For years the subject has engaged the earnest attention of many good and trim men.

At that time a na. tional organization wiui formed, having In view u Its object, the amendment to the Constitution that it might accord with Walt views. Since then meetlnge have been ,hold In various eau ern• and western ettles,..and the question ipperently lit been daily growing in In Wrest, An the movement began to In arenas In importance, another amain hling of its adherents WSJ deemed advise. *We, and for thle.purposo a call (which we have heretofore published) was issued by the officers of the National Assoc.!' Um for a almond grand Convention In pursuance of this call, yesterday afternoon, the representatives chosen for the purpose assembled in the Academy of Mud; and proceeded to the transaction of the business which had called them together. There wax quite a large audience, as sembled at the designated place, when, at tie o'clock a temporary organisation was effected by calling Prof.- J. H. bieTivalne of Princeton Mlles., one of the Vice irealdenta of the Association, to the chair. ,The proceedings were then opened with devotional exercises conducted by the Rt. Rev. Bishop Rerfoot, D. D. The Chairman then in a few brief re marks explained the object of the meet. ing as set forth in the published call and circular letter. •••• • . The chairman now announced the meeting open to general remarks upon the object proposed in the call which had been published. It was suggested-that a permanent organisation should be effected before ' any diIICLUMIOn. The chairman decided this -out of or der until the Committee on Enrollment had reported. Cards were then distributed through the audience, for the argnatures of dele gates, after which he again invited per- sane to take part in a discuaalon of the object of the gathering. TUE DISMISSION OPENS The Alit said be bad enlisted in. the old antislavery mice about thirty years ago, and now that that cause had tti umphed he thought It eminently proper that this new movement should sue oeed. He endated in the movement, al though ble hairs were white, because he thought It would be the grandest legacy he could leave to his encoessors. He hoped the cause would continue to gather strength until the record was made that the United States of America were clearly on the side of right. Odle were now made for several gen demon..ln response to many, . Rev. Mr. responded by saying that he didn't consider the question of sufficient importance to demand much disc:louden. If men recognised' God, In the blessings which they enjoyed in the, present mate of their happy ettrallaftlil in society and in social life, we could not help but lift up our hearts in thank;l- mwe at this.. We could hardly think t of men engaging lu such a work bf organizing society in such • man ner that these pen:Naples should b 3 recognized, without invoking the greatest power of all, that eter nal power which alone could bring enceinte. As • people we are Chris tian In feeling and sentiment In the French Revolution was seen the effect of infidel notions end sentiments. Look ing at other nations having the same , thoughts, similar regatta had been seen. Ociktiad pined the peoples and always wrought His own out. Oar government was founded by the Puritananut In an evil hour, in an extreme magnanimous. spirit. It was said, "you area great peo p.et you have many in your midst of different benefit Organize. then, your government that none may be offended —that the liberty of none may be re stricted. that all may rejoloe in the political and religious freedom." The riortion.. however, was not that. No man's liberty would be restricted. It was not contemplated to make any man bow to any sect er creed. Alt that was wanted was a recognition of the fact that a power . higher than themselves and omnipotent controlled the destinies of men. Nearly - all men recognized this fat. sod only differed in the matter of sect. Such a thing restricted no man's liberty at all. Mr. Bain, sald.the autdect. was one of vast Impo rtance, which bad taxed the powers of coins of the best minds In the ooantry. It has been said by some one that he Is the beat benefactor who expo sea society,to Itself. He thouht the men engaged in this movement were doing this work, and they would nod it a very ungractionework. became a nation as an individual threw around It a cloak of flattery, and the advocates of the new movement would have to meet all the pride sod obstinacy of the nation. To many It wee • crime to Intimate that our forefather; made a blunder, others thought it impossible that a nation pros perous, powerful, • proud and wealthy. 