8 ‘THE TAMMANY POWWOW. “Independence “Talk” at the Coun- eil Fire. os The Braves and John Chinaman—fenator Car ‘ gerly’s Oration—Shoo-Fly Cox in His Glory—For President Hoffman or McClellan ~BMusic in James Brooks and Fun in Everything. ‘The Indian war has commenced on the Ptains, Savages, in and out of reservations, are digging up the natenet, poisoning ‘arrow points, danciag war @ances, and donning the sanguinary paint. The Movement, as telegraphic despatches explicitly state, is apreading among the tribes, It is not to be ‘wondered at, theretore, that the formidable Big Boss and his numerous tribe of clitefs, braves and young Men pre awake and alive to the exigencies of the time. The Six Nations may hoe their nutritious Potato” and cultivate the lucious squash With the spade and shovel of the squaw; but the nation of Big Boas Tweed, hoving a keener relish for scalps and @ more appreciative Mea of the value of horses, beads and blankets, dis- @ain such effeminate employment, They are on the ‘war path and in tull paint, A council of these de- termined savages was held yesterday in the Wig- ‘wam, ostensibly todo honor to the great Father of his country aud celebrate the scaling of the Eng- ah chiefs in 1776, but really to circumvent their enc- mies and to lay their plans for the coming campaign. Although.jess stoical than thelr West- erp brethren these red men wore on shor HIDEOUSLY PAINTED PACES the usual badge of Indian indisference; and it was only at such times during the meeting when the chie’s unguardedly hinted at thelr real purpose— soaips and plunder—that the young men showed their teeth and gave veut to tneir. feelings with the expressive Ugh! Ugh! At haif-past nine o’clock Big Six, with his hatr pro- fusely greased, his army blanket wrapped gracefully around his ample person, an wearing an immense mgh hat—a relic, mo doubt, of his cele- brated raid of last spring—the sachems, braves and warriors -puinted to the eyes and bristiing with (city).government knives and tomahawks, stalked proudly into the vestry of the ehureh of the Bad Dickey—famillarly known as the Great Tammany Wigwam—and immediately opened @wost momen us powwow. It was observed that Big Boss felt his belt for his hatchet, when he acci- dentally fell over the dark steps at the entrance at the Wigwam, and was only prevented frm uttering a heart-flustering \ boop throngh the efforts of sev- erat of his favorite young men, who were anxious to mash on the mouth, in a quiet sort of way, the supposed offending “‘snoozer.” Assembled around THE BLAZING COUNCIL FIRE Big Boss nodded solemnly at Chicf James B, Nicholson, who grunted in response, and, burying his hatchet deep in the stump of the tree of Liberty on his right hand, began in nis usual guttural and rapid manner a speéch of evident cloguence, point and force. It was delivered in the dialect of Tam- many, and, of course, was unintelligible to all but the initiated, He wus understood to say, however:— “Tam Big Boss, speak little, do much, Long-Talk- Howling-Wind-Casserly make great speech. When he yell Coolie Chief Hall and Big Boss vamoose— «Ugh! ugh !)}—Great fun. Much laugh, Ugh! ugh I" Chorus of braves. Ugh! ugu! SEVERAL OF THE CHIEFS and some braves rose slowly from their seata, with the evident intention of asking an explanation of the Jast expressive sentence in the speech of the warlike Jeader, but a warning glance from Culef Nichojson, and the gleam of an upliited knife in the nervous ands of that hasty warrior, admonished them to be cautions. Smiling grimly on his young men, and snorting significantly at the rebellious warriors, Big. Boss clapped his white hat over his eyes, tacked up his dirty blanket apd marched out of the council. ‘The sachems, braves and warriors, were fain to fol- jow. In a few minutes more Sagamore Roome heard stealthy steps on the staircase, aud ina minute more the entire trive entered in indian fle the Wigw: The Sagamore flourished his tomahawk, aad, while placing nis lorefinger on h.s formidable nose, silently motioned the dusky warriors to weir assigned positious 1 the champer. Owing to the difficulty experienced in obtaining a correct ist of the leading Sammanys present, our reporter had to obtain the names in buglish from the obliging G. W. Roome (sagamore), aad Gus, D. Cardozo (Sweet Talk). ‘they are as follows:—8. 