Mr. Moderator and Christian Brethren: It is a
very difficult thing for us to realize the passing cf
important event. We have been looking forward
for years to what has been consummated during the
past two weeks, e nave oeen earnestly engaged,
and all has been accomplished iu Christian barm on v.
We have been a united Church. We are here passing
through scenes which take hold of eternity. We
have seen the reunion of the great Presbyterian
body. We were divided, but when we have come to
act we have done so under the guidance and direc
tum of the spirit or uoa.
Let us go back to the evidence of God's Spirit
amongst us. We were all anxious to know who
should preside over this Assembly. The Idea was i o
enter upon this by a single vote and by acclamation.
t iod decided that vote, and we have been aided by
the prompt and efficient manner in which the Mode
rator has presided.
We have come to decisions by great unanimity.
We are here at Its close without a single disturbing
element. The great question of the union of the
Presbyterian Church Is settled, and we are the great
united reconstructed j-resoyienan enure it. we
thank God for His wonderful deliverance. We have
hearts overflowing with gratitude. I have been re
quested to perform a delightful duty. I therefore
oner the following resolutions:
Ennlrtd, That tbn hearty thanks of this General As
sembly ars hereby tundered to the citizens of Philadel
phia, whose characteristic and unbounded hospitality
lias made our sojourn iu this old haunt of Pretby
terianieiu so pleasant and so memorable. They have
given us toe freedom of their homes; tbey have
bonored ns witb a truly magnificent publio reoop.
turn, beautified witb tlowers, the singing of birds,
and a table loaded with the evidence of itheir
love ; they bave enabled some of us to look for the first
time opon the great and wide sea; tney have refreaned
our ears with sacred music suca as is seldom beard, and
our hearts with joy and gladness.
We tbank Ibem again for all their kindness, and invoke
opon them ana tneir oouseuolds toe grace and oenedio
tiuna of Heaven.
Jitu,lcnl, That the warmest thanks of the General
AssemDly are also tendeted t tne chairman and every
member of the Oommiuue of Arrangement, whose unex
ampled labors in preparing for our coming and in provid
ing for our convenience, comfort, and enjoyment while
litre, bave been so protracted and so incessant: to the
ladies of the Floral Committee, who bave dailv de
lighted our eyee and encircled our Moderator
with fresn tlowers; to the trustees and fjlioir of
this ancient church, and to all others who
bave co-operated with the rloral Committee and the
Committee of Arrangements in these kindly and tJnris
tian attentions. We desire also to tender our acknow
ledgments to the several railrooad companies who
bave nassed the commissioners over their respective
roads at rednced rates, and to General liingham,
the Postmaster of the city, who has furnished such
toovenient arrangements by a branch othoe in the
vestibule of the church; nor wonld we forget tUe patient
services of his obliging olerk, Mr. Smith, who never tired
in his effort to sorve the mem tiers of the Assembly, and
who would look again and again to find letters for many
an anxious inquirer. To one and all we again tender the
' assurance that we can never forget the kindness we bave
received in this City ot tirotherly Love.
The following additions to tho resolutions of
thanks were proposed by various commissioners
and approved by the Assembly:
Jf talced. That the warm thanks of this house bo given
to Kev. Villeroy D. Keed, 1). I)., lion. Kainuel V. MoUoy.
und Mr. Kzra M. Kingsley, the tempsrary clerks of this
AseniMy,tfor the efficient aud satisfactory manner 'in
winch tbey bave discharged their important and laborious
duties.
Aco'r'd, That the Committee of Arrangements for this
Assembly be requested to have printed tbe foregoing
resolutions (each member of such ommittee to keeo a
copy for himself as from tnis Assembly), and to send i
i'oi.v to eacn laiiiilr or person who bas entertained uom
niiftfcioners, or otherwise contributed to our pleasure or
ctitufurt.
k A Iso. to the conductors of tbe daily press and especially
to the editor ef the Et-unKm AmMii Jirportrr, for their
lull snd fan Ul ul record oi our daily proceedings.
A ln. to the Moderator of tbe Assembly for the conr
tety, impartiality, and eminent ability with which be bas
prended over tbe deliberations, and promoted tbe des
patch of tbe buaiuebs of the lorolouged sessions of this
Assembly.
Kev. Dr. Adams said he presumed every member
here desired to express some feelings in behalf of
tnese resolutions. MueBjiiuu vi ruiiaaeipuia was
always an open door, llow shall we forget the
kindness with which this Assembly has been received
and entertained? Of all the associations which we
have planted la the beautiful city of Philadelphia,
ihere are none which will occasion us any regret
except tue paitiDg.
What a beautiful city it i? The cleanly streets.
isese beautiful educes, these commodious street
cars, the obliging manner of the people yon meet In
them. I have never seen anything like It In any
pnrtof the world. How shall wo forget this and
everything else in connection with this fine citj
Then may we not congratulate the Church at large
npon the mlnlRtry of this city? These beautiful edl-
nces wntcn represent our l-resnytenan tnurcn.
These young ministers who man them so well.
What fine-looking men they arc I What good-hearted
men they arel Oh 1 what a blessed thing it is I I have
alwavs regarded It nw one of the happiest things In
mv life that through this Assembly we have become
better acquainted witn eacn outer.
I sec scattered aoottt. t he house several or tne gen
tlemen who were present at the very first confer
ence relative to reunion. Some have gone to their
reward. The very first mectlog was in my own
parlor. One of the brethren then present said that
lie hoped to look down from heaven upon a reunited
Church, but he did not expect to see it in his day.
W e all doubted then, but behold now the thing Is at
hnnd, and It is accomplished In this beautiful city of
Philadelphia.
Speeches or great power ana eloquence were made
by l)rs. Breed and Beadle, of Philadelphia, in reply
to the speccn ot dt. Attains.
J)r. iterncK .jounson, irom tne uommitrofi or
Arrangements, stated that that committee desired
to be remembered more by their deeds than their
words. The Presbyterians of Philadelphia are proud
of the honor of having entertained the first General
Assembly of the I'nited Church, and if the Assembly
is thankful for being entertained, they arc the more
proud.
i ne resolutions oi inntiKs ami an tne araenamenis
were passed unanimously.
Judge strong rose.and addressing tne stated cierK,
said that the success of an assembly depended
almost entirely upon the Moderator. A person
might with the best intention have landed ns in
doubt and confusion. The greatest, promptness Is
necessary. All tho necessary virtues have been
more than shown in our present Moderator, who has
carried us safely through all our troubles, and landed
us in safetv anil comfort. 1 therefore state the stuise
of the whole Assembly when I give expression to
words of thanks towards that worthy gentleman.
The Moderator, in repiy to tins aiiaress ana tne
resolutions passed by the Assembly, spoke as fol
lows: Itrntbren. I bave no intention to detain you with any
extended remarks in reply to this expression ef vonr kind
ness. Permit mn to say 1 have no heart for it. My heart
must only feel. 1 came to this office very reluctantly, but
I came to it so pleasantly, so kindly, under the lead of my
distinguished and beloved brother from the city of New
York, who so very kindly acquiesced in the response b
which yon greeted his proposition. Permit me to say that
j regsrd it as a Providential arrangement, as a part of that
blessed ordering which bas brought us so pleasantly and so
hopefully in oar business up to the present moment. I
thnnk you from my inmost heart for all your kindness
and your forbearance, asd 1 shall delight to go back to
mv home nnd to mv humble work with tho conviction that
1 Dave paneo irom nretsren v. uom i may never moot nore
on earth oesin. nut whom 1 may nope to meet in that trio-
rinus assembly above, wbere so many who have gone be
fore us are, and who, we may nope, are looking down upon
this scene and rejoicing in it. I rejoice ia the fooling on
si) sides cniressed the feeling of tbe glory of God. Ira.