'was so grievously in the wrong. The country hadgone on for over eighty years in the old way andhat prospered. Hence It wee said, no better ovi duce of Its justice eould be desired. He thought' however these were fallacious arguments, and Weald be found to be upon a little examination. The people in this Government must believe In tome Idatier power than their own, some soprani . power, or they never could found • stable government. If this principle was not recognized instead of peace and quietness there would be anarchy. For a law which had no higher source thin one man's conscience was not • law at all for other People , linlemyou have • power behind that which influences and controls, and Is re cognized as a power by all men, the law , ,la of no avail. There never was an at tempt except on. to conduct a govern ment withoyt religion, and that was in France. The attempt wu crushed out in the mat terrible manner. But eapecially malt rime that in • re. Publican form of government a nation could not 'exist Without a recognition of God. The tree must have tap root. The building must have a corner stet*. A nation auditions a ibundation on some raincipLks of right and Justice. One of these, and the moat important, was recognition of Deity. He did not believe In a sectarian doctrine, but slut. We , urged that the existence of a God should. be In some way distinctly and directly acknowledged In • government. You might take away a few of the atones of a wall. and not materially inters the but it was with, exceeding groat danger that ono of the foundation stones was Interfered with. So it was with this principle of the existence - of a So preme Being In governmental affairs. The people must be taught by an oda. cation of their coneciencthe to uphold the right, the Just and the true. Tney should be learned of these through the medium 01 the laws, and this Could not *be done molten by the main fundamental truth— the exlatenaeof a Supreme Being. Another fault was that under the prep cut system we sttempted an Impossibility —that of piecing the Infidel and the ehristian under thereinto encouragement and favor. Al, for Instate" the govern ment could not recognize with the same favor a system which tended to disorgare izatiog. They might recognite all men as eqdal, but not all priauptrs. He wee Interrupted In his remarks by the Committee on Enrollment who re. ported that 275 delegates were present, 755 of whom bad ccertilleatee and 123 were without. A committee on Permanent Organiza tion was then appointed as follows: Revs. A. Pd. Mlllhrati, Pittsburgh. J. R Thomp • son, New York, W. W. Barr. Philadel phia, S. F. &oval, Pittsburgh, and Thos. Indiana. - A delegate suggested that two mayor one denomination had been appointed on the oollatttittee,land saidthere should be Wane. Acting on this suggestion, Rev. Dr. Page, of Allegheny. Rev. Alex. Clark. of -Pittabargh. and Bev. Dr. lark patriek.or Newark, were added to the committee. After the Committee had retired Mr. Bain continued dm remarks et some ME length, and was frequently interruptoAl withapnlause. Prof. J. W. IL Sloan was - the next speaker. He devoted a few momenta to a remark in reference to • lareprosen• tatlon that the secular prom misrepre sented the matter. Ho did not believe that this anis true. He had aeon - two editorials, one trona, the Commercial, which, although not entirely clear as a statement of their position, was yet a fair presentation of the main object. Another he had read in the Gazerxx. which he coneidered a calm, able and exact state meet of the position of thaw interested in the new movement for the recognition of a Supreme Being, and which indicated that that Influential journal was on. the side of the truth and right. (enplane,) The gentleman then proceeded • to. argue the main question, and contended that if God were not recognized directly la the constitution and laws of the land that the strongest bulwark of our .11ber ties was gone, and we must in the end inevitably fall. Unless this were done . the opponents, the infidels, the disciples of false creeda would ultimately get con.. HIM lens— Bey's trot of the government and the nation be undone. Circumstances were drifting that way. Already. to take no other illustration, the Chlneae were being need in our courts as witnesses and were only - required to use that eathwhich they had been taught In their own country. This was bat a straw, which indicated which way the wind blew: He did not believe in changing the form of the amendment which they pro. posed There was no need to disguise what they wantedt they desired the roe. °guidon of Jehovah, and that Jehovah was • the Lord Jeans Christ, whose will was the fundamental law of all nations.. PERMANENT ORGANIZATION. The Committee on Permanent Organ', *anon now reported for permanent Pree•. ldent of the Convention Felix R. Brunet,. Esq., of Allegheny, and Rev. W. T. tkiatty, of Pittsburgh, as Secretary. The nominations were unanimously confirmed. _ Mr. Brunt