In she first resolut op Dr. Sproul moved to strike out thei word "thus," but after considerable discussion the motion was withdrawn, sad the resolu tion adopted by a rising vote. - Freetown - Malvern) moved to amend the second resolution by striking out the words "eubserve moral as well as mate rial ends," and inserting "having moral as well as ufaterial objects." A protracted diecussion ensued on this motion, in which Profaner Mannino, Rev. Wilson, Profaner Sloan, Rev. Mr. MoCurimer, Rlshop Kellam. Rev. Mr. McAllister and Rev. Mr. Milligan parti cipated. The latter gentleman argued la favor of the Introduction of religious as well as moral objects. Rev. Mr. Kirkpatrick was opposed to the reading of the resolution, and while be favored the acknowledgment of God in the Constitution, he was opposed to abilig one step farther. He thought the religious freedom now-enjoyed should be preserved. . One speakerthnught the resolution did not v on fa v r e . 7 0 7 enough. u Ms n o o o t n o t ziyd °declare that nations "have moral as well as materiel object.," bat should declare that nations who do not have Inch objects In view are defective and to that extent commit a stn. After some further dint:melon The resolution as amended was then adopted The third reaulution Was then read, and after some discussion a .proposltion was made to strike out the words "wherever It, It' known," which was adopted. Pending the adoption of the resolu tion, the hoar of twelve arrived, end the Convention adjourned until two o'clock, - with the benediction by Rev. W. Ii Locke. Afternoon Sealoo. Convention reassembled at the ep. pointed hour, and was opened with Prayer by the Ri3v,Mr. Kennedy. • Discruedon of the resolutions was then resumed. • /WV. Dr. Page introduced Rev. Dr. Lehi:ran, as a Prussian by birth and_ a friend of the cause, which had recently made hie own country so powerfhl among the nations. Dr. Lehman upon ascending the plat form said he felt highly honored upon being called upon to express his views upma this important question. It might bw a piece of great presumption for him, not • native, to come before the-American 'people on this subject, but as be wan the father of five children,. all Americans, he felt anxious to leave them a heritage, that of being residents of a Christian land. [Applause.] It had been said that this recognition of God would de stroy . the freedom" of the people. The fact was it ie the "Truth that makes you free," Hess before him now many of the daughters of America, and he asked what made them different from the daughters of .Hindoostan and India? Wes it not the-religion or Christ which had made them free. [Applause.] I The speaker then reviewed the Watery of Boma of the Enropean nations which refused in their national affairs and con 'dilution to recognize God, and as a con- sequence, po . werfal though they bad been, they were not now ;they among the family of nations. In con trast with- title the rapid growth and power of.Proaala, which had always rec ognized God, was an irrefragable argu ment in favor of the object at which they aimed. The history of Christianity ex hibited what it could do to make men happier and better, and accord to them the highest liberty. AtIIeriCIIVIS. then. ahould stick to the name of Jesus In th 4 Constitution. .In that name there strength. • [Applause.] Prot. J. It. Ddellvaine proposed as an amendment to the resolution, "that it is the right of.nations, as such Wed indi viduals, to worship God accordidg to the Christian religion.' , - He wished to suggest the superior plareg in affairs like this of implicit statements, as In contrast with explieit statement/. Implicit statements dis armed all opposition. while explicit statements only aroused it. He thought the great difficult in this movement wMe the denial& the right of nations to worship 133 . 4. 'if the right were recog. nicest; [ben the duly would follow as a rwrin matter of worse. Tote was the point in thts whole matter. This was where the acme of the battle stood, and arorml which everything centred. The implicit statement In the amend. - menthe - proposed Tined the mature In its proper light. The other method of stating the matter would seem deemed. cat and theological. and would call forth great opposition, which the other would not.; The great battle of the ages was bought byline church In ages pmt, on the Implicit statement of t h e Apostles Creed. Thus, under divine wisdom and gold sum, the church avoided an explicit statement and the contest was crowned with triumphant , success, suith as the chinch never could have again until she retorted to this sort of statement. The birtk of nectarlanurat dated back to lee Nicene period. That wean explicit statement. Men began to doubt it and nuatediately.the War of sects began. • Rev. 8. 