-at ber and our Saviour and our Comforter, and that He
bas been with us. With all of our iatinnitiee, and with all
oar unwortbinese, tie bas smiled upon ns and still smiles
nn ns.
The closing minutes oi tne nouse were tnen read
and approved.
The Final Adjournment.
Dr. Hatfield moved that as the business of the As
sembly is now finished, it be dissolved. This being
ngreed to, the Assembly adjourned nine die at 12
o'clock, by singing the 2:td hymn, from the Assembly's
pamphlet, "1 love Thy kingdom, Lord." aud by the
following announcement; irom me luouerator:
Bv virtue or tne authority delegated to me by the
Church, let this Assembly be dissolved, and I do
hereby dissolve it and require another General As-
uem i v. cnosen in tne Bame manner, to meet in tne
First l'resbyterlan Church in the city of Chicago, at
eleven o ciock in tne morning, on tne tniru Tuurs
dov of May. In the year of our Lord 1871.
The Moderator men cioseu witn prayer, cndinar
with the Lord's Prayer, and dismissed the Assembly
witn tne uenetucuou.
The Kev. J. Trumbull Backus, D. D., the
Moderator,
who has presided over the deliberations of tho first
General Assembly of the Reunited Church with rare
crace and dignity, was born in Albany, Mew lork.
in 1S09, his father being a successful and highly-re-
snected merchant or that city. Alter a careful ore-
paratlon at the Albany Academy, he entered Colum
bia College, New York city, in 1S2S, and graduated
with nonor in ne men enierea upon a tnorouen
course of theological study, which he diligently pur
sued ror three years at i-rineeion seminary, under
the direction of the venerated professors Archibald
Alexander and Samuel Miller. Not satisfied with
this regular course of study, he also availed himself
of other opportunities, aud spent two additional
years at sister seminaries, lie was licensed to
preach in lb30 by the Presbytery of New York, Dr.
Phillips, Dr. Krebs, and others now departed being
then among Its members, with Dr. Spring, who still
survives.
The voung licentiate was invited, in 1S32, to preach
before the congregation of the l'resbyterlan Church
at tichenectady. In response to a call soon al ter
urged upon him, lie was ordained and Installed Us

