Judge Woodrufl Oct. 16.-James Har ison, George Harrison, Henry Suy- ton, Daniel Drew, and Seth F. Kelly.—This was an ap- jowing circumstances, The plaintiffs are owners and lessees of the building on the easterly side of West street, between Cortlandt and Liberty streets, in this city, The defendaxts are membert of an incorporated asso. ciatio ged in running a line of steamboats (called thy “ Peoples’ Line,”) from this eity to Albany, end in the use of Loccupatinn, as lessees, of the wharf and bulk- head forming the westerly side of West stree | of Ube premises of the plaintiff, and of the pier extend- | ing therefrom into the North river; aud this associa- | top, kaowm ae the People’s Line, composed ia part of the | same members as the present, have beeu insuch use apd pation for more than sixteen years last past. It pears, from the affidavits submitted, that for many years last past, more than onevhalf in width of the pier referred to st ite junction with the westerly side cf Wert street, has been occupied by @ building used as ihe cflice of the association, by which the entrance to or upon the pier was reduced or obstructed and the passage of venicles and carts, with freight, passengers.

Newton, to the wharf, andreceivec from him a minutgly detailed expianetion ofthe whole plan, aud that he expressed himself ratisfied therewith and approved the same. The alterations were subsequently cemmenced. ‘The pre- sent plaintiffs filed bill in this Court alleging that the defendants were erecting a public nuisance inju rieus to them in their private property, and praying thy ube erecticn of the buiiding aud fence, and from erect- ing any other building on the wharf or bulkhead Upon that bill (the parties being restrained until the motion could be beard,) a motion was made at special | term for an injunction restrain.og the defendants during | the pendency of the suit, and after full urgumeat the | motion was denied. Thereupon the defendants leted the building The plaintiffs now present a ni bin of complaint te the Court,and ask that the defendants be restrained by injuvetion from proceeding with the construction of this roof or building, as it is styled. It seems to me, says Judge Woodruff, that this was | peither neoeesary nor proper, to commence @ new su’ for the cause alleged in the present complaint. * * * Bo far as the decision of the motion in the other suit was based upon priaciples sppliceble to this, they have my full concurrence; anc if the; 1 not, I should respoet the views of my associate so far a to leave the plaintiffs to their eppeal to the general term of the Court, the ap- propriate place for reviewing the decisions made by the Judges eeveraliy George Harrison, the active plaintiff, ‘by whom the bill is signed and verified, not only stood by abd saw the defendants engage ip and commence the work without ebjection, but examined and approved the plan in ail its details If, therefore, the Court were sa- tistied that the erect. n complained of were a nuisance, it ought not to be restrained at his instence.

[concuvpen.] Tvespay, Oot. 14, 1851. The Presbytery assembled at 9 o'clock. After the opening prayer, the clerk proceeded to read the minutes of yesterday’s proceedings. Upon coming to the objections made by Mr. Little to Mr. Car lisle’s adjudicating on the case, he expressed his doubts as to the propriety of leaving them on the record. Mr. Crystie entirely coincided with the clerk; the objections had been clearly overruled, and he weuld record them simply as having been made by the defendant, but were overruled. Mr. Suaw thought they ought to be recorded. Mr. Wyuie coincided with that remark. -If the case should be appealed, the record might be shown, to prove that injustice had been done. On motion of the Clerk, the objections were re- moved from the minutes—ayes 7, noes 3. The next specification of count first of the libel was then taken up, as follows :— “That opposition to, or bearing testimony against any civil government, which may oxist in the providence of God, is contrary to the prac- tice of our Saviour and his Apostles.” In the fol- lowing expressions, or words to this effect, our Saviour says, “ Render unto Cesar the things that are Cezar’s,” ‘ When he was reviled he reviled not again,” he made no opposition to the existing powers,” &c. ‘The CLenx remarked that he did not think Mr. L. iutended to teach, in the absolute form, the doc- trine which was here searene but believed ho did use language that might bear this interpretations He thought Mr. L. misinterpreted Christ’s doing. and example. Christ and his apostles did assail national institutions, and the Roman government so understood them; hence they were said to “turn the world upside down.” Covenanters had main- tained, as a church, that it was right and datiful to declare their dissent from whatever they believed was sopees to God and his Christ, avd point out distinctly who the parties are that are guilty of this opposition. Mr teaching was calculated to discourage that kind of spirit. Mr. Crystie thought the evidence upon this ar- ticle of the libel remarkably clear and decided. Mr. L. had, in # conversation with him, referredto the impossibility of any persons attempting to in- culcate an idea of that kind, because every person that read the Bible knew that such was the closing testimony of Christ. Ee told the apostles that they should be brought before