0. Wiley, D. D., of Philadel phia, and this resolution touched upon 'one of the elements proposed In the .amendment, which-was the. aim of the Convention. The question then as It struck him was a vital ono. He thought tide amendment to the reeoln. tin under diacusakin struck out Jesus Chrlat. If this ware elemidated all else that they did would amount to very little. The question was does Chriat ans. tats, any relation in reference to the =- lin el the nation. If be did • hae.any seen relationship It should be distinctly recognized and be would tot acknowl edge anything but an explicit' statement and trust. He thought the doctrine that Jehodah' was-the - head of the nations, , and the Ropretnei -Ruler-of the notecase, and the Bible thebnlycorreet guide, was As much a-doctrinal . statement as any 'thing that could be offered. It could not ha otherwise stated. They as friends of third new Movement claimed that, they wished to have Christ reoog-: Used in the most died - net' manlier. It was a doctrine, and they would be two. 'sad by all who attempted to refute the truth. But they must not attempt to timnodze.) They theist not yield the first and grandest truth. The Iran =Mt Urged' in support of omitting the name of Christ, that It would do away with an - appearainoe 'of sectarianism, and . While It should be included 'yet it was cot ex. titidient.l Bon as :argument was falla cious. Jews and infidel, would not be propitlataid bv such • compromise.. They understood what was indicated in thti proposed amendment, and it was tee principle which they opposed Christians' then; Wald, have no. eupport from them by this compromize. And more than alt Christ would never rectos. nice such. temporising. The speaker preferred to fall, in the matter under the banner upon which watt inscribed the nameof „Taus =her than sully the con test by snob's base compromise. Linder the lesdarebirof Christ and under-Ma own banner, they should carry on their cerme t add rim and fall with it.' -.Prof. • Melvin. now amended his amendment so sato make It read "the religion of Jesus Christ.° . • • - Mr: Kennedy favored this amendment bedauae he , considered it-contained the Vital principle contended for lu this movement. No said • beware?, If the brat and second poisons In the Rory Trinity Whre to ho- Itartled- La. thought the third should- also be included. lie favored, however, using a term which would Include all the three in one.' :Dr. Rennin , thought -tlie term, wells Triune Jehovah' . would. cover all the ground. It cleer/y expressed their views andirm-tbirbestArtetbed - of explaining what they desired without confusing the amendment with verbiage. . Rev. J. C. K. Milligan, of Now York, said f.r the neat of all reasons we did not say thirLertre prayer' .-M.Chrlit's mane, .because He :was theOer Mather to whom we prayed. He did not think Ic . particular about words so that the principle was elearly recognized. The Great Apostle of the Gentiles had taught that urettrirviame of Jeerer every- knee L.should bow," *ban be came Milstein at the feet of thegreat lawgiver he learned that Chriet, He who died on theorem!, • - ires the king's, son, governor of all ea. lions. Supreme Ruler of the universe, to Whontell were required togive °bed'. ..0000 • and do , homage. %aria was the lawgiver, -the Barlow, the Lltil 11:111 BMIM2I Judge and the Sing. Christ • had . ' taught that ho was King. He was op. posed. insulted and madded. The peo. pie refined to Towle:dee him. end the result wee as had been predicted. To day those people are scattered over the .world, their imwer ! . gone, their nation crashed, and themselves wanderers. Why was this? Not because they did not recognise God, but because they re tailed to yield to his Christ. the King of kluge and Lord of Lords. They that do not honor Hint shall, perish. The name .. . .. ..... .... which had called them together was Jeeue enshrined In their hearts. The highest enthusiasm of all Christians was awakened and• inapired by Jeaus their King dying that they might live. They should 'dead by thin name Until their object should be attained. Rev. Mr. Andrew*, of West Rewic,e, thought the. sebatittite of Dr. Maisano gave them ill that Was desired. They