Mr. SHexwoop read moroing prayers, and Rev. Mr, Youna, of South Carolina, ssid the lessons. After the usual preliminary business was dispoved of, and the minutes of Saturday’s session were read and ap- proved, Rev. Mr. Fonars offered a resolution that it be refer- red to the committee on canons to enquire and report if any’ and what alterations are necessary in canon 3 of 1844, entitled “ of the trial of Bishops.’ Referred. ‘The question of the legality of certificates of Bishops and standing committees appointing delegates to the General Convention, which was laid on the table on Saturday, was taken up by a vote of the house, on mo- tion of Rev. Dr. Oai.ay, of New Jersey, who said his ob- ject in making the motion was to procure the sense of the convention on the subject, so that the gentlemen appearin here with ‘such certificates might be relieved from their embarrasaments. The ar- guments of several gentlemen, he said, who had spoken ‘on the subject, ularly the gentlemen apebann ey and Penasylv: are apperently so forcible that they cannot be shaken; but it seemed to him, that the qus- Eitioun! lnw-cwvere Ie the letter, he would be. alent, as tut w—were nt, a8 there are gentlemen present ‘qualified than he is to on the subject—but as be thinks it turns on fesiastical polity, he ventures, though with diffidence, to make « few remerks epg pausiae aagennsnie of the gentlemen referred te. The question is, have the diocese the inherent right to elect, choose, or a it, re) mntatives to this convention? This it he thinks they have, and he would submit that cannot be taken away from, or relinquished dy, the dioceses without great injury tethe church. It is enough to refer to the fact that there are in the church, two divine principles of organization: one, that it bas a head the world over—vis. a spiritual head, and the other that each integral churoh had over it @ successor of the apostles. If it be true that the church is one united whole, and every particu- lar church is an integral part of the whole, it fo!- lows that there are but two proper bodies which can be called the church, and that no body, purely convention- al, can be regarded as the original source of power. ‘The original sources of power are the dioceses which constitute the confederated church. if this be so, this constitution is a compact, mot constitu- oo | the dioceces, but simply declaring their rights, an he: thought all doubtful phrases ia the constitution are to be interpreted in favor of the integral churches, so as not to inte those rights. They are to be interpreted in their favor, and not against them. Before there existed in this country any confederation, there did exist several churebes, and they took action, not as a confuecd con- tion, but upon the principle of organization—each acting ‘as an independent church. Dioceses met and took means to form an a. The Diocese of Con- necticut was in all respects a complete Church before it came into union, ,and the views of other dioceses were modified « little so as to accommodate it. Hecon- tended that the principles upon which the on- federation was ed cannot be changed—that we are not the source of power—do uot represent, strictly speaking, the body of the church, but are hero the re- presentatives of dioceses, and each delegate speaks the voice of his diocese, and by agreement the mejority of the voices By abyra bag 8] go forth as the voice of the whole; not it isa whole, but acompact. If this be correct, we must be guided in the decision of this sub- Joot by these principles, and must construe all doubts in favor of the dioves ‘Whatever may be true of the cay an) that a delegate cannot te his trust to a d party, it is certainly true that an original party ay employ any agent to do its wish; and [ therefore think, said he, the argument of Mr. Ingersoll, from Pennsylvania, not applicable to the case. ‘I'he gentle- men who appear here, claim seats by virtue of cer- tificates from parties authorised to grant them. He would, therefore, submit that whether we consider the organization of the church, and the principles of the compact, the onty question that can be ri 28 this: have these les been rity reo ized by the conventions of from which they come? If there has been mal-practice in this respect, let not the convention strip the dioceses of their rights, but let the certificates be rigidly scruti- nized. He would now refer to the danger of laxity in determining clauses of the constitution, which was urged by the gentleman from V! ; and be must a; it appears to him, the church is in danger from pursu- ing an opposite course—that we are in danger of weaken- appointed by « power, or authe- ing the powerof the dioceses, and of converting this ‘house into an instrument of 0; easion to deprive the dioceses of their inalienable He thought there-ege Zo anger in popery, lt hee been ag ere was no danger in 5 28 been dominant tiugly Deowone it is a vice aes in human nature; but it must not be looked for in the hue of a Piece of festoonery or any other trifling thing, but it ag vega) ‘us, lest By es pd into bette mmnee ry @ germ of popery—! indamental principle—an the way for the introduction of @ Pope over us. Whence came Fopery ¢ Did it come from transubstentiation, the invocation of angels, &o.? No; Popery came first, and adopted them atter- Mards. Popery might abolish them, and still be Popery. No; Popery bas come out of the usurpation of the power and prerogatives of all churches. This is Popery; and we nave to look that we do not commit ‘ourselves {0 that principle, which, although it may not work to the same extent with us as it doesin Popery, may cripple and in- jure the church. In view of this, he was in favor of keeping down the powers of this convention—of leaving the dioceses in full porsession of all their rights, which they derive from a higher power than this convention. ‘The principles advocated on this subject on Saturday were, he thought, of a dangerous churacter, and he, therefore, spoke more tully on it than he otherwise would have done. He concluded by saying that he maintainet the right of the delegates to sit as members of the convention, on the principle of the organization of the church and of the dioceses, and of the original compact entered into by the dioce: Rev. Dr. Vaxinoxn said the gentleman who last spoke was, in his opinion, in error in regard to the view he of the The conventions have always chosen their delegates according to the constitution of the church, and ofthe number directed that instru- ment, and the appointing of delegates by any other power than the diocesan conventions has not been » neral practic Hon. Wm. C, Rives felt diffident in speaking on the question, as there are members present better qualified to speak on the subject. Having ulready spoken, how- ever, he would now make a few additional remarks, as it is evident the question must be met. it has come be- fore the house regularly, and must be solved one way or the other, In regard to the clause of the constitution directing the manner in which delegates shall be elect- ed, it appeared to him that no difference of opinion can exist on the subject. The gentleman from New Jersey has presented some grounds which have not before been Presented, and in regard to them he would say, he would not rng tr to follow him, but he hoped that a utter ie, not rind from his — that he jar! \@ sensibility of an: ecological part; tte house, y y . party 'r. Ocitsy rose to correct an impression, which ho thought Mr Rives had formed, and said he had no re- ference to any party in the house, and didslaimed amy intention ‘applying his remarks to any partioular person or party. Mr. Rives continued,“and said he hoped no one would consider him a party man in any sonse. So far exist in the apg has sincere respect for the mo- tives of all, but he has desired always to have nothing to . It gives him pleasure to say, as regards the general views of the gentleman from New J: ‘ Bey, that he accords with him entirely in regardto the rights of the several dioceses—that they wore origi a fectly independent of each other, and his views are d- ed on that ground They were independent, and therefore competent to bind themselves as they thought proper. Now the gentleman says, they. entered into e compact, and with all due deference he would say, it was a compact of human institution, The unity of the ehurch,in « spiritual sense, 1s one thing;,but its unity by compact, is another, The gentleman will admit that only for this compact, each church would be indepen- dent. It is the compact which,brings tho. delegates to- gether here. Io ri to the construction ofa com- pact, it must be governed by the rules of construction ofall compacts; by that the terms of the must be pursued exactly in the manner provided for by the independent parties who made them. Applying the com- pact to the question before the house, it will be seen that it is express, and he would ask, will the gentleman frem New Jersey, wie that the original parties can come and say t they will now Rea en saliy Se tnmeat tn Meese ot rward and nullify compact wi forms the bon of union?

