It copies in full our editorial on " Church and State in Chicago," and speaks of it as a " view of Mr. Cheney's course, which strikes us as very fair, and much more sensible than the ground taken by ' The New York Ob server, which we have seen quoted approvingly by some of our Church papers. " The Protest ant Churchman, of New York, copies the same article. The Presbyterian Banner points out—not with excessive courtesy—where our parallel bet Ween Mr. Cheney's course and that of Paul fails. Paul's "appeal unto Caesar" was not from a reli gious to a secular court, but from a lower secular court to 'higher one. For this slip it graciously classes us with The Independent, which recently asserted that the Bible represented all the hu man race as descended from Cain. The defect in the parallel is only a formal one. To appeal from a lower court to a higher one was to acknowledge the general jurisdiction in the case. The legal maxim which applies here is, Exceptio probat regulam,—a plea for stay of proceedings admits the general validity of the rule under which the plea is raised. If this edi tor bad been in Paul's place, and had been "call ed in question," "as touching the resurrection from the dead," he could only have said to Festus, " You have no jurisdiction. lam charged with an offence against the laW of the Church. I must, therefore, answer before the courts of the Church. All I can ask of you, is the protection of my life, while under trial." Nay, he could not have asked even that, for the law of the Jew ish Church punished blasphemy with death, and of blasphemy the ecclesiastical judge would have convicted him, and to this decision our cotempo rary would have been logically compelled to submit. WEST CHURCH, WILMINGTON. The young West church here is fairly on its way, I think. Duffing the summer, though many of our people were absent from the city, and our present house of worship—Monroe St. Chapel—is by no means in a central location, yet it has been full, often to overflowing. Last Sabbath was communion ; 40 members were added and more are ready to enter the ranks now. We are 160 strong, and them is a very encouraging state of religion in the congregation. As my custom has been, we spent the week preceding the communion in prayer. The meet. ings were well attended, full of quiet, solemn impression, and with some diminution in number, are to be continued this week. Among those on profession were two heads of families, men pass ing the prime of life. It is pleasant to know that this church, at first composed of membemmostly from jlanover street and Central churches, ,is not the o'ffipring of any internal coavuhiona, but the needful swarming of industrious hives already too fulL At the cordial invitations of the mother churches; - the West spent two delightful Sabbaths in unite& services with them, pastor and people receiving the warmest welcome from both. We are look ing forward to the Installation with interest. A 'harmonious church and a competent salary, prompar paid, and the many acts of thoughtful kindness which I receive, are cheering and stim ulating—to a , pastor these are next to tile inspi ration of the Holy Ghost: : Gro.

Little,from , New York city, expect to dedicate their 'hew bottle of wor ship on the third. Sabbath of September (19th). This, is the.first .church edifice in the place. e THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1869. FROM OUR ROCHESTER CORRESPONDENT. HA MILTON COLLEGE A very important meeting of the Board of Trustees of this institution, was held on Tuesday, of the present week; and some changes were made in the affairs of the college. It has been known for some time, that Prof. Mellarg was in clined to return again to the pastoral work. r ile offered his resignation of the Professorship of the Latin language and Literature in August.' At this meeting of the Trustees his resignation was accepted, and resolutions of high respect and ap preciation were unanimously and cordially adopted He is at present supplying the pulpit of the Pres byterian Church in Westfield. Very reluctantly also the Trustees accepted the resignation of. Rev. Dr. Ellinwood as one of their number. His residence being in New Jersey, the charter of the college forbid his hold ing, the office of Trustee,-and so„ he resigned. We know that the loss of his wise and ,valuable, councils in that Board is deeply regretted by the Trustees themselves, and will,be desply r regetteil by the friends of the college ,generally. , It is pity that so many of the best eitiions,of, •our tropolis are obliged to,go,into .another State to, find a place to sleep. Rev. A. Grosvenor Hopkins was elected assis tant Professor of •the Latin Language andLitera taire, with. a„view.to.e, full professorship; when a little experienee, .a little more age shall have qualified him more hilly - for the responsi bilities of the position, He is,tbe,,second son of Rev. Prof. Hopkins of Auburn Seminary, a graduate of Hamilton College - of the class of 1866, and a graduate Of Anburn Seminary; Clasa of 1869. He is regarded' as a fine scholai, and a young man of uncommon , promise, or he would not have been elected to this responsible posi tion. - Mr. Hopkins has also been supplying the pul pit of the Presbyterian Church of Cortland ever, since he left the Seminary last Spring.; andonly last Saturday the congregation