before he attempted 10 impeaCh Jackson
without a hsaring--it was before he
Knocked old Gen. Smith, and made him

seven OF The voters every time he was q

had cas-! him off at Harrisburg, as not a.

his failure 20 years ago, and every time

WHIo CoNssTENCY.-At the same
time that the wings are contending, with
all their might, that tariff on goods
does not increase their price, they are
asserting that The duty imposed by the
present tariff upon wool has greatly in
creased its price, and are calling upon
the wool growers to support the advo.
cate ora high tariff because in this par
ticular they are benefited by il.
Now, the democrats contend that q
high tariff does increase the prices Of the
articles upon which it is levied; and they
think, with Col, Polk that sit is the du,
ty of the government to extend, as far as
it may be practicable TO do SO, by its rev.
snue laws aud all other means within lis
power, fair and just protection 10 all the
great interests of The IOhOle Union, en-,
brscing agriculture, manufactures, the
mechanic arts, commerce and naviga-
ton" And this principle they endenvor
20 carry out in the legislative halls: while
the wings strive 10 confne the protection
almost exclusively to manufactures, and
10 make all other Interests and occupa-
ions subssrvsnt 10 few wealthy mans
ufaclursrs. The following article from

employ the great constitutional provision reauir-

representatives, for the constitutional object of

which they have yielded render their conduct still
more reprehehsTtfe.
For Instance, when the an-republican establish
ment at w est Point was under discussion, north

80 OF the navy. The North has no occasion for
navy. The revenue cutters render all the SER
vice we require But no effort is successful to re-
duce It's lnordnate expense. Mr.. Holmes said,
during the debate ON the navy appropriation,
Let us make this nation respectable; let us pro-
tect the North in her shipping interests, the West
IN her commerce or her agriculture (for her agri-
culture depended upon her commerce,) and last,
not least, h'S great southern Institution, uhich as

great national question like this to be lost sight of

Ty-a6oM an expenditure Of five millions Of DOL
lars?
In vain, now, is any attempt to reduce the navy
Another case The country knows the executive
administration, with which the Wing party and
the Wing Senate have cursed the country, is per-
tectly reckless in its determination to secure the
annexation of Texas, and war if needfuI. We
know, from the manner in which the fund for
building and repairs was expended last year, the
whole appropriation being expended before the
close of the second quarter, that the executive is
none too good to expend the whole appropriation
for the entire navy in three months, in mad prank
that may afford hope of promoting either annex
alton at or war To apply "A check to this, the
House, in committee of the whole, voted restric-
ton, prohibiting the expenditure of more than one
half of the appropriation previous to January next.
But the slave influence has adroitly managed to
get that restriction rejected whenthe bill was be-
fore the House, and now the entire revenue ofthe
country is turned over to Mr.. Tyler without one
particle OF effective restraint

Methodist General Conference,

we know of no one event in this country that
mas gwen so decisive proof of the progress now
making by the whole community in ant-slavery
sentiments, as the course of the General confer
ence OF the Methodist Episcopal church, now sit
ting In New York. The solemn and quiet firm
ness with which the northern delegates have march
ed forward to their object, and the meek patience
with which they held their peace under the
unmeasured misrepresentation and vltupera-
lions mat have been heaped upon them by the
sIaveholding Methodist preachers, Tshades of Yves
ley, only think has given the movement an as
pect of moral sublimity, This conference affords
ne hrst instance in our country, of any considera-
pie oody OF people, either religious or secular,
VINO nave gone so far in meeting the demands of
the anti-slavery cause, deliberately to sacrifice
one OF their chiefs to the cause. There is hardly
anything more trying to our people than to call
mem to give up, for conscience sake, an idOLized
man. This the Methodist conference have done, &
have done it with a calm deliberation and a kind
ness OF manner that must convince every candid
person-even the Victinl-that they have done it
consclen:ously-onlyin obedience to the stern de-
mands of duty. The moral effects of this transac-
ton must be very great.
Its moral effects will reach far beyond the anti
slavery cause, and effect both the constitution and
influence OF the M. E. Church, and the progress
ol christianity itself, in more ways than we have
now time to mention, or even capacity to foresee.
us bearings on the relation of the bishops to the
General Conference, the tenure of their office, and
the extent OF their powers and immunties, can
hardly yet be foreseen. The emancipation of the
clergy from the benuming terrorS of overseerism,
the restoration of fraternal unity among those
northern preachers who, by the chicanery of the
Shareholders, have been for ten years alienated
from each other, the feeling of freedom to prose-
cute their work which cannot but spring in their
minds, warrant the hope that great spiritual bles-
sings will be granted upon that branch of the Re-
deemer's family.
There is one circumstance, which detracts, in
lence which would otherwise belong to the trans
achon--that is, the admission on the part of so
many OF the northern delegates, that they have no
charge to make against BshopAndrew. There is
high charge lying against him-as man and as
MethodIst-the CRIME of holding saves-of par

