Mr. Hardman 'sensed to rye spat his norm
the nece.sity of setae sympathy with the dine saes
who had spent the beet part of their lives is the service
of the people. Were they to be absadsued to the wide
world when the snows of winter were severing their heads ?
He for one *odd not, he would not, do so. Having avowed
himself as the anther of several articles whie't had almond
in the Wesleyan Ties.. under the signature of X.Y.Z., he
concluded by moving the menthes
Mr. SAMUEL HEWITT asseaded the resolution. He
entered at some length into the fundamental principles of
methodism, and characterised the recent proceedings of con-
tenses is regard to Maus. Dunn, Everett, mad Griffith, as
contrary to such principle., sad mimeo' to legality and
jade..—Before the resolution wee pus to the mewing, Mr.
Chas. Searwell rose to speak. Intim* a wising toterrup-
ties enned, sad several gentleman ea the *dorm sur-
rounded Mr. Southwell, and &wily admit Ira es sit dawn;

public nee, he had a right Omer berms the resolute& wee
put. The uproar madomeL Mr. Senkwell the. aa-
seenced rat he sympathised with the riled of the meeting.
It was in vain, however, oat repeated cries of " tun him
oat" being raised, Mr. Serkwell was dragged bodily from
the patient and throe eat of doors. The resoled= was
then put and carried, with s Gig dissentients.
Mr. WILLIAM MARTIN was called upon to mere the
second reseistion
" That this means des*y regrets the proceedings of the
Wesleyan Carman in she expulsion of the Bees. James
Everett, Sawn Dan, sad William Griffith, jute., believing
it to be at variance with the law of Christ."
Mr. Martin had hardly risen before Mr. Chrutherell,
who had gone round to the front entrance cot the building,
was heard at the other end of the room protesting, mina
the present proceedings, es violation of ell public right sad
justice. Another acne of Jadeite disorder arose, and amidst
mingled hooting, blueing, and yelling, the chairman, at the
suggestion of a person in ths body of the room, gave out the
verge of a hymn which was sung to the tens of the old
hundred. During the singing, we believe, Mr. Soethwell
was again excluded, and order having been at length restored
Mr. Martin commenced speaking. He dissented altogether
from** opinion which had ben examen by Mr. Osborn.
that the Wesleyan methodists and the public lad nothing
to do with the question: is their corporate capacity the
Wesleyan conference ought to do nothing that the wide
worli cught not to know. It was considered right to inter.
fere between the Bishop of Easter and the Rev. Mr. Shot*,
because to bishop had most grossly outraged and abused
his power, and be (the speaker held it as a Christian and
meal right to see that perfect Justin was done to men in
their public capacity. An infusion of new blood wu wanted
la the c inference, in order that the mirrors themselves sad
the laity might be protected. They loved their ministers,
but it could not be denied that in their corporate capacity
there was a danger of the ministers abusing the power whin
was yard in their hands; and in the cue of Messrs.
Everett, Dana, and Griffith, it had been abused. He did not
defend the "Fly-sheets," but be thought that the conference
had not acted well with regard to thus. If the " Flysheets"
contained lies, the lies should have been proved ; bet if they
contained statements of abuse which did exist, these abuses
the conferences ought to have beet determined to rectify at
coos sad for ever. (Hear.) At a nestles is the Oderd-rued
School, on the prises Pridey night, Mr. °short' had
said, " if any man di-seats feces me conscientiously,
that man ought to retire from the connexion ; he can.
not be en holiest man and entertain views different to
those I have negated." (Shame.) He thought he was
right La the main as to the quotations. (A Vass "The
roans why Mr. Percival Beating could not prove that
Mr. Everett was the author of the • F.y Sheets,' we.
beanie the person who knew it, sad told him wee dead
and in heaven.") Mr. Martin continued that he did not
think Mr. Osborne's Manta= wen unkind or viadictive,
but he (she wreaker) hod a sort el life interest in inethodiun,
and would oat leave It. (Hear.) He would be obedient to
it. law, but if anything sprang up opposed to the law of
Christ he would vitae it to the last. He advised no din&
notion of class, missionary, or other subscription, on the
part of the members of society who sympathised with the
expelled, hut to support metkoMem still to the fall extent of
their ability. The pecuniary assistance iven to Melllfs.
Dann, Everett, and Griffith, must be entirely *versed above
the usual sabearipdeas. In conclusieo, Mr. Martin exhorted
all to be imbued, r far m passible, with • feeling of love
and charity towards those with whom they might differ in
opinioa.
Mr. JOHN THOMPSON (Wesleyan) mewled the reee•
ticm. He denied the esrned ministers Sim Ste charge

been expelled as unjust and unicriptural, and smarted that
if they had ben judged by the law of 1777, they would still
have been mambas of the Walleyes materesee.
The resolution was then pat sad serried by a large ma-
ty.
