Excerpt from Address on the Acts and Deliverances of the General Assembly of the Old School Presbyterian Church: During the Past Five Years, on the State of the Country

In the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States, held in New York in 1862, the Committee to whom had been referred a number of papers on the state of the country, preface their Report, which was adopted as the action of the Church on the subject, with the remark, that in framing the resolutions, They have designed to leave no room for honest doubt, or even for invidious mis construction as to the hearty loyalty of this body to the Government of the United States. And further, There could have been no hesi tation under any circumstances in expressing now and always our car nest and abiding loyalty and devotion to our country, its Constitution and its laws, and to all its duly constituted authorities. Here follows a series of resolutions expressing their loyalty to the Government, their condemnation of the rebellion and hope for the speedy restoration of our beloved Union, while at the same time they avoided entering upon any narrow questions, which peculiarly belong to the domain of secular poli ties.