upon taking the chair said he should not state the objects or pur -1 polies of the Convention, as that had teen ' already done, • It occurred, however, that .one object had net been stated. Many good men had the improulon that although the amendment ought to be tnade it was dOnbtfal whether the at• tempt should be made now. Men look back on the agitation of the last six years and see the many amendments which have been offered and the controversies attending. them. and were now satiated with thebcutiness. They thought Conkresa was not now prepared to receive any else on that subject. He thought this question of time or expediency iris one which should be considered when the relation between constituency and legislators was colloid. med. But when the question was between man and hie Maker the goes. lion of expediency did not enter. He could' not conceive of a Christian man realizing the thought that God was not recognised In the Constitution of his government, who would not at once enroll himself in the ranks of this army of reform. But again, it might be said we had not the right to make this demand. People said we saw this recognition In all our public documents, from those emanating from the highest authority in the land, to the lowest. Was not this sent/. ment, this Supreme authority, recog nized everywhere. That wax only an argument In favor of the measure. Men In the church and out of the church re. cognized the truth, and if they could be organized would be almost a unit In favor of the object aimed at. In reference to thetime or making this amendment. he believed the time was at hand, He -was talking to a gentle- man a few days ago, who regretted that it was not pushed forward before the re- construction of the States. He quoted from the tstufederate Constitution, In which, in the first preamble, the exis twice of God is recognized, and said when he read that be felt there was one thing he could sympathize with them in. The onetime closed by thanking the audience for the honor conferred upon him, and asked their hearty co-operation to enable him to discharge his duties. COSILIDIPONDENCIL Rev. Mr. Stevenson then read the fol• lowing letters: • PEIILADaLPHIA. Feb- 28, 1870. Rev. Thomas P.

And it must disabuse candid minde of an impression that has been madoln soma quarters, viz! that the proposed ad dition to the language of the Constitution is the offspring of bigotry and intoler ance.

The geerstary stated that he bad been assured by the Janitor that at the even ing session the Mall would be made mom [enable, which be understood to Imply that it would not be comfortable until that session.

This arrangement would not at all Inter fere with all taking an active partici the proceedings'and being recognized as regT plat.. delegates. Rev.

Such persons if certificates Were recorded would feel themselves outside the o:lnvention. Rev. Mr. Livaine thought It important that the minutes should show how many districts sent delegates and how many communities were represented.. That Would only bee matter, of record. The others who came without, came as representative men, brought with them heir own influence and should be re• ceived all the same. They could have tt voice and vote in the Convention and tinettcipata to their heart's content, but a a matter of renord it should be stated on the minute., the number of communi• ties regularly represented. Tier. Mr. Young, of Pittsburgh, said he had came to the convenston as a delegate front his own congregation. He had read the notice from hie own pulpit and in accordance with the genie of the call had invited all 'his congregation, ladles and gentlemen, to attend. He saw them In front of him and be but reiterated their sentiments as web as his own when he said that he was unwilling to all In the convention unless he was roc • ognized an a delegate fully as muck as any other person who carried a culla. este, even If it was as long as his arm. Some further discussion ensued, when on motion the matter was laid upon the table. Mr. Milligan, from the Committee on Enrollment, now announced a Commit tee on Business, consisting of nine cler gymen. - d Serena of the nominee* declined, by , reason of not being able to attend. A delegate suggested that some lay men be appointed on the committee. The committee then requested that the report be referred tack to them for revision, to report at the evening session, Which was granted. • The Chairman directed all stranger delegates to report to the -Secretary, whey they would be assigned to families who had engaged to entertain them dor big their stay. - A motion was made that at each,ges. glen, a half-hour, at the oommeneement, be devoted to devotional exercises. The chairman stated this wu Weider; but that the Committee on Buicess had It In charge, and it might be