DEFEAT OF *molt VONIMITTEIEN , • „ Again we have tp,phronlole t i lie,gailuro of the plan of Re-union between „piir own and, ,the other branch ,of the:PTeshyterian Chtire h in the United States. Again we are compelled to put the responsibility of failure upon the other branch While our Preihyteries have been votin in a solid column for "the Assemblies' Plan ; while many of our best men have waived most seribus objections, not willing to se - cm I to entertain lin : worthy suspicions of our old olioOl , hrethren ; while our whole Chßreh, .actid..Prot4tly, generously and in good faith, and thus has given a secotitk and !It 4tiplin'tkof,',M44s Wtinteirei be the obstacle to re-union on a fitoperbtsis, it was not with us; the course of the other side has been weak,. vatlillating, antreontradietorros that of men brought face o to lime providentially with a great question, • and. lacking heart and eourage_to meet it. While the Plan of the Joint Cominiiteeti' was not wholly satisfactory to ns, yet, taken as a whole, and with the explanatory papers. accom panying, we accepted it; we gave our Presbyte rial voice and vote for it, and would most cheer fully have abided by it, had it 'been consumma ted by .the Churehes. And we see overthrow with a tegret much "gteater than wouldhave been the measure of our joy if it had . suctieeded. It is, to our minds, a sad .proof of the. power of the exclusive type of Theology and of thinking , in the, as yet, greatest Presbyterian Church in America. True, it has thus far only transpired that a little over one-fourth of, their Preabyteries have negatived the plan,. Which ate enough, in the carefully drawn ordet cf adoption, to work its overthrow. And it may yet appear that a re epeotable majority of the Presbyteries has, in some form, assented to the Committee's articles. But, as our readers are ,aware, this, assent has been coupled with expressions of preference for quite another platform. Indeed, we belleVe but three of the. Presbyteries of the other branch have done, as every one of ours has , ,—given a downright decisive vote for the Joint Coramittee'S Plan as a finality. With these three exception; there has been some broad qualification inwoven with every Presbytery's, act i on, on that side, but all aimed at pretty much the same object, the striking out of the qualifying clauses from the doctrinal articles—the obnoxious Tenth Article, of course, being allowed to remain. Our regret, then, arises from the fact, which bids fair to go into history, that the type of doc trine and of character prevailing in a large part of the great Presbyterian Church of our day, as so unpromising. so narrow, so swayed by names and systems of men, so fearful of openly recognizing honest and safe differences of opinion within the plain and essential' andmarks of Calvinistic the ology, that they ,not only cannot achieve a union based upon the Scantily and cautiously liberal plan of the joint Cotpuittee, but that they did not dare to enter upon a canvass with such a plan deliberately iu view, hat must veer to this and that point to save themselves from utter over throw upon the bare question Of Re-union at all. This is the verdict Whieh,':we think, must, in all the sadness of an unweleometruth, be pronounced. Some things may, and doubtless will, be said in mitigation or controversion of this jtidgment, but for the present, we think it must stand. And now comes the most serious responsibility that has been laid upon the. New School Church Ilirme it • came into being.

We will in stance one case, already ; given at considerable length in our , columns. A United Presbyterian Doctor of Divinity, not a liberal" one either, as'stated in our issue of May 21, spent apart of the Sabbath in Hymn singing, and then brought a "liberal" member of his session to book for a like offence.

To rum ,is to be accounted, in a great measure, the rioting and consequent breakr ing of leads and loss of life which occurred in our city et the late election. Other reasons may be assigned: We may charge it upon the citizens of other States who, in_ their ,benevolence, came over into our •commonwealth in large hordes to render their assistance at the polls: But these visitors, and others, of like stripe with them, did not get bloody murder in their hearts until they were inflamed with that vile poison which has very significantly been termed Jersey lightning."

And here is one: to close every rum shop on election day.. Men ought to be sober when they exercise.such-important duties as are then demanded; of them. But they are not likety,to bp sober if the temptation, is before them to drink.,. They are, then at leisure, some of them weary, with running, some with talking, many disposed to be hilarious, a large number feel their consequence more than usual, and that is the very time of all , others when they will, if permitted, drink Without stint or measure what, ever. the publicans please to deal out to them.

Vali - The established Presbytery of Edinburgh through the failure of the town council to ap point a successor to Dr. Robert Lee, in Grey friars church before Sept. 15th, acquired the legal right to make tke presentation. ' They adopted the sensible course of presenting Rev. Mr. Wallace for whom the congregation had ex pressed their decided preference, and who is a disciple of Dr. Lee's. Some members of Pres bytery piotested against the action,• on account of Mr. Wallace's opinions, but declined to under take the expensive process of a legal prosecution. miir-The Elmira Daily Advertiser has a communi cation from the Rev. Thomas K. Beecher, of that city, which would be calculated to have a very mischievous tendency, if,his language were suf ficiently influential to have,much power of .mis chief. He is " grieved beyond expression, be cause of the evil work that is going on among the feeble CongregatiOnal and Presbyterian churches" in New York. "Brethren who mean well are busily at work : stirring up theSe churches to be come pronounced e,ongregational or else pro nounced. Presbyterian. Associations are being gathered up and famously published.. Secret let ters are 'written. Peaceful churches are distract ed and divided by, these . earnest but mistaken brethren." "As if," he says, "any man in' the world could tell any practical difference between theAwo denominations"-which he calls "Pres by-tweedledum--Congre tweedledee." A main difference between them which s he sees, is that " in one,the ministers and elders meet in Pres bytery and have a dull time; in the other the ministers and delegates meet in . Association, and have a duller time." And he advises the churches on that, field, which, by the working of the old Plan of Union have been so long "a little of both, and not much of either;" to cast lots—now that the. General. Assembly has forced them to become squarely the one or the other—and call them selves by• the name which shall thus be indicated.. The Congregationalist indulges in the argumen t= ad hominein method of argument, calling his. attention to one "practical difference" between the two',churches, viz.: " Our Presbyterian brethren, if they. have a pastor over one of their churches who seldom in dulges in any public utterance that does not prac tically inure to the benefit of the enemies of Evan gelical religion, are very apt to take a synodical rope and hang him quickly; while Congregation alists are more inclined to give him all the rope he wants, and let Rilm , hang himself."
