Dr. Rice of his election say : " We do
ask Dr. Rice to take any part of the controversy
between the Synod of Missouri and the General
Assembly, but express the opinion that it is es
sential to his own usefulness and to the success'
of the institution, that he should unite with one
of the Presbyteries in connection with the Synod
which we represent." Dr. Rice replies : " Whilst
I did not approve of the paper called the
Declaration, and Testimony, I am sure that no
thing but the terrible state of feelinc , then exist
ing could have induced our Assembly to pass the
extraordinary series of acts in relation to the
signers of it. Let us pray and hope, that as the
acerbity of feeling shall pass away, our Church
will fall back into the old channel, and thus
unity be restored."
PERSONAL. - Mr. Grote, the historian of
Greece, has been elected President of the Lon
don University College, in place of the late Lord
Brougham.—Rev. John P. Gulliver, D.D., of
Chicago, accepts the Presidency of Knox ol
lege at Galesburg, 111., and has purchased there
sidence of President Curtis, resigned.—Goldwin
Smith, we see it stated, has consented to take the
Chair of History in Cornell University, having
occupied the same chair in the University of
Oxford.—Richard Theodore Greener, a mulatto
youth, took the first prize for declamation 'at
Harvard. Among his competitors were some of
the sons of New England bearing such worthy
names as Pickering, Peabody, Dexter, and Tick
nor. Mr:Greener is the son of a poor woman
in Boston, and was fitted for college at Oberlin
and Andover. The second prize was taken by
Godfrey Morse,-a, , Jew.

be growing up under the conviction that a life