5. Cox, Emanuel B, Hart, Join J. Bradley, Isaac Bell, Dougias Taylor, James B. Nicholson (Father of the Council), Samuel B. Garvin, 4. Oakey Hall, Willizu M. TWeed. Wilsov Small, Henry Vandewater, James Waigon, 8. C. Duryea (Wiskiassie), and George W. Rove. These were chief. AMONG THE WARBIORS. were John M. Carnochan, Thomas ©. Fields, Forbes Holiand, Jenn RK. Brady, Hugh Sapith (Mick.Sumith), James L, Miller, A. S. Sullivaa, Andrew J. Garvey, De Witt Van Buren, Bernard Smyth, Hiram Caikine, Joba Garvey, Charles P. Daly, William Hitchman, Geyson N. Herman, Timothy Brennan, Peter Trainoi Terence Farley, Malcolm Campbell, Isaac Robison, Archy J. Fuil¢rion an B. Koliius. Among the invited gucsts were Jolin Savage. F. B. and Tammance; Jolin Pine, John Richardson, Nelson W. Young, President of the Workingmen’s Union; Tun Goiding, City Marsal Wart, Jin irving and others. The platform on which the savazes sat was gayly decoraied with Mags and streamers, direful weapons, suggestive of scaipless heads and bleeding hatr; ai rows, watwpum a14 knives hung about, and ti aspect of the place was redolent of peace and war. But the aspect of the wily savages Was most feariul. Ail the audience, however (ihe gudience was noi crowded), were not assured of safety; lor after the commencement of the proceedings a Jarge number of those in the Rody of the hall apd tn the gallery moved out, here was a band in front of the piatform, composed of drowsy musi- cians, who occupied tae jazy moments tween the spasmodic periormances of the orators and their own in sleeping and gazing at the Wondrous piece of dry goods which, on a poie of considerable length, faunted in tue face of the audience as the Cap or Liberty. ALL THE OFFICE-HOLDERS and office-seekers in New York were present, either ‘on the platform or in the body of the hall; the hold+ ers of fat contracts and those who expected to ob- taln such beneiits; prize fighters, faro men, Alder- men, democratic sitikeis aud ovics estimabie citl- wens. During the proceedings some attention to the speakers Was manifested, but when, at a late period, onglas lor, speaking doubtless “by the card,’’ imiimated that Governor Uoilman was to be the next President, by the help of God and the demo- cratic . tere Was a ominous silence, When, however, the name of General George B. McCleilan ‘Was castially mentioned the cheering was tumulta- ous and long continued, The circumstance was commented on by the chiefs and braves, and por- tentous winks shot from under the eyebrows of the g@agacions sachems. Mr. Casserly in lis Paget made atleast one lit when he sald that if the scheme of introducing cooiie labor luio this country sucveeded many of his hearers would go to the workhouse aud maybe to the penitentiary. The latter part Of the remark was received ‘by the Bistening braves with grimaces of displeasure. Mr. Cox was quite energetic in his spread-eagie speecn and taiked Latin like a book, to tue dissatisiaction of the workingmen in the gallery,,who were not sure that it was not an invocation to Joha Cnina- man’s jose. OPENING OF THE POWWoW. "The Grand Sachem (Big Boss), Wiliam M, Tweed, ‘took the chalr promptly atten o’clock, and, alter a barst of music by the Seventh regiment band, stood up, bowed in acknowledgement to tne hi ht's of lis braves, and talked in his usual quick and peremptory manner. The faithful understood him to say tliat he was delighted to preside on the occasion, that It w: #® inagnificent time, and that all hands weicome to the feast of reason and flow of soul. band, and the De- ‘Then there was another biast from th Brother Edmund Kandolph Robinson re: i More music followe: sacl over tie meetin, THE ORATOR OF THE DAY was Senator EUGENE CASsERLY, of California, an- nounced on the siiail bilis as a “big injin” from the Pacific, Who was to give a “long taik” tothe as- sembled warriors of Manhattan. Mr. Caserly is a short, spare man, with o small head inclining to baldness at ite summit, but exhibiting quite a gene. rous hirsnteness at the sides, after the manner of Horatio. Seymour. He has thin lips, long nose and rather qi restiess eyes. He spoke vel slowly nd deliberately and with very evident wane of much previous preparauion, the which, however, he honestly stated ne had not had tine fox, belag both night and day since notified of the wi of the Tammany Society for h nee in this city onthe Fourth and invited to deliver this