gave him a nano' be their pastor. We do not yet know which "po . shim) he will accept. DEDICATION The remodeled, renovated church edifice of the Presbyterian Society of Medina, was dedica ted on Thursday afternoon, 2d insiiiit—sermon by Rev. Dr. Campbell of this city, and prayer of dedication by Rev. Dr. FillmoreLpf Knowles, ville. Another meeting was _held on Thursday evening, at which intetesking, addresses were made by Rev. Dr. Fillniore, Rev. A. A. Graley, the pastor, Rev. S., F. BaCon of Albion„and, Rev. C. S. Furman of ,this city: .Mr. Furman was once pastor of that chirch, and was able to give some touching reminiscences, whi'elt breught tears; to many eyes. DO NOT CONCUR. We learn that at a meeting of the Presbyteri an church of• Clyde on Monday last; the resigna tion of .the pastor, Rev. R. E. Wilson, was not accepted. After enjoying his faithful ministra-, tions for nearly fourteen years, they do not seem inclined to part with him at present. • PERSONAL Rev. Dr. Miller of Ogdensburg, is soon to start for Europe, leave of absence, a good purse, and good company being furnished by his people for that purpose. His wife .also makes, one.of the party. If good wishes will carry them safe. ly and bring them in peace, they are well insured. Rev. Geo. S. Boardman, D.D.; formerly of Gas enovia, has been eniaged to supply his. pulpit in Dr. Miller's absence. Rev. Dr. _Knox of Rome, is expected: home from his protracted European tour, on the 'third Sabbath of this month. It has not y6t, pired, whether he is to accept the Call to. Elmira, or remain with his former charge. , ' . Rev. Dr. Condit is to resume `the supply of the First Presbyterian church of this city to morrow, the first Sabbath of this month:' Ile has won a large place, both as a Christian man and an admirable preacher, in he hearts of this people. . Rev. Dr. Heaeock of Buffalo, preached' his farewell, (for the time,) to his' people 'fast Sun day evening. His text was touchingly appropri ate—" Are not two - sparrows sold for a" farthing, and one of them shall not fall on the 'ground without your Father? But the very hairs of your heads are numbered." And on Tuesday a, social, farewell was also held in his church, with an address, by Rev. Dr. Ball, who has recently returned from California; prayer by Rev. Mr. Calkins; after 'which Dr. Chester read a very tender, and touching letter of the congregation to their beloved, pastor, ex pressing their high regard and their abiding af fection for lint. Dr: Heacock'responded to this in his usual 'tender and feeling manner'; after which a hymn was Sung, and a general hand shaking; with good wishes and loving adieus, closed the scene. His people will be glid to see him.back again when the three months are gone. Louis Chapin, Esq., of our city has just re turned from a trip West, as far as Omaha. He has been looking a little,, on his own account ; at the interest of Church Extension, to see where church edifices may well be planted, so that he may act understandingly, in his counsels and his gifts for this important cause. In him the, Sec retary will always find an ,able helper. We happen'to know also, that he roamed the prairies a little in quest of 'game. • If we may julge from the specimens which found their -way to our table, the chickens are extra good this year ; and Mr. Chapin has the happy faculty of coaxing plenty of them within the unerring range of his gun. GENESEE. Rochester, Sept. 4, 1869. TO PIUS THE NINTH—BISHOP OF ROME. In your Encyclical Letter, dated Sept. 13, 1868, you invite all "Protestants" to "embrace the opportunity" presented by the Council sum moned to meet in the city of 'Rome during the month of December of the current year, to "return to the one only fold," intending thereby, as the connection implies, the Roman Catholic Church. That letter has been brought to the notice of the two , General Assemblies of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America. Those Assemblies represent nearly five thousand ministers of the. Gospel, and a stilt larger number of Christian congregations. Believing, as we do, that it is the will of Christ that His Church on earth should .be one; and 'recognizing the duty of doing all We consistently can to promote Christian charity - and fello*ship, We deetii it right to say in feW words why we can not'comply with your invitation, or participate in the deliberations of the approaching CouticiL , r It is'not because we reject anjt article . of the Catholic faith. We are not heretic's; We'receive all the-doctrines contained in the ancient Symbol knowAS 'the ApcfSiles' Creed; we regard as con sistent with 'Scripture the dectrinal decisions of the firstisix CEcutbenical Councils; and because of 'that consistency we receive those decisions 'as` expressing our own faith.' 