His manners are easy and winning, his parliament

gates from other churches his allusions have been
happy, and calculated to promote friendly and fra

six hundred members, but Dr. Backus has performed
it without embarrassment or ditllculty, and proved
himself equal to every occasion.

THE COAL TRADE.
The Suspension The Trade In Nw Yorlt-Tiie
fclthl-honr Vote Tbe Lehigh Tonnaxe ao
Isilsni, Etc.
The stereotyped expression In reference to the
Schuylkill county suspension is still in order. The
men still obstinately refuse to go to work, preferring
a longer holiday. Meanwhile prices are slowly but
steadily declining, with a probability that should a
resumption take place there will be a sudden fall.
in this case even tue operators oasis win not be
maintained, and there will be a positive necessity
for withdrawing it, ana stiosuiuiiug anotner still
lower, end consequently still less to the Interest of
tne workingmen.
Otio of the strongest points in the argument
against the striking men is the fact that by remain
ing Idle In Schuylkill couuty they are giving a
monopoly to the Scranton carrying company, which
organization Is ready to annihilate the whole Miners'
Miiou at any convenient moment, ana is ever on tne
watch for such a moment to nppear. Not only is
this company strengthened Indirectly by the suspen
sion, but the miners oi tne suspending region oeing
so advised by their leaders, themselves outaiu work
In the Scranton region, swelling the product of coal
there, and taking entirely away the power of the
Schuylkill operators to resume.
The trade m ew lorK is quiet, nut tne tiauy
receipts are quickly disposed of. The Scranton and
Lnekawanna companies are largely Increasing their
tonnage over last year the Scranton being liS.noo
tons ahead, and the Lackawanna 204,000 tons; the
Lehigh Is not doing as much ns they could, on ac
count of scarcity of cars. Eastern purchasers are
not bnving their supplies yet, as they Bay they must
uphold the Schuylkill operators, or else there will
alwavs be an unsettled market. The Delaware and
Hudson Canal Company in their recent re
port state that they have a dally mining
capacity of 10,000 tons, and a carrying capacity for
2,fjuo,Oi0, and that if no accidents or stoppages occur,
tins quantity or coai win De produced ana sent to
market In 1S78. This will be an increase on last
year's product, which was l,fH'l,9l8 tons, of upwards
of 900,000 tons. This will be more Uian the whole
increase of anthracite required this year, if business
remains as stagnant as It now is. This company,
under these circumstances, will be a royal auxiliary
of the Scranton Company, and a formidable enemy
of the Schuylkill suspension.
There has yet becnBooiticiai announcement mane
of the result of the vote on;the eight-hour question.
It Is said that the result will not bo made public ror
Borne time, which, In all probability, means never,
since the result is unfavorable to the wishes of those
interested.
The stock of coal is universally light, as there Is
no disposition to buy beyond Immediate wants.
This disposition Is owing to the general belief
that the tendency of prices will be downward.
The following are the prices of coal by the cargo
at Port Richmond for Btiipnient east or uoraentown

