The General Assembly. ( Continued /ram page 173.) our efforts will be in vain without God's blessin g ; and it is true that pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall; and if God shall see this in us, He may bumble us by defeat in the very prospect of the union. Dr. M. hoped and believed this union was to be consummated. [Great applause.] Elder Robert Carter [applause] was introduced. lie said his heart was too full to say much. There were many reasons 'why he had been anxious, with Lthers, to see the union consummated at once. We have felt our Sabbaths tram pled down ; our people cannot get to the house of God through processions ; and this is one of the reasons why we long to get together and labor to stem the in coming flood of worldliness. But our dear country—to plant the Banner of the Cross over all its fair fields—this is our greatest desire and reason. The Moderator said he was happy to see officially confirmed the rumor of the approval of the basis of reunion by the brethren of the Old School. He was happy to say that the New School Assembly had been perfectly unanimous in accepting the proposed basis. For his part, he rejoiced most heartily at the happy termination of the labors of the Conference Committee. He thanked the venerable Father Musgrave for his kind cautions, but, though some of the Old School brethren might be indiscreet, he trusted that the feeling of Christian cordiality would prevent any dissension. The delegates having retired, other businesss was entered upon. The hear ing of the Bohemian clergymen was postponed to day; and by special con sent, the Rev. Charles Brown, Secretary of the Ministerial Relief Fund, was given an opportunity (having been re ported absent on Wednesday) to urge that cause. He said perhaps the best illustration he could give of ministerial relief was to relieve the Assembly of a long speech. He merely called attention to two points: the need of more churches contributing to this cause (1,300 do not), and that of presbyterial investigation into the needs of superan nuated minsters in Presbyteries. A communication, propoiing special prayer for the preservation of peace be tween this country and Great Britain, was received from the Assembly, and re ferred to the Committee on Bills and Overtures. The Rev. W. E. Moore, one of the Temporary Clerks, offered the following resolution, similarly referred: Resolved, That the growing disposition of the members of the Church to attend the opera and theatre, and to participate in the social dance, requires some further rp_mangir.... thP_ General Aliiiallllll-g -or an emphatic reaffirmation of its past action. The following action of the othei As sembly was adopted : Resolved, That the Basis of Reunion now passed Kent down to the Presbyte ries for their approval or disapproval, to be expressed in the manner named in the plan of Reunion, and that they be required to forward their answers previous to Nov. 1, 1869. 'Committee on Church Polity. The Committee on Church Polity (Dr. Darling's) reported on a number of over tures, one of which requires. Presbyteries to send to Synods a list of ministers with out charges, and a list of churches with out regular ministers, desirous of having a stated supply. This was referred to the following Special Committee, to re port to = the next Assembly : The Rev. J. F. Stearns, D.D., and J. G. Atter bury, D.D., both members of the Per manent Education Committee; the Rev. Henry Kendall, D.D., Secretary of. Home Missions; Judge Strong and Judge Williams. The Bills and Overtures Committees , (Dr. Chester's) reported, recommending that the Missionary causes which were discussed on Wednesday, be made re cipients of regular collections in the churches. This report caused a brief but vigorous debate, terminating in . re commitment. Resolved, That the Committee of Con ference on Reunion, together with the Moderator, be appointed , a Committee, in conjunction with a corresponding Commit. tee and Moderator of the other Assembly, to prepare and send down to the Presbyte ries and churches a pastoral letter in refer ence to the momentons question of re union, now submitted to their decision. The following minute from the Special Committee on the Decoration of Soldiers' Graves was adopted: The General Assembly (N. S.) of the Presbyterian Church takes pleasure in ac knowledging the invitation of the Kings County Department of the Grand Army of the Republic, to attend and take part in the ceremony of decorating the graves of our dead soldiers on Monday next. It,; gives us great pleasure to observe that this ceremony is not to take place on the Sab bath ; and we recommend that as many of the members of the Assembly as can be I spared from their other duties shall en: gage in offering this beautiful and appro priate tribute of patriotic memory and Jove. Your Committee recommend that that this paper be communicated to the Kings County Department of the Grand Army of the Republic. No reply to the protest adopted the other day bad been received from the Executive Committee G. A. R. of New York City. The