On Satunlay last we fave asketch of the causes that led to the division of this powerful denomination. They were doctrinal, sectional, politieal, aud personal, Though nearly duals who bore 1 the prominent Indivi- leading parte in this eepara- Hon have descended to honored graves, the Proposad reunion awakens reminiscences of tonilicts between learned Doctors of Divinity and eminent Ruling Elders concerning tore- erdination, original ein, the teachings of the Westminster Confession of Faith, and the merits of Jomn Canvin, which were hardly less acrimonious than the coutemporancous eontests in Congress between distinguished Benators and m: erning the right of petition, the Divine origin of negro sla: Kerry; -tee construction of the Constitution, and the merits of Joun C. Canmoun, The debates in succeasive General Assem- blics about the period of the division were remarkably al) Onee, at Phils they extended through two or throo ks. The leader on the Now School or liberal tide was the Rev. Dr, Naruan 8.8. Beata of Troy, who retlected the views of a la Majority of the Northern avd Western ehurches, and more expecially of the New Haven Theological Seminary; while the other side rallied around the Rey, Dr, Junkty, of Pennsylvania, subsequently the father in law of Stonewatn Jackson, who chan pionel tho opinions of the Southern Churches, and particularly of the Theo logical Semnary at Princeton. The bene’, the bar, and the literati of Phila delphia crowded the galleries and aisles of the building where the Assembly sat, aud bers “Aphia, Brercnen, in his primo, had been regarded ns the very pillar of orthodoxy in New Eng- land, At Litchfield, and afterward at Boston, he had won pulpit honots, not pre- cisely of the same kind, yet not less brilliant and enduring than those since achieved by his distinguished descendant, In bis declining years, while stil) in the fall possession of his powers, he removed to Cincinnati to preside over the Lane Thee logical Seminary. He also assumed the pas torate of @ Dresbyterian church in that city, of which such leading citizens aa Bunnie, Grovsnrck, and Pexptrron—the fathers of the sons Dearing those namca, now 60 widely known—were members, Dr, Bewon- st had hardly got warm in his pulpit when the Rev.

Dr, Benotien had long been an exponent of that Hiberal and accommodating school of orthodoxy whoge brightest luminary was the Rey. Dr. Natuanten, W.Tavion, then the head of the Theological Department of Yale College, who was regarded as one of the ablest Biblical metaphysicians since the days of Joxarnan Epwanps, Many of our readers will recollect the touching reqnest of ron his recent deathbed to Henny When I die,” said he, “take me to New Haven and lay me down by the eid of Brother Tayton"—a request which his son piously discharpod, The Doctor's trial before the Rynod at Cincinnati lasted two weeks. Several of his in@uential New England friends crossed the mountains to stand by their old leader in this severe ordeal, Numerous extracts from his sermons and other publications were intro- duced in evidence. Placed by the side of the cold, curt, crusty phrasoology of the Weat- minster Confession and of the Institutes of , they certainly wore a rather Jati- CaLy tudinarian air, and it could hardly be donicd that the commentaries of the modern liberal. ist did not always keep in close proximity to the ancient text. But the Doctor waa keen, elastic, and plausible; and he was shiclded by an overshadowing fame from which the sharp, stinging arrows of Dr. WiLson, wh was a strong but heavy man, oft rebounded BEecueER mainly managed his own ense, and his closing argument was a specimen of clo. quence worthy of the best of the Bercumns During the delivery of this argument, which lasted a couple of days, the Doctor entertained a distinguished party at dinn composed chietly of clergy’ the Synod, Among the gu Dr. Justin: Epwanps, th ward Presi ven, members of ts was the Rev, or soon after. nt of the Andover Theological Seminary, an institution more strict in its Caly pista than its rval at New Haven, Dr. Epwanps had gone to Cincinnati to give his countenance to the thorough orthodoxy of Brother Bencmen in this momentous hour, ‘Two or three of the more genial of Dr, Wie son's party in the Synod were present. Dr. Bencnen was the life of the company as usual. Fallof the subject, he went on dis. cussing the points at issue amid the rattle of the knives oud forks, setting the table ina roar now and then by an apt anecdote, Dur. ing a lull in the conversation, ono of his sons, then a young clergyman, broke in from the lower end of tho table thus: “Father, Listened carefully to your speech sion to which wo had not fally come.
