NJ ETHODIST CONV tt ION

The reader is appraised that there has been in
| session at Louisville. Nv. convention of dele
gates from the Methodist church OF tho south for
the pas: two weeks, the object of which has been
to take into consideration the oNpcdiency of a
dissolution of that branch Of the church from
those Of the north. 1t will also DO recollected
that the general conference Of the L. States, held
n bout n year ago, passed resolutions condcmning
in emphatic language tho institution Of slavery,
and declared that it inconsistent with tho Cos
pei ministry to hold slaves. In tho Louisville
convention on the 18th inst. tho question on the
following resolution taken and decided in the
affirmative, by but one dissenting voice.
Resolved by the Delegates Of tho several An
nual Conferences in the South and Southwestern
States, in General Convention assembled, That
cannot sanction the action of the lato General
conference of tho Methodist Episcopal Church,
the subject Of slavery, by remaining under the
ecclesiastical jurisdiction of this BODY, without
deep and lasting injury to tho interests of the
church and the country; we, therefore, hereby in
struct the committee on oragan zation that If, up
on a careful examination of the whole subject,
they find that there is asonable ground to
hopo that tho Northern ajority will reccdo from
their position and give some safe guaranty for tho
future security of civil and ecclesiastical
rights, that they report in favor of separation
from the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the said
general conference.
Tho result Of this convention is to be dep'ored
by the friends of the church, and all good citizens
and fear it is destined to effect tho political as
well as the religious institutions Of our country.

Failure Oh the j. q. < III. smiths.
This failure has caused great suffering in the
Western Reserve.
Tho St. Clair Bank. endorsed by tho Messrs.
Smiths formed, says the Norwalk Gazette, almost
our entiro circulation for years past. The fail
ure was unexpected. 1t came, adds the Gazette,
like clap of thunder in a clear sky.
What is the extent Of tho faiure-whether it
will DO bad ono, or not remains to be seen.
But this reflection cannot fail to strike cvery
mnd;-viz: that irresponsible banking-with its
cred dog" currency, as it is called, ought not to
DO tolerated. Il has wrought mischief always.
1t can hardly fail to do wherever allowed to
oxist.
This very case illustrates, indeed tho evil of
which we speak, and tho danger both of tamper-
ing with the currency. and legislating foolishy
against it. The St. Clair Bank is in Michigan
ostensibly. Ohio was without currency. The
wants Of the people demanded one. Tho Messrs
Smiths undertook to meet these wants, and for
this end endorsed the notes Of tho St. Clair Bank
and worry soon supplied this currency, Newark,
Ohio in fact. being the real locale of this Institu
tion.-Legallv, they not bound for a dollar
of this money. This was known. Yot relying
upon the honor of the firm, it was taken freely,
and wathout suspicion, and became the principal
circulating medium Of a large portion of Ohio
Now, herc wore bankers going ahead-with no
responsibility whatever-withort any control in
their operations, and using, too, an Institution out
Of the State to do it with! and wise people SUBJ
uniting to this assumption of powcr-ths wrong
business action-as if all were right!
Well, experience IS a severe mastcr; and it
will be felt clicking county alone, the Gazette
says, has $4,000 Of this money! up North; but
wo hope tho lesson taught by it will not be for
gotten. viz: that no State get along we'll in
Its business relations unless it have sound, re-
sponslb'e banking system, and that tho more any
people overlook this conclusion, tho greater will
be their pecuniary suffering.

LIFE OF HENRY CLAY.

Mr.. CoLToN, tho talented author of Junius'
Tracts, is engaged in the preparation of an elab
oraio life of the statesman and sterling patriot Of
Ashland. Tho author" says a correspondent Of
the Cincinnati Gazette, +" has passed the winter
with MIR. CLAY, and obtained all the documents
necessary for complete life, whio no man is
more able to put them into shape and ordor than
he Added TO this, Mr.. Clay mas given up all tho
papers relative to the great 'bargan and sale'
question. Thoy alonc form hundred pages of
notes proving tho statements made in tho text
These documents Mr.. Cotton tells me make de-
velopemcnts that arc perfectly astounding. and go
to show conclusively that all the bargaining was
on the side Of Jackson and his friends. 1t is pro-
we'd by them that Buchanan canlo TO Mr.. Clay
from Gen. Jackson with q direct offer and that
Houston also went to Hoane with another direct
offer. The snarl into which it gets Buchanan,
jackson, Eaton, &c, Is perfectly laughab!c.-
Jackson in his after attempts to get out Of the d-
lemma, when he found that Clay was too noble to
be bought, annihiIates Buchanan, ana Buchanan
in endeav oring throw tho burden from his shou-
der drives tho General to