Ono was tha Conforonce at Buddiugton’s, whore digni~ fied, enrnest argumonts wore listonod to with profound attention, Tho other was o conaulta- tion of tho Plymouth Congrogation at Beecher's, a formal cut-and-dried proceeding palpably man- agod by Beecher and his brothor Edward, and voted upon, amid considerable hilarity snd somo vulgarity, by an aidienco largaly composed of young women and Mr. Boochor's most prominent portivans, such ns Thomas &, Sherman, .of Eris Railroad evil'fame; Halliday, his associnte-paa- tor, who was pguilty of ono very obscono joko; Jobn D. Howard, omo of tho propriotors of tho Christian Union, edited by Boccher; Horatio 0. King, publishor of the samo, and others. All this would be unworthy of montion if TIE CONTRAST J Votwoon the two meetings was not tho talk of the towa to-night. The ono was simply scandalous, and the action of Plymoutl, as woll as their ro- ply forwardod, hns caused that Ohurch tho loss of much sympsthy it lind, In addition to tho scandslous publications in tho Beocher intorcst alludod to yostorday, inju- dicious frionds wore to-dny cireulating at the Oonferonco cheap, scandalous cartoous dircoted against Buddington and Storra, At THE MEETING AT PLYMOUTII OHURCE thors woro about 700 porsons prosent, of whom it was estimatod G00 were members of tho church. Bofore tho assembly iwss called to or- der auimated conversation was goiug on about tha platform, where woro olusterod tho leaders of thought in the church, From ther words it was ensy to forotell which way the weight of opinion would go.

Tho ad{ournmont of tho mooting to a dsy long aftor the Counci's work will bo ovor was for the oxproas object, ns Mr. Beocher romarkod In an undertone, of impross- iug upon the Council that tho action tekon was Boal, and that no more ‘moetings should boe convened to considor that subjeet in any case, AT THE CONFERENCE o long di ecuesion as to the character of thoCoun- cll, whotber ex-patte, advisory, or mutual, ocen- pied the morning withont roault. The debate was intorjuptod by the prosontation of the ro- aponso of Plymouth Church. Tho reading was listoned fo attentively, the delogntes ovinclng thelr approval or disepproval of the positions taken by slgns, and occasionally 8 word or two. Bome of the delegatos evidently heard what thoy expooted ; others betrayod thoir disappointment at the toue of the papor, and evidently fely that it bad advanced tho causo of tho two ohurches calling the Councll, and injured that of thoso pro-" souting the paper, The carefully-nimad roforence and gontlo thrust dirocted agaiost tho tio church~ o8 soomod to griove the dologates who hnd mani- fosiod_sympalby with Plymouth. Ono prom- inent delegnto remarkoed that the document was adroit, and was probebly intended rather to at- tract the popular ear (.Ivum to iustruct or plenso tho Council. The aftornoon sossion was dovoted to & long addrous by Dr. Storrs in prosenting tho firss tive points regarding which advico was sought. In he evening, Dr. Budington dwelt upon the other two points. Both n’ri\.lrmuu were yemark- able for cloge reasoning. i —_— AT PLYMOUTH CHURCH. New Yorx, March 25—~Tho leoture-room of Plymouth Ohurch, in Brookly.n, was filled to- day by tho membors of tho congrogation, who aegambled purauant to the adjowrnment on F'ri- day night last, tobo zoady to take suy aotion that might he made nocossary by the procoed- inga of tho Congrogstional Councll, which js now in agssion, Tho.

Tho spealkor read extracts at somo longth from lottors which passed betweon committeos of ' the respoctive churches, and concluded by saying that in those deya of corruption In our Goverament and_halls of logislntion, 1f wo woro not to havo purity in our pulpits, what was to bocomo of our bonsted civihzution? At tho ovening scesion DR._BUDINGTON spoke at longth. In the course of his remartks ho said: If the church changed its fandamantal principles it should also ohango its aato. This indopendonco bisd been olaimod as a now dopar- ture, but it was not Congregational. A Council Iiks this was not uceded, A small Council might have boon. found mara adoquate. -Plymotth Church from tho ficat took a position purely Congregational. Thay wro forced, by our fol- 1owship, b0 ive color to thoso prieiplos whivh they wera opposed to, but when they woro EXPOSED TO POLLUTION, thlr doarest, most ancred aud inalicnablo rights were takon from them.

I W, Bocchor .will throw moro light on tho mattor at issuo than bas hitherto illuminated that very complex subjeot. On the 7tk of Janunry last, Dra, Budington aud Storrs wroto o lotior to Mr. Bocoher, in which thoy stated that, in their viow, the two principles es- sontinl to Congregationalisn woro, first, that tho loeal church .is & brotherhood of ' believers, confessing Christ, in com- mon, o tholr Supromo Lord and Savior, and- covenanting not only. to worshlp to- gother, but to wateh over each othor i the di- Sino ltfo and._sorvice..

