(‘That's g0.”) He says his principle ia to have the President coerce the government. The moment, sir, he was announced you find every wan in favor of him, and voting for him. And why? Because he had announced this accursed principie, and they believed that he would have the courage to carry it out by civil war. Now, I ask yon, sir, if, when they found that this cowardly Seymour was not the man for them, how long would it be be- fore it was found he was attacked by sume terrible disease, and put on one side? They are at work at it to-day in Georgia, in Mississippi, in Louisiana. ‘They are endeavoi to reduce tie vote of the re- publican pariy by assagsinating the wen who are on our side, and mi of the boldest meu say that they ‘will exterminate LENIENCY OF RADICAL MEASURES. Then we ruled them as mildly as we could. Did we take any man’s property? Did we not leave every man to avall elf of the fruits of his own labor? Was there anybody to take from him what he had done? Was any manever punished? Were men ever allowed before to escape who had comunitted such a crime against the government? Yct they are howling against wiat they call the worst government that ever existed. The government tlere is as good a8 it can be made; we have only puta lice furce overthem. They were killing each other all the time, and perhaps that was the best way of getting rid of them. Nevertheless the goverument, a3 a government, ‘attempts to keep tho peace, and all we id was to give thein a mere police regulation, such as you have here in Cincinnati to caivh swindiers, breakers of the law, and bring them to justice. And that’s all there is about it. That was tho miserable, tyrannical military bili that they complain of We would not let them cut each ovler’s turoats. I was wi that they should do that; but they would have done more. UNION MEN TO BE PROTECTED—HE SWEARS, Now, sir, if there is anything that the American people should stand upou eternally, as a principio from which they never will recede, it 1s that the Union men of the South, who incurred all the malice hat of these malicious traitors in order to flag of the old P pppoe should be I say to you, and swear, they shail be (Cheers and cries of ‘Gooa.”) A mill. iba {tell you your military bill was not half stringent enough. as murdering our brothers there every day, both black and white, for no other reason under God’s heaven than Oy with all the prejudice and all the malice of the Devii stirred up against them they had the courage and the justice to stand up in behalf of the old government.

Now, sir, I occupied a postition duriwg the war in Congress, and J made it my duty to be more than ordinarily observant of what passed in the military line.

And then General Grant was placed aot the head of affairs, and from the time that he took the helm military affairs are shown to have straighiened up in every Caer ged of that great and terrible con- fret, involving the action of more than a miilion of men, scatte! from the Gulf to the Potomac and from tho Indian country to the Atlantic Ocean, covering @ territory of accursed cnemies wider spread and more malignant and determined than ever was over run and conquered by Napoleon Bonaparte or by Julius Cwsur.

The Committee on Canons, through the Rey. Dr. Benjamin I. Haight, made a report on the memorial presented on Friday last by the Rev. Dr. Goodwin, of Pennsylvania, asking for a change, or rather a liberal reform, in the canon of the Church restrict- ing the officiating of ministers in other parishes, except under certain burdensome conditions, The canon sought to be changed by this memorial and the committee’s report is the one under which the Key. Stephen H. Tyng, Jr., was tried on the com- Pplaint of the Rev. Dr. Stubbs, of New Jersey, con- Vicied and “censured and admonished,” which trial received such universal attention throughout the Church at the time. The report of the committee Was to the eifect that alter the word “necessary” in the twentieti lue of the second clause of section six, canon twelve, ttle I. of tho Digest, there be added tiese words:— But nothing shall be constraed to prevent this Church from ofliciating in. any paris plase of public worship used by any congregal church with the congent of the clergyman iu caarge of such congregation, or, in bis absence, of the church wardens and vestry Or trustees of such congregation or of a majority of them. With this addition the canon, ecctions one and two, will read as follows:— Sxcrr0n 1. No mintster belonging to this Church shall officiate, either by preaching, reading prayers or otherwise, in the parisuor within the parochial cure of another cle man, uuleas he have received express permaission for that p poss'from the mivister of tho pariahor cure, or, in his al sence, from the church wardens and men, or trustees Of the congregation or a majority of them, ‘SxO, 3, Where parish boundaries are not defined by law or settled by diocesan authority under the second section of canon V, of title IIL. of this Digest, or are not otherwise set- tled, they shall, for the purposes of this section, be dedined by the civil divisions of the State, as follows:—Parochia! bound- ariow sball be tho lunits, as now dxed by law, of any village, town, townshtp, incorporated borough, city or the fh bome'division thereof which may have beon reeoguized by the Mahop, acting with the advice and consent of the standing committec, as constituting the boundaries of a parish. If there ‘be but one church or congregation within the Mrits of such vilixge, town, township, borough, city, or such division of a chy Or town'as herein provided tho same shall be deemed the parochial cure of tho minister hav- ing charge thereof, If there be two or more congregations or churches therein, it shall bo deemed the cure of the ministers thereof, and the aacent of a majority of such ministers shall be necessary, But nothing in this canon ehall be construed to prevent any clergyman of this Church from officiating in an} parish or In any piace of publio worship used by any con- Ggregation of tho Chareb, with the consent of the clorayman in charge of auch congrezation, or, in isis abgence, of the church wardens and vestry oF trustées of such congregation or of a majority of them. When, under dioccsan authority, a new parish is constituted and its boundaries defned, this’ secon shall be applicable to the same as #o established. The canon a8 proposed to be amended, together with the report of the committee, was, on motion of Rey. Dr. Haight, ordered to be printed and made the special order on Friday, at noon. This vote was subsequently reconsidered, a4 will be soon irom the report of the afternoon proceedings. CANON RLEVEN, On the same day with the before mentioned memo- rial, Rey. ae Goodwin cbne art oe one ae Pennsylvani raying for achange in canon . title I., of the Digest Tais canon, for the modifica- tion or conclusive interpretation of which the me- morial is the foilowing:— rinitted to ofiiciate fp ‘ng the AROTION L.

