Tho clerical of Town was for him, and it 1s known that the majority of tho Bishops ara in his favor.” —_—— THE SYNOD OF ILLINOIS NORTH, JORNING BEBSION. Tho Presbytorian Synod rosesembled at 9 o'clock yostorday morning, the Rev. Alr. Wilson, Moderator, presiding. Tho Rov. Dr. Frome sald that, as ho had to defond Prof. Swing, ho would wish to have tho Rov. Dr. Eltiott, Professor of Biblical Litoraturo in tho Univeraity of tho Northwent, appointed to assist bim in his labors. This would be abso- lutely neceenary. The requost was acceded to. TUE REV. DR, ELLIOT snid he had beon Prof. 8wing's instructor inloglo st the Oxford, Ohio, Univorsity, which might account for tho opaquity of the Profoss. or's thoological views. [Laughter] Mo did not, howevor, agreo with the vordiot renderad by tho Chicago Prosbytory, and, had be boen of that body, ho would have voted with tho mi- nority. Ifo was rather astonisbed (hat somo of the people who had beon londest in dofonso of Mr. Swing wero not theo ready to defend bim. To sy tho least of tho matter, it was sin. gular, P ‘The Rov. Mr. Ely enid that a report in ono of the morning paposs stating that ho declined the defenss of Prof. 8wing for personal rennony was incorroct. Ho hed none but the kindlicst fesliogs to tho Professor. * Becrotary Smith thon proceeded to resd tho remnant of the voluminos record. ¥ TILE FOLLOWING RESOLUTION was then futroduced, voted upon, and doclared adopted ¢ Lsolved, That in tho appeal cago of Patton va. Bwlng, only ko much of the documentary evidence bo read a8 wus actually read before tho Preshytery of Chicago, but tho counsel for Yrof. Swing may uso sucls ports of tho printed scrmons os they moy desire, Tho Moderator anunounced that the oviderco wag in, and tho Synod took the noon rocess. ATTERXNOON SESSION. The Moderutor, on calling the Synod to order, remurked that e was in error in stating that all the evidence was in. Thero etill remained sov- eral oxcracts from the sermons of Prof. Bwirg, wich &iad been beforo the Presbstery, and wero, thorefore, in order for reuding before tho Byuod. Tho Scorotary was about to read the matter alluded to, whon the Rev. J. H. Moore iuterposed to say that the rosolution passed in tho morn- iug bad disposed of those oxtracts, and that, thorofore, thoro was no necessity for reading them, Too much time would be consumod. The extracts read by counsel wero not really evidouco, and should not bo so ncceptod. The Moderator—Let the Stated Clerk of the Chicago Presbytery mnform the Synod on tho matter, The Stated Clork—iho Rov. Ifr. Johnson— eaid that the argumonts of counsol wora not con- sidored evidonce by the Presbytory, and wero ex- cluded by o vale of that body. The Moderator snid that, under tho oclreum- stancos, ho felt it to bo his duty to reverse his decision in reference to tho oxiracts. Onepoint bad been omittod—tho reading of the voto of tho Chicago Presbytory in detail. This formal mattor was disposed of, tho read- ing being dono by tho Rev. Mr. Johuson, "o Moderator—All tho evideuco being rend, tho ey, I'rof, Putlon is ne liberty Lo procecd with hiy argument. TROP. PATTON, ‘ in a voice rondered indistinet by hoarsencss, said that in order Lo cconomize Lime ho had propared his remariis upon tao subjzct. Thoy wore ready in priuted forw, and, s his voico was not gaod, ho would aek his friond, the Rov. Mr. McLeod, to rend tho dooumont, Hu would 1)ruh=biy on- deavor to rend o portion of it himgelf. Mr, McLead then proceeded to read the very Inbored argument of Prof. U'nttoa. whicks run to s wost fatiguiog oxtont. Lho Professor, hiweolf, supplemonted tho dooumont by n spoeoh in which he reitorated tho srguments advanced in tho article read, and hammered them home in a vory enorgetio manner. Ho lLad not cancluded his romarks whou tho hour for reccos came, and further businces was suspended until T:80 o'clock. EVENING SESSION. Prof. Patton rosumed his speech, and sald, as o startiug point, that, if the 8ynod did not recog- nizo tho preaching of David Swing as heresy, thore was no uso in malntainiog thoological seniinaries throughout the count:y, and the disoi- pliuo of the Chureh would bocomo a moroe farce, Prof, Patton wont on to substantinie what ho bad already advanced relative to the doulal by Prof. Swing of tho cardinal points of Prosby- {erinu faith, Ho donled, among other things, tho existence of the Trinity. A brothor—Mr, Moderntor, I call the man to order, Prof. Swing has doclared hef in tho Lrimity in so mauy words. ‘I'he Moderator—Prof, Yatton is concludiag bis arguaont, and wust not be interrupted. Any statement mado by bim will be upon his own responaibility. . Prof, Patton thon wonnd up his argument, fizet making n strong appealto tho Synod to pro- sorvo tho faith and prevent tho disintegration of the Church. ‘Tho Modorator called upon tho Rov.