Mr. Rives continued ; Now what are the terms used in the constitution? Ile thinks but one opinion can be formed of their import.

The representatives of those re- spoctive dioceses had applied—those presenting consti- tutional certificates. when first presented there, they had made provision for delegating the power of selecting a delegate to the ae or standing cominittee of the diocese; and such a ice had been sanctioned again and again, by the re- eeption of deputies so selected, into the geaeral conven- tion.

From what he saw of the ster, the difficulty in the first place arose from the committee on elections. Let that report be dispored of by resolu- tion, that it is not concurred in, and would not that be sufficient for the delegate from Maryland? { would wish that mode to be adopted without reference to tho sense of the convention on the constitutionality of the ques- tion.

He folt some diffidence, he said, in speaking on the subject, and if he were to give way to» false modesty he would not speak, but he has attentively observed the course of the debate, listened attentively to all that has been said on either side, and thinks the question before the House one of great importance, and he hoped it would not be considered impro- per in him to make a few remarks. ‘hero can bo no question, he satd, that the oxclusion of the gentlemen who have come here with those certificates of their ap- pointment, would be to them a great disappointment, and would deprive us of their valuable services in cases of the utmost importance to the welfare of the church.

Soule, of Clinton, to sign a note with him for $1,500, payable to the Ticonie Bank, and when asked what he intended doing with the money, replied that it was fora young friend in Waterville, but de- clined giving his name. Mr. 8. declined having any- thing to do with the transaction. Matthews then made application to his uncle to sign with him, but received for an answer that unless h* was informed what use was to be made of the money he would have nothing to do with the matter. Matthews then informed him that it was for Dr. Coolidge, who had received « letter from Dr. Petter, who is now in Cincinnati, stating that if he would send him $1,500 or $2,000, he could invest it where he would soon realize $4,000; that hong was to give him a bonus of $400 for the use of it ten days, and give him a bill of sale of his books and accounts as collateral seourity. Under these representations, his uncle end cousin were induced to sign the note; Mathews drew the money from the bank on Thursday, and informed his cou- sin that he had made an appointment to mert Coolidge in the evening and pay the money over to him, On Thurs- day event Iatthews attended a Party’ of young Law aed at Dorr’s Tavern, end during the early of the even! Dr. Coolidge came into the room, looked round s few minutes and then retired. Soon after the doctor went out, Matthews’ cousin,who signed the note with Te minded him of his spares with Dr. C., who replied, “0, yes, | must attend to that,” and excused himself to the company, saying that he would return again in half an hour, {ie was next seen in conversation with two men, who proved to be students of the college, upon the sidewalk. Nothing more was seen of him night.— The next morning he was found wood in a Mr. Doolittle’s cellar, with usions upon his head, one of which fractured the skull. His moneyand a gold watch were gone. Early on Friday morning Dr. Coolidge received a call to visit a in Clinton, and from Clinton he came to Skowl s and did not return to Waterville until 10 or 11 o'clock A.M. On his return he was informed of Matthews’ death, at which he expressed some surprise, and stated that he had loaned him (Matthews) $200 on,the previous even- ing. A jury of inquest wai nd a post, mortem examination was made of the stomach of the deceased, which was found to contain a large quantity of brandy and some poisonous ingredient, sufficient, it is said, to have caused death. Suspicions were aro agalort Dr. Coolidge, and he was placed under keepers on day, and the jury bas continued their investigations up the time of writing this article. A thorough bod instituted to recover the money and watch of the deceased, and on Monday a portion of the wes fo secreted behind rd ina shed to Williams’ tavern; and the watch was found secr: ‘un- der the cushion of Dr. Coolidge’s sleigh, which was stowed away in the chamber ofa shed. The wath, it is said, was done up in several thicknesses of paren simi- lar in appearance to paper made use of . Coo lidge to do up medicine in. The search for the remainder of the money will be sent these are all tho particulars that we have been able to obtain. Appearances, it must be confessed, are strong- ly against De.