Rev. Dr. Mahan made a report from the Commit- tee on Canons, the substance of which was that fuexpedient to change this canon rohibiting persons not ordained ministers of the stant Episcopal Cliurch from ofticiating as such in congregation of the church, and pronounce it highly expedient and necessary to retain this re- striction; but to prevent ali ambiguous construction or its appitcation to lay readers a mere change in the Phraseoiogy of the iitle is recommended. Rev. Dr. Urans considered this subject to bs intimately conn Wiih tho other aud moved it be recom- mitted to the committee and to be made the special order for Friday next, Dr. Goodwin, of Penusyiva- nia, cailed attention tothe fact that the question may arise whether the canon would not Include ministers of the Churcia of Engiand, and hence the subject should be carefully looked into before a de- cision is reached. Mr. Welsh, of Pennsylvania, did not object to the canon, but to the inierpretation given to it by the comuittee, it beipg a partial iuter- pretation, and as such a dangerous thing, A desul- tory debate ensued, and tue report was at last mude the special order of the day mentioned immediately after the other spectal order. UAV. DR. TYNG, IR. This reverend geutiewen, to whom these reports essentially referred and whose course in the Caurch may probably undergo some criticisia when the de- bate Is opened on them, was present on the floor of the Convention en; in occasional enrnest con- versation with a number of deputies of both orders, and listening aiso attentively to the reports as they were read, and to the remarks made upon them, NEW EAS IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK Rev.

Dr. Ovox, tiat the morning service for the House be held every morning at the Church of the ‘Transiiguration, whica was laid on the table, DIVISION OF THE DIOCESE OF WESTERN NEW YORK. Towards the close of the morning session a mos- sage was received from the House of Bishops asking the concurrence of the lower house in a resolution consenting to @ division of the dioceso of Western New York, the contemplated new diocese to include all that part of the present diocese of Western New York lying east of the easterly boundary of tne counties of Wayne, Ontario, Yates, Schuyler and Steuben, ‘the message was now taken up and re- ferred to the Committee on New Dioceses.

Dr. Haight moved to reconsider the vote by which bis report from the Committee on Canons at the morning session was made the special order for Friday next, which was, aiter some explanations, agreed to, and the report taken up at once for de- bate. When Dr. Haight had made a short statement it was objected by Mr, N. H.

ECLECTIC MEDICAL COLLEGE, Yesterday afternoon the fourth session of the Ec- lectic Medical Coliege of the city of New York, in East Twenty-sixth street, was formally opened by James M. Comins, M, D., Professor of Obstetrics, &o., Who read the introductory lecture to a small as- semblage of evidentiy well educated men and wo- meu. ‘The lecture was upon the pre-creation, crea- tion and subsequent development of the earth and its inhabitants, bipedal and quadrupedal. The leo- turer opened by briefly and torscly alluding to the reform in medicine which the pecuilar school of therapeuticism to which he is attached aims. It, ec- lecticism, had been battling for existence for upward of @ quarter of a century, but it would ultimately carry off the laurels. Then, without farther Fagin © ing on this topic, he carried his audience back with him to that dim past in which, if the earth existed, it was in a gaseous form, its orbit in ail probability extending beyond the moon. Its motion was life, and graduaily, in the processes which were evolved in the epochs of ages unnumbered, tals gaseous or vaporous volume condensed and became encrusted, but with heat so iutense that no organized being could exist on its surface. In due time, however, this ever-present and ever-potent motion ‘develo; the lower and more Incomplete forms ol orgauwed existences, Gradually, and as a sequence to th labors of nature, came upon the land first, ag the at- mosphere was prepared for tt, tue vegetable king- dom, hage and Coarse grained, and corresponding to it the animal. In time naturo gave birth to mi who, in his jar organization, embraces all thal was aud is beneata bim, and in this regard is anl- mal. It was his spirit that made bim human and immortal. “Organized lie,” remarked tue lecturer, “begins wi ingle cell, and when Luts cell and ail that it contains 1, dissvived it cannot, except by & strong pane be distinguished froin water.’” he remar! mau commences at the loot scale aud passes througa all grades of animal life; from the life in tae cellular tissue he the footus to the condition of the thenoe to that of the repilie, then to the bimana, and, last stage of ali, into moan, and hat thys he in his wih passes through ali grades of life to the highest.” In tus line of argument tue lecturer continued, but as hig discourse Was exceedingly lengthy, and as it was rincipally excerpted from Andrew Jackson Davia’ ‘Divine Kevelatioas” and his “Physician,” &c., we refer the reader to those publications for further in- formation on the topics discussed by Professor Comtus, At the ciose of the lecturé a morhber of the facuity spoke of the course that would be pursued in the lectures and aiso of the manner of educa- ting the students, male and female, in lore.
