There was a balance in the treasury now of only $2.75 The Rev. Dr. Thos. H Stockton delivered the diseurse. The text selected was a part of the3Sthy Psalm. Ged bas nified the Bibleabove all the sytn- dols of reyes tan a ares 5 at the universe. ‘The Bible is the only sensible, infallible and Di- vine authority en earth. This is the only author- ity combining these three distinctions. Inancient times there were certain authorities which cor ned these three distinctions of the Bible; these ancient anthorities had been withdrawn from the world, so the Bible is s ill left in sole and visible supremac: Those ancient author- ites were clect men- ject angels—and the Messiah —the Christ—the one teburch between God and man. Now, I design to indulge in various contem plations of this remarkalbe current edition. The past, indeed, must receive an occasional glance, but the chief views will relate to the present; and oh! may the spirit of truth lead us inte alltruth. But when sarveying this whole field of the Divine administratiopyand observing the personal retirement of the elect agents from the circle of sensible, infallible and Divine au- thority, leaving it all still and lonely, apparently without any sefficient guide, such questions as the following, it seems, would be. Srgeied : What now? Is there no sensible, infallible and Divine authority om earth? Shall God permit the two great natural systems to be impaired and obscured, creation become almost unintelligible, exhibit any expression of his power and sover- eignty and providence to embarrass us by the innumerable instances of its results with our in- structive anticipations, and yet do nothing to remedy these defects or to supply the wants ¥ oceasion? Shall be allow the two great socia systems poe a on to ben — incompetent w oper discharge of! ir high functions , Shall man be saffered to adopt false principles, embody ~~ in as radisg, yoo Oppressive measu! and impose them by cucentrated encrgice of bis fecultice upen nations and all generations, and nothing be done to arrest the evil? Shall the church be suffered to adopt similar principles, embody them in sim- ilar measures, and embrace them by similar powers and with similar results, only modified Into agreement with subtlier prejudices and infinitely prouder pretensions, and no check be imposed either for the safety of bhuman- ity, er the credit of divinity? “And, more- over, shali even the occasi: reliefs of the olden times, when the earth was nota hundredth part explored, and our race was not a hundredth part expanded, and all the interest of the separate families and tribes were so divided,—secluded— now be withdrawn from us? Every inspired man, and every visible angel be withdrawn, and even our most constant and unequaled friend, the adorable Mediator Himself be withdrawn, and the m: of mankind in their mere knowledge; and elevated and thoughtful, solemn, and even intensely anxtous modern conditions, be aban- doned to the errors, and follies, crimes and cruel- tles selfish and wilfully hypocritical tyrants? In a word, shall the Highest look down upon such a scene as this, and stili consent that source of true authority shail remain as a sealed fountain among inaccessible rocks? The answer to all such questions would be, No! No! od is not thus careless of his intelligent creaturcs. He saw the end from the beginning. He knew all the exigen-ies of human ress, and made due } rog Visions to meet them here is a sensible, in- fallible, and Divine authority on earth. There is one but only one. There is only one, but that one is enough, and ere it is—the Bible. Ob, look at it, and wonder at it. If it did not itself secure me from superstition, I should superst!- tiously regard it. As itis, ‘the Bible to me, in the bands of a child, is 2 greater marvel than the san in mid Hea: it, indeed symbol, but this is more glorious. ‘God bas magnified this above all His nature.

Much more than this must be said. {t bas a comprehensiveness and completeness for transcending such an announcement. The truth t times and distant places; but that they are now all withdrawn. Let me correct this error; or rather let me more exactly distinguish the truth. Bebold them here; all here.

No longer need ¥ disputes be beid In regard to the nature, per or oltice of Christ. Aye, take away the Bible, and what is left? What is man left, and the earth, and the beaven, and the universe. Are they i left? Aha! be itso. But what kind of man is left? Man without a Maker, without a Savior, and without a soul Dr. Stockton spoke in his usual eloquent style, and held his audience in rapt attention during tne whole of the address. nm motion of Mr. ithson, a committee con- ng of Messrs.

Just as be got within sight of the hackman, the hack- man got on his box to drive otf. He followed the back, and thedriver watched him. Coming in sight of a policeman, after driving some distance tbe hackman hastened his horses. and ging the policeman, ordered the arrest of hi pursuer.

This school inder the management of Miss Clarke, who has been for several years a teacher, and who certainly deserves much credit for her faithful discharge of duty as evidenced during the exami- nation, and in the deportment of the children committed to ber charge, The examination was conducted by Mr. Brandt, formeriy of the Board of Trustees. assisted by Mr. McNerhany, of the Board of Aldermen, who kindly volunteered to fill the place of the regular examiner, (Mr. McKnew,) who was unavoidably absent trom sickness. Mr. Lemuel Gaddis was also Present, and assisted in the examination.- The exercises consisted of reading, spelling, writing from dic- tation, geography. ryand arithmetic; in all af which the scholars showed much Pproticiency, according to their respective ages and the time in which they bad been under the charge of Mrs. C. Some of the children were quite young, and just beginning tolearu the first elements; but even they in general showed remarkable aptitude The examiners were particularly gratified with the singing of the children, and are of opinion that it would be highly beneficial to introduce vocal music, at least, as a permanent part of the School exercises—in fact, a part of the system: for the songs of our childhood, and the lessons they inculcate, are never forgotten in after years, but in the retrospect of life appear as bright spots in the waste of memory. Upon the conclusion of the examination, the children were earnestly ad- Gressed by Mr Brandt and Mr. McNerhany, both of whom urged upon them the necessity of’ their availing themselves of the benefits afforded by the ublic schools—remerking that now was the time for them to learn all that could be taught them, in order that they might become good citizens, and qualified in every eureers to fill the highest spheres of American citizenship. The examination of Primary No. 2, second department, Third District, Miss Moore teacher, took place on the lith inst., and was conducted by George A.

