At first, gentlemen seemed willing to advert to the source trom wheuce these supposed errors had their origin, but since we have been told to trace their origin in the Oxford Tracts, and then the gentlemen trom Va. followed with speculations. He had never, n ‘ogle individual who he one of them, on the contrary every article seemed to be a direct perversion of the doctrines supported by the tracts. He did not profess himself an advo- cate of those tract:—as far as they threw an! light on the formularies of the church, he fe! ful to their authors, but so far as they went beyond them, he threw them off, and they could have no authority with him. So great was the perversion of the true doctrines of these writings, that he was, with deferenceginclined to believe that the gentle- man from Virg\sia had never read them, but that his knowledge of them was confined to an article which appeared some two or “Recorder,” an English radical journal, which he had read, and which contained somethi 1 It really seemed if this had accidentally fallen in he had used its perversions without original tracts.— Other specifications of error came from the Rev. gentleman trom Ohio, (Dr. Brooke.) He had in- nced the error of Tradition, Now he confessed he knew and recognized it no!, as it had b averred, as a co-ordinate rule of faith, and yet he had to acknowledge that he came trom what was called and considered ‘‘the infected district,” on this subject—he recognized the Bible alone as the tule of faith. Not that we should reject tradition ; and to show its value he would illustrate his po- sition by assuming a parallel case. Suppose, some e ence, the doctrines of the Episcopal Church should be called in question— would have our Book of Common. Prayer still in existence, but yet o; n points of doctrine might be deduced from it. Now, if they could obtain, in addition tothe Prayer Book, the Sermons of the present day, and after perusing them should find that, while our ecclesiastics disa- gree on many minor points, the: eneral questions, would not ¢ t om past standards say that those points of general agreement must have been the doctrines of the Episcopal Church in 18442 Most assuredly, and as they would receive benefit from what would be tradition then, we find the use of tradition now. The gentleman trom Onio ha: also reterred to ion by Faith, but had con- es of the Romieh Church. If he eould not see the diflerence, others could. Bat, for the sake of argument, he was willing to admit that serious difficulties existed in the Church; let us then come to the question of the proposed remedy. All the resolutions before us agree in one particular, which is that the whole subject should be sent up to the House of Bishops for their godly counsel and opinion necessarily could come to us only in two ways, either by a pastoral letter, or by an express declaration of opinion on the construction of cer- tain religious articles. The fii 2 wal in reference to this very subject of Justification by Faith, at the last General Convention, and the pastoral letter met with general commendation, and was universally acquiesced in because it did not fo into any very minute details. It was like putting Sr. Paul and St. James into the same epistle. House of Bishops, if again called upon would be necessitated, by the very neture of the question, to send us their answer again in the same way. But he would ask, is it desired that our “ articles” of religion should be altered? Is it required that the House of Bishops should give a new definition on any of the subjects mentioned? it is supposed t ¢ all protess to be contented with those articles, so tar as they go. | 1s ag expansion of such artick iving more full an 1 to the exigencies of the This is precisely the doctrine of developement— the Remish doctrine of developement.

He affirmed that if the House of Bishops should give the desired opinion, it would be unless it amounted pre- _ in our posses- The churches of Antioch, Jerusalem and Rome, we are told, have erred; we are then to infer that the Protes of the United States of America may err, and set up a standard different trom its creed ; and it it may err, it certainly never was more liuble to do £0 than now. When there is a conflict of opinion throughout the entire chrigian world, a shaking, as it were, of the foundations—a re-ex. mination of first principles—is it atime to disturb the arti- cles of opr church? Are we, in the midst ofgreat prevailing excitement, to ask our House of Bishops to express minutely their opinions on the most dit- ficult matters the world was ever distracted with— now, too, when the clamor is loud from without and within the pale of the church? Jt 18 obvious, at such a time, our judgments were never more likely to err. And now suppose the opinion that the House of Bishops should give was erroneous, and should militate against the doctrines of the Nicene Creed—what would be its fate?

