NEW YORK HERALD «tay, January 5, 1845. The Late Ecclesiastical Investigation, The excitement produced by the conviction of Bishop Onderdonk, is very rapidly increasing throughout the diocese. The impression that the trial was got up altogether in consequence of the Bishop’s decided course in the Convention in op- position to the small cligue in this city, desirous of obtaming the management of the Trinity church funds, is spreading more and more widely every day. It appears that the clergy of the diocese are almost unanimous in the determination to sustain him at all hazards. In the community ingeneral a great degree of anxiety exists relative tothe pub- lication of the proceedings and argumenisin the trial. In this it is likely that the public desire will soon be gratified. A gentleman connected with this office was employed by the Court to take notes of the speeches of the counsel en both sides, and he | is now engaged in preparing his report, under the direction of the clerk, Bisop Whittingham. The argument is very elaborate, and was sustained | with great ability. The following is a copy of the official record of the sentence :— Orviciat Sentence in THE Case OF Bishor Oxpervonx. ' The Court of Bishops of the Pro‘estant Episcopal Church, convened under the authority of Cauon Ill of 18i40f the General Convention of said Church, for the + trial_of the presentment of the Right Reverend | Bunjimin Tredwell Onderdonk, Bishop of the Diocese of New York, by the Kight Reverend William , Meade, Bishop ot the diocese of Virginia, the Right Rev- erend James Hervey Otey, Bishop of the diocese of Ten- nessee, andthe Right Reverend Stephen Elliott, Junior, Bishop of the diocese jeorgia, upon certain charges and specifivations in presentment set forth; having fully heard the allegations and testimonies of the parties, and deliberately considered the same, and a majority of the said court having declared that in their opinion the accused is guilty ot certainof the charges and specifica- tions containe? in the presentment; whieh decloration of @ majority of the court has been reduced to writing, end signed by those who assented thereto, and has been pro- nouncea in the presence of the parties; and the court hav- ing proceeded, after hearing the accused, to pass sen- tence upon the accused in conformity with the provi- sions of said canon, and having determined that the pen. alty tobe attixed and pronounced in said case shall that of suspension. It is hereby ordered and declared that the sentence of thie Court upon the respondent, is suspension from the office of a Bishop in the Chureh of God, and trom allthe functions of the sacred ministry ; and this Court do a from.all exercise of his E pal and ministerial func- tone; and do order that notice of this sentence, re- wuired by said canon, be cemmunicated by the presiding jishop, under his hand and seal. to the ecclesiastical au- thority of every diocese of this Church. (Skat) Given under my hand and seal this the 3d day of January. A D. 1845. PHILANDER CHASE. Senior Bishop, and President of the Court. ‘There is cexiainly a great deal to be said in favor of the supposition that this prosecution was got up for ulterior purposes. Lt is quite apparent that a prodigious effort has been made to influence the opinions of the Bishops and clergy of distant dio- ceses. The members of the Court who voted in the minority are those who have been most inti- mately acquainted with the life and character of Bishop Onderdonk, and certainly they are not the least influential, or the least pure and high-minded of the heads of the Episcopal Church. ‘This speaks well for the innocence of the Bishop of the immorality and impurity alleged against him. On the other hand, the Bishops who condemned him were known to have been operated on as ex- tensively as possible. The Courier and Enquirer, in a recent article on the subject, made a rather singular avowal, which correborates the view just taken of the matter. The paragraph to which we allude is the following: — “We know that clergymen of this eity have openly denounced him (the B shop) for years in succession, but declared that he was beyond their reach. Laymen of this diocese did the same; but no man dered hezard his pori- tion by preferring charges. At length, however, when the ordination of Mr. Carey, the weekiy libels of the Churchman, and the putting down of Mr. Duer inthe | Convention, roused in the Church a spirit of resistance, | those who had long lamented over these charges of im- | morality. mate against their Diocesan by the very Priests | ‘who had become his warmest supporters, arrived at the | conclusien that the moment was auspicions for an inves- tigation into tbe truth or falsehood of these charges.” Thisis, we believe, the truth of the matter, al- though told in the peculiar and characteristic way of the Cowrier—that 1a, mingled