address. He had not had ume, he said, even to arrange his thoughts upon the subject matier of a speech, a most unfortunate event cer- tainly, but one which his hearers bore in mind to his credit during the delivery of bis oration, over- looking in consequence what shortcot vere were in its composition and generously applauding whore opportunity was given. ‘THE ORATION. riy, after his apology, above referred to, to the fact that this Sacer cee pret eMes 901 jon, ol tn which to e into the future. and meet then com} nted this city and State for the h both had always borne in ‘the great le for constitutional liberty begun on the day we commemorate, and in the progress of the experiment which that struggle developed, he traced the o1 the American War of Independence, as it called forth the patrioilsm and aelf-acrificing devotion of the thea colony of New York, and showed how, when the armed conthet had closed and | Prejuaices and pretensious stood In the way of the consolidation of that empire of freedom so hardly earned, New York geno- rously gave up her claim to milous of acres of lands to the general government in order to of a higher '] remove an obstacle to the general agreement, New York's Voice was then petent to construct the Union we now have—or ough! to have. Coming duwn later in our bistury the speaker referred to the strugsie that took piace in the early days of the republic be- tween the fedcrat-and democratic parties; a struggle which gave birth to the odious alien and sedition «laws of Adams? time—laws, he sald, uot- more odious, however, than many now In existence in violation of the coustituuion, When that siraggle culminated it was upon the election in New York diate andin New York city that the result turned, and thea, as ever, the great Volge of ths people was found om the popular side, aud federatisin was wiped out. The Senator then rapidly skeuched sume of ihe events of the war, aot arraigned the republican party for its treatment of vhe south. Happening in tue course of his remarks wen olbers to mention grected it busiasm, such a8 nO other incident called forth, wich Was Te- peated again and again as olten as bis nage Was mentioned, The reconsiructioa laws Mr, Casserly severely denounce |, and gave the in ormation that he had heerd it said in Congress, in-no-inconsiderate way, that it had the @. to “deal” with New York as Weill as with the South, (Cries of tet ‘em come.) This Ukewlse served as a text for a fing at the re- morseless two-titrds majority In Congress where the sober sense and thouzhtfolness was all in the rear and vulgar audacity uppermost. It used to be sa.d, said the speaker,"0f Napoieou's army when tn Egypt, that when about to march the order was “asses and savans" to the centre. With the present two-thirds majority in Congress tt was ‘asses and savans’? to the front, Save us from ph:losophers in polities !- Reviewing some cf the acts of the present Congress Mr. “Casserly said the act to entorce «the Mftecuts amendment was oue of the most audacious ever Imposed upon a free people. It provided for the appointment of au unlimtted number of Circult Court Commis- sioners, With power to appoint an unlimited num- ber of bailiffs, having almost uniimited power, ex- tending even to cailpg into requisition to enforce teeir orders the ok and navy of the United States, Adrunkeu loaier who might push away @ man of color from che polls migut, under this act, give Ov- casl0R ior the in ervereuce of the miiltary authority of the Un.ted States with that of the State Couris. Farther, ali naturaiization laws propose’ in tie present Congress treated applicants tor ettizenship as though \hey were criminals. By far the most interesting part of Mr. Casserly’s address was his concluding reference to the ques- tion of Cainese iabor. But little response wus givea his sentiments on this matter from the platform, but the body of ihe hall was loud and hearty in its eu- dorsement, Premising that portion of his address by stating that he regarded ihis subject of the in- troduction ef Chinese labor into this country as one of the Most Momeatous isues Of the day, he con- tinned:—No society is well founded unless resting on a sound sysiem of Jabor. ‘That is literrupied when his wages are cut down to below a remul uve igure, or such # rivalry a8 Asiatic labor 13 in- trotuced by capital to bring about such a result.