kings and rulers for his sake; and such was the fact. But there was an- other view of the subject. It was the duty of a Christian teacher to caution against popular and tumultuous outbreaks—to check what might be in some instances the right. So Christ would not be made king by the multitude. Popular violence was not the way to seck a remedy. it was probably the view of the subject which Mr. L. inculcated. Mr. Wiiiams called for the reading of the testi- mony of Mr. Neety, which was as tollows:—Mr. L. said the apostles submitted to the government of their day without questioning its origin. Mr. Srevenson said he would be guided by the taught what was there charged, he taught errorsin doctrine ; and if it was proved that he used the words charged, or words to that effect, he did teach false doctrine. Mr. 8. cited the evidence of Mr. J. A. Bowden, that Mr. L suid that ‘*Christand his apostles did not go about bearing testimony against any existing government, or creating tisfac- tion among the people.” Mr. Lirrte denied that that was the testimony. ‘The Crexk read as follows:—* Said Christ and his apostles did not go about testifying against the See eee exciting the people and rais- ing revolt.” ir. Lirrix—Is there any Chr‘stian but does the same’ | deny it in the evidence. The MoperaTor was sorry to have to speak to Mr. L.; be hoped he would keep his seat. Mr. STEVENSON insisted that he had given the evidence as it was. Now (said he), if testily against any Corser government, am | not put in op- position to the practise of Christ and his aposties ! ds not such a doctrine caloulated to brit peg po rd Jesus wpe the whole witnessing church of the Christ (meaning the convention) ? Mr. Wy ik thought that Mr. S. had made a very strange application of the testimony. Mr. L. evidently meant to teach that Christ did not go about testifying against existing governments in Such a way as to excite revolt. ‘hat doctrine he (Mr. W.) believed, and the hope, 4 showed that Mr. L. was urging the example of Christ, for uot resisting by violence, but for submission. After some further discussion, the question was taken, and resulted as follows :—For tue charge, 6; for not sustaining it, 7; not voting, 2; exeused from voting, 1. ‘The third specification was as follows :— * That our Lord Jesus Christ approves of the of slave- holding practised in these United States, so muck that be would teila slave who had escaped trom his master, to go back, and meekly and uietly eub- mit to the yoke of slavery,” im the following ox pressions, or words to this effect: — They (the ado- peng oye done much evil on all hands, and even to the slave himself, tending to make his situ- ation more disagreeable, persuading him to — from his master, and opposing all attempts to him back, whereas, Jesus Christ would tell bi go beck, and meekly and quietly submit to t yeke” Mr. Stevenson reviewed some of the testim to show that the charge was sustained, and there was a wonderful coincidence in regarded that phrase, ‘“ to g° back and meek; quietly submit to the yoke.” If, then, Mr. L uttered these words, it was equivalent to saying that Christ roved of slavery so much that he would tell a slave to go back to his master. Mr. Swaw remarked that there were some two or three witnesses who said that Mr, L. made use of this expr n, while some seven or ht be- lieved that he did not; hat it was rather difficult to come to a conclusion as to what he did say. Ile did not think that Mr. L. taught that Christ (A proved of slavery, but, on the contrary, that he denounced it. Mr. Witiams said this appeared to have been a very queer sermon, and it required # better under- stand: re metaphysics than he (Mr. W.) had, to reaily.tell what Mr. L. did mean to teach. He taught that a siave ought to submit, and that he ought not; that he ought to submit, for conscience e, and, in some instances, to make his © » pr vided ‘he can do so. He seemed to think that slavery was right, and that it was wrong. Any slaveholder would coincide with such views. One of the witnesses testified that Mr. L. called the | abolitionists a herd of infidels, and made no di tinetion between emancipationists and abolitionists. The Cuxex conceived there were instances in which a Christian man would tell « slave to sub- mit, as, for instance, when he was in the hands of the officer. Such might have been Mf. L.’s view. As to the allegation that abolitionists had made the condition ofthe slave worse, it was untrue; nor had he heard of a class of called emanci- pationists, aa distinct from abolitionists. Many of the Garrison party were undoubtedly infidels, and he would have no fellowship with them. Then there were the political abolitionists, headed by Gerrit Smith, and other classes of abolitionists conn«eted with the liberty party, or free soi! move- ment. All these, with the exception of sore free soilere, were for immediate emancipation. Mr. L. ought to have kept silent upon this point, and lete it to others, who ad lived in this country Ty and knew better what the character of the tionists was. Mr. Wy.ir wished to give Mr. L the advantage of the testimony. One of the witnesses said that the attempt to extract material out of Mr. L.'s discourse to show tha’ he taught any such doctrine as that, was like oxtracting a a from » nutritious aliment. if Mr. L denounced the schomes of the abclitionists, that was no ground for church censure. The Garrisonian party were infidel, amy ene og marriage, anti imost everything that was good. Other members of this body had denounced them. The Clerk himself had done it in the magazine of which he was editor. Mr. Crystie said the term was distinct from abolitionist in the British empire, during the whole controversy on West oman- cipation. Abolitionist was « term of more general ot then Ny ng t. Stevenson thought that every slave ought to have the liberty ge between ‘give me liberty or give me death.” The Lord Josus ©) had not robbed him of the very elements of man- hood. Mr. Wyte called the gentle to order. The Moperaron said the question was on the epee ‘ation. | Mr. Sirvenson.