He received no officlal_notico of the fact, bub;.learning of it whilo traveling, he sddressed » mote to the Council declining to nccodoto thorequest, snd saying ho would make no spology.

Its liko conld not bo ;mxml in history. Mo took tho positionhe did or 3 TIMEE REASONS ¢ 1. Becanso tho Council commenced proceod- ings in o projudiced and biased state “of mind unfavorable to tuo acoused. Evnrg ‘member of the body know that, and could not. ouy it. 2. Becauso the Council procecded to Me- Carthy without specifications—those furnished being In blank, and others were tacked on o the charges aftor McCarthy was nrraigned. 3. Tho acts of tho Couacil wore not worthy of mco§u|tlun, from tho fact that ho was prosecuted ublicly, and forced, by a cruel adict, to make his lefenso in secrot. McCarthy was triod on o corfnin indictmont, sud & vordict should have boen rondercd:accord- Ing to the evidonce under that indictmont; snd ho should have been pronounced guilty or innocent © upon cach succossivo accouat. Time should bhave been taken to ascor- tain his guilt or jonocence. But the indiotment was not bofore the Council, nor was the evidenco, only so far a8 tho brothren could romember ik during the socrob sossion. In bringing in the verdict the Counoil might just ns woll have dono what they did in tho first hour they mot without hoaring any evideuco ot all. They could just ns well Lavo condomnod him then, and cortainly could havo acted as intolli~ gently as they did. T'hey declared Lim to bo o “ Christian,” and by that aot entircly set aside tho indictment and pronounced it false, Me- Carthy could not wish for A CLEANER RECOND than that ; that voto was tho best kind of o church-lottor ; it sobt him freo from every oharge, and blotted out tho cloud of insinuatious that had gathered abont him, and it showed, as nothing olse had done, that tho prosecution was prompted by malico and persocution from bo- ginving to end. NO LEGAL POWE. . Even if Mr. McCarthy had been proven guilty under evory count in the indictment, the Coun- cil had no legal power to put him out of tho. minfetry, - That power bolonged to the ~church alono; tho Council was simply advigory. Henco their action was illegal, tud oyery momber who voted for his doposition was liablo to Ymflnamlon in the civil courta, Dnco in the ministry o moan was in for life, un- less ha voluntarily laft it, It could not be possi~ blo that he was deposed becauso Lo was o failuro, alnco ninoty-nine out of & hundred of tho minis- tera could Do turncd outif success woro mado the eriterion for retontion, ‘Chere wore multitudes of men in tho ministry who had not tho talent to prench tho Gorpel, though they might be as vir- tuous ag a #nfub. . 1B WILL BECOONIZE NI, 1o should still recognizo Brother McOarthy as s miniater, and ho adinired Brotuer Gordon for the bold snd manly stand ho had taken with rof- pronce to him, The ministers who had doposed McCarthy would rue the day whon thoy offonded “‘ono of Christ’s litule ones,” 'Chey had antirely forgotton tho Divine rule, “As yo would that men ehould do to you, do yo avon so to thom."

MR. GOR- 3 DON. by Yootordny morning, at the conolusion of ser- vicos, tho Rov. Jobn Gordon, pastor of the ‘Wostern Avenuo Baptist Church, tendored tohia congrogation his absoluto and peremptoryresig- nation of & position which he has so long and 8o accoptably held. Ho stated that his course dur- ing and sinco tho MoOarthy'trial, his action in the Council, and his statomont published nfzor 1t closed its Inbors hind boon viowoed with disnpprov- al by o groat majority of the mombers of the churoh and its officors. Tho rolations whioh had oxistod betwoon them in tho past hnd boen so plossant that he wished nothing to happon which would mar tho pleasantness of their memory. In ordor that thore might bo 1o discord within the zhnxoh which. mi;i-ht in time ‘grow into s war, 5 bad concluded fo ~dissolvo the rolations betweon them, peremptorily, and nothing ~ which thoy could say. ~ would induco him to chango his. mind. He thon gave notico of a businoss-meoting this' evening, to which_his resignation would bo officiaily pro- sentad, and at which the necosenry action could b takon thoreon, This news was unoxpscted by and unplensant to tho congregation. Many of thom had apoken rather sharply of the way in which Mr. Gordon had sided with Mr, McUsrthy, but they bolieved that ho was sincere in his course, snd had no idea thint what thoy said would lead to their los- ing tho sorvicos of so valuablo and popular o man, Thoy had critivised his course with o groat desl of fracdom, but this was thoe only time thoy ever had found fault with Lim, snd ovon in this instance thoy admitted that sllowancos must ‘bo made for his long acquajntance with MeCarthy, and tho intimnte terma on which he had boon with him, This Western Avonuo Church is, to & groat oxtont, the work of Mr. Gordon’s own hands. Ho was called to it whon tho building was a . shanty, aud the congrogation consisted of only ty, g = fow souls. Undor his able managemont, it hns grown up to bo ono of the stmulfuut in the city, and his salary, which was originally $600 a yeor, 16 now moro than thrico that sum. Ho is on nd- murable worker, & man of great oxocutive ability, fond of his work, and liked by hia people, who, whon ho was marriod lsst_yoar, ovorwholmod “him-with presonts, Ho i8 t60 good o man for tho chureh to loko, but any effort they may mako to retain him will doubtlees bo fatilo. It ia not unlikely that, sftor all, thero is & lit- tla protonso in aseigning tho McCarthy business 83 the roason for this resignation. " A church- war {8 a thing to bo shunn 08 rocont oxpori- enco in the Union Park Baptist Church have shown, but if is not likely that ono would bave broken out in the Westorn Avenue Church, which is not so split up into cliques and cotoxies, and where a wiso olergyman hns so systematize: mattors a8 to provido work for all. It is more likely that Mr. Gordon is conecious of his abil- ity, and ¢hinks that ho is desorving of bettor or groater things than the %!nammto of an out-of- tho-way church. This McCarthy matter ma; bave been rogarded by him ™ as . goo oxcose for loaving this _congrogation, which ho could not have decently abundone on-any othor ground, and the result will doubt- 1oss bo that bo will botter his condition financi< elly.

