—The recent Low Church Convention in
Chicago, prov,ed how impotent the party
are even it united, and how divided in fact.

'immersed three times, the Doctor repeat

equality in theTdthama Islands, have suc
ceeded, after a sharp struggle of two years,

ing parties are accorded a life- interest in
their offices, at the”public expense, but as
these expire, no mew, appointments sire