'We believe the doc trines of the Trinity and . Person of Christ, as those doctrines are set fOrth by the Council of Nice, A. D. 325; by that' ot 'Chalcedon, A. D" .151; and by that of Constantinople, A.D. '6BO. With the whole Catholic Chitral, therefoie; we believe that there are three , Persons God head, the Father, the Son, and the 'Hofy 'Ghost; and that the three are one God,',the Same in sith ssance, and equal in Tower and glory. - We believe that the Eternal Son of Ged came man by taking to Himself a true body and a' reasonab I e Soul; and sawas; and continues to be; both' God and man, in two distinct natures; and one' perkon forever. We belleve'tliat 'our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is the Prophet of God, whose teachings we are bound to receive and in whose promises we confide. He is the High Priest of our profession; whose infinitely merito rious satisfaction to diiine justice, - and whose ever prevalent 'intercession is the'only ground Of our justification and acceptance before God'. He is- our King; to' whom our allegiance is due,'itot only as His creatures, bat as the purchase of His blood , . To MS authorityme submit: iri His care we trust; 'and to His service we and.all creatures in - heaven and earth should be deveted: We believe, moreover; all those doctrines con cerning sin, grace, and , predestination, known in' history: as Augtistinian. Those doctrines-Were sanctioned .by the Council 'of , Carthage' A. D. *l6; . by- a more, general Council in 'the , sansie place, A. D. 418; bylZosimusißishop of Rome, A. D. 418 ; and .by the , thirtivolEetircienical Council at'hlphe§us, A.D. 481. • It'isitnpossible, therefore, that woehould be pronounced' hei4itical without-including, .the whole ancient Church in the!same Condemnation. 'We not-only "glory in the name of Christians,'bral prOfess the true faith of Christ, acid follow the , .ctinimuniOn of •qilie Catholic Church." - Still further; to quote' your own 'words, "Truth musOcontinue ever stable and not subject to any change." t. ~‘ - Neither are weischismatics: We'believe in true "Catholic unity." -We cordially recognfze as mem:, bers of Christ's visible Church on earth- all who profess the tree religion ;l7 together with their chit dren. We are not only'Willing, but earnestly desire, to maintain Christian , communion with them, pro vided they do not prescribe' as a condition of Such communion, that we 'Should profeSs , what the Word of God condemns; or -do what that Word forbids.' If any Church prescoibes unscriptural conditions of fellowship; the error and , the fault are with such Church and' not with As. '• But, although neither heretics nor schismatics, we cannot accept-your invitation, , because we still hold the principles which prompted our "an cestors," in the name of primitive Christianity, 'and in defence of the " true faith," bravely to protest against the errors and abuses which had been foisted upon the Church—principles for which our fathers, by the council of Trent, rep resenting the Church over which yon preside, excommunicated and pronounced accursed. The most important of those principles 'are the follow ing: FIRST. That the Word of Gdd, as contained in the Scriptures of the Old - and 'New Testament, is. the only infallible rule of faith and practice. The Council of 'Trent, however, demands that we receive; pari pietatis affeetu, .the 'teachings of tradition as supplementing and interpreting the written Word of God. This-we cannot do with out incurring the condemnation` which'our Lord &linen/iced on the Pharisees' when - He said, " Ye make void' the Word of God 'l:iy your tra ditions." SECOND. The 'right of private judgment. When. we open the. Scriptures we find them addressed to the people. They speak to usrthey command us to search their sacred pages ; they require us to believe` what they teach, and to do' what they enjoin; they hold us personally - 'responsible' for our- faith and conduct. The promise Of the in ward' teaching' of the Spirit to guide men into the knckfledge of the truth, is made to the people of God; not to the'clergy exclusively; much less to any special 'order of the clergy alone. The Apostle John says to believers, "Ye have an unction from the Holy One, and know all things : And the anointing which, ye haVe received of Him , abideth with you, and ye =have not need'that any man -teach you."-1 john iii. 20 and 27. The Apostle Paul commands us (the people) to pronounce accursed an Apostle, or an angel from 'heaven, who' teaches anything contrary to the diiinely authenticated Word of God.—Gal. He makes the people the judges of truth and error as accountable to God only;` he places the rule of judgment in their hands, and holds them responsible. for their decisions. Private judgment, therefore, is not only a right, but a duty, from which no man' can exonorate himself, or be exonerated by others. TRIM). We. believe in the universal priest- hood of believers ; that is, that all men have, through Christ, access by one Spirit unto the Father.—Eph. ii. 18. They need no human priest to secure their access to God. Every man for himself may come with boldness to the throne of grace to obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.—Heb. iv. 16. " Having, therefore, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus. by a new and living way, . . and having a High Priest over the house of God, we may all draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience. and our bodies washed with pure water."