simply wished to have a: recognition of Th t chriatianity, and the sub Mute did that in as unobjectionable a mas it could be expressed, while it re id the prin. mete which they desired. Rev. Dr. Page arose to correct a theo logical error, made by speaker who mid that when we pre ed, ushig the Lord's Prayer. we pray not to God but to Christ. He thought' that was alto gether wrong. Prof. Sloan said be did net watit to rue . into theological discussion. The princi ple contained in the substitute offered by Prof. Naivetes was all they wanted. When he (the speaker) was in Wash ington City he bad hoard that reaolation read in the presence of Dr. Channing, the Unitarian, who at once said ha had no ohjscdon to It, because It was scriptural doctrine. That, then was all that was wanted—sofuething upon. which all good men favoring Christianity could unite. This amendment gave that, and everything oleo was irrelevant: `Rev. Mr. Stevenson said It the name of Teens were omitted, the movement would lose the enthusiasm with which it wee now belt % received by . Christians every where. He favored the amendment. It met with the favor of all, and it alone would bring emcees to their efforts. ROT. Dr. Elliott said he wished to have an unanimous vote infavor of the amend ment which rscognissd thriat. He was lu Harrisburg at ono time to the years peat when a motion wee made to Invite the pastors to open the proceedings with Prayer. The motion was discussed and then voted down. The neat year the roughs took possession of the Legislature end some of the men who voted ; down the resolution providing far Opening prayer bad to flee t{elore their wrath. Surely the Lord bath uade the wrath of man to praise him. (Applaueo) A vote vra% then taken upon the amendment, I which wee unanimously carried, u was also the resolution, as amended. Tho third resolution was then read, upon which a slight amendment wu of- Arad by Prof. Mcllyalne. Rev..l. W. Bain read a short extract from Henry Ward Beecher's paper, and said i great many people said, "well, now, if you do make your amendment, what good - will it do? What advantage belt?" There was a point there which ought to be cliarcuased, lie did not wish to make a speech upon It. Rev. Ur. Andrews said the ono point should be continually kept in view—that this movement was simply to keep the government as it had been In the past. A great many people characterized . this movement as a new reform. This was altogether a mistake, It was simply to allow the ship of State to go on In her voyage as she had been doing. A reat many people. good men, too, argued that this was only an enticing argument, which, when followed out, would lead to a union of Church and State. This was altogethera mistake. It was simply de signed to hold the nation to Christianity, ea that when the enemy came Ia they might have the vantage ground. The command WM. "In ail thy ways =know. ledge Him, and He will direct thy paths." This we. the time to put the nation der the guidance of God. Rev. Geo. P. Hays said the people might take the courts and they might say that the common unwritten law bald the people to Christian law, but there was nothing in the Meditation which Prevented Congress passing wicked laWrs- The murder of children might hologiti • matized by Megrims, and it would not be unconstitutional. It was time to turn the argument agent thom. It reminded him of a little dog story: A. man had one of these araaatrus little quadrupeds which always stteaked pedestrians who passed the house of its owner. It had heeds muse of great vexation toe neigh bor who had occasion to paws by dallyi and at hat worried out ho had told the owner to take care of it or he would do so. The owner told him the dog had a right to bark and bite and be would not allow Its Reedy to be re stricted:- The next day the gentleman passed the. house carrying a sword cans in hie hand. The animal canted. him again and caught him by the hods. The weapon was quickly put In use and inn through it, to that, it irarkr-d no more. The owner In a rage came out and de. mantled why his dog had been . thus treated. "Becalm ho bites," was the reply. "Then why didn't you use the other end of the cane?" "Because the dog didn't nee hiriether end." (Iraughter and apps.) Bo the speaker contended the argument should be turned against the opponents of title movement. It should be shown Mesa what our Consti tution permitted, and ben they would clearly Bee the necessity of making a change., (Avatar...a.) . Mitchel said