SEiV`The General Synod of the Lutheran
Church in the Unilid States, convened at
Dayton, Ohio. on the 14th inst. It now
numbers within its organization not less
than 27 Synods, comprising nearly the en
tire . Lutheran Church in the U. States.—
The numberof delegates and advisory metn- 1
bors present at Dayton was about 150.
Rev. Mr. Lochman, of York, was elected
Prsident; Rev. Mr. Sadder, of Middle
town, Secretary :, and Hon. P. S: Michler,
of Easton, Treasurer. The Sy ncidinal tbs.-
course was preached by Rev. Dr. Schmuck

bany-; Rev. Iluttet:, of Philadelphia ; Rev.
Harkey, of Illinois ; Rev. Sadder, 'of Mid

tltb week. A variety of important, useful
and interesting business was transacted by
the body, connectcd with the inteiests of
the Lutheran Chu l reh in the United States.
Modest Assurance.
A meeting of German adopted citizens
was held at Washington liall,New Yo'rk,
on Sunday, the 27th instant, At this meet -
ing Know Nothingism was denounced as
a - reseurection of the bones of the Tories
of the Revolution. They denied tike ex
istence of any "Native American," and of
any moral accountability to Deity. The
Prohibitory Liquor Law was denounced as
equally pernicious with Know Nothingism,
and both were to be resisted, "peacefully
if we can, forcibly if we must." To these
resolutions they affixed their names, and
in the words of the Declaration of Inde
pendence, pledged "their lives, their for
tunes and their sacred honors" to support
them.
Here we have the true spirit of the for
eign element manifested ! A Uuion of in
fidelity. rum, riot, and a total dirsegard of
of all moral accountability. How would
American born citizens fare under their
cortrUl ? In the language of Wise, they
would, put their feet uri the necks of the
decendants of those who fought, bled and
won our Independence, with the exulta
tion of fiends. They remember the flogging
given to their fatliers when they were
fighting to put down the rising spirit et li
berty in this country.
(tulle "Tender and Saftred,”
' In the platform adopted. by the pro-sla
very Hunker majority of the Know Noth
log National convention, in Philadelphia,
we find the followingplank incorporated
"11. tenter mid sacred regard for those acts of
"statesmanship which are to be contradistin
tuished from acts oQirdinary legislation, by
"the fact of their being of the nature of com
'pacts and agreements, and so, to be consider
ed a fixed' and settled national policy."
This declaration is to be considered as
having reference solely to what is known
as "Comproinises." and the "tender and ea
cred regard" which is felt therefore, may
be judged from the fact that the majority
refused to denounce the repeal of the Mis
souri• Compromise, which bad become a
"fixed and sett lednational policy," and from
the further fact that the Chairman of the
Committee wbo reported the Platform, en
doried ' the violation d the "compact"
whereby the - Kansas-Nebraska outrage was
Perpetrated upon the people. This subli
mated viesi of profession and practice may
be perfectly reconcilable to. Northern
Doughfaceism. but we fancy that, when it

in, his late idterestiug volume, "Evenings
with the .JCsuits"—a work distinguished

groups together some impressive incidents,
whiah we commend to the attention of the
Pennsylvanian. He says that the yearly
'averitge of minders in All Italy--in that
land where the Chuch of Rome is Su

every year there are left murdered in cold
blood more men, women and children than
often falriu our most blood - stained battle

and nunneries, and confessionals—in the
land where, of all else on the wide surface
of God's entation, we might, expect the full
and happy development of all the re•
atrsints which the Church of Rome impo.
sea upon crime—ln the land where priests,
and monks, and nuns exceed one hundred
and twenty thousand ! Mr. Whiteside in
forms us that, at Assissi there are twelve
convents ; at Foligno. twelve for meths,
and eight for nuns ; as Spolotto, twenty.
two ; at Terni, five ; at Moroi, seven for
monks, and five for nuns. It appears,
too, that at Perugia there are thirty.four,
while in Rome there are sixty-four for
monks, and fifty for nuns !• And yet it is
in this very district that the murders a

and Sicily, there are, or rather were, a few
years ago, sixteen thousand• four hundred

in the world, and datre there is also the tar
' gest proportion ofarime to be found in any

thing at least is certain, as derived from

It seems that Presideet Pixtioz, acting
no doubt under i the direction of JEFF. DA
VIS, ATCHISON and other ultra Slavery
propagandists, has broken ground against
Gov, REEDER, oI Kansas. whim he him
self ;appointed, but who did not make him
self
subservient to the purposes of these
Southern dictators, and has in effect sus
pended bim•,from office. The pretext is a
charge that Gov. REEDER has illegally
'speculated, with other territorial officers,
in Indian lands awl reservations— a course
of conduct in which they were no doubt
expected to indulge, when appointed, as
part of the perquisites and stealings appur
tenant to their offices ; but Gov. R.. hav
ing from enlightened view of his own pri
vate interests as ,a landed proprietor ,
knowing the blighting effect of Slavery u-•
pen the productiveness and market value
of land, or from whatever reason, crossed
the path of these men who were determin
ed to plant slavery in the territory, this ac
mutation of laud speculatiou has been re
vamped in order to afford a pretext for his
suspension and final . reMoval front office.—
PIEROE thus bids largely for S i outhern
favor, and removes the main obstacle to the
operations of the conspirators who are now
at work to fashion Kansas into a Slave
State. The following letter from the Wash