—Heb. x. 19, 22. To admit, therefore, the priesthood of the clergy, whose in tervention is necessary to assure for the people the remission of sins and other benefits of re deeming grace, w' regard as involving either the rejection of the priesthood of Christ, or a denial of its sufficiency. FOURTH. We deny,the perpetuity of the apos tleship. As no' man can be-a prophet without the spirit of prophecy, so no man can be an apos tle without the gifts of an apostle: Those gifts, as we learn 'from Scripture, are plenary knowl edge of the Gospel, derived by immediate reve lation from Christ (Gal. i. 12); and personal in fallibility in teaching and ruling. What are the' seals of the apostleship, we learn from what St. Paul says ,to the Corinthians Surely - the signs of an ;apostle were wrought among'yon. in patience,`all in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds."-2 Cor. xii. 12. Modern prelates, al though they claim apostolic authority, do not pretend to possess the . gifts on which that au thority was 'founded, nor do they. venture to .ex hibit: the " signs" by, which the commission of the messengers . of. Christ was authenticated. We cannot, therefore, recognize thud, either indi vidually or collectively, as' the infallible teach ers and rulers of the Church. Much less can we acknowledge the Bishop of Rome to be Christ's vicar upon earth possessing "supreme rule." We acknowledge our adorable, Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to be the only Head, of the Church, which is His body. We believe that although now enthroned at the right hand of the Majesty on high, He is still present with His people on earth, whom he gov erns by His Word, Providence and Spirit. We cannot, therefore, put any creature in His place, or render to a man the obedience which is due to Christ alone. As the Church of Rome excommunicates all those who profess the principles above enumer-, aced; as we regard these principles to be of vital importance, and intend to assert them more: earnestly than ever;, as Gott appears to have given His seal and sanction to these principles by making the countries where they are held, the leaders in civilization—the most eminent for liberty; order, intelligence, and all forms of pri vate and social prosperity'it is evident that the barri'er between us and you at present, insurmountable. Although' this' letter is hot intended - to be either objurgator,y 'or - controft:itial, it is known to", all the world, that' there are doctrines and usages of the ChUrch over which you preside, ivhiCh 'Protestants believe' to be not billy' un- Seriptural, but contrary to the'Taith and prac tice of the early Church.—SOme of those doc trines ,and usages are the following, viz.:—The doctrine of transubstantiation and the sacrifice of the mass ; the adoration of the host ; the power of judicial absolution (which,places the salvation of the people in the hands of the priests); the doctrine of .the grace of orders, that is that su pernatural. power, and influence are conferred in, ordination by the imposition, or hands; the doctrine of purgatory; the worship of the Vir gin ..M.ary ; the invocation of saints; the worship of images; the doctrine of reserve and of im plicit faith, and the consequent withholding the Scriptures from the people, etc. So long as ,the profession of such doctrines and submission to such usages are required, it is obvious that there is an impassable gulf be tween us and the Church by' which such de mands are made. . . Wile loyalty to Christ, obedience to the Holy Scriptures, consistent respect for the early Councils of the Church, and the firm belief that pure "religion is the foundation of all human society," compel- us to withdraw from fellowship with the Church of Rome;- we, nevertheless, desire to live in charity with all men. We love all who- love our Lord Jesus nbrist in sincerity. We cordially recognize as Christian brethren all who worship,--trust and serve Him as their God and Saviour according to the inspired Word. And we hope to be united in heaven with all who unite with us on earth, in saying, " Unto Him who loved us, and washed us from our sins in His blood; and bath made us kings and priests unto God;. to- Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen."—Rev. i. 6. Signed in behalf of the two General Assem blies of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America. M. W. JAcostrs, P. A. FOWLER, Moderators. UNEXPEOTED WISDOM. The New York Observer notices Prof. lloilge's " Commentary on the Westminster, Confension" published by the 0. S. Board, with high praise. But it adds something that we had not expected from that quarter. It says : We have our doubts, but would `express them with diffidence, as to the expediency of the pub lication, by the Board, of any Commentary on the Confession at this juncture. ,The General Assembly has been, repeatedly urged to ,direct the publication of the Commentary on . the Bible„ and has distinctly declined. Obviously, ,a Com mentary, under Church sanction, becomes an established exposition of doctrine; and in the ,case before us, so far as the opinion of the Board . can go, the explanation of doctrine here given by Prof'. Hodge is the sense of the Church. The General Assembly has declined to make any comment upon the Bible, the, Confession being a condensed comment on the Inspired Word. We would, therefore, prefer that the Board should, not do what the Assembly has decline4l even to refer to it to do. Besides, this is :a peculiar juncture. Two great bodies of Pres byterians are about to unite, as we trust, in one body, with one Confession-,of ,Faith; nd, as both Assemblies ,have - agreed' to take the Standards, pure and simple, as the basis of Union, it 'seems to us infelicitolis and liable to increase the difficulties of harmonion, justment for either of these bodies to prepar e and publish an official comment on the l' ,, nfu3- sier t which both have agreed to take without comment. It is quite likely that the volume would be approved by both bodies, or by the united bod y certainly, it would be more likely to find Such favor if its issue had been deferred another year. On all the grand, essential points of doctrine there is substantial agreement between thi s author and the churches. In minor matters there might be difference. FOREIGN ITEMS. BY CABLE. DUBLIN, Sept. 2.