DURHAM CHRONICLE. Although the religious organizations of the present age are more complete, and cficicnt, for good, than at an" previous period. it is a fact. worthy of : observation that their religious influence 3 is in proportion to their respective ailoo‘i negation of political power, The true ! secret of protestant power is to he found in recognizing the right of every «nan ; to think and act. on his own personal ‘ responsibility in matters of conscience andof the scriptural doctrine that the Kingdom of Heaven is not of this world. It is dificrent indeed as the cXperience of all ages sufiieient attests to, keep the weapons used in the conflict of carnal tartarc distinct from those which are applicable only to the spiritual conflict. The watchfulness which is born of re ligious or clerical competition is useful in- the light of a public safeguard.- ‘chile we are no admirers of religions The unity of the faith does not ap-f pear to be much disturbed by diversity, of doctrine or dissimilarity in ritual.-â€"- ‘ The unity in diversity has been amply; illustrated during the current monthf in Toronto. The Presbyterian Church} of Canada was there represented in its; first general assembly. The Wesleyanl Methodist met there in annual confer-; once. The Primitive Methodists, who,l as their name implies disputed the pre- 1 tentions of their formidable brotherâ€"- held their little conference also, andi ofercd to compromise with a View to a: muttai participation in the family iuo! heritance. The Uongregationlists also the lineal descendants of the Brownites ofithe puritan era, and the more im- mediate ofl‘spring of the English Inde- pendents, the bold assertions of the abâ€" stract principles of civil and religious 1ihcrty,--celebrated their annual union of the churches. Each of these bodies sent deputatiens to the other. The Presbyterian with his “overtures” and arariety of other things there a-nent, condescended to recognize the unctuous fervor of his iilethodistic brother and the Arminiao, while exhibiting the penant ofa free and a; wide salvation, regarded his more circumscribed brother of the “ covenant ” as a fellow laborer. Without exception the various bodies or sects referred to have a common currency by which success is represented. Its constituent parts, are members, min- isters, and mosey.

That charity which “ en. dareth ali things ” had ample scope for its exercise. In this instance as in all oihers where it. is permittei} to not in accordance with its own nature it “ never faiieth.” Several ministers of the Primiiirel Methodist. body were received, as min- isters, by the Presbyterian body. It was remarked that. though these gentle- men were not up the standard of literary excellence which the rule demands,they 5 were possessed of popular preachingl ability. Is this an admission on the part of the Assembly that the fervent eloquence of niethodism is a popular aubetitntc for the metaphysical jargon of the catechism. ? We notice with regret that the vener-l ahle Dr. Byerson should have forfeited l his well earned title of “astute poli-E tician,” with which brother Aikcus rc-E eently distinguishel him in his corres i pondeuce with the HonWth. Mcdougnll. [ It is remarkable that before so august} l i I an assembly as a Wesleyan Cunfcrencc, any man should have the boldness to say that the legislature had set aside 1, $00,000 acres of the best land in Maui- tobah for the‘praetical endowment of the Roman Catholic Church, and that twelve priests of that sect were attach. ed to the espeditionary force now en route for that colony, but from a mun1 iike Dr. Byerson, who does know much 1 better; such a statement is astounding. The Dr. is at liberty to express any «pinion he chooses in reference to the treatmcnt which Mr. Punshou’e letter recieved at the hands of the Minister at Militia. That is merely a matter of taste, but the other is a question at fact which the Dr. has, we fear, willful, 3y misstated. In a resume of the meeting of the cc- clesiastical hierarchies, mention must be made of the councii now in session on the banks of the Tiber, which was desâ€" ignated by one of the speakers in To- -e .: LLA‘) k‘A‘. A‘A“ ,, wonto, as a gathering of “old bachelor-8.”! The fathers, as they love to be calledâ€" in humble imitation, we presume, of1 their reverend predecessors who “loved l the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the: chief seats in the synagogues, and greet- 1. ings in the markets, and to he called of ‘ men Rabbi, Rabbi.” It nppeare to have been predetermined, that the current (Ecumenical Council should promulgate the dogma. of the Pope’s infallrhility. Such proclamation will not strengthen the faith of the believer, nor will it be regarded as furnishing any additional {fidenee f: the cisd a! the dunks?" ECCLESIASTICAL iThose who believe that the Pope is thei “mat of six.” and that Rome is that; :grcet city Bahvion, which shad be i thrown down and which shall be found? ino more at all ” find 3 unfirmation of ' their taith 1n the assumption of infn’li- - bility. Those who like the great massi of the Roman Catholics, accept clerical; ‘ prescriptions as a cure for moral male-l “dies are quite indifierent about the ape-1‘ eific ingredients of faith, and those whoi conmndc with the late Lord Macceeiey‘ i that for political and intelectnal free ; dom and for all t-he blessings rabies .1-po i . .111c111 and 1ntclectnal freedom have i bronrvht 1n the‘ '1: train, England 13 chief filly indebted to the great rebellion of i the lsity against. the priesthood” have - i much more faith and hope in the Pope’s L. i mortality, than in his infallihility, The records of these eee icsiasti- cal gatherings are deeply interesting. They furnish evidence of the character of the spirit which is in them. They afford the material by which comparisons can be instituteti, as between apostolic proceeciure and modern practice, besides this they afford a picture of the life and manners of such as profess to be “sent” upon an important Spiritual embassy. Wellington, Grey 85 Bruce M Our readers are aware that the town. ships of Maryborough and Minto, in the County of Wellington, and of Howick in the County of Huron, agreed on their part to contribute certain sums of money, as bonuses, to aid in the construction of the Wellington, Grey 6:. Bruce Rail- way, the said company agreeing on the other part to complete so much of the, said Railway by a certain day. In consequence of some unwillingness on the part of the contractors to proceed beyond Fergus, and probably for other reasons which we don’t know, and do not care to inquire into, the Directors found it to be impossible to keep faith With the ratepayers of the townships named, consequently they asked for an extension of the time limited by the. terms of the original agreement. That extension has been granted, in each case, by large majorities. In aid of the same Railway, and to secure its extension through the County of Bruce, that County has provided a bonus of $9.50,, 000. The validity of the ByoLaw ml ing been questioned, and the authority! of the courts invoked to set it aside, hasl resulted in a confirmation of the By- Law. So far then the Wellington, Grey 32-. Bruce Railway Co. have a- free course before them. \Vith a handsome, aggregate, contribution in the way of bonuses, a route remarkable for easy gradients, a fertile and well settted country to pass through, and the interest- ed practical assistance of the Great Western Railway Company to back} them up, there ought not to be any dif-j ficulty in the way of giving complete-l aess to the entire project in 3 compare? tively short space of time. “Is have been informed that the contract has Ebeen implemented and that the cou- l tractor is a man of means and energy-â€" l. both indispensable elements of success. l The people of the County of Grey are l, deeply interested in the success of this undertakingâ€"though the main line will gass, at varying distances, beyond our western limitsâ€"Mcauso it will give shape to other projects for the accom- modation of the whole area indicated in the name of the Wellington, Grey and Bruce Railway.