Bupposo, furthor, if you will aflow tho suppositition, that the church Htgolf should omit from its Articles of Faith that ono which aflirms the mspiration of the Serip- turos, or that which deolares the Divinity of our Lord, viould f stil, In lis own judgment, ot in yours, bo entitled to claim that the churchos bo- fore in fellowship with it should make no romon- strance, but should contibuo in tho followsbip, without roforenae to its nction ?" In roply to this lottor, Mr. Boochor wroto on tho 14th of January; and snid that, while o as- sonted genorally to tho two principlos laid down 08 essentinl to Cogrogationnlism, ho disontod from nny such viow of mombership ns impliad or assortod that in jniuing a churoh ono 8o Burion- ders his porsongl rights, that ho i uot at liborty to withdraw from it, unless the church gives him baok tho right to do so, No echurch owns its membors, ' No covonant i Beriptural or reasone abla which is in tho naturo of & legal contract. ‘When tho quostion ia prossed vigorously as to the abrolute rights of » msu, Mr. Baccher thought, ho {n not, by ontering & chnreh, divest- ol of Lis right to leavo it on his own proper _conscionce and ronson. Tha Covonant of Plymouth Church contomplatas such fuots, and does not bind him absolutoly. but * 8o long ns, in the providence of God, you shall continue nmong us,” - Mr. Boocher, on this subject, snid, In anothor part of Lis lottor, * T do not wish you to suppose that I advocats tho comumon uso of this ultimato right of the indi- vidual to oxoind himsolt from tho Chureh. Tor soclnl and moral rongons, on acconnt of tho trio spirit_of brothorliood, ' overy ono leaving n church should do it with rospectful notico and nsnont. Aud, thoroforo, tho ground taken by most Jongrogational writors of reputo I should respoot in practice. But if, inany oxiraordinary case, un individual membor choodes to oxerciso his Iatont right, and goos [forth into tho world, or Into suother body, mno chureh which professes to darivo all ite authori- ty from Sacred Scriptures can make this act an offguso; and no smount of consent of Congro- gationnl writors can forbid that whichtho Serip- \tures do not forbid, and’ which the lswa of the land pormit,” 3Mr. Boouhor adds also that when charges have beon mado and judicielly euter- tainod by the Church against ‘suy recoguizod momber’of the Church, and Lo shall then aba; don tho Chuveh for the sakoe of oscaping inves- tigation, it mny bo propor for the Church, go far a4 I8 nocossary to vindieate its own good ' name, .or for tho rellef of sny who may have boon wronged, o procecd il tho. case, and to declare 1ts judgmont. DBut to pursug such au one with'paine and ponallies, after his own withdrawal, would probably roudor ull concorued actionablo at law. On thls point Mr. Boccher further gaid: *Any reprosontations to_you that proceodings ngainst & mombor of Dlymouth Church had beon terminatod by his withdrawal to escapo investigation, or withdrawal, for any other reason, from s recoguized momberehip, while undor judicial process, is wido of tho truth,” In roplyto tho statoments that tho prin- ciples of Congrogationalism lind been imporiled by Plymouth Church, as above describod, Mr. Degcher donied tho first, and pronounced tho sec- ond inoorract. Agaln, i reepouso to tho queries put, Mr. Beochor ssys that,taking tho bypothetical ¢, ho would recommend that, on rocoiving the charges, the Examining Committeo ehould soe the party and prepare for trial. It ouo was doomod necossary, and thoe dofendant did not apponr, tho trial should go on to conviction or acquittal all tho samo. But if tho Committee should, pond- ing the trial, recaive from acousod formal notico of his withdrawal from tho Church, Iir. Boacher would advise that the Committco procoed with tho invastigation, roport the rosult to tho Church, to bo placed on its records, aud the name bo dropped from tha roll. . Dra, Budlngfion sud Btorrs, on the 26th of Januaty, asked Dir. Boochor if e was willing to use hié influonce with his Church to unite with their Church in asking the advico of a Couucil mutually called upon theso questions : Firsi—Doos tho order aud usags‘of Congrogational Oliarchies permit a momber who bua enterad fnto pub- 1o covonsut with a Church to torminate his relation with that Oaureh, by his owa volition or act, 60 that no action on the parl of tho Olreh ia requisito to such tormination of membershin? Second—Was tho nction of Plymouth Chinreh, on tho S1at of Octabor, 1873, in dropping s membor’ against whom gravo aud apocitic charges had beon formally prevonted, an ction In accordnnco with the usages of Congrogatlonal Churclios and with their understanding of tho rurlo of Ohiristian dfscipling ? In roply to this letter, on Fob. 8, Mr. Beachor wrote, aud, aftor indicating & fow changea in thoso ortioles, snid s ‘It mny bo that, withoven lass changes than I hava iadicated, Plymouth Churoh might agroo to go trita you intoa mutnat Counotl, and I make those suggostious in ordor £0 sy that T think that in this stago of afaiea it syould be wise, altor a full considoration of the facling on our side as woll a3 on your own, that a form of call or lottor-missivo bo drawn upwheh I may bo_allowed to lay jnformally boforo a suitable body of eounciling mem- bers of Plymouth Churoh.