preferable to submit everything to them. The mo tion was withdrawn. Announcements for the evening were then made, after which the Convention idjoarned until half-put seven. Evening Skala'. Convention reassembled at mien and a half o'olock. Theme was a very large audience present, a great number of whom were Witte, Indicating that the In tenet in the movement amongail Claws is increasing. President Bennet occupied • ttm chair. Rev. Mr. Aughey opened the proceed ings with prayer. The Chairman then anoonnoed as the s tirat speaker of the evening, the Rt. Rev. , Bishop Kerfoot. Ityiße Re verend EV.BISHOP irCISPOOT'S h gentleman upon being introduced, said that when the request ' of the Secretary came to him to address one of the meetings, be felt It to be • call of duty which he felt glad to perform. It was very evident that a crisis had come, and one which required all good citizens to ponder well their duty before God and their country. Re thought the fact should be distinctly dated that God Was the author of na tions. and should be recognised Wall the the national deliberations. In thinking over the matter and to let Ws remarks have a methodical arraagement, he had drawn up two resolutions which, after commenting upon. he proposed to sub mit to the tkimmittes: In the first resolution he wished to recognize the fact thatthe United Mates 'WWI a religious nation and always had been. They did not want by • change to make that fact any more apparent. This AM not a matter of debate.- What we want now is that as men are rising up to deny this fact that we es meanie, it in our Constitution In such • way that nothing but the ',spree will of the people can ever raise • doubt upon the point or change the re cognition. Our nation Was always been • Christian nation. It was founded on that principle. if. need not go back in review of the nation's history to prove the fact. In the very hourof the nation's organization this fundamental principle was recognized in the memento and prayers with which our. forefathers ear ned do their work. And in the war which resulted in the permanent establishment of the nation thls fact was always held forenacet and inspired all pee. pie. The prayers of the - Ctitirebes and the victories of the army only cementog this grand idea and made it recognizable. The point which he urged was that the nation was born • Christian nation, and that what waa now wanted was simply a direct and distinct acknowledgment This was especially practical In the times which demanded it. We did recognlzo this Ides In our national fade, our than avid u,T,s, nor courts of Justice all our State papers and atheist acts. The since= of the nation was attribut able to this grand fact. But still Were was need now that an express declara tion should be made. Now, when infidels were opposing - religion, Wimp principles which were here asserted were being hooted at, when initiate were deny lug the fact of our Christianity In times like thesa, it was necessary that princip'es,although they might he ye long been racogniusd, should be boldly and distinctly declared. There should be no doubt on the point. ItWas time the na tion made • bun stand on this question end put and end to phi opposition which superstition and inndelity was stirring up. God in Christ should be reeognized in our national government as It never was before. blow Was the time. Gods Influence bad been felt, during the dark and perilous hours of our late struggle for national life, and now the nation was prepared, as It never had been to make this acknowledgment. The effort should now be made. Whether the question would now !succeed !cr pot the discus. don of It would induce the people to think, and thinking. titey were sure to do right. Over the land were now scat tered volumes which oontained the bold. eat Infidelity, and yet they were, in many cases, recoentzed as teat Looks, and fr om them the people Were lejtrning a false phllceophY, ands terrible (diary, The penile ebortliA hot, then, the quiet. They should assert themselves in this matter. They should, by -their votes and acts and declarationa, say that no hu man power could found a government, that none hit an Muir/tent Wisdom and an omnipotent 'um could upbuild and uphold any nation. This was what was contemplated In the proposed amendment. He closed by reading a short extract from a sermon preached by ntm in the chapel of • rollefi In the douthein States, nine years ago, On a national fast day, when the host symptoms of the rebellion were becoming apparent.

The pram had in bowel Inguentha thatinime failed to properly place the matter benne their readers, not perhaps Intentionally but certainly Wee, nevertheless. The tint point then wee Ma the object Mined theas nog sectarto in character. It had elements and - principles of a broad catholicity.