he would tell a little dog story, as that was in faahlen, and then he would allude toe point which he wished to make. Chairman--Yee'd better allude to the point, Bret. The. gentlemancontinued hie little story and contended that,it was the Igno. rance of - Nem:momenta of this measure which mede them ask what good can this do. The people only asked that this amendment should be discussed and then decided by the people. Then when they Ma derided the matter they would naturalliad out what they professed; and the nation would be established upon a Christian basis. That was the maces. sity to change the Conetltution,—pat In a Christian amendment. . Remarks wore made by several gexi. tleineu, when a vote was taken andt.las resolution Ironed unanimously.' ' The sixth resolution was read. Rev. Mr.. .Bala acid Henry Ward Beecher had maid that this movement looked to the enforcement of the religion of the majority. This was a mlarepre• sentation. Moat emphatically • did they deny anything of this kind, and they wished it to go before. the people as a denial of thst Idea. 4 The resolution *ea adopted. The last resolution was adopted with trot debate. • • - • The reaolutlorut as a whole were then adopted, as follows; . • THE iszsazarriora. .Resereed, That civil 'government it grounded, like the family, In the priori-. pies of the nature of man as a social creature, and that It has its powers and functions thus determined by the Urea; tor, and is therefore like the family, an ordinance of 00t1. • Ilea°Eyed, That nations, as well es Roy. reit:dies, wielding moral u. well as physical power, and basing moral as well as material objects, are morally turcounb able to God. Pesolved, That the moral laws under which nations are held .accountable, Include not only the law written on the heart of man, but also wherever It. Is known,"the fuller revelation of the Divine character and will, given In the Bible. Resolved, That It is the right and duty of nations as snob; no lest than the indl. vldnais composing them, to worship God according to the religion of Jesus Christ. Resolved, That in,,a f der to maintain and give permanency to' the Chrlitiat features which have marked this nation from its origin, It le ntweesarY to give them authoritative ganglion In our or fiesofted, That • itie: iSroposial amen& Meld of our National Constitution, co far from infringing any individual; righis of.congelence, or tending, in t tenet degree to a anion ofilburch• a d Sate, will afford, the fullest !wrung against a corrupt and corruptioWdharch establishment, nud form the, strongest safeguard of both the Clidl and religious liberties of all eitigetut.. Resolved, That the present movement to not socuirlan nor even eacletentical, but that It is the acknowledgment of the duty and the suwertion of the right of . People who believe in the truth of Chris Beatty to govern themselves In a Chris• den manner. The form of amendment suggested to be Incorporated for substance in the pre• amble iv as follows t ...We, the people of Utd United ..States, [acknowledging Almighty God as the source of all . an thorny and power in civil government, the Lord Jesus C'ariat a 2. the Ruler among the nations, and his revealed will as of Supreme authority, In order to Con.

Stoddard, of the University of Pennsylvania, Who deliVered a care, fully prepared and effective address. After an able and detailed statement of the minion which the advocates of the now bonnie assented, he proceeded to answer some of the ;man prominent objections to the charge. Among these wax one which contended that the au thority of God was recognized In all the acts Of Government,' Inferentially and that there was no need of any more forntil acknowledgment' In tine organic law of the State. Beconeinded however that the acknowledgment to be each mend be found In the written as well as the unwritten law of the Govennuent. Toillustrate he attest the instanee of a noble person, by birth a liting, - and asked if hemould «wader In the Constitution of Ms Country, a 'llene° concerning Ida diatom es an edmissien of thorn. Would he consider the tdlcore as snlflcient an knowledgement. The refusal- to bird the nation to a formal. acknowledg• mast of this "truth'. foroad•zupon every reasonable:l:ond the conviction that the design wag to getrid of it as soon as pos. table. Besides, the refusal indicated a want of courage: The mittterWis agreed to unofficially, - but . it was Sad 'raised to the dignity of an official act. But It went further then that.

