Among the thirty cler- gyvmen of this Dioceso arraved agntnst Dr. De Jioven's nomination for the Bishopric.—of whom a fow were aceidentally absont from tho Conven- tion,—not more than half-a-dozew, Eer!mps, cld acknowledzo thomsolves to be Low burchmien, Tt is not nacossary to mention tiamev, a1 stata o simplo and well-known fact. Tt would be just a8 reskonahlo and proper to call the ares: body of our Iate Generul Canvention m New York, ‘who rejected Dr. Soymour, and on- s.cted the eanon on Ritualism, * Low Church- rien,"” as thoeo who bore in [llinois_oppose Dr. 1'e Koven for bis Ilitnalisuo and Bomanizing toudongics, aud now ssk his rejection on the eame erounds that exeloded I'rof. Seymour from the Lpiscopate, snd enssted the” canon on Jiitunl, a1t not ovident to any reflecting mind 1ha Dr. Do Koven is aceepied snd placed in tho Epiecopate by our Church authorities, and especially our Bishops, that not only is the canon on Ritunl so wuck wastopaper, {ml Prof. Heymour has beou treated with the grossest ine jnitico? Dr. Do Koven evidently takes thin view of tho cawe when ho claims, as ba did ju his peech at Racine Saturday last, that hiw eleetion —myown election, noxt to Lis™ (Prof, Say- wour's) 1, petlinpn, the best confinution and vindicaticn of Lim." Thoss are Dr. De Koven's excct words, Of courss, Dr. De Koven ean hers refar to mothing but doctrinal viows of P'rof, Heymour ns Leiug thus vindicated ; objections tu'I'rof, Boy- yaour's temper, imprudence, or other persomal «ualitice, could not be affected by Dr. Do ‘Hoven's olection. Htill further, I'rof, Soymour douying threush his friend, Dr. Falton, of Mo- dile, as o vory distinctly did in the Ceuoral Couvention, that L at ail sympathized with Dr. Do Koven in Lis adoption ot the Lisnnett formula on Eucharistic Adoration, the case is urgloubt- edly much stronger sgainst Dr, Da Koven tban against Prof. Beymonr, If Prof. Seymour was rojected on Euspicion of entertaimng such views, how is it pussible to confirm the acknowl- odged leader fn them?

And he pives su llustration thus: **The pres- ent writer saw in Mississinpi, some yearabofore tuo War, an old gentleman who had, ho yas in- formed, killed thirteon men, many of thot in cold blood, with impunity. Asking how it was ho had escaped, be learnt” that there never had Dbeen a conyiotion for murder in that county, un- 1ass it had hoen acoompanied with robbery ; aud, a few daya afterwards, ho heard a respectable plantor gay, before a largo company, in porfect poriousnesa, and without any sign of disappro- Lation from the bystandors, that, if he wero apoken of in m oortain wayina stump speach, *ho would lie In wait for him (the speaker) and kilt bim ;? or, tn other words, would conumit what men in other civilived countries consider tho foulest of erimes,” 3 Theso statements set in 8 etrong light the dif- ficultics which are constantly met with in the ad- ministration of law undor the new atata of things ot the Bouth. Tha babite of violonco bred by Slavery ara not to bo done away with by the enactment of Inws apainat them. These habits will bo very slowin dying out.

Verily, words do fail, aud ooly deeds of blaod can su- swer! But this business of carpet-bageing Southern honote away from i.s First Fuoilies l8 by no meana of receot date. In the earlv part of tho Jast century, & set of Covonsolers earpot-bagged from Scotland to the Carolinas, brought thelr chronio bnatrod of Englaud with them, and manifested it by getting up & Couvention and issuing a Declaration of Amer- ican Independence, ono year in advance of that written by Thomas Joflerson, and wero aftor- wards driven out of theso Biates by means simi- 1ar to those recontly used for driving Mr. Oglesby out of New Orleans. They were only American in sympathy, snd never reached tho Bouthern ptandard of theoretically or practioally buving #nd selling men, womon, and children, like eat- tle. in open market ; ro they were oatracised, nnd then emigrated to the Northorn Btates, be- came driven-ont carpat-h «irers from the sacred Bouthern roil.

Last eummor I mot more than » dozen men who had carpet-bagged iuto Illinois, and grown rich thore, hold Jande, aod ofiices, and stocks, and ‘wont about in broad daylizht, just as if they had & right to be there, Why did not the people of Tllinois drive these feliows out with fira and sword, or_savers lotting slone?