The speaker thougit he knew the cou: the democratic party will take ou this question—tho same as that lnaicated ip his remarks, If not he Wil cease to act with it, No party was so far free of the thraldom of capital as (ne democratic party, He had given this subject much thought and consl- deration, aud couid see put ene solution of it, Afier some furiher rcmarks i the same straiu the speaker Sat down, the interest felt in ihe questioa under consideration being manifested by frequent cries of “Go on,” “GO on.” ‘THE ODE. Then came an ode, by Mr. John G. Saxe, very clever, well delivered and quite amusing. It began in this way:— 2 ‘Tis the volee of the croaker, 1 him complain, The Tammany boys are at t again. Though clever and amusing, however, it did not please everybody, for tt conwuned a hard rap at tue ininany copperheads who turew rhetorical coid ron the war for tie Onion. The majority of rauk and file present, however, relisned it ex- oeedingly, When Saxe had concluled BovcLAas TaYLoR, advancing to the frunt and ad- dressing Mr. Samuel B, Garvyin—chairman in the absence of Big Boss—saia that there were a number of seivers which shonld have been read from distin- ished democrats, amoug whom were Governor Hoffman—who, by the help oi God, would be our next President —and irom George B. MeCleilan—(loud and epented chee.iag)—but they wouid appear in the morning payers. ‘The short talk came next and proved to be a long speech from Mr. 8. $. Cox. Mr. Cox opened and concluded, throwing jibes and jokes into tue middle of luis discourse on the shoricomings of the rad- jeal party, sighed for the constitation as it was, lamented the success of reconstruction, deplored the want of ablity displayed by the touched gingerly on the coolie question jok(#, saouted the praises of the New York de- aud in company mocracy and conciuded a terriic burst of Fourth of July eloquence § by predict ing tie removal of ail existing evils in the good time coming, when Tammany will lead the democratic braves to the White House and to victory. He was reasonably well received; but it was observed tat a large number oO: persons, probably more ap in the live issues of the day than the disttn- gulsued carpet-bagger Irom Ohio, leit, with the fis part of lis speech ringipg 1a their ears, aad did not return to hear the rest, r Oi course after such a speech there was more music, and then, w.tiont a moment’s warning, Mr. dames Brooks precipitated himself on the front of the plat.orm and addressed the audience, skeiching the history of the movement for Independence and criuc.zing the conduct of George Ili. The e! quent gentleman made an elaborate comparison t tween the perverseness and folly of the much bel bored monarch wad the republican party, and brought his well-conceived screed to a clog: by a shriek of admiration for the b.rd of freedom and a peroration, full of sound and fury, signifying the ‘ourth of July. ‘The Seventh Regiment Band then played the “Star Spangled Banner,” the Bohemians rushed for the reception room, the crowd dispersed, saciens, braves and warriors giided off the platform and the Wigwaui Was desericd.

It scarcely paid the great crowd to have gone 80 far, for the game was never exciting, beyoud a long bit now ant again of that plung- ing, Mammering styie which precludes fine ficid- . throught @ pal ing and quick points. Chicago, it was said, fancied this style best; so they nad plenty of it, nothing eise in fact, and if they can be as read- ily beaten all the while ab it as on yesterday, Chicago has paid out many dollars too much for tho Present club, But it may not all be true that was said yesterday, and the White Stockings, in that event, be no such duffors as their first exhibition wonld least one to beeve.

FASHION COURSE. Five First Class Trotters in the Field. Brilliant Assemblage, Splendid Equipages, Charming Weather aud.a Capital Contest. LADY THORN THE WINNER. All sporting men and almost everybody else knows that four or five miles from Hunter's Polnton Long Island, nestling under the church spires of Flushing and within the hum of its pleasantly clustered houses Fasbion Course is. aituated, Its history as grace track until a year or two back recalls many brilliant contests, placing it coequal with the record of any course in the country. Of late, from a variety of circumstances, it has been under a cloud, and some of the more out- spoken and thoughtless. of the turf patrons pronounced its prestige lost forever. But yesterday, @ fitting occasion, perhaps, was @ charming apotheosis forthe friends of the proprietors and those who cling to the exciting amusement of trot- ting, regardless of the potent influences of racing meetings at Jerome, Saratoga and Long Brancb, as the old gilding and finish which once embellished the Course seemed to renew itself, and enhanced by the presence of beautirul and