Ordor of Potrons of Husbanary,-and in tho develop- mont of the Farmers' Movoment, undoubtedly W witness tho inauguration of a NEW EBA IN HUMAN PROGRRSE, Through all history wo learn that the enslave- mont or oppression of tho masges of those who Inbor *procedes and producos rovolution; that rovolution is followed by omancipation; and that in tho upheaval of the substratum of socloty thus producod, lie tho cloments of all social progross. Evor sinco the Almighty commandoed man to ent his bread by tho swont of his brow, thore hos been robellion, and every dovice that human in~ gonuity could invent has boon brought iu to as- ‘slst ia evading tho Divine law. Moat of tho mis- ory and bloodshed that the raco have suffored have had their origin in this causo ;-nud the ovils that the Amoricon farmor suffors to-day ro- sult from the samo fruitful sourco; aud it is tho snme rebollion ngainst Divine authority which impels ono olass horo to live upon the sweost and toil of anothor. But, bofore we cousider tho mission of the Grange, or tho way of escape from the difficulties that surround tho farmer, we will look at tho condition of tho farmer 88 we now find him, and to some. of the immodiate couses of that condition. Of oll classos among civilized nations, farmors hiavo over been the most numnorous, yetof all clagres tho tillor of tha soil 18 THE LEAST ENOWN. ‘History records the eoxploits of Kings and he- roes; tho inspiration of tho prophet, the orator, “and tho poot, is trausmitted in words that burn, from goneration to genoration; the story of thoir loves and hates, thoerr joys and sorrows, hoe desconded to us, and is known' to overy gchoolboy in the Iand; whilo the architeotural’ pilo, tho ohiselodmarblo, and tho glowing can- vas immortalizo tho namo of tho srtist and the artigan. Bub what does history toll us of tho farmor? Whero is tho record of bis achicve- ments? Who cares to tell tho story of his joys and sorrows? Whero aro the monuments of his handiwork? Eobo nnswors whoro ! Tho position of tha farmor in all agos of the world has boen one of sorvitude; he has beon bought and sold with tho soil he tills, consti- tuting an inalionable part of tho roal cstato of his ownor'; bo has baon bonght and old, as you ‘would buy and soll cattlo or horaes ; and, whon baving - tho nome of freeman, ho Lina been so hamperod with taxation and claims by the governing clasges that Lis cnso has beon - MORE HARABSING AND UNPLEASANT than that of tho avowed slave. ; Many conturios ago, tho inspired Apostle do-'! clared that * God bath mado of oue blood all natiops that dwoll on tho facoof tho carth ;" thnt truth becamo lke tho particlo of leaven that the woman hid in throo measures of meal. For contury after contury, and age aftor age, that little truth ‘worked oud formouted in the bumen mind nnd beart, till ouother propheb nrose, and, in othor words, roitorated tho ssme truth; he said, ** Wo hold theso truths tobe solf~ ovident: that A1l meu aro created oqual, and aro ondowed by thidr Creator with coriain’ inaliou- nble rights, amcxa,shich aro life, liborty, and tho pursuit of hapyness,” This was-the baptis- mal formula of anew nation, the consescration of a now government to the onds and purposes for which God designed all human governmoats. But, as is often the case, tha solomn truths thus Bolomnlyutterod wore unhooded; and, though thoy proolaimed liberty to tho enslaved, the slave folt his ‘ohnins rivoted all the tighter, and sor- vitudo continued to be the lok of tho tilter of tlie goil, But the truth had boen spoken, and spos- tlea proclaimed it through tho Inad, "Tho farmor of the North saw tho tillor of tho soil at the South, that his chaina wore more galling, his yoke ‘moro oppressive, than his own; and, Cliristinn-like, Lio furFok Lis own sufforings in his desire to allevinta the -distrossos of a brother, SBohe dewnuded of the ospreuuor that ha should * broak overy yoke -and leb the op- prossed go freo.” Tho mandate was heard AKD ODEYED ; it was tho awalkened conscienco of tho Northorn farmer, moro than anything olee, that roisad the question of tho abolition of Slavory, and it was the strong arm of the Northern™ farmor that achieved the viotory. R ‘Tho strugglo ovor, the victory accomplished, o fow years of rost to restoro the wasted enorgics, and $ho-farmer is again soon preparing for buttlo, Op&vruaulnu, hydra-ieaded, baflledin one diroction and apparently slnin, bas turned upon his doatroyor, and, with its wounds all hoalod, ro- nows the contest: and now the former must fight for his own flbnrty, and for tho libortios of his own sons and daughtora.