Rev. E. D. Murphy, representa tive of the Port Society, addressed the General Assembly. It was incorporated in 1819.; religious meetings are held every night, and twenty-two public re ligious services in a week. The sailors we seek to benefit are from all - pars of THE ANTE I JOAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY JUNE 3, 1869. the globe, generally men between six teen and forty-five years of age. There are 120,000 of them going about the globe. This society aims to reach these. A church numbering over 1,000 of them is existing in this city. Converted sailors are bold, fearless Christians; it is generally the brightest and best who are on shipboard. SATUjiDAY MAY 29 In the morning after the Joint Pray er-meeting the report of the Committee on the General Re-union of the Presby terian Church, recommending the con tinuance of the Assembly's Joint Com-. mittee (Drs. Fisher and Humphrey), was adopted. The committee on army and navy chaplain cies„through Dr. Fisher, reported proposing a joint committee of five `:to' unite with similar committees from other Evangelical bodies, in urging the Gov ernment to deal more fairly With non- Episcopalian denominations in its ap pointments. Adopted. Drs. Fisher, Hat field, Rev. J. C. Smith, and Elders Dodge and Miller were appointed. The delegates of the Reformed Church of Bohemia, Revs. Tardy and . Kaspar were received rising, after Dr. Kendall had described his visit to their Assembly last year when he advised them to send this delegation, and after the reading of a letter from a Free Church missionary in Prague. Dr. Poor read an address drawn up by themselves. Mr. Kaspar spoke briefly in broken English and Counsellor Von Tar dy spoke at length in German, Dr. Poor acting as interpreter, in regard to their Church's needs—a Theological Semina ry, itinerant ministers, a Protestant Nor mal School for teachers, &c. In all they want raise before te 500th anni versary of Buss's birth (July 6th) the sum of $30,000, and have got $6,000 already. Their Church has 80,000 members in 60 congregations. The Moderator made an appropriate reply, referring to their illustrious his- The Mileage Committee reported a balance of $2,067.24, after paying $lO,- 053.57 mileage, and proposed that .a special tax of 4 cents per member be levied to pay the expenses of the No vember session. The rate of 8 cents per member, for May sessions, was reaf firmed, and the report adopted. The Welsh Calvinistic Methodists (in session at Newark, 0.), having sent a dispatch of sympathy and congratulation to the two Assemblies, it was voted that the words of Moses to Hobab be sent as a joint reply. Mr. Chidlaw (a Welsh man) spoke highly of the body in ques tion and its work. Dr. Prime, of The Observer, spoke for the Evangelical Alliance; Dr. Cuy ler for the National Temperance Union; Mr. Norman_White --for -the.--Sabbath Comte - Mee; Dr. Fisher for the American and: Foreign Christian Union. Resolu tions expressive of the Assembly's plea sure in learning that the World's Evan gelical Alliance will meet in New York in 1870, were offered and adopted. MONDAY, MAY 31ST In the morning Judge Strong urged the legal importance of a full attendance at Pittsburg and explained the means by which the legal continuity of the two Assemblies is to be secured. He and Judge Haines were appointed a com mittee to decide some doubts as to who could be properly recognized as mem bers. Reports of Committees, declining to recommend action as to Protestant places of worship in Europe, and fixing the list of delegates to corresponding bodies, were adopted. • A resolution commending the pro posed German Theological Seminary at Newark, was adopted after a speech by Dr. Pool., and remarks by other breth ren. His Presbytery have seven Ger man churches, one of their pastors being the Editor of the Am. Tract Society's Botschaffer. One church supports a missionary in Germany and contributes generously to our own causes. The Presbyterian' Church (he claimed) was best fitted to to mediate between Luther an and Reformed, and while all these people are yet to be Americanized, they must not be neglected till then. To supply them German pastors, this measure was undertaken, (since the attempt to make Union Seminary do the work, had failed,) a large lot 'secured fora building, and two able Professors had undertaken the work. Ile appealed, for money and for students, and hoped that we would not be behind the Methodists and Bap tists in the. work. Had we hid such a Seminary twenty years ago in this city, it would not have been the case to-day that we have not here a German Church of our name, and that intemper ance and Sabbath-breaking abound among them. A resolution deprecating war with Great Britain was indefinitely postponed, being espwially opposed by Dr. Sunder land as &plying equal faultiness in each party to the pending difficulties. Additional reports from delegates to foreign bodies were received, and ordered to be printed. The Bohemian churches were commended to the sympathy and aid of our people, and to the American and Foreign Christian Union, and a delegation