well-bred women, the applause of a jolly humored, eager and enthu- siastic assemblage of seven thousand people and the ever beaming glories of a summer day, bright and harmoniously tranquil in the tints of tts scarcely flecked sky, to shine more radiantly than at any time since the days of Nicholas and Sue Washington, From New York and Brooklyn @ thousand dog carts, piquaut sulkies, drags, phaetons, gigs, coun- wy carryalls, closed coaches, open varouches and dirt wagons traversed the avenues, road3 and by-ways, converging to the track. Those who were not forunate enough to own, or who were too poor to hire a team, elther went by the- railroad or, hke the independent Irish gentleman, footed it all the weary way, and at last with dignity paid the entrance fee, It was @ summer day befittiag the Fourth of July, and an interesting trotiing occasion—a day that might be met with in the south of sunny France, so genial and lovely was it. The houses along the route were alive with exciiement, and the blossoms and or- chards by the way emitted a variety of fragrance, while here and there in long by-paths, not stirred from tier lazy groupings under refreshing trees, the quiet cattle browsed eagerly and the alr was filled with the happy shouts of those young men, pleased with the sport in anticipation or cheered by the prospect of Innumera- ble vehicles that shot out like an endless procession en the long, charming road before thew. The breezes, laden with the preatn of health from the far-off Sound, came like a continuous wave, filled with summer perfumes, to fan the heated cheek and ruMe the pendant horse chestnut biossoms along the roadside, and lngering for a second by white villas in the ficlds to disturd the serenity of the dahlias. Here and there by the way a broken wheel or smashed axle clearly showed the results of reckless driving. Anon, a group that have not started to tie race with bal- anced heads, and who have too often tarried at the stopping places to “celebrate the day,’ are met, and while they energeticaily belabor their willing horses they vecome the objects of comical jests and allu- sions from their compantons of the road, At two o'clock the grand cavalcade had reached the course, and the ensemble of effects was extraordl- nary, Picturesquely grouped in the fields, along the fences on clther side of the grand stanq, and in the shadow of the spacious club huuses, the thousand or more vehicles presented a charming appearance, Many of the occupants remained seated during the idee f meldents of the trot that svon followed, preferring their soft-cushioned seats to the elevated tiers of the stand. Not ior years Dave the club house and all the buildings of the course been so thickly studded with humanity, Here were thousands not aione from the metropolis and its surrounding environs, but many from distant portions of the —_couatry, that Knew the pecuilar mertis of the contestants of the day. The broal, loug seats of the stend were packed. Men of wealth, Whose thousands are as Thany as the cents of tie ordinary morial, stood side by side with natty vlerxs in their kids and velvet coats, ever eager to vouchsate their epinions and talk over the gallant achievements of the favorites, Minglea with them was the rough-tisted, rugged- muscied, bronzed-cheeked laborer, who, too, embracing the adinirably adapted day and the occasion, had journeyed thiiner. Above and beyond the stands, on the balconies of the ciub house, stood side by side with gallant cavatiers, the beautles-of Gotham and the City of Churches, who, in tweir genial and novel way, bantered tie know- ing ones of their companions about prefereuces, aud wagered some pretty litte souvenir that tis or that animal would be the victor, Whirliug now und tien with mingled good feel- Ing and genial harmony into the restaurants below, the thirsty aad hungered sattsiied their appetites, aud tien betaking themselves to the pool stand, wiere tue auctioucer, Major Johnson, entertained the perfect gluttons of tae race track, whose voracious cravings it 1s dificult to satiate in the mat- ter of things of the ‘turf turfy,”? and whose defeats and victorivs give complexion to thelr existence, in- teude ito thetr dreams, sparkle in their smiles and mingle with their tears, in such a manner as to give tte sole ease even If it did not Make their pockeis subsequently aay ueavier. ‘Tae event which brought this grand assemblage together Was ior a purse of $5,000, divided into jour paris, the winuing horse to receive $2,00), the sec- ‘ond $1,200, the tuird $-00 and tne fourth $500, the race being mile heats, best thre in tive, 1 harness, There were six entries and five starters, ~ ‘These were Dan Maco’s pay mare Lady thorn, Wiliam Borst’s black horse George Wilkes, Charies Champ- lin’s brown geid.ug George Palmer, aod Ben Dan- jeis’ bay mare Ainerican Girl.