with a reasona- ble-aliowance of fable. The whole business, indeed, recalls very forci- bly to our mind the historical details of the quar- rels and feuds in the ancient Eastern churches, when the whole civilized world was distracted by the controversy between the Arians and the Catho- lies, and when the dispute about the Greek particle | convulsed the whole church fornearly a century. During that period Bishops were frocked and un- frecked with marvellous celerity. Council after council met only to decide against each other, and Bishops were deposed by one council, only to be restored by the succeeding. Athanasius, the patri- arch of Alexandria, was banished thrice at the iv, stigation of the Arians, and suffered great persecu- tions. In the'midst of his wanderingsthe'was secreted foraix years by a young maiden in her owachamber. And thus it has ever been in the church. A con- stant struggle for place and power has been going on amongst the leaders—men too lazy, too cows ardly, or too stupid to seek, on the field of battle or in the councils of the State, renown and power, have entered the church, and in the hierarchy have sought by the acts of low intrigue, and envy and jealousy, to gain the objects of their ambition. The investigation which has just terminated cer- tainly reflects little credit on its authors, and must do much to injure the interests of true reli- gion. The secret and inquisitorial mode of pro- cedure was one which necessarily tended greatly to the disadvantage of the accused. But now that the veil of secrecy isto be withdrawn, and the whole record to be given to the world, an opportunity will be afforded of subjecting the entire affair to that great supreme tribunal—public opinion—which, after all, is just in ite decisions, and can forever set at naught the judgment of all courts and coun- cils, whether of consecrated Bishops, however holy, or venerable judges, however learned in the law. Texas.—Her Posrrion ann Destiny.—The ques- tion of. annexation seems to be treated very{coolly in the “lone star’ republic itself. President Jones, in his inaugural address,has not the slightest allusion to the subject, and 8 every possible ground for the belief that he is in favor of a com- mercial connexion with Great Britain, and per- manent independence as a nation. The anti- annexation party is indeed now very strong in ‘Texas, embracing a large portion of the most inflaential men.’ This state of public opinion there has been produced in a great measure by the manner in which the measure has been treated in thiscountry. Texas is certainly destined at one | society. sympathizers,” inthis city, are making prodi- | gious eflorts to fan the excitement which has been | created amongst certain classes in this city, on the | subject of the insurrection in Renssellaer and the | adjomming counties. The organ of the party, of | yesterday, is full of the most violent and inflam- | matory declamation egainst the laws—landlords— | the authorities—the rich—the military—and every | thing but the anti-renters, and its @wn agrarian | and iasurrectionary principles. 1t denounces with | loud anathema the measures taken to vindicate the laws—expresses great delight at hearing that the Ex-Governor was quite a warm friend of the anti-renters—calls upon “ the poor” to form them- selves into mititary companies with ‘ blue” coats —describes in the most exulting terms the outrages of the *Indians”—declaims about the terrible suf- ferings and martyrdom of Dorr and Mike Walsh— and appears to desire an immediate opening of the doors ot all our prisons, and a general division of property, and community of goods, Such is the character of the organ of the anti-rent men in this city. It certainly gives clear and painful evi- dence of the existence of a very diseased state of opinion amongst certain classes of the community —classes not very influential or numerous, indeed, but still quite capable of doing some mischief in There cannot be any doubt that this morbid state of feeling and sentiment, owe their origin ina con- siderable degree to the publications, lectures, and operations of that social reform philosophy which is known under the name of Fourierism, which Horace Greeley and his confreres in the Tribune have been promulgating for some years past.. The natural tendency of the declamations and reason- ings of these philosophers has been to impress the idea that society is at present in a state of horrible confusion—that every thing is wrong and illegal— that the poverty and sufferings of certain classes, —no matter how in reality produced, whether by vice,lor crime, or sloth—are the result of the present organization of society and the oppressions of “the rich.” The vicious and idle have thus been led to regard themselves as the victims of an accursed social system, and save quietly settled down into the conviction