to their next Assembly was ordered. The Report on the recommendation of the Re firmed [Dutch] General Synod, approved of the suggestions of a gene ral advisory council of the Evangelical churches and recommended Revs. Drs. Heacock and Hastings, and Arthur Mitchell with Elders, Strong and Harris as our Delegates thereto. Adopted. In the afternoon the reports of the Standing Committees on Home Missions Freedmen, Church Erection and Educa tion were taken up and adopted, and the Committees discharged. Revs. J. Few Smith, Dr. S. D. Bur chard (for three years) Dr. Norman Seaver (two years) were elected Trustees of the Church Erection Fund; and El ders J. C. Farr and C. S. Wentz, Revs. Drs. March and Shepherd with Mr. Eva were elected Trustees of the Pres byterian House; Elder Ketcham was ap pointed Auditor of the Church Erection Fund. After some unimportant business and the usual complimentary resolutions, the Assembly adjourned to meet in Pitts burg in November. SPEECH OF DR, HERRICK JOHNSON ON THE BASIS OF REUNION. I speak, sir, at this time and in this presence, with great besitstion and with the utmost diffidence. But I cannot for: bear giving expression to convictions that I believe ought to havet utterance now and here. There are some things that should be fully and distinctly understood. I speak in the interests of the future, in the interests of harmonY, in the interests of an 'abiding peace. And lest my posi tion should-be misunderstood, let me say by way of preface, that I have been ear nestly in favor of the reunion of the two branches of the Presbyterian Church from the first, provided that union could be consummated on a satisfactory basis. My voice and vote were iven in favor of the basis submitted to the considera tion of the Presbyteries in 1867. They were given again, in favdr of the basis overtured to the Presbyteries in 1868. They were given still agin'n, in favor of final amendments suggested by our Re union Committee. And ithey are given now, to the basis before s. Let me also say tha t , theologically, my leanings have been a d are, rather in the direction of' the othe Branch. My doctrinal:position wouldrobably be re garded as more distincti ely Old School ,ip than New School. It is hot, therefore, because of any opposition to reunion, or because of any fear of interference with my own personal rights and liberties, that I speak. Concerning this, I have no ap prehension. I But it is not the part of wisdom to ig nore the truth, or to attempt to be blind' to the facts. There are', differences be tween the Old School and the New School. They are diffel.ences that are known. They do reallylexist. And they ought to be recognized and acknowledged. To my mind, they are not differences that justify the continued separation of tbe two great branches of the Presbyterian Church. I confidently believe they are consistent with a hearty and harmonious union. _Perhaps they could not be better expressed than in the words so happily used by Dr. Adams, yesterday, in hie address to the other Assenibly as the delegate from this body,--an address, by the by, which should be put in per manent form'and go on record, as meet in all respects the demands of the great occasion. " You i "'said he, "are the con servators of orthodoxy,—we, the con servators of liberty." Who does not re g ard that as a fair statement of what may be called the characteristic bias of each body? t .. Now, in the proposed Reunion on the Basis as presented, is it expedted that the Old School are to yield their con servation of orthodoxy ? No I Are we to , yield our conservation of liberty ? No I Perish ,' the union ; rather than that. God forbid the union forever, rather than that. A. liberty within the limits of sound Calvinism, the liberty always , enjoyed in the body, and exer cised to day as fully as it was twenty years ago,' it is neither our wish nor our purpose to surrender. Let it be dis tinctly. understood. There should be no misapprehension in regard to the matter. Let it go forth to the other Branch of the Church and to the world. If lam wrong in my judgment, I ask to be cor rected here and now. Not a dozen votes in this Assembly, not a half-dozen Pres byteries in our whole connection, would favor this Basis of Reunion, if its ac ceptance and adoption were thought to involve the giving up of this liberty— such liberty, e. g. as recognizes and freely allows those view's in theology that are held by Albert Barnes. Albert Barnes! revered, honored, beloved-- ripened . .now to a golden cempleteness— ' ready 'to' go to him grave in a full age lik,e as a shock Of corn cometh in, in its season, and ever presenting himself to my thought as of all men in the world, the guileless man. The plan of Reunion 'now submitted for our consideration does not, in express terms, name and concede this liberty ; but the clearest recognition of it is im plied. The preamble says, " Each re cognizing the other as a sound and orthodox body according to the princi ples of the ConfessiOn common to both." Our present liberty, therefore, is an orthodox liberty. It is so regarde&—so