Mr. Tuomrson and Rev, Mr Husr spoke briefly in favor of the union. Elder J. M.

He belioved that if either of these church were chargeable with the sia of schiem, it was the A.so- ciate church. He was now in favor of unton, if it coat be properiy effectod.

He would not object to ‘the basis, as a basis. except that it was made the terms of communion. He believed that the fathers of the As-ociate Reformed Church bad been greatly misrepresented and traduced, and bad at beart the great cause of embracing in their numbers the whole Presbyterian family. He be- Meved there was nothing bat sophistry in the argu- ment that by this union small churohes of both branches could be brought together. The same argument might be used with reference to Methodisw, or other denominations who had small congregations near theirs, He hoped such a basis would be adoj as would perfect a union without making disunion in the church of God.

After prayer and singing the meoting adjourned. SIXTH DAY. The Synod convened at the usual bour on Taesday, and opened with the castomary devotional exerciser, afer which the minutes of the preceding day wore read. After an attempt to postpone the order of the day the subject was taken up, and the Clerk proceeted to real the aucndmends offered by Mr. Findley on the previous evea- as follows — hereas, the consumation of a union of the Associate and Associate Toformed Presbyterian churches ix a high duty, and of great importance to the maintenance of the peculiar privciples held {m common by thelr charches and whereus, the testimony proposed to us by the Axso ciate chu ch as @ basi: of auloa Contsins Do priaciple which is pot expressly embodied in tho standards of the Associ- ate Reformed church, or bas im some form received her sanetion; and wherca®, it ix not doubted tha! the wisdom of the united church will effect apy modilication of the form of church goverpmeut, or the directory for worship of the Woetmineter standards, nec tw harmonise them with the common faith and practice of the two churches, or any desirable mouitication of the formala of questions’ to applicants: and whereas, a majority of the Presby terins of the Acociate Refurmed church have deciar- ¢d themselves in favor of receiving the basis as it is rathe than to fail of obtaining this union; and whereas, it is Delicved that the groai uase of the people in both these churches anxiously slesire it, and that their spiritual in- toresta urgoutly reqdire its epeedy cousummation ; and, Loaily, it is to be feared that, ifthe present over- ture should be'rejected, Use accomplishment of this ob Ject will be long postpoved, and the boart barnings and Contentions between thes ch emer yours be re- vived, and similar evils be produced among ourselves ; therofere, Resolved 1, That the A: o\ale Reformed church dose cnoctate a, and overtared hereby declare ber acory aa a dasis of upion by the A by the General Synod of 1866 to the Presbyterios, in the confidence thas ay modifications or amendments neve-sary | to bermoutve said basis with the faith and practice held ia | commen by the o churches, of render ik more entirely acceptable, will be in dno Ume effected by tho united chcrches, ami ip the coutideuce that reasousole forbear ance will be exercised toward any member of either body that may fecl constrained divseat (rom any of the arucles in this besie.

Mr. Lg tg = Rev. MiVea, Rey. William Lorimer, aud Rev. Mr. MeNalty, debated the propaed amendment at frome length—the latter gentleman strenuously protesting against go ng {avo &n union, and binding themselves to abide to decisions of & joint church whove character they could not fy-eeee. He believed it was directly im opposition to the article on secret societias, in the which they proposed to lop Rev. James Prasriay proceeded to review the manner of the union between the General Synod of the West and the Synod of Now York, and arg sed that by the terms of that Union, by its solemn covenant, @ union op thie basis Without provisiou for amendment would be an injustice to When ths Synod of New York ed theur union with the Synot of the West they were weil aware of this long standing effort at uaion with the Associat rch; they had rooognined it, aud wore bound to di t, an how could they ereate the greatest amount of harmony. He thought that the amendment propoved, of leaving tho disputed rm of commaniog rere, of ceatins ie aaraed rms of commanina io ference to the opinions of dissenting members, was the mest copoiliatory course to be purened, This would reoure the tranquility of the consciences of the tinnbers and the peace and harmony of the church. If the amand- mont were adopted, the minority must take the awfal re sponsibility of sustaining this nmiom. The majority woald pot tyramn'se and the minority could n%# be oppressed, For the amendment he should vote, bat for the resol ition, if amended, he should mot vote; but if adopted would ask leave to record his objeccions.

Rev. Mr Lovx could pot eee the obj-otiens to the union which preeented themselves to his brethren. Ho opposed tbe amend ment because he did not see the necessity of ray we anything about forbearance, which was a cardinal priveiple of their chureh. He believed there was a ms jority in favor of the urion. no matter ia what manner the vote should be taken. He believed that the minority sbould not be oppressed; but surely, if either were to rul- it ought to be the majority. If the plea of conscience was to prevent every measure, there could be no powidillty of coming to an ubapimoux agreoweut upon any moral quee ‘ion, A dedance of the court of Curts:, by edsting the will of the majority, was @ revolutiopary movement which he did pot appr ve. Rev. 8. W. Gowpy, of Columbus, 0., opposed the resolu don and amendment. He saw an intinite number of difficulties and « bjections, apd his earnest de.ire was to stop where they were, and n°t take a vove upon the adop uop of the basis, until by some process they could obtain consideration of the proposed amendments, and a definite vote of the presbyteries on the basis, showing the dyes and nays. Rey. J. N. Dick favored the adoption of the resolutions, in order to convince their constituencies that they had confidence in their own standards Rev. Mr. McKussrrr explained that in accepting the amendment he had po intention to allow dissentiag bro thers the privilege of objeoting to the whole basis afer it had been adopted, as would be an unwarrantable assumption of the meaning of the forbearance spoken of in the amend ment. Dr. MoCarrott denied the jurisdiction of this synod to destroy the Associate Reformed church. Those who chose might join another church, but they tad no power to des troy ext tence of this body asa distinct church. fhe majority bad no authority to destroy the body with which bey were amociated. hour of adjournment having arrived, the meeting closed with prayer. AFTERNOON SESSION. ANer the usual preliminaries, the Cuainaay announced that he had received a despatch from the Associate Synod in seerion at Philadelphia, as follows:—‘The Associate Sypod have adopted the basis almost unanimously, and e —- have left for New York in the two o'clock P.
