To the Hon. Secretary of the Navy,

The U. s. Journal says the appointment of charge
d'efhires TO New Grenada has been rendered 10
the Hon. b. A. Bidleck, Of Pennsylvania, land has
been accepted.)
This is gratifying. Mr.. Bidlack is held in high
esteem by all who know him, and particularly by
the democracy of northern Pennsylvania. Possessed
as he is of high order of talents and sound and
vigorous mind, he will make efficient officer, and
IN his hands the honor and interest of the United
States government and her citizens will be safe.
We regret, however, Ito lose such citizen and
such warm-hearted, gallant, and honorable politi-
clan from amongst usl and we sure thar while
all will feel grati6ed at this high honor being be-
slowed upon Mr.. Bidlack and the democratic party
of this State, yet they all will feel hearty regret
at parting with him Clinton (Pa.) Democrat.

METHODIST CONVENTION.
The New York Commercial Advertiser of the
Goth inst learns from its Philadelphia correspondent
that, after considering and rejecting vast number
of propositions the day before, the following articles
were adopted:
a. That the institution OF slavery, existing in these
United States is sinful the part civil society
a That slavery, as exists in these United States, Is not
a sinful offence.
80 That civil government not bound TO abolish slavery
in these United states
Tbsit is agreeable to the word OF God for any
person Intentionally 10 induce those held in slavery to rebel
against their masters"
We hail this liberal spirit with great pleasure, as
the harbinger of better times Who can see, without
pain, the necessity which compels the Methodist
convention to adopt the course which they have
pursued at Louisville
They were engaged on the lith in listening to
addresses from a number of delegates, the general
purport Of which simply the assurance OF entire

The same gentleman writes that he had the "plea-

in the highest terms Of commendation;" and this

of the life of Washington, that he was "by no

We learn that the diploma is certified by Baron

Fox's collection of flowers is very extensive--his
roses particularly unique-and that his handsome
present amounts to scarcely less than $500 in value
We learn further, that they have been thankfully &C
cepted; and Mr.. Maher and his assistants were yes
terday engaged in transferring the flowers partly to
the Presidents lower garden, and partly to the beau

serve still further to embeish the grounds which, al
this season Of the year particularly, are SO well cal

which adom them. Decidedly one of the most
charming things have beheld of that descrp-

starways and along the portico wreathed around
with masses of honeysuckle and roses, which de-