For the Green Mountain Freeman
TO the Candid,

Mr.. EDIToR:-l wish to propose few pIair
questions, and would request Christians and espe
cially ministers, who mean to obey Christ, to reaC
them with care, and to pray over them. Answer
them to your own hearts, and then net in view o.
them when you will also be judged.
/. Is American slavery sinful, contrary 20 the
law of God, and violation of the naienablt
rights of man?
= Is the church-the visible house of God-tc
be den of thieves, or habitation of hoIine S.
from which sinful practices are to be purged out?
j. II horse-stealerS and house-breakers ought to
be excluded from the church of God, why should
not shareholders be excluded also? Do YOU moi
believe that it is as bad to steal man as sheen
TO rob your brother of himself his all, as to rob
house?
a. If there are as good reasons for excluding op-
Pressors ana men-steaIers from the churches as
housebreakers, why is it that so MANY ministers
and churches are quite easy while they hold chris
tian fellowship with all the denominations of slave
ry. but are excited and displeased the moment anv
effort is made to cast slavery out of the house Of
God. Brethren, what does this meant There

sy among you on this subject. Will YOU, in the
presence of God, look at the whole process as de-
Veioped in our churches before the ungody, in the
presence Of Him who walks among you? MY
heart is sick within me! Where is the light emit
ted from our church. " Jerusalem, wash thine
heart from wickedness that thou mayest be saved
How long shall vain thoughts lodge within thee?'
In vain will you cry, The Temple of the Lord, if
you provoke the Holy One to leave you with op-
pressors and murderers Put away from among
you every wicked thing. Cast out slavery, and
every other thing that defiIeth the church. Let
right hands go-cleanse the Temple-cast out the
sordid money-changers-et all go; let all that
name the name of Christ depart from iniquity.-
Surely, those who bear the vessels of the Lord
should be clean. AN OLD MAN.

The Real Question.

The slave states have long made support TO their
peculiar Institutions an Indispensable qualification
Tor office in the general government. Every can
ddate has to be closely scrutinzed before he can re-
ceive the support of either the Wing or democrat
&c party When will the free states wake I'D TO
this fact? The N. 0. Bee says, in reference to
Mr.. Frelinghuysen's nomination.
$ we call particular attention to this statement.
winch shows conclusvely that Theodore F'reling-
huysen owes his nomination to the votes of the
slaveholdrg States-a sufficient guarantee, if any
were needed Of his soundness on all subjects az
JectanS southern rights and southern institutions
:, Agaln:-The correspondent Of the New York
Express, an influential wbig paper, says the south
ern delegation to the National Convention, went
for Frenghuysen for Vice President to prevent
John Davis whose course in the Latmer case
whilst Governor of Massachusetts, made him OBJ
nOxious TO the South
When Gov Davis refused to give up George
Latiner, the wings pointed to the fact as clear ey
Idence of wing opposition to the slave power;
now he is politically beheaded for that very act
and by that same party. Strange the abolitonists
won't trust wing professions!