—It would be charging a wicked | thing tocharge a man to submit quietly to that system, which makes it penal for a man to read the Bible, and takes away his right to his own wife and children; and anybojy who advises another to sub- | mit quietly to such a system advises a wicked thing. The Lord Jesus Christ would not so teach Mr. Wy ie insisted on the point of order; it had | not been proven Mr. L. taught that Christ wasin | favor of the heaven daring _—- of slaveholding. | Mr. Giasrorp thought the prreecutors had at- tempted to make out too strong a case when they introduced the words “‘heaver-dering.”” | The question was then taken on sustaining the charge, and it wae decided in the affirmative. | ‘The next count in the libel was for “pursuing divisive courees—specification first: ‘By misapply- ing and perverting the ssriptures, asserting tha the text other es of the Bible ht the false doctrines stated in count Let, ‘pentliation Ast oud 2nd, of this Libel.” oftaire of the province mted no wew feature of f | terest: Busine amalued dull, and was likey to oo: urging the hearers and to ne the slctire di—yeas nay . different © charges, and finding the accused guilty of all but rec mained for the court to give o jadicias fovnineped or sentence. Mr. Crystie said he intended, though the mat- ter had been decided adversely to the clearest con- victions of his own mind, to acquiesce in that de- cision, and hoped Mr. Little would do the same. At the same 6, he would give notice’that he in- tended to bring this case before the supreme judi- catory of the church. The CLERK moved that the court call upon Mr. Little either to retrac’, or explain to its satisfaction, his views on she coins, of the libel which had been found proven against bim. The metion was egress, to. Mr. Lirrte said he had but a very few remarks to make. He had, in his defence, stated his views ly, a8 he thought, though perhaps not quite to ¢ satitfaction of some memb He considered the evidence clear enough to warrant the court in coming to aconclusion the very opposite to what they had done. In regard to count first, specifica- tions first and second, the evidence was direct that he did not teach submission to any government that migh exist, as the moral ordinance of God. ‘The clerk of the court (Mr. Wilson) had acknow- ledged that all the difference between them con- sisted in some variation about the p! con- science sake,” saying that he (Mr. it one thing, and Mr. W. and the church . And notwithstanding this statement of that ber, a ments of this court had voted that he was guilty of that specification. He had no expla- nation to make in regard to that. ir. Little explained what he held in regard to sub- mission, that whatever obedience or submission a Christian yielded, it must be as tothe Lord, and not to man, not only for wrath, but also for con- science sake. He did not toll his people to submit to a badlaw for fear of thatlaw. Lt was submis- sionto God that they were to render in certain ireumstances. They were to keep quiet till He, n his wise providence, opened up a way by which that evil should be eradicated. Ifthat was error, be was guilty; and in finding him guilty of the charge in count first, spccitication first, a majority of this court had, in bi from & conscience enlightened by the word and guided by the spirit. No amount of pao would move him from that position. That was all the explana- tion he had to give; and the Court might proceed to its extremity. If it chose to fix its pincers, pro- duce its inquisitorial implements, and re-enact the scene of the middle ages in this nineteenth century, let itdoso. He trusted he should not be forgotten before that High Tribunal where the members of this Court and all appear, and where be confident- ly believed his adverraries would be covered with ame and contempt. The remarks of the speaker roduced a great sensation, and many of the au. Fience were, bathed in tears. Tbe Ciexk said he agreed with the grester part of what Mr. L. bad said, but considered that he had not touched the issue. Tho question was, whether any government that exiris in the provi- dence of God, while it stands, is to be recognized with a covscientious obedience ano regard. Mr. Lirte replied that he did not teach that submission or obedience to an immoral government was to be yielded as submission to the moral ordi- nance of God After some further debate, Mr. Brown put the following question to Mr. Little:—Does he believe that any power which deprives the subject of civil liberty, and which intentionally squanders his pro- perty, is properly acting— Mr. Lirrce interrupted the gentleman before ho had completed the interrogatory, by saying he should answer no ‘,uestions.