Section 3. In case a Bishop should desire to re- sign at any period not within s1x months before the meeting of a General Convention, he shall make known to the presiding Bishop such his desire, with the reasons moving them thereto, whereupon the Residing Rishon shall communicate without delay @ copy of the same to every Bishop of this Church, and at the same time summon said Bishops to meet him in person, at a place to be by him designated, most convenient to all, and at a time not Jess than three months jfrom the date ot his summons; and should a number, not less than three-fourths ef all the Bishops of this Church, meet at the time and place derignated, they shall then have all the powers given by the previous sections of this Canon to the House of Bishops; and should a number less than three-fourths assemble, they shall have power to adjourn from time to time until er can secure the attendance of three-tourths of all the Bishops of this Church. Should a proposed re- signation of a Bishop be accepted at any meeting Bishops tor that purpose held duringa recess, ll be the duty of the presiding Bishop to pronounce such resignation complete, and to com- municate the same to the ecclesiastical authorily of each diocese, who shall cause the same to be read tothe several congregations therein. And it shall be the further duty ot the presiding Bishop to cause such resignation to be formally recorded on dhe journals of the House of Bishops that may meet. in General Convention next thereafter.

Canon XXXII. of 1832, 18 hereby re- pealed. ‘The committee on expenses made report that the estimated expenses of convention were $1200, and as there was Likely to be a deficiency in the tnnde, proposed the adoption of a new canon increasing the diocesan quota from 75 cents to one dollar tor each clergyman. Reterred to committee on canons Rev. Mr. Gagenuear offered a resolution, that at noon to-morrow, the Convention proceeded to the election of a Treasurer, which was agreed to Hon. J. McPuerson Berrien called up the con- sideration of the resolutions under discussion, and for the purpose of putting a limit to the debate, he wished toofiera resolution. The subject had been elaborately debeted, and doubtless the minds of most members were made up before coming here, e believed further debate could not alter any opinion. There were also other import- ant subj+cts for the consiceration of the conven- tion, and an undue proportion of the time of the House was given to the present resolution, which he thought was injurious to the cause we were al anxiousto promote. -The foilowing was the resolu tion, that at 12 0’clock to-day the Heuse should proceed to & vofe by yeas and nays on the resolu- tion and amendment, without fur.her debate. Judge Cuamnens had wished to anticipate the gentleman for the purpose of moving a postpone- ment of the subject te allow the House to take up other business. He was in favor, after what had been done,not to limitdebate. It apy mischief could be experienced from the debate, it had already been done, and he therefore hoped the debate would be continued as long as any gentleman hes a word to say. It the church isin dunger, let us pore the height, depth, length and breadth of ii. ut little diff-rence of opinion would be found, when all opinions have been compared. He, therefore, moved to portpone the sunject to take up the documents in relation to the consecration of Dr. Hawke, Bishop elect of Mies. Mr. Memninour was for having a vote on the resolution of Mr. Berrien to test the sense of the house. 2 Mr. Coxzins of N. C., thought there was indis- cretion in introducing the resolution at first, but the debate convinced him to the contrary, and he was now for allowing the most extensive latitude to it. He, therefore, hoped no resolution would pass having the effect of the sprevicns question.” Mr. Macraxtanp although he believed in the expediency of the resolution, and hoped if a com- plaint from any quarter was made that the house degired to stifle debate, the gentleman from Georgia would withdraw it. Dr. Brooxe believed that the more full and ex- tended the debate, the more salutary the effect, he, therefore, moved to lay the resolution and amend- the table. fter some debate on the point of order as expediency, the motion to lie on the table was adopted. The Rev. Mr. Moore of N. H., then moved to postpone the resolution for the parose of taking up the subject connected with the consecrution of the Rev. Dr. Hawks. _ : Alter some conversation, as to this subject, Mr. Macfarland of Va. stated that Dr. Hawke, who had but this morning received a copy of charges against him, was now absent from the house and would be prepared to-morrow with a full refutation of ali the charges. i h Rev. Mr. Boyp of Miss., argued that this house as a body, knew nothing of any charges against Dr. Hawke. If the usual resolution to proceed to the signing of his credentials should be made, and then, if any members ot this convention had charges affecting his character, would be the time for pre- 1g them. Until such course was taken he de- pre 'd any allusion to the existence of charges against him of any nature. Rev. Mr. Moons, at request, withdrew his mo- tion. Rev. Dr. Urroip then moved to postpone the consideration of the resolution to proceed to the consideration of the canon an ‘Episcopal Resigna- tion,” but withdrew it again, and the resolution of Dr. Hawks came up in order. The Rev. Dr. Mason, of N. C,, first referred to the course which things had taken in this debate— to the various resolutions and amendments, to the concocted speech ot Dr. Empie, ot Va, which, ‘The Hon.