' ,, i ,:.:.-.,;.:,... tO: 114 union or Church and "State.' it was nothing of the kind. It was far re, moved from it. No man would resort more than himself any such movement. [Applause.] The fallacy of this point could. be seen. by considering the fact that such a union in some one sect . . should be recognized. Now the men engaged in the movement were from all. denominations and would not work to gether in much a mole If the nation was . . . to bound dower to any sect. The object aimed at 'was entirely opposed to any of the kind. • The fact that a nation recognizes a God does not Imply or make an union of chi:trait of State. Were there not many men who acknowledged God as their creator and controller,- and of ered. up their "vows to God? There was, no Union' between their re. ilgion 'and the State. In the. mar. riage relation also, the twain may recognisuchristianity, and yet there was no union or the marriage state and the State. •It was the same in many other relations of life.• The ume principle would hold good in object which was aimed at in the change which they had in view. In a conversation not long since he said to a company, "my,, gentlemen, yen have driven it tint of politica, and polities have gone—you know where. [Applause.] Then you have tried to drive it out of education, and education, when yon do this, will go—you know where. [Laughter.] Now you will next try to drive It oat of the Church itself, and It will go the same wayl" There was an eminent Swiss gentleman in attendance, and hearing this last re mark, he said at once, .• Why, that's what we hove done In Switzerland. We have churches there which don't recognize religion at all. [Applause and laughter.] Another objection seemed to be urged In the belief that our forefathers had been costessed of such wisdom that no improvement could be made in anything they did. If that were so, then we should go beck to burning witches. It was like the -Chinese, who learned front their forefathers endcotild never be learned anything morebecause they had scimuch faith In their fountain head of knowl edThge. e question which they had to settle now was, what ,have we as a Christian people to do with this recognition of a God In our Government. What view ought we to take of this "object. We must.loos into the Bible and gee if It said anything In relation to civil gevern meet. We must not take the opinions of Thomas Jefferson and John Quincy Adams or any other man. The Bible alone for the Christian should be the standard and the reply. Now what did the Bible say in refer ence to this "tatter. Did it not say that God should roe recognised as the great head of creation. This did not interfere with the Idea thet the people - should govern. but it placed the responsibility upon them of governing according to that which God had taught them. Nations are responsible to God. He holds them responsible, and punishes them lust as be does Individuals. Ile deals with a government just as he does with each individual in that nation. This la the recognition that Gad be the Creator of nations. ' It has been asserted that 'civil govern ment had nothing to do with religion. That It was solely for civil purposes and wows:elusive of anything pertaining to religion or morality. This was the ides, , perhaps, of the framers of our Conantu- COn. - That paper did not recognize in any part of it a Clod, and therefore was properly an Wilde' paper. It wax the legitimate result of the theory which governed our forefathers. Now, that Constitution did not make the nation. There was • Vital and physiological con stitution of the nation, of which that was only the description. Now, in the vital and physiological oonstitu. tion of our people we are a Christian nation. Our institutions are derived from Christianity. Where Is there free dom of thought or a tree press, except in a Christian nation. We. have many -of these vital elements in our abet Con. siltation. The was his hops, and if it were not so he would not have any hope . Of the success of this movemeht. Now, what we want. Is that our paper Collette. tlou shall be In accordance with this con. -dition of the people. This change In the Constitution, therefore, beconlis neer* soryto accord with the feelings of the people and make legitimate the seta which the people, in the name of Chris. naulty„perform. As, for instance, there Is nothing In the Constitution compelling the President or any of from labor ing on the Sabbath. Ifs is allowed to cease If he desires, but there is noth. Ins compelling him to do so. Tnen [here Is nothing which would prevent the Kohn being used In oar school. In preference to the Bible. And again, a 'Judge might as well, according to the Coroultntion, deliver his charge from standpoint of Mormon morals Instead of a Christian standpoint. :What Is wantea, thou, is not to have our charter e i Inveb in opposition to the muniments of the people. He himself would be satisfied If the Conethutlen diettnctly rooognised the existence of God as the hu prtme Ruler of the universe. There should be. more than that, • but he would be satisfied with that. And how It would settle all the thin. cultist with which we. are now sur rounded. We could go to the man who attempted hi throw the Bible