President Cushing, at the close of the prayer, arose and congratulated the Democratic party of the United States on the re-assembling of the Na- tional Convention. He would also take the oc casion to state the exact state of affairs at the time the Convention adjourned at Charleston. Prior to that adjournment the Convention wes engaged in the discussion of but two subdjects—one, the adoption of a platform of princtples, and the oth- er the balloting for a candidate forthe Presidency The Couvention adopted a resolution to receive the report of the minority, or, at least a portion of it, instead of that of the majority. When this Subject came up, the first, third, fourth and fifth resolutions of the miuority were adopted, and the second rejected. After this there was 2 mo- tion made to reconsider the vote on each resolu- tion, and lay on the table, but the vote was never taken Thercfore the business properly before the Conyention were those motions to réconusider the votes on the adoption of the several sections of the minority platform, and the motion to lay these motions for reco: eration on the table Balloting intervened at Charleston, and thes: Motions were never acted on. Then there was 2 snotion made by Mr. McCook of Obio,and adopted that the Chair should declare no one the nominee who did not receive a two-thirds vote. Thus the Chair wes instructed by tee Convention, and did not act of his own accord, as has been stat-d in va- tious quarters since the adjournmentat Charleston Mr. Cusbing then went on to detail the proceed- ings at Charleston up to the time the Convention adjourned to Baltimore, and said, in reference to so mucu of that resolution of adjour:ment as invited tue States then wholly or partially unrep- resented to fill up their respective deleyations, that be would net pretend to off*r to the various delegations having vacancies to fill any construc- tion of the resolution, but leave it entirely to the gentlemen composing the delegations, who were interested in the matter. He then referred to the seceding 3 , and explained to the gentlemen of the Convention his reasons for the action taken by him at Charleston in relation to the secession- but he would again take occasion to say thet the Chair, after 2 minute and deliberate exainina- tion of the powers with which he was vested, had found that it was not in his power to offer any order, as Chairman of the Convention, in relation te the question of right on th part, but would leave it entirely to the decision of the tion, and would at the proper time brin whole subject before it. t. C. concluded by re- ferring, ina fervid and eloquent manner, to the interest felt in the proceedings of the Convention throughout the whole country, and the responsi- bility resting pes each member of the body to throw aside all feelings of personal ambition, interest, and acrimony, and he appealed to them to act in behalf of the whole democratic party. The President then declared the Convention to be prepared to proceed to business Mr. Howard, of Tenn_, then offered the follow- esolution ived, That the President of this Conven- tlon anthorize the Sergeant-at-A to issue at present tickets of admiss' to the National in, as they were original- , Of Minn, moved that the res- on the table, and cailed for the previous question and a vot States. Mr. Russell, of Va., asked the President by what right he assumed to decide that the dele- gates from s nd these from Virginia were entitled to nd if all those who were harleston Couvention were entitled to the same—by what rity he diecriminated between those who 8 ed and those who remained ? The President responded that be did not at- tempt to decide anything, but if geatlemen ap- peared here who had surrendered up their tickets the Cor ition must decide upon their right to return; he did not conceive himself as clothed with power to decide any point in dispute us be- tween the claimants to sea's. He would be grati- fied if the first question presented should be, that the Convention should instruct the Chair what course to pursue in reference to the admission of delegates other than those who stood by the Con- vention at Charleston Mr. Church, of N. Y., asked the gentleman from Minnesota to withdraw his motion, that be might offer a motion which he thought would prove acceptable. Mr. Cavanaugh thought Mr. Charch could offer his motion without a withdrawel. The Chair rujed that he could not. Unanimous leave was then — for the read- ing of the resolution of Mr. Church, which was read, #s follows: Resolved, That the credentials of all the dele- tious made vacant by the withdrawal from the Vouvention at Charleston be referred to the com- mittee on credentials, and that the committee make examination a t ae mh oy a speedily as ible, e understandidg that the dclogetes sdenithod abide by the action of the Convention and support its nominees. At the conclusion of the reading of the substi- tute loud applause followed, principally from the alleries, which was promptly checked by the Eresident. He remarked Wich proceed . could not be tolerated, and be like Convention to say once for all whether it was de- sirable that the President should sit in his chair and hear such indecent ebulitionsof feeling. He could not permit such conduct unless ordered to do so. Almost the first ings this morning was a loud cheer from the galleries, and these tu- multuous outbursts must be Mr. Atkins, of Tena., remar! that those in the galleries were bere upon complimentary tickets, and gevtlemen upon the floor were also here with tickets, but if gentlemen upon the started the oe the right to follow suit. the Chair would use the fe se to him, aud thus prevent floor from apple: and ra! would choke them ail to death in Mr. Richardson, of Ll , followed in the same strein, wi ig, Sg, of the applause being mos ry, of Del., rose to a uestion, and to appeal to the Con ae , Oovali a to point of elaim- Mr. Tose to a point 5 ing that he colle not make a poli ‘epeech as a question of opis eek Saas nm toallthe delegates | , Of Pa , stated that the resoln- Serviced net be ivides Stile she anit Gar the uest: ‘woe pending; which at Bie Chatr Sustained bite " Mr. John Cochrane, of N. ; When the Chair uoless he had a point of not proceed to discuss the several Mr. Chureh had the floor.
