The National Association which has been formed for tho purpose of securing an amendment to tho Constitution to in dicate that this is a Christian nation, and place all Christian laws, institutions and usages in onr Government on an undeni able legal basis in the fundamental law of the nation, invites all American citizens who favor syeli an amendment, without distinction of party or. creed, to meet iu Thoius' Hall, Cincinnati, on Wednesday, Jan. 31, 1872, at 2 o'clock, P. M. If the people were now framing a new Constitution, wc would earnestly hope that Almighty God, from whom human government primarily d wives its authori ty, would be distinctly acknowledged as its soutce. lint wc are not convinced of the duty or expediency of agitating the subject now, on a basis tli it would prac tically exclude, from participation in the Government, of Jews, Unitarians ind all those of foreign religious who may be come naturalized or native citizens. No man could, with a good conscience, swear to uphold a Constitution which affirms what he from his soul rejects and denies. The fundamental principle of thirt movement is defined by Mr. Justice Strong, of the Supreme Couit of the United States, the President of the Af sociation, in these words pnblised over his own name : "Iu constituting and administering its government, a nation is under obligations to acknowledge God as the author of its existence and the- source of it authority, Jesus Christ as its ruler, and the Uibleai the fountain of its laws and the supreme rule of its co duct.' This movement has seemed to us to be urged under a conception of the nature and office of civil government not in har mony with the American idea, nor the Scriptural idea. When the Apostle said. "The powers that be are ordained of Gbd," the civil government was very far from acknowledging God and his" Son aud the Bible. But it was ordained of God, nevertheless. Ihe absolute despotism of Caesar or the Czar may be as truly or dained of God as Grecian democracy or Anieiican Republicanism.

Instead, therefore, of emending lean strength and affitatin? the COIliitrv iii a fruitless ffort to amtnd the v..t;i. - vvnviim- tiou in this relation, we would make still greater exertions, -and deeper and wider agitation, and summon the whole moral force of the nation to secure the enact ment of wholesome laws and to create a public sentiment, a popular virtue, that III. . t " a ' win sustain unu tntorce Ihrm.

TIIK PRKSBYTKRY ANT) P.rv - x. , Washington, ox this Sitiuict. 1 he following correspondence between he "1'resbytery of the Eastward" and George Washington, is dated shortly after the adoption of the Constitution. It was tuken froli the Massachusetts Sentinel of December 5, 1789. "Iho l'rcsbvterv of the Kiiiv.J convenedal New bury port, in theiraddress to the President of the United States in his late tour says: 'Among the objec tions to the federal Constitution we never considered the want of a religious test that grand engine of persecution in every tyrant's hand. But we should no: have been alone in rejoicing to have seen some explicit acknowledgement of the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom he has srn, inserted somt where in the Magna Chart a of onr country. We are happy to find, however, that this defect has been amply remedied in the face of all the woild by the piety and devotion in which your first public act of office was per formed, by the religious obaerrancc of the Sabbath, and of the public worship of ' tiou, ot .winch yon have set so eminent an example, and by the warm strains of Christian and devout affections which run through your late proclamation for a general Thankgiving.' "lo the Ministers and Ruling Elders dele gdtcd to repnsent the Churches in Mas sachusetts and New Hampshire, which compose the first Presbytery of the Eastward. "Gentlemen: The afftctionatc welcome which you aro pleased to give me to the eastern parts of the Union would leave me witlnuit excuse, did I fail to acknowl edge the sensibility which it awakens and to express tho most sincere return that a grateful sense of your gnodmss can sng- teost. " I o be approved by the praiseworthy is a wish as natural to becoming ambition, as its const qui nce is flattering to our self-love. '4 am, indeed, much indebted to tl e favorable sentiments which you entertain toward me, aud it will be my duty to study to deserve them. ."The tribute of thanksgiving, which yon offer the gracious Father of Lights, for His inspiration of our publie coune Is with wisdom and firmness to complete the national Constitution, woithy of mtn who, devoted to the pious purposes of re ligion, desire their accomplishment by such means ss advance the tcmjo al hap piness of their fellow-men. "And here, I am persuaded yon will permit me to observe .that the path of true piety is so plain as to icquirc but little political direction. "To this comideratiwtt wc ought to as cribe the absence of any regulation re specting religion from the Magna Charta of our country. T the guidance of the ministers of the Gospel this important object is perhaps more proparly commit wit ted. It will be your care to instruct the ignorant and to reclaim the devious. And in the pi ogress of morality and sci ense, to which our oveniiuctit will give every furtherance,, we may confidently expect the advancement ot true rt ligion and the completion of our happ'ness.