carcfuly and thoughtfully :
The orders of the President suspend
ing Gov. Reeder uud Judge Johnson and
U. S. District Attorney pianos, from the
execution of their functions as United Sta
tes officers iu the territory of Kansas until
they.shall satisfactorily explain their "ap
parent" violation of the acts of Cangrees,
and regulations of the Department, as re
gards their purchase of the lands of Kan
sas half-breed reserves, appeared in the
Union of yeEterd:ty, together with the cor
respondence leading to it.
The order to Gov. Reeder was deliver
ed to him on the eve of his departure from
New York, on his return to Kansas, and
it will be seen that it did not present his
procedure. He will go and take care of
his private interests there, and make the
the "satisfactory explanations," at leisure.
Gov. Reeder admits the practice by him
self and his official associations, and, fur
ther, he claims the right to make such pur
chases. The suspension of the functions
of the governor will, therefore, be perma
meet.
Perhaps it was thought judicious to dis
place Gov. Reeder in order to prevent an
expected collision bettireen the de/itelo and
the de jure authorities of the territory.—
There will be no danger of the interrup
tion of the public peace in Kansas, fur
the Missouri party has carried every point
at which they aimed, and which could, in
the nature of things, be at present accom
plished, except the threatened hanging 0
of Reeder. One would suppose that, if
the purchases complained of, were illegal,
they would be simply null and void—and
as if never made. But it may be alleged
that the territorial officers were guilty of
some Misconduct in regard to the pureha—
ses, or rather attempt to purchase. •
There must be • some charge of this
ind, as the basis of the government order.
It has been said, for instance, that these
°dicers, including Gov. Reeder. had ac
ted in a 'disorganized manner, and set a had
example. by denouncing the policy or the
right of the U. S. government to withal('
the Indian lands from public sale. [f Gov.
Reeder did this, it was a grievous felt and
it is most extraordinary that the govern
ment did not immediately dismiss them
all, instead of waiting till thjs late day to
see whether Gov. Reeder would resign
or not, as e'arnestly, solicited."
TESTIMONIAL TO COMMODORE

scene of tho, battle at Chadd's Ford, in
which his ancestor first shed his blood in

p:J'The Slavery part of the Knoir No

of the yeas and nays on the question, calls
attention to the fact that the yeas repre
sented 'fifteen States, with 146 electoral
votes, while the nays represented sixteen
States, with 150 electoral votes. 'Each
State was entitled to seven delegates, and
the reason why the South carried the Plat
form was owing alone to the fact that there
was a better attendance in the delegations
from the Slave than the Free States.

NATIVE ArstcAN§.—The vessels from

and faithful on board ship. They areaf•
ten'atien strutting about our street with all
their dignity, staring open eyes and open
mouth at die gad windows, and jabber
ing their vernacular with a nonchalance
which altogether puts to shame the Yan
kee lingo. They are your real Congoes—
pure, unadulterated Guinea negroes, black
as darkness ;'self, and as independent as
a whole platoon of Fourth of July boys.
They invariably purchase . a trunk of
knick knacks to take back to their burn
ing sand and delight the eyes of the sable
damsels at home. A few days ago some
half dozen .of these representatives of the
legitimate African stock were about in
sail in the barque'. John Swasey. Of

The delight they manifested when, array
ed in their finery, they examined their
appearances in the looking glasses which
they drew forth upon the wharf, was quite
amusing to witness. They had managed
to acquire a considerable knowledge of
English, and a reply of one of them to a
questioner displayed a shrewdness worth

NEW SeEciES or %V nEAT.—There have
lately been imported and deposited in the
agricultural division of the Patent Office,
four varieties of wheat : the Hungarian
wheat • die Napoleon white wheat, well
suited ; or Southern States, hut too tender
for the Northern ; the Saunter wheat,
tint the early Noe wheat. As the latter
two have the property of ripening some
days before our common varieties, if they

[and is a very remarkable variety of winter
wheat. The ear is strong and full, of a

ers, The straw is very white, and grows
!higher than that of ordinary wheat,,while
it Is also larger and sweeter. The , Nue
wheat was introduced by Mr. De Noe,

productive nature, is gradually supersed•

CURIOUS TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR.-
1 Professor French, in his latest work on
the English language, points Out a curious
typographical error is the 26th verve of
' the 23d chapter of Matthew. The words
H which strain tat a gnat and swallow a
camel," the professor thinks contains a
misprint, which, having been passed over
in the edition of 1611, has held its ground
' ever since. The translators intended to
I say, ••which strain out a gnat und swallow
a camel," that being tae correct rending
of the original, as appears in Try nsdale
and Creamer's translations, both ofl
which have "strained out." It was the
custom of the stricter Jews to strain their
wme, vinegar and other portables through
linen or gauze, lest unawares they should'
drink down some little unclean insect as a
gnat, and thus transgress the Levitical law. !
It was to this CUMOUI, it is alleged, the
Saviour alluded, intending to say that the
Scribes and Pharisees, while they strain
out a gnat from their drink, would yet
swallow a camel at a gulp.