—Cardinal Cullen has issued a pastoral letter forbidding parents to send their children to national model schools, on pain of a deprivation of the sacraments. 2.—The Roman Catholic Bishops have met here and adopted resolUtions demanding exclu sive Catholic College endowment by the State, a division of the property of the Royal and en dowed schools; and the alteration of Queen's col lege to a denominational institution, and a gene ral land bill for Ireland. LONDON, Sept. 4.—The Marquis of Harting ton, at the Cutler's banquet, at Sheffield, l a - S t night, said the task for the ensuing session of Parliament would be the settlement of the Irish land question. He hoped the question would be debated with as little political feeling as possible. It had never been the battle ground of party; men are comparatively' unpledged, and statesmen of various opinions showed an honest disposition to grapple with the difficulties surrounding this matter. The Times comments as as follows on Cardinal Cullen's last pastoral, and on the claims put forth by the Roman Catholic bishops of Ireland: They demand the overthrow of common educa tion and the exaltation of denominationalism. The language of Archbishop Cullen mast provoke re sentment. The pretensions of the Catholic hier archy towards the State are intolerable. There is not one of their resolves on education which the people will not emphatically rspudiate, and which if brought before Parliament, will not be rejected. The lessons of the , past two years seem lost on their prelates. They have not understood how a proposal of great moderation and acknowl edged wisdom proved abortive at the last session, through the profbund antipathy of Parliament to apply public money to Catholic uses. The pre sent proposals are about as hopeless as any that could be propounded. England and Scotland will not listen to them, and even in Ireland they will not command the assent of the classes inter ested in higher education, and in Parliament they would be mentioned only to be condemned. MADRID, Sept. I.—Proceedings will be com menced immediately against seven bishops who were apprehended for disobedience of Govern ment ordeis. PARIS, Sept. 3.—lt is reported that the French Government has' declined to send a representative to the Ecumenical Council. BY MAIL. The English ministry, it is reported, has pre pared a bill for providing glebes for ministers of every denomination in Ireland, by means of loans from the Government. This plan, it is asserted, settles the question of concurrent endowments, which was objected to on the ground of the in consistency of supporting clergymen of opposite ways of thinking. .RusslA is suffering from the extraordinary proceedings of numerous political sects that have recently sprung up in that country. The nature of the doctrines preached by these sects may be judged from a recent occurrence in the district of Saratow. A short time ago the prophets of a new religion made their appearance in that part of the empire, preaching self destruction by fire as the only sure road to salvation; and so readily was this dreadful doctrine received by the igno- rant and superstitious peasantry, that in one large villiage no less than seventeen hundred persons assembled in some wooden houses, and, having barricaded the doors and windows, set the build ings on fire and perished in the flames. The following is Dr. Cumming's letter to the Pope : HOLY FATHER—You have been pleased to in vite to the (Ecumenical Council the Protestants and others who are divided and separated from the Church of Rome. We are heartily grateful for the invitation, and are earnestly desirous to be present in the Council. During the course of the year I have sent many letters to the Most Re verened Dr. Manning, in order to get information as to the extent to which liberty of speaking will be granted to us The most reverend and learned doctor, with much courtesy, replied to me on this point in these words : " I am unable to give you an answer as to the mode of proceeding. The Supreme authority alone can furnish you with that." For this reason, Holy Father, I earnestly beseech you, to be pleased to inform me whether, in the approaching Council, we shall be allowed the liberty of speaking and bringing forward the reasons for which we Protestants are separated and divided from, the Church of Rome. lam your Holiness' obedient servant, JOHN CUMMING, D.D. presbyter of the Scotch Church.

The old cathedral or church is in a good state of preser vation; the foundation and door Ways being per fect. The. walls are of an immense thickness, which, it: is asserted, accounts for their standing so long. One gable is firm and kill eighteen feet high, but the other is crumbling 'away, and the arched window in.it will stop fall.