A Change without Alteration.
Most of the cities of our Union have pet names-
titles of endearment which are almost as well known
ss their proper titles. Thus we have the Garden
City, the nub, the Crescent and the Twin. One
among our larger capitals lus a name whlon is
merely a translation 01 its own into a more familiar
and better understood language. We mean Phila
delphia, thf City of Brotherly Love. It Is a city of
which an American may well be proud, for here the
Declaration of Independence wan signed, and the
heart of every patriot swells with a nobler emotion
as he looks upon the bell which pf aled forth with
joy at a nation's deliverance. The philanthropist
feels his heart throb with pleasure as he views the
noble Institutions which a magnilicent charity has
erected in that favored spot to relieve the distress of
humanity. The friend of science rejoices to seo the
city of the great American printer and philosopher
abounding in institutes for science and nurseriej of
Bit. Medical students resort to Philadelphia for
their professional training. Tho young man Intend
ing to adopt the Bar as bis occupation seeks her
classic groves. The architect finds in her streets and
squares, her solemn temples and gorgeous palaces,
fit examples for his stcdy and imitation. The mer
chant from other cities looks with wonder npon the
commercial facilities of Philadelphia, her double
port, her mineral treasures poured into her lap from
tbe exhaustless resources of the Commonwealth,
and the manufacturing energies which put the
wheels of industry in motion ant send the products
of her artisans and the result of the energies of her
capitalists to the farthest regions or the West and
all points of the compass. From Philadelphia as
fioni a modern Bethesda a healing pnol for tho dis
eases of humanity flow out the grand remedies
which have fetood the test of time, and are known
and valued wherever mankind Is liable to the ills of
flesh or the accidents of climate. Why It Is we know
not, bnt probably from her magnificent central posi
tion of our country, those members of the healing art
who furnish the whole world with remedies for every
complaint seem to have made their headquarters In
the City of Brotherly Love.
We could enumerate, had we space and time, a
large number of houses engaged ia this noble work,
Second to none, take, for Instance, those well-known
medicines, the Pine Tree Tar Cordial and Dyspopsia
Pills. The results of long experience and the subject
of many papers before the Philosophical Society of
Great Britain, It was left to America to see their
virtues fully tested, and to Philadelphia to be
come the great centre from which they tra
versed half the world. Originally introduced by L.
Q. C. WISUART, they rapidly became popular and
brought fame and fortune to their proprietor, who
some twelve months ago died, full of years and
honoi s, respected aud regretted by all who knew
him. These medicines for that peculiarly American
complaint: chronic indigestion or dyspepsia to
gether with his fortune, fell into good hands, and
the worthy sons carry on their manufacture and dis
tribution. HENRY R. WISH ART, the principal
manager, is recognized by the profession as a pro
mising man, though scarcely thirty years old, pos
sessed of the energy which is requisite in his call
ing, and which Is so peculiarly characteristic of the
I'hlladelphlans. He, well knowing that they have
something the world wants and the people will
have, is extending the fame and knowledge of 118
father's bequest through the length and oreadth of
the land by an extensive system of newspaper
advertising ; and the village must be remote, the
drug store extremely rare, which Is not supplied
with a stock of the Tar Cordial and Dyspepsia Pills,
two preparations which, at the present day, stand
foremost in the ranks of patent medicines, and
which are the sheet-anchor of health when once
that kitchen of the body, the human stomach, gives
way under the tlistressmg symptoms of confirmed
Indigestion. Young aud enterprising, a future lies
before the WISHARTS of which any man might be
proud, and which they will, wo predict, grasp and
use with prudence and success. A trade Immense
to contemplate lies In the articles and the men.

DR. WISH ART'S
PINE TREE
TAR CORDIAL.
nature's Great Remedy.
It 1h the vital principle of the Pino Tree, obtained
by a peculiar process in the distillation of tho tar, by
which Its highest medical properties are retained.
It is tho only safe and reliable remedy which has
ever been prepared from the juice of the Pine Tree.
It invigorates the digestive organs and restores
tbe appetite.
It strengthens the debilitated system.
It purifies and enriches the blood, and expels from
the system the corruption which scrofula breeds on
the lungs.
It dissolves the mucus or phlegm which stops the
air passages of the lungs.
Its healing principle acts npon the Irritated sur
face of the lungs and throat, penetrating to each
diseased part, relieving pain and subduing Inflam
mation.
It is the result of years of study and experiment,
and it la ottered to the aillicted with the positive as
surance of Its power to care the following diseases,
If tbe patient has not too long delayed a resort to the
means of cure :
Consumption of the Lungs, Cough, Sore Throat and
Breast. Bronchitis, Liver Complaint. Blind and
Bleeding Piles, Asthma, Whooping Cough, Diph
theria, etc. etc.
We are often asked why are not other remedies in
tUe market for Consumption, Coughs, Colds, and
other Pulmonary aiiectlons, equal to Dr. L. Q. C.
WlHhart's Pine Tree Tar Cordial? We answer-
First. It cureB not by stopping coughs, but by
loosening aud assisting nature to throw off the un
healthy matter collected about tho throat and bron
chial tubes, causing irritation and cough.
Second. Most throat and lung remedies are com
posed of anodynes, which allay the cough for awhile,
but by their constringent effects the fibres become
hardened, and. the unhealthy fluids coagulate and
are retaiued In the system, causing disease beyond
the control of our most eminent physicians.
Third. The Pine Tree Tar Cordial, with lis assist
ants, are preferable, because they remove the cause
of irritation ot the mucous membrane and bronchial
tubes, assist the lungs to act and throw off the un-
healthy secretions and parify the blood, thus scien
tifically niakiag the care perfect.
Dr. Wishurt has on file at his office hundreds and
thousands of certificates from men and women of
nuquefctiocable character, who were onje hopelescly
given up ro die, but ttrough the Providence of God
were completely restored to health by the Pine Tree
Tar Cordial. A physician in attendance, who can be
cccbultcd in person or by mail, free of charge. Price
