Chapel, in this city.


The peculiar position of all the parties that are
concerned or interested in the issue of this Conven-
tion, is very interesting 10 lockers on; and to OBJ
serve the solemn satisfaction with which this cler
cal set-to looked forwardto by both parties forms
quite an amusing scene. The two newspapers, The
Chvchman, and The Protestant Chuchman, the
former supporting the of the Bishop, and the
latter opposing II, have for time past been IN
duglng in pleasant little encounters, OF which their
different papers have been the theatre, but their final
bulletins were issued last Saturday, and as far as
they go, the quarrel is at stand still Each OF them
calls their friends in the Convention TO give the
victory 10 their side by their votes and speeches.
The Churchnian takes rather curious ground for
the present stale of things He anticipates quiet
and peaceful Conventions as says he =


"The minds of men Qt is only the infant mind which
is taba rasa'D on both sides are doubtless already
pretty ell mat up. and both sides We are inclined TO
believe viii account II saving OF time and temper TO
bring To speedy an issue as courtesy and pro-
prety VIII allow.


:. What conhrms in angury Of a peaceful Con-
the better disposition which prevails in regard
10 the Bishops support for we understand that man,
who regard resignation as the proper for existing
evils still IN favor of continuing the salary Such
evidences OF good feeling like oil the troubled
waters a"d VIII 10 muca to give us happy issue out OF
ouf difficulties.


Toe cn,et ground of our hope, however is the do.
IL
deep and extensive we believe it 10 be- it will pre-
dominate in the Convention and give tone to its proceed
ings"


This betokens confidence in his cause but he
proceeds, in another article, to give our friend, the
Rev. Col. Webb, suitable admonium for inter-
meddling in what the Churchman thinks is no
quarrel OF his and gives the that 1t did not
before notice the Rev. ColonePs attacks on the ia
nous circular that sent TO many OF the country
cergymen of the Diocese. The plan adopted by
the Chtuchman, ii will be seen, is somewhat similar
to that of throwing tub to angry whale to amuse
itself witt, h,when the harpooners, having diverted its
attention, can strike II more securely.


" is some weeks, perhaps months ago, that daily
paper of city attempted in its clustering way
cite the odum of its readers against a portion of our
clery in consequence of Circular sent as was al
leg ID, to all the clergy and in order, nsnuated
to combine them in attitude of hostility to the laty
and to stie the freedom of debate at the ensuing Con-
vention Since then other kindred journals have pro-
onged the blast and in particular has from week
week poured forth food of virtuous indignation against
the audacious authors OF the Circular for their craft
and presumption. When the assault first made,
were requested to publish the said Circular order
avere to do because thought that deprive
the opposition OF one topic of defamation would only
ever that they have expended breath and the Con.
vention is at hand give the document in order that
the public may how gratuous the clamor which has
been raised against it."


Such is the state of affairs on the, Bishops side


The Protestant ChWciman, in its final bulletin
gives the Bishop but little hope, and goes so far as
TO say that were he restored, 1hat his useful
ness in the Diocese is destroyed forever. In the
face of that evidence and that verdict it is lmpossi-
bic for him 1--WE say it with sad heart, but less
solemnly and firmly hereafter to ofiiciate to the
promotion OF the peace, welfare and true interests
OF the Church"

rier and Enquirer, and full column was
yesterday devoted to the consideration of the
subject-Bishop or no Bishop-and the Reverend
editor comes out decidedly on the No-Bishop side.
He enters into critical analysis Of several articles
in the columns OF the Chuwchman, and considering
he is merely amateur theooglan, he argue quite
iogcally-lay ing down the law to the whole Canven-
tion in quite authoritative style and making him
self quite prodigy of knowledge as regards the
whole of this question, and concludes by hoping the
whole will be thoroughly, yet moderately, dis
cussed'


Thus stand the combatants, each one confident
of his cause and victory; which side will win, time
alone will tell; the parties have both entered the lists,
the trumpets have sounded and the jousting match
is about to commence. In accordance with the old
custom, we can only say "God defend the right"


REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENTS IN New YoRx-It
is not known TO many that there is a revolutionary
club or committee, called the National Reform Soci-
ETY., which meets every Wednesday evening at Gro
ton Hall, for the purpose OF taking measures in re-
ference the propagation OF all sorts of radical re-
forms, advocated by the revoutionists of the day
This important revolutionary club has issued several
very curious reports, besides patronising weekly
organ for the dissemination of their sentiments.
This is the standing club who keep up the connec-
ton between the antl-renters of the interior and
those entertaining similar views in this city. Its
members are formed Of young and enthusiastic phi
osophers, full of the spirit of reforming every thing
from the highest to the lowest points OF society. In
point OF temper and disposition, has only reached
its first formation, being sort OF Grondist Club; tor


twill take some time yet before It reaches the third
or fourth formation, which may be called Jacobin
Club. Its discussions and debates are most inte-
resting, and we will give a report of tomorrow
evenings proceedings


QuARRELLINe FOR THE SPoLs.-Since the Presi-
dent began HE removals from and appointments to
office, great deal Of violence has taken place be-
tween the appointed and disappointed We are in
undated with communications from the large At
lantic Cities well from those in the Interior
evidently written by office-seekers, who have been
disappointed. We have piles upon piles of commu-
nications, of them taxing Mr.. Morton, of Bos-
ton, and Mr.. Lawrence, of New York, with mis-
conduct; others also, containing structures on Mr.
Horne, of Philadelphia. Many of these are vio-
lent personal attacks and cannot receive any atten-
tion from us. We do not sympathze with this
quarrelng between the President and office-seekers
nor do we care if he change his collectors every
month, and the collectors their employees every
week. Mr. Morton, Of Boston, is no doubt, as good
public officer as any of his predecessors so is
Mr.. Lawrence OF this city, and Mr.. Horne of Pha.
delphia, too, and so are they ALL
