Mr.. EARLY, at Virginia, offered resolution 10 The
aiirc thnI tue Conference Will not receive cieniori-
ais on which z ACTON is desires or expected.

nothing tut Necessity would drive her intn such
measure; hut il division shu.id come IN const-
quence ul the Abolition agitn' Oh, lei lie rrsponSl-
bility rest with those who sought ~ disturb ctr
ueace. He wanted the Conference 10 meet the
question openly, that the South might know what
10 depend upon.
Mr. RoBlSsoS, Of the Maine Conference, denied
that those who had presented petitions against The
election OF Save-hoding Bishop had said ttay
wanted no action on the suhJect. They did desire
that action should be taken by the Conference.
DR.. BORNE, Of Alabama, said il had been ds-
linctly avowed by members of The Committee on
Slavery, that they desired no action 10 be taken on
this subjec, and that the petitions were intended 10
influence members in their course Us individuals.
Bishop SoULE here made u few reinarHs, the Pur-
port of which was, that every member who pre-
scented memorial, took upon himself the response
bility of asking the action OF The Conference 10
offer petitions with any other view was an insult 10
the body which he did not believe could come from
New-England, the land Of his birth. II was TO be
taken for granted that action was desired on every
memorial presented to the Conference.
Mr.. WINASs, Of Mississippi, said he was q South
ern man-an extreme Southern man-and ne be-
eved the memorials intended Tor serious effect.
We were bound to believe that those who signed
these petitions spoke their sentiments lie claimed
that all memorials should be heard, and candidly
and fairly considered Why object to their recep-
toni Ifthey were important they could not accu-
mulate too FAST if unilnporant, their number could
do no harm. For his own part, he shrunk from no
inveegation-he was prepared TO meet every ques-
ton fairly in the teeth-and he hoped that all OBJ
jccIions TO the reception OF the petitions would he
Withdrawn voted down.
DR.. PIERCE, of Georgia, reiterated the statements
previously made, as TO what had ranspired IN the
Committee on Slavery, insisting that IL had been
distinctly avowcd that action was desired III rca-
ton TO lie election of Shareholders 10 office.
Mr.. ROBINSON of Name, repeated his denial that
any such avowal had been made, and several other
Northern delegates confirmed his statement.
Several members here attempted TO obtain the
floor and great confusion prevailed; but MIR. CART
WRIGHT, Of Illinois, succeeded IN making himself
heard over all competitors. He begged brethren
not to 90 off a, half cock. Several of those who had
spoken had told Us they were very cool but ii they
were iron and had fallen into the Water he thought
there would be some fzzins! This whole Discus
sion was premature. Ii would be time enough 10
quarrel over this subject when the COMMITTEE
should make their Report. Perhaps the whole
matter could all be knocked out in Committee. lie
hoped they would not blink the question, and IT
they must quarrel that they would DO II like COM
pany OF Methodist minister's
This speech was spiced with so much coed
humer that it excited no little merrlmcnt and the
subject was disposed oiby luying the resolution Oh
Mr.. Early on the table.
The presentation Of petitions, reports OF COM
mittees resolutions, sc. was then rcsus,ed:
DR.. CAPEES presented the Report OF The Publish
ing Committee of the Southern Christian Advocate,
from which it appeared that the paper had 3,dUo
paying subscribers, and was III prosperous cohdi-
ton.
MIR. WINNER, of New Jersey, offered 4 resolution
proposing 80 10 alter the Discipline IS 10 provide
thai the agents of lie Book Concern shall RETAIN
Ihelr membership in the several Conferences 10
which they ma, belong IT the time OF felr epPoih,'