I;i3==El!! - •• • • • Rev. D. McCollister was. next intro. dneed to the audience. He said on ac count of • severe cold he had wished to be relieved from speaking, but had been informed by the committee that be need only talk for a short time. Passing by th• hrgnmente which bad been made. he turned to the legal as pect of this Movement. He proposed to look at it on the fanclanaehtal, consti tutional law. He, would eadeavor to prove that the national demands of the laws were in. favor of this amend ment. Government Is the cen tral of the nation, and the agent of the mitten. The original constitution of the nation then is pi evidential. Upon I this be proposed to base his remarks. This distinction should be remembered, as it had an important bearing upoif the answer which 'would be given to the question. _ . Many political • economiats , and statestnen had recognized this fact, , and had noted Otis distinction, that there, must have been an existing sovereignty to originate say Csanufltution, as (or Ina stance, tor. Bronson Raid our Constitu tion was two fold—written and unwrit ten. One was the State paper, the other was the wishes of the People, it was providential and reflected the sentiments of the. people. , There Is nottilestioti as to this distinc tion. Call the ono written constitution, the one as a written evideacebf the nation's organization. The • other, the unwritten, t e providential, the vital constitution the nation as represented In the people Now, Chia latter constitu tion gees far o form the wtitten consti tution. On e other band, the written a =siltation . should and must accord with that In the minds of the people. As, for instance, the vital constitution of our nation at the time of the revolution was in favor er American unity, while the written' constitution was that of Great Britain. In the end the written coned. tution was changed to accord with this vital constitution • among the people. The written Ceestitntion it is thus seen Is inferior to the former—the written must give place and accord with the un. written. This was the principle involved In this whole matter. Au the Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath, so the Constitution was made for the people,not the people for the Von - *Mutton. Thee.) prlnciplee should be I, borne in mind—the one• should be sub. ordinate to the other. • Now from this principle the question arlaes, what lathe written. Cohatitution or this nation, and what lathe unwritten? Asa legal instrument It Should accord with that which the nation as eompseed cfludlviduals, dictates. Now let no go back to history and we sec that this nation wan founded as a Christian •nation. It was founded by people who came hero for that eremite purpose. In all the oolonial ; charters this fact wee recognised and it, was atilt the acme. Tots was the fact of the vital' or unwritten Constitution. Now what is the written Constitution? Pie find it does no. •s cord with the other In any degree. It might as well be that. of en infidel nation. 'when the Government etelorgenlaed under Its present . COllati• lotion there wore men In the Assembly who , wlahed to have Christianity rtßogrdsea, but that so many were there from various sects it was deemed advisable, and the wisest policy to cc. cord to all the utmost freedom, and not en give It even the alighest tincture of nactarianism. But the time' ware Changed now, and when the infidel came forward and said It was not a Chriatian nation, that we had no authority in our ConStltutlon for its recognition, it .was time that the people asserted their opin ion anti demanded that the written Con stitution should accord with the vital one—that there should not be any clash. leg between what the people desired and what the Charter of Nationality, ex prtesfii. Ito knew that he spoke the sentiments and to the hearts of the pen. ,pie when he said they never would allow thelF nation to be degraded to the level of the false plulosophy and Infhtellty of France or the skeptic:l= of Germany. 'ln view of theca facts ho thought now win tho time to do tho work, and the people should at once demand It. [Ap plause • =CCM The chairmen announced that In ac• COrdance with the resolgtion a ootlectlon would now' be taken rip to defray the expenses of the Convention. Gentlemen were appointed and the hat commenced to circulate when a delegate electrified the audiences instal:dada's tones with the remark.,'-aricounrinied by a greenback thrown Into the lat.