In the minutes of Bentlnek Coun- cil reported for the Chronicle and pub- lished some time ago, there appears an item which perhaps had better be no. tieed, lest the Clerk might be suspected of suffering from some mental Mange.

Among the items, Mn Ashhury was! paid {our dollars for making cofin for: an indigent person named Bulger, who had died suddenly at the house of Mr. Cook, and Mr. Cook was allowed eleven dollars for expenses incurred in burying the same. Then the facetious Clerk says in parenthisis that the Doctors were not allowed anything for “killing him.” One person here openly declares that the Clerk never did it, that it was suggested by the Chief Magistrate him. lsclf, an idea which {regard as motor- N ow Mr. Editor, lest the report might get abroad that the Clerk of Ben- tinck still continues to keep “apart- ments to let” in a certain story not nec- essary to mention after it is known that be inserted such an item; I take this opportunity of saying that its (lotto, that he is at present in splendid con- dition, having as large a share of ration- al ability as generally pertains to town. ship ofioers, that since that period he has had the good fortune to place him- self under judicious medical treatment, and at present is enjoying the fruits of that fortunate circumstance, free from pain or ache, with no symptoms of men- tal abberation, and not likely to insert any more such items in the minutes of Council.

Everything is quietin the settlement. No military movements going on, except a small force of caval- ry drilling near Fort Garry. The peo- ple have evidently concluded that a free amnesty will be granted to Biel and his followers and supporters. The New Nation quotes Minister Thornton’s declaration to. the United States Gov- ernment that the Canadian expedition was a peaceful one, to support the belief that no hostility is intended against any portion of persons in the Red Riv- er country. The following is an extract from a long editorial in the New Natz'ortzâ€" Our action as British subjects has been such as will with calming down of pre- judice and excitement, and with cool investigation, prove to the world that we are worthy of the name of Britons. Base insinuations have been thrown out by Ontario journals that our real ob- ject was annexation to the United States. This we throw back in their face with the scorn and contempt it de- serves, and we can well do so, as after- investigation will prove. The Mw Nation says the delegates from Ottawa are expected to arrive at Fort Garry about. June, the 7th, and on their arrival something of an oflicial character will be laid before the people of lied River as to what concessions Canada has granted them. That it will remain for the Red ltiver peOple to ac- cept or reject the terms, and it is heped and believed the concessions are such as to bring about a. happy settlement of all difficulties. From parties daily arriving from Red River country We learn that it is generally believed no armed resistance will be offered, if the amnesty is extended to Riel and his sup- porters; but if the amnesty be notgraut‘ ed him, he may at a late hour raise a force and make a fight. From an occasional correspondent atl the Red River Settlement, we have just learned that Riel is about conven- ing his Legislature, to consider the re- port to be brought by Father Bichott in regard to his mission. The English1 members who have been forced to at- ‘ tend hitherto, in order to avoid Scott’s fate, are now becoming belder since I they have heard of the sympathies ear I pressed in Canada, and will refuse alto- gether to attend if anything Jikc an am- nesty is part of the Northwest policy. Riel declares he has been promised this, and that undoubtedly Richott has it with him. Fear that this is really the case is producing a desire for annexation or anything else which will free them from their present miserable state. i mief Clerk John Vlcl m lab is in full charmmt Garth in place of Dr; Gowau, who was lately in charge and who prlicly declaled that.