that their misery has been produced by a conspiracy of the industrious and upright citi- zens. Hence the loud clamors raised by these misguided and lazy men against all the fundamental principles of law and order which preserve society from disorganization. Hence their outcries against the landlords, and the rich, and the laws. Again, this spirit of insurrection and rebellion has been encouraged and fed by the mock-philan- thropy of those who seek to elevate offenders against the laws into heroes. The direct tendency ot the efforts of these egotistical and hypocritical so called philanthropists, who go about forming “State Prison Associations,” and ‘ Philo-Burglar Societies,” isto lessen the shame and infamy of crime—to weaken popular reapect for the majesty and righteousness of the law—and to shake the very foundations of society. Here we have these good Samaritans, who always take especial care tosound their trumpet before them, affecting to take to their bosoms the pick-pockets, thievee, burglars, forgers, and abandoned wretches who are suffering the just penalty of their crimes, whilst they shut their ears against the piteous arpeals of the thousands who, in eur large cities, in hunger, and thirst, and nakedness, are beset by innume- rable temptations. Their berevolence is indeed akin to that of the sentimental Sterne, who wept over the carcase of a dead ase, but had no tear for a starving mother ! Such are amongst the causes that have produced, in certain quarters, this morbid feeling and these pernicious principles. The duty of the’'good citizen is obvious. He is called on to denounce every mapi-* festation of this insurrectionary spirit. The au- thorities are {bound to suppress, in the most de- termined andjsummary manner, the rebellious manifestations, which have appeared in this State; and the attempts of the misguided men in this city, who are endeavoring to fan the flame “ind en- courage opposition to the laws, must be also sub- dued. Let both political parties now endeavor to atone for former culpable truckling and intriguing with this mob-spirit, by that course of action which the emergency demands. Can it be possible, that public opinion in this city, will any longer remain silent on a matter of such urgent importance % DestituTIon IN THE Metroro.is.—We hear a good deal in some quarters about the oppressions of the anti-renters in the interior of the State—the low price of cotton and embarsassment of the Southern planters—the great fall in the price of pork, and the sufferings of the farmers—and occa- sionally about the depressed state of mat tures. These things are pictured by the politicians in flaming colors, but here few even think of the des titution and heart-rending condition of the poor in the large cities, as for instance in this metropolis! In the lanes and by-streets of this crowded city there are hundreds and hundreds of poor wretches, suffering all the pangs of the extremest poverty, with- out a morsel of food, and scarcely a rag to (cover their nakedness. From the poor widow and the or- phan--the homeless outcast--the sick and dying--the ery of distress is every hour ascending from mise- rable cellars, and yet how little do we hear said about it!” The politicians declaim about the poor farmers and the oppressed tenants in;Renssellaer county, and the distressed planters, and cry out against the policy of the whigs and democrats, as the case may be. Others again get up flaming notices for public meetings, and make prodigious speeches about the convicts in Sing Sing, and declaim about the ne~ cessity of turning public attention and sympathy to the malefactors who are sent there to expiate their crimes. How vain and ridi- culous, and utterly empty all this, when we come to examine inte the condition of the suffer- ing poor! True philanthrophy does not go thus to work. Like genuine piety, it does not make pub- lic and egotistical parade of its emotions and deeds. It does not weste itself in vain projects, whose only end is to gain the public eye, and fill the public ear. {t visits the widow and the fatherless in their dis” tress—it clothes the naked—it feeds the hungry— and it shall not go without its reward. When the spurious benevolence which gets up associations to place piano-fortes in Sing Sing for the amusement of the convicst, will be overwhelmed with confu- sion, the true philanthropy which we have de- acribed will receive the smiles of heaven. Its dis- ciples will be greeted with those sublimely pathetic day to occupy a prominent position as agreat free State amongst the nations of the earth. She has abundant elements of wealth and power within her borders. The opponents of annexation may live to see the day when they will deeply regret their obstinate and unreasonable course, if the measure be defeated, which, from the state of feeling in ‘Texas now, appears most likely.