RELIGION IN GERMANY, Orthodoxy in Leipsio—The Lutheran General Com forence—Spirit of Exclusiveness—Hyper- Sectarian Views—Six Cheses—Civil Marriages—Lutheran Anathe- mas—Sabbath Observance. BERLIN, June 16, 1870, It will not be thought surprising that while tne orthodox tendencies under the especial patronage of the oft-mentioned Minister of Public Instruction and Religion, Herr von Muehier, are still in the ascendant @ large gathering snouid assemble at Lelpsic, styling itself the “Lutheran General Con- ference,” and openly avowing most narrow and sectarian views. ‘The following 13 a short but faithful synopsis of the proceedings, in which were uutted upwards of five hundred representatives of the most orthodox Protestant views, and hatling from all parts of Ger- many, England, Norway, Russia, and even America, DISCUSSION. ‘The first day was devoted to the discussion of matters relating to tne ‘holy’? mission aad evan- gelical deaconries, It was shown thet during the past year the mis- sionary societies of Lelpsic had converted 230 heathen to the Evangelical Lutueran creed; to effect this result eighty-seven missiouaries and assistants were employed, and the expense inourred was over 80,000 thalers, Severe reflections were cast upon the Prussian Diet by several of the speakecs, from the fact of tat body having, as reported in the HERALD, struck out this item from its budget. ‘The opinion was expressed that it was perfectly - lamentable to see religious ani clerical matters made dependent upon sordid monetary consideras tons. Of course, it was urged that only such people. who undersiood nothing beyond cutting off coupons. and calculating diviazads could be hardiearted. qhough o cut down the expense of converting the Cafres. In treating the subject of deaconries one of the speakers, a clergyman aud superintendent of Atten- burg, madverienily committed himself to the states ment that these evangelical lsthuvions were “imita~ tations of the Catholic order, the Sisters of Mercy.” The second day furuished proof of the strict eec~ tarian docirines held vy the overwheluing majority of the Lutherans then present. The discussion was opened at the University church of St. Paul's by the President of the Consis- tory of Munich, Dr. von Harless, wio siated the ob- ject of fhe Conference as being an inquiry into the right of existence of the Lutheran Church. He was followed by Proiessor Dr, Lutiardt, of the Leipsic Consistory, whose discourse treaterl on the unuermity of docirme in the present Luiheran Church, and who deciaimed with great earnesiness and bitterness against Univa teadeucies aud synods, such as advocated by te liberal Protestants He designated tie generat frauchise tothe synods as highly pernicious and tyranuiziag Of minorities, ‘rhe Church government of Saxouy Was ih an undue hurry to convene synods; it dad better desisé irom digging its own grave. Each syuod should rigidly subject iftseif to tue authority aud discipline of he Luiueran Church. € ‘THESES. The learned Professor, 1a conclusion, propozed the foliowing theses, Which Were adopieu wich only three dissenting voices:— Firsi—Uniform confessio: our Chureb, aud one of 16 fa: ‘Second—Vor this reason we whe permit diversity of it Justily freedom of confessional uocirine withiu the Church. Third—For the seit-sane reason we must expect and de- mand on the part of the existing Church government that it shouid hoid itself bound im ali its measures to adhere to the coniessional creed of tae Church, co-operating af the samo time with the suvordinate organs, and we inust_ consider apy departure from this a8 a disregacd am. misuse of power, ‘fourth—Neither coud we acknowledge synods and their resolutions, if not based upon the coniessional doctrine of the Chureb, and cannot concede to them ety right to alter this ire to which they are pietged rigitfully and consclen- ously. Fyth—We therefore pray ail those who have authority in our Church to preserve for conscience sake the unity and Validity of contessional creed, and to ve guided by it to ail their actions. ‘Nith—o all those o1 our brethren, however, who are in danger of being ceprived of unity in the Lutheran Chnreh we address a brotherly exhortation and warning to hold steadfastiy to the Lutheran doctring, that tala tle may be pre served which connects the several Lntheran communities, euch one in itself aad all of thein togetuer. CHURCH AND STATI, ‘The third day was occupied :n completing the work, stull keeping in view right o.thodoxy. ‘The order of the day was tie consideration of the question What position has the Likeran Caureh to take in a State about to introduce civil marriage? MARRIAGE, A long dissertation on tius point ensued, which euded 10.2 declaration of the Conferenc? milatain- ing we strictly sacred performance of the miuiriage rite. Itlooks upon it not asa worldiy tnsiitution, but as based upon divine revelation, aud ony of the speakers Weat 80 far as to maintain that at cach ceremony “God was present in person as spouse, best-man and priest.” 3 EXCOMMUNICATION, In conclusion a large number of theses were agreed to, threatening those who woukl Cispense with the sacred rites of the cerewony with a variety of “ Church puntshinents;” for example, they and their chidren shail be excluded irom the Church prayers, from communion and all other sacraments, and be in every respect re,araed as despisers of divine authority. Does not this look like Roman excommunication? SABBATH. We have yet to notice a «discourse from the Prest- dent of the Hanoveriau Consistory, respectiug “the keeping of the Sabbath. ina sovtal poiat of view.’* Here it became evident that the orthodox ciergy wished to gain popularity among the laboring classes by insisting upon its most rigid observance, BARONIAL INFLUENCE. During the pices there were also present several hundred laymen, mosuy from ihe lianovert- an and Meckienburg feudal aristocracy, who, though not taking ante pert in the discussio evidently strengthened by their presence thls curious attempt at stopping the onward progress of enlightenment. and civilization, if not throwing it back for a century or more. No one can doubt that eiforts of this kind will have the very contrary effect to what is intead- ed, ag will become fully evident in the ensuing crisis of the deep religions movement throughout tie length and breadth of Germiuy.