BishOp Tache had paid a Visit to theI Swampy Indians, who have been threat- ening Riel, with a view to pacify them by telling them that they must respect existing authority. Heuiy Prariee, their Chief, who is the son of the celeo brated‘ "G‘eguie," replied as follows :â€" “Although we are Indians, we have been taught that when one man steals an are from anotherls door, the thief.; will be punished, and that if one man killed another, the murderer would be hung, and how is it that you ask us to respect these men who have done both.” Tue Bishop abruptly closed the Coun- cil, during which, we believe, the Chief objected to smokng the “calumet” or peace pipe. SAINT CLOUD, June 18.-Father Ric- hott with his colony of French Canadi- ans passed through here on their way to Fort Abercrombie and the Red Riv- er on the 7th June. The Father de- clared that everything was settled and that all was new peace. Up to the 11th ,eleven cases of Feni- ll an arms had arrived by rail from Saint ‘ Paul, and were being forwarded by the old Crow Wing route to lled River. i A considerable quantity of provisions were also arriving, and a number of . lriah, with no apparent occupation, were . lounging about the streets of the town. I Opinion is divided as to the route which these parties will take, for itis fully belies ed that their object is to in- r tercept the expedition, and that maybe done by leaving the Crow W' tng road at Crow Wing City, transporting the arms by wagon to Gull and Leech Lakes over the Government Indian road, and thence by canoe to Red Lake, and from Red Lake by water and portages to the southern shore of the Lake of the Woods or down the Red Lake River, which is unobstructed by rapids into the Redl River at that point, only 80 miles south 9 of Pembina. In this last case, these: arms and supplies would have to pass by Fort Ripley, a U. S. post on the Up- per Mississippi, and the troops which . are now stationed at Pembina. These parties are said to he communicating with O'Donohue, and not with the Presi- dent, Riel being engaged just now in doing the loyal dodge and scheming to _ save his own neck.

Nor can we expect to con- quer all the difiicnlties by one effort, strong and resolute though that effort be. “Life is but a strife,” a continual never-ending strife, and we must bring to bear against its great army of doubts, fears, and disconragements, patience, perseverance, hope, these, supported by faith, and all wielding that mightiest of weapons, prayer, will triumph in the conflict,-â€"surely, gloriously triumph. “Never give up.” Every thing can be accomplished by the energy of a reso- l‘ute will.

He can see nothing in the contest in 'Cuba that constitutes war in the sense of International Law. Says he, in describing the present state of that country :â€" The Insurgents hold no town or cityâ€" l have no established seat of Government ; they have no Prize Court, no organiza-t tiou for the receiving or collecting of revenue" no seaport to which the prize "may ‘be granted, or through which access? can be had by a foreign power to the ‘ limited interior territory and mountain fortresses which they Occupy. The existence of a legisiature representing! any popular constituency is more than doubtful. In the uncertainty that hengs‘ around the entire insurrection, there is‘ no probable evidence of an election 01 any delegated authority of any gorern- ment Outside the limits of the. camps oc- cupied from day to day, by the ibo‘t‘ing companies of insurgent. troops. There is no commerce, no trade; either inter- [nal or foreign, and no manufactures. His decision in this case is of impor- t tance, because from his ruling on it thel world has expected to be able to comel‘ to some 'conc'lusion as to the policy of the United States Government on such I matters. In scarCely a single point does the case seem to meet that of the; Confederates. Grant cannot recognize‘ the Cubans because they hold no town l or cityâ€"the Confederates held many ; the Cubans have no Seat of Govern- mentâ€"the Confhd‘erates had; the Cu~ bans have no Legislatureéthe Confeder- ates had. The inference legitimately to 1 Ebe drawn from all this is that if the? Cubans held a. {oi-tn or city, and had a Legislature and Seat of Government, Grant might possibly feel justified in recognizing them. But the Confederates had all theSe, and in addition had the recOgnition of the Washington Gorern~ ment; yet Yankeedom is angry with Great Britain for joining in the recog- nition.
