| STRIDES OF THE WKsr.-Withn the last eek
or two we have received several papers published
at the extreme end OF the far West According
to these the wild praries are becoming richly cul-
tvated lands, and new towns rapidly springing
into existence. Indeed the Inhabitants Of the wild
West beginning build large sized steamboats,,
and are seriously thinking of connecting the Mis-
sissippi with the Lake by water communication
through the Fox and Wisconsin Rivers, to be ma
vigated by steam vessels. We make an extract Of
two indications of the prevailing spirit in the back
woods.

Case or Bishop BENJAMIN Il. Onderdonk, DID.
Mr.. EpIroR,-


having seen several articles in the daily press,
commentingA on the decision Of the ecclesiastical
Court, which has receatly given verdict adverse
to the Bishop of New York. and which seem to
inculcate that said decision must, as matter of
course, direct and decide public opinion on the
subject,. will you permit one who has yet to form
intelligent opinion in relation to these proceed
iags to suggest that the public, and especially the
members Of the Episcopal Church, owe it to them
selves, as well as to all the parties concerned, to
withheld decision as to the correctness of the
finding and sentence of the Court until The pubIi-
cation OF all the proceedings OF said tribunal? The
tact that the Court was not unanimous, either in
the verdict or sentence, is sufficient cause for such
snspe sonsof opinion: If it be true, as is asserted.
without denla that six of the Bishops constituting
the Court, voted tor acqulttal, Tor am deerous

far as public opinion is concerned, every person
being about to be put in full possession Of all that

Mon on the merits OF the case. We know thai
Juries have often given verdIcfs which have been
reversed, on an appeal 10 higher tribunal; ano
thus, when the verdict has been, as The trial by
Jury requires, unanimous. If unanimity in de-
c'slon is not IN all cases proof OF its justice, de-
c'slon made by majority. with six such names
as De Lancey, Ives, Doane, Kemper, Gadsden, and
Nottingham, in the minority, should be received
with caution. IL Is true, II appears, if the state
ments made be correct, that these Six Bishops
voted afterwards for the sentence of suspension,
which has been pronounced against the Bishop OF
New York; but this act, done probably to save
him from greater injustice in their opinion, de-
msnds from the public, on their account, a suspen-
sion of opinion until the whole of the proceedings
are before the world Who that reads in the pages OF
ecclesiastical history, the action of similar tribu-
mails in relation to Bishops, deposed, and af-
terwards restored Bishops whose names and vir-
tues have come down to our day as examples OF
purity and integrity, while the names Of their con-
demners have sunk into oblivion, or are remem.
