The Kpihcopal Convkntion. Tlicrr was
iiiitc a spirited dcdiate in the Convention yes
terday morning, arising from tlio discussion of
ii resolution offered by Air. Dubois, ofOhio, dec-hiring
the nso of any other dosirrnutioti tlmn
that properly belonging to the church nsntili
i r. i "fr h nt and of evil tendency. The reason
tfiven for the introduction of this resolution was
lint n delegate from Connecticut (iinderstuiNl to
'or lli.j Rev. Dr. Jarvis) bad declared himsell to
jo n Presbyter of (lie Reformed Catholic Cburcb,
mill the nutliorof tbc motion seemed at first in
rjini'il to doubt (lie capscity of tbc delegate to
appear ns a representee in tbe Convention, in
asmuch as, by his own declaration, be bad join
ed another church, or at leas', did not belong to
the Protectant Episcopal Church. The debate
wlrch ensued wag conducted with much Chriit.
tinn courtesy nnd moderation, and was only ter
minated by the withdrawal of the resolution.
The prinaipal speakers were Dr. Rro-jko, of ()
bio: Dr. Haws, of Miss ; Dr. Ojjilby, of N. J. j
Dr. Tyng, Dr. Mason, Rev. Mr. Voting, Rev.
Mr. Dolt, Judge Chambers and Mr. Dubois.
The subject thus brought before the Jlmue
his n bearing upon the differences of opinion
which have for some time agitated the Church,
and the discussion will, no doubt, be renewed
the first opportunity that offer?. During a por
tion of the time occupied by the debute, the
House of Bishops were taking their usual re
cess, and many of the members of that House ap
peared as listeners in the seats appropriated to
tlicir use behind the chancel. Phil. Ledger.

Mr. Webster made a speech to the whig of

intentionally omitted, to tell the people of Penn

Webster's Faneiiil Hall speech, in reference to

charges against Mr. Shunk. in relation to the
Catholic story. 1 he Danville paper was freely
circulated in Sbamokin, and contains, among o

We have lost this district by a majority of 1 SO
to 200, the result of local jealousies and petty
strife. We confess wc are not mm h disappointed.
We expected and predicted the result when the
nomination was made. Cell. Peti ikin is a good
citien, and a worthy man ; but we were satisfied
that niether he nor any of the other Lycoming
candidates could succeed in their own county.
We were therefore anxious though we ili.l not
