During the annual conference Of the Me-
thodist Episcopal Church recently held in New
York, Conference Temperance Society
was formed on the plan recommended by the
founder Of Nethodism, The Rev. John Wesley
viz: not TO buy or sell spisituous liquor.
nor drink il, except in srfrrme cases. The
pledge was first signed by president Bishop
Hedding and then by all the preachers pre-
sent. This measure will, no doubt, be FOL
lowed by all the annual conferences, and
will have a salutary effect throughout the
Union.

that there is steady increase Of business

passengers, between Baltimore and Freder-

confidently believed, that before the road was

results, who can undertake to estimate the

The general outcry against Avery,
seems, now, to be changed into "curses

element naturally renewed against him
by the unexpected verdict Of acquital,
has a, length subsided into settled feel
ing Of indignation, both against him, and
his clerical adherents.
Bot does this feeling arise, chiefly.
from sympathy for the murdered victim
Or was the death ofthe criminal desired

criminal from feeling of resentment,
similar to that which is excited by a
deadly personal injury.
Now, at first sight, it appears to he q
dark, and depressing consideration, ,ha,
multitudes, Of all ages, should imbibc a
deep hatred of a fellow being. I, is
said, therefore, with some plausibili,y,
that this feeling should not be INDUCED
in, even against the most abandoned. but
that in reprobating the conduct of a
criminal, we should have no other feeling
than regard for justice, and for human
welfare, as il resentment were in every
case criminal. This doctrine is received
almost at an axiom in morals and nf-
fords fine theme, both for the young

considers the passion Of anger fair
and broad mark to shoot at and for the

He was charged with being luke-warm
that is: He is far more dignifed and

is not so lavish Of anathomas as the