stated. We are orthodox now in our free exercise of it: . And hence no re straints are to be put upon it in the united body. But, it is said, this is not in the basis itself to be overtured to the Presbyte ries. Other words are, however, that are just as explicit and satisfactory, viz.: " The Confession of Faith shall continue to be sincerely received and adopted as containing the system of doctrine taught in the Holy Scriptures." Only what has been and is, can "continue.to be." And the words , are applicable to each 'body alike. So that our sincere re.cep tion and adoption of the Confession of Faith in the union, is to be as it is now in the separation. Our brethren take us as we are. We, in like manner, take them. Their orthodoxy is to put no clamps upon our hitherto enjoyed liberty. Our exercise of liberty is not to contam inate, or pervert, or in any way impair their orthodoxy. Liberty and orthodoxy meet together. Liberty and orthodoxy kiss each other. Henceforth they are to live in the same house, to sit at the same table, to worship at the same altars, to work in the same grooves, to evangelize through the same organization. Hence forth they are to go hand in hand, in mutual affection, fidelity and trust. I thank God for it. It does seem as if the cherished yearnings of our hearts were prophecies true, and that the time of their fulfilment draweth nigh. I trust it is to be the privilege of Philadelphia, City of brotherly love, in 1870, to welcome in the old First church, the united Assembly. And let it be the fervent, earnest, constant prayer of all hearts, that we may go forth from that sanctuary of God for our country's and the world's evangelization , one Church, banded and bonde and welded together, holding the cross, held by the cross, ir radiate by the glories of it, stirred by the inspirations of it, our hearts swelling with the memories of it, and the out- reach of that anguished heart of love that broke on Calvary, when .Testis with outstretched arms, embraced a dying world. 4tino id Of With.

The At torney General opines that State Govern irents have no right to alter in any way the duties and liabilities of the national banks, while they may provide for their establishment; also that the dissolution of such a bank is not legally complete until the redemption of all its circulation has been provided for.

Gener4l.—The decoration of the graves of Union soldiers was very generally ob served May 29th and 30th throughout the Union. May places (Philadelphia, Brook lyn. &c.,) changed the day from the Sabbath fixed by Gen. Logan to Saturday or Mon day. The Ladies Union Aid Society of St. Louis refused to bike part because the Sab bath was appointed. The New York cor respondent of The Ledger says of that city: "Many are the regrets that this beautiful ceremony was not held on a secular day, so that thousands of church-going people could have participated, but as these are unavailing now, the hope is expressed that on future occasions of the kind things will be so managed as to leave no room for, complaint in any quarter." - The National Executive Committee of the Union League met in New York and agreed on measures in regard to the canvass of Virginia, In ten years Ireland has sent us 579,753 emi grants ; Germany 623,243.

The idea of making our own watches, and making each piece of machinery specially adapted thereto, so that a piece lost or broken may surely be replaced by a similar piece from any other watch of its class, or one ordered from the manufactory on pnrpose, originated here; and here it has been carried to perfection. Beery year since the start has witnessed improvements in machinery, pro sesame, and workmanship, until watches are now made at Waltham as cheaply and excellently as anywhere oa earth, at the east and ever-widening demand for them abundantly pro Tee The enccees of the American Watch has incited sere• ral attmipte at rivalry, which we are nowise inclined to disparage, All of these are hopeful, and will doubtless itriprare with experience and the lapse of time. But buyers must feel greeter confidence to - the time-keeping of a watch from this pioneer concern, than in one man- ufaetured by any of its young rivals. If any do not, we urge them to inquire of their friends who have bought and carried the American Watch. Every purchaser may have a guaratee, if he will, that his watoh will give en tire satisfaction So constant and signal have been . the improvements in machinery at the Waltham manufactory, that the Com- pany have not only been enabled to make better and better Watches, but they now sell them for fewer dollars in greenbacka than they cost in gold before the war. But they wish no one to buy their Watches because of their elmaimees. They commend them as, letter timo keepers than any other which are or can he-sold at prices so moderate. They ask parehasere flot to be persuaded by importunate dealers, who may be governed by coneid orations of profit into buying watches of doubtful seen racy, when, by buying a Waltham, they may be sure or getting a Bret-rate time : keeper at ainoderate price.
