At the outset he remarked that the design —— fs to illustrate by a very familiar rise, nurture and growth of christianity within the bumen heart He said that the kingdom of heaven in the text signified the reign of ven’s Principles in the beart. He then proved conclu- Sively, by the strictest argument, and by vatious illustrations, tbat christianity is caused to arise in the heart by influences brought to bear thereupon from God, and by the impartation of someth ing which we bave not by nature, and that it is not a mere offspring of our nature. Secondly, he spoke of the nurture of the kingdom of God within our bearts as being similar to that of the seed when deposited in the bosom of the earth. As the earth cannot bring forth the fruit of itself, independent of Nght and heat, dew and rain, so the heart must be receptive of the divine influences which are made to operate thereon in order that the good seed implanted therein may be made to germinate and bring forth fruit. The mode of this nurture remains undefined both in theology and meta- hysi: therefore the text reads +‘ We know not i He then spoke of the growth of christi- enmity in the heart, illustrating by the order of vegetation first the biade, then the ear, and Sfter- wards the full corn in the ear. As there would be no ear without the blade, and no cern without the ear, so there would be no faith without re- pentance, and no forgiveness without faith, no adoption without iveness. Finally, wi christianity bas bronght forth its designed fruit, then the busbandman cometh and hb in the Sickle for the harvest, and gathers his children as ripe shocks of corn into the garners of the Lord.

They regreted the necessity of separating from the Convention and should not participate in the proceedings of the seceding Convention. Mr. Clark, of Mo., said be was requested to an- nounce that two of the Missouri delegation would withdraw from the Convention. Mr. Hill, of N.C., said that a jon of his delegation had withdrawn on Friday evening He remained then, but was now forced to ta | and lot with the remainder of his frien rom his own State. Mr. Jones, of ‘T. ; said that nineteen of the regular delegates from Tennessee remained in the Convention, and only thirteen had retired.

The oo. of a majority of the States of this Union have, either in whole or in part, in one form or another, ceased to iel- yaad in the deliberations of this body. At no me would any consideration of candidates have affected my judgment as to my duty. And I came here prepared, regardless of ail genicael preferences, cordially to support the nominstions of this Convention, whosoever they might be But under the present circumstances I deem it a duty of self-respect, and I deem it still more a duty to this Convention as at present organized— isay I deem {t my —— both relations, while ering my most grateful acknowledgments to gentlemen of all sides, and especially to those gentlemen who may have differed with me in opinion in any respect, while tendering my most ratefal acknowledgments to all gentlemen for e candid and honorable support which they have given to the Chair, even when te?

And I deem this above all a duty | owe to the members of the Convention as to whom my action would no longer represent the will of the majority of the Convention Mr. Cushing here left the chair. and took his place with the Massachusetts delegation, amid the continued applause from a portion of the Con- vention Gov. Todd, of Ohio, then took the chair Barrmor. one of the vice presidents, He said that it was with feelings of ES emotion that he assumed the duties now devolved upon him; but when be in- formed gentlemen of the Convention that for thirty-one years he had stood by the democracy with the democratic banner in his hand, he knew that he would receive the respect and obtain the good wishes of the Convention, while he should endeavor faithfully to discharge the duties of the chair. If there were no other rivileged motion intervening, the secretary would now proceed to ere the order of the Convention and call the fates. Mr. Butler, of Mass., obtained the floor, and demanded to be heard while stating the reasons of bis withdrawal. Objections were made, and the Convention refused to bear him. $ A motion was then carried that the Convention — to vote vita voce for a candidate for resident of the United States, and the Conven- tian proceeded to vote accordingly. Mr. Butler, when Massachusetts was called, rose and said: ‘‘Mr. President, | have the instruc. tion of the majority of the delegation from Massa- chnsetts to present a written protest I will send itto the Chair to have it read.