out of the schools, and say owe area Christian na. non, you can't overthrow the Bible. " And so the Mormon question _and the Chinese question could be settled. So long, however, se the Constitution stands as It coos, we can do nothing. The enemy has the advantage of Mt and he frustrates us in a thousand ways, and brings sorrow and woe and God's wrath upon us. Another point is that no one's rights will be violated by this amendment. The it,formatlon milled the !sat that the human . conscience wee amenable alone to God. -No man hue a right to bind another's =science. Civil government has no power to touch this liberty of thought and conscience. All must be free to follow their own oOnliclances In ao far as It did not subvert Christianity and morality. Liberty is of two kinds, in. divided and national. Doe could be carried to such an ',Creme that it might overthrow the other. Thoth are therefbre two liberties to be guarded. • Now If the nation said. It bout duty to acknowledge God, bad they. not a right to bold men acconatable to that, Should an individual come up and say, I am an !andel. You compel nie tit recogniroyour Christianty and now you circumWerfbe individualsay liberty. Now that man should not be allowed to defeat the wishes of the whole nation. Suppose a man bad a sun, who, from Infidel principles, wished to over throw the family alter, now the tether might say; "My son you need not worship with us if you do not deelre to do so, but you can not make mo over. throw my family altar, and if you Insist upon going against the whole house; the sooner we part the better. [Laughter.) So were) If theenatlon desires to have christlanity recognised.the infidel should not be allowed to say wotlt be amen able to Your ohriatian laws!! Ile need not worship with chrifitlans, but if en at tempt wee Mode to overthrow the .man.' ifest Visite" of the Wee, the infidel must give way end separate from them. Now the result of all this will be, If this vital christlanity is not Neogniked In this land; that elelligious war will deluge it In Mood.: Pearl:h e of the people are in fawn Of Christ . nItY. a nd they will not, without a struggle. give up their onnselences The conflict, terrible Oat hsay appear, will come in the future If this thing resort as it hair done In the past. Let us then doe= great work at once. [Applawnt.4, 43 Rev.

Madam Parquea Lecture Notwithstanding the inclement weath er, an audience of about two hundred were present at Broira's Chapel, Alla- Showy. en Wednesday evening, to hear Madam Parqua's lecture on Hayti. The testimonials we had received from highly respectable sources prepared as - to ex pect a fine Intellectual treat. We were not disappointed. Madam P. held her audience in wrapt attention from the be ginning to the end. She has a clear, sweet voice and distinct articulation. tier English is slightly touched with her vernacular, the French, which only ren ders it more agreeable. In some passa ges of the lecture a tine upward inflex ion of the voice lieighterutthe effect. She exhibits a considerable range of vocal Inflexions, with judicious adaptation to her text. The subject was welltreated and very instructive. The manners and customs of the Haytieris, especially of the-Idola trous portion, arevery remarkable, some of them very grotesque and absurd. But of the ruling classes, the historical sketches were of surpassing interest, showing them to be a brave, patriotic and intelligent people. The lecturer ex hibited them in very striking-and favor able contrast with the boasted Saxon or Briton of ancient times. Some passages In this part of the lecture excited well timed and deserved applause. We pre diet that if Madam Fergus was engaged by any of the lecture companies to lec tors in the Academy of Moll° or other eligible hall in the city, and if the people will for once forego their prejudices and gips her ■adlenoe, they will have no reason to regret it, but will pronounce , her lecture as interesting and instructive ; as any that have preceded It in the win , ter course. Unctamped Receipts. It instated that the revenue department Is about to inetitute proceedhtgs against the Pennsylvania Railroad Company for violating the revenue laws, in failing to affix stamps. to • recelpted freight bills. We were shown a number of bills of said Company soine days since, but as they were not signed by any one, we doubt if they can be considered receipts. They were merelrbilis of freight, upon which the words "received payment" were printed and a blank left for a signature, which blank, we understand, la In no ease filled. The Company hold that the BIN do nor require stamps and refuse_ to put them on unless the partite furnish • them. Shippers are not bound to pay their freight bills, without receiving a receipt, properly tamped, and if the company are per mitted to evade the law by refusing t 6 alas receipts, it is the fault of seippent. Some of the receipts or- bills, we believe, are stamped with the stamp of the corn. piny, which stamp may' perhaps be con strued into a receipt. The visits will be brought for the recovery of the penalty, which is 450 In each cant, and if the case is decided against the company, It will Involve tho paympot of a considerable amount of money.
