Of tho proceedings and results of
the Lambeth Conference, so far as
they were Intended to be madp pub
lie, you are already well informed.
That meeting will, I believe, bo here
after considered as marking an ora
in Christianity. It brought together,
from all parts of the world, the retire
presentativeaof that great and rapidly
inereatiiur communion on which, un
dor Ood. tho primitive nnd 1 mad tilt a
rated uoapel ol Christ seoms uiuinly
ro rest for its preservation and diffu
sion.
The principles which they set forth
in their pastoral letter and their reso
lutions, and in which they concurred
with such remaikable unanimity, are
those which can, and which alone can,
efloclually shield the Divine Truth
from rasa and ruinous unbelief on the
one hand, and perhaps, scarcely leaa
ruinous innovation and corruption on
the other.
Amid considerable adversities of
opinion, frankly expressed, and with
dignified courtesy andgreuit ability
maintained, it was yet very encourag
ing to see "how absolutely tbo "One

there is every ground to hope lor their aocceas.
and, cnwseoHently, fori great beneflt to the
colored people of tbe Slate and) directly to its
entire population.
Wot to tlwiii too long on subject wbKia 1
have repeatedly discussed in my Annual ad
dre.se., it is evident that but three results are
possible in regard to the colored peopl". They
must receive right telignsis iostructkin, they
must receive wrong nahgto-is instrnciwa, or.
they must receive no "veliirions instruction

THE DOUBLE-DEALING CHICA
GO PLATFORM.
From tbe New .York Times, (Bep.)
In certain other reajsecta the plat-,
form sounds ironically. Declarations
in favor of a rapid redaction or taxa.
tion and lb strictest economy in tbe
administration of the Gavcrnment
are nnwaeaflable as abstract proposi
tions. Lvery man not fed at tbe pub
lie expense will bold up both hands
for ihem. lint . a Republican Con
vention in 1808 ought to hare been
able to present something more ef
fective that promises. 1 tie party has
been in power long enough to have
gathered a rich atore of performances.
It should have been ablo to m before
the country with a record of services
rendered in regard both to retrench
ment and taxation. Tha pnblic purse
haa been for yenrsuiltogether in ita
hands. It has had exclnatre manage

sivc power over the forma and amount
of taxation. How happens it, then.
that i u a platform intended to 6ot

denee it lias nothing better to offer
than resolves in favor of reforms -which
it haa obetinalely and culpably
