We publish to-day the protest Of the Southern
Delegation in the General Conference OF the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church 1t marks, in our opinion the
most ominous and decisive event OF our times. The
Meth dist church has not been foremost in the aboli
ton agitation-far from n-and it has only first felt
the baelu influence Of that ianacism, because il
is more than the other denominations, absolutely and
nsan,aneously responsive to the opinions, preJudces,
or tender cies of the clergy The protest is written
with remarkable clearnes, ability, and that ust mix
lre Of moderation and Grmness that constitutes the
very ideal of State papers And it well deserves this
rank, for il makes epoch--the first dissolution
Of the Union.- Charleston Mercury.
We trust there will never be another epoch of the
kind second dissolution ofhs Union particularly a
dissolution of the States We should grieye TO see
one or more Of the States ruined and humbled in a
vain attempt to dismember the Union.

Not having the treaty before US, we cannot speak
specifically of It's provisions but The great principle
OF IT, " We remember rightly, RECIPROCAL rcduc-
ton OF dulles imports, which sppea, ed to US from
published accounts Of it, calculated TO benefit alike
the eope of these States and OF those com posing the
Zoll Verein, or German Customs Union. The rat-
fcation of that treaty would have administ cred a
healthy stimulus TO that portion of agricultural in
sustry engaged in the production of rice; and the
tobacco interest could not fail to have derived
much benefit from IT, The latlr Is an important
consideration in Maryland, as IN all the tobacco
growing States and it therefore considered strange
as appears by the yeas and nays gwen above both
the Senators from this State should be found voting
against the treaty treaty calculated TO operate to
the benefit Of of the most important interests Of
Maryland, not alone by the reduction Of the German
import duty on the supply OF that country, but

Of local or sectional nature and if so, they will
doubtless be found ready to render them should they

II will be seen by tue following paragraph from
the Frankfort Zeltung published IN Germany what
Is considered Of the treaty in that country;
"Ihe commercial treaty concluded between the
Zoll Veren States and the Norh American Union
