    pious , for us to make the attempt . The last topic in my learned friend ' s speech which 1 shall mention , is , that " simple error" ( by which , I presume , he mdans error which is believed to be truth ) is no crime . This , it seems , is Mr . Montgomery ' s opinion ; but it is not that of the Apostle Paul . In the 10 th chapter of the Epistle to the Romans , he says of

    the Jews , " For I bear them record , that they have a zeal of God , but not according to knowledge . " It is manifest , therefore , that the Jews were , in the judgment of the Apostle , in error . Their zeal was " not according to knowledge . " It is also manifest , that it was simple or honest error , for it was " a zeal of God : " and yet it was so far from being

    harmless , that the Apostle agaur declares , that "he could wish himself accursed from Christ , ( that is , separated from the public ministry of the word , ) on their account , if that might be the means of introducing them to the knowledge of Jesus . I trust , therefore , Sir , that you and this house will see that these overtures are liable to none of

    those objections charged upon them by my eloquent friend , that ^ they are not calculated to abridge our religious , much less our civil liberties . They do not interfere between a man and his God . They leave every man at liberty to choose for himself , to be fully persuaded in his own mind ; only they provide , that those who join the communion of

    the Synod should be persons of the same religion with its present members ; that in order to their walking together , all may he agreed . In conclusion , I lament that any unhandsome epithets should have passed from the one to the other side of the house . In this respect I freely acknowledge that the greater portion of blame has been on the orthodox

    side . We ought to hold the truth , nothing doubting ; and be ready to give an answer to any one that asketh a reason of the hope that is in us ; but we should do it in meekness and fear . Mr . S . then stated , that there were several topics , chiefly referring to Mr . Montgomery ' s speech of last year , of which he had taken down notes ; but he omitted them on account of the lateness of the hour , and because he knew they would be taken up by some others of his friends .

    It was now past three o ' clock , and , whilst a number of speakers presented themselves to ihe house , there were loud and continued criee of " Roll , roll . " Mr , Cooke said , that , as the assembly appeared to have made up their minds on this subject , he would willingly con ^

    sent to suppress his speech , if other gentlemen would do the same . There was some confusion for a few minutes , when " roll , roll , " was loudly repeated . The roll was then called on the Amendment , in favour of which , as stated in our number for August , there was a majority of 82 .

    By the Times of September 13 th , it appears , that a " tolerably numerous meeting of ministers and laity" belonging to the Synod , was recently held in Belfast for the purpose of determining what course should be pursued in con * sequence of the adoption of the overtures . After a discussion , in which

    Rev . Messrs . Montgomery , Porter , Blakeley , Nelson , &c , tpo ^ k part , a pommittee was appointed to draw up a Remonstrance to the Synod , subject to the revision and approbation of a general meeting , to be held in Belfast about the middle of October .