The second volume of "Systematic Theology," by the venerable Dr. Charles Hodfrc, who is just closing the fiftieth vear of his Profcssorhip at PrincelonJ Theological Seminary, has just been is sued by i harles Scribaer & Co. It com prises the two subjects, Anthropology and Soteriology; or the Origin, Nature, Original State and Fall of Man ; togeth er with the Plan of Salvation, the Per son at.d Work of Christ, a full discus sion of the s abject of the Atonement, in all its bearings, and of the doctrine ot Grate. From this brief mention, it will be seen that the scope ef this volume Is one of aniversal interest lm all student, f the Bible, and especially to all who i 5 u caned lueolognaJ study. Ai examination of the voJoww show, that bnder the bead of tho Origin of Man, thi distinguished Professor has taken ap the most noteworthy theories of those wbortject the Bible accooct: such a Spontaneous Generation, and the l)e etopment theories of modern sceptics. Another chapter discusses the subject ot the Unity J of the Human Usee. Jbe chapter on Sin is a thorough lisctHsion of the various theories adopted by the different schools. The major i part of the volume is de voted to the;subjrct ot Salvation through Chnst, the QrigiJSpf the Plan, the Cove nant of Grace, tffe Person of Christ a branch of the subject which is made more imporfaut by the discasaious of the present day; the Mediatorial work, the I rophetic, Priestly and Kingly offices 2o portion of the work will be read or studied with more interest than that which has been so much tho atndw f tl.. u i author's lifefi reUting to the Atonement. lBC Btyeci Has not lot lti interest while there is oue inuer to be saved, nor while there is a ransomed soul in heaven to praise God for salvation. a The Publishers announce (he third volume, ou the reneral aubiaL f a tare Slue and the Future World. .. soon to be published. This will coropltte the work. Its publication is a fitting memorial on the part of Dr. IIrW m the completion of his hJf ceiiimy of teaching in Princeton Seminary.

The readers of the Observer arc aware that it is proposed oy tne graaniles and friends of Prince ton to raise the sum of OflO tn ntn. the Professorship which Dr. Hodge now holds; uot for his benefit, f ,r he must ere long retire from his later, but in com- inernoralion ot the distinguished aervirra which he has rendered to Ilia Fatiaf. rf 1 Ncoloeical Education in tho l'mkrin. a- -- - - w-w a " a- j a V lian Church and ihmughout the Christian woiu i .,uojerrcr.

Alihongh he will lend his best energies for ihe Re publican candidate lor President, even if it is the unscrupulous man now in power, his ever ready pen and mind will hereaf ter advocate that policy which will unite cv. ry wjng of the Republican party, and more especially will his energies be de voted to tho uncertain political aspect of Pennsylvania. ; Dig ttcs to the National Convention. i The New York delegation his secured ample accommodations at the Cincinnati Hotel during the meeting of the Republi can Convention. The spacicm ladies' parlor of this j hotel will be their head quarters. When the Hon. Alono B. Cornell, whowiIl head a portion of the delegation, was asked, " How many will be here?" he smilingly replied, "Oh, I don't know ; there will be several dele gations." !, , "How will the majority vote ?"' inquir ed our friend. , limber seriously the dis tinguished New, Yorker replied, 44 I cau'l tell ; thiii's are; awfully mixed." Hon. J. B. Giiunrll will lead a power ful force from Iftwa. The bc-idquailers of this delegation are also at the inciutiati.

"Ant one but Grant," said a prominent politi cian from Lynn' county of that Western Mate. H. In Cincicn ti'a good deal of feeling has been excited ia regard to the course pur sued by the authorities in relation to ihe Rev. Stephen Morgan, a young Baptist Clergyman who was couvicied u the po- a - . ... lice court of stealing books from the Pub- lie Library. I( appears that the friends of the accused brought a powerful infla- I rncc to bear to save him from ihe cousc qnancrs of his crime. The Trustees of j the Library sllege thst the Piotecuting' Attorney refused to summon the witness- ! rs they mished lo have examined, and it Is certain that this official, instead cf ur ging the prisoner's guilt, made his speech an earnest defence of the man he was sup posed to be prosecuting. And the Judge, although he imposed a fine of twenty-five dollar on the clerical culprit, at the same time informed Mr. Morgau that he need not pay the penalty. The tuort unpleas ant part of the affair is that Morgan stout ly protests his iiunocencr, and ays he merely boriowtil the looks, which were all of a theological character, and intend ed to return them ; when he had not only Carried them off stealthily in a carp t-bag but had careliilly removd the Library labels, aud erased every imrk by which be supposed tuey could be identified. : It is said lint while Prince Frederick Chit lea was iu l Petersburg, lately, the Germau residents presented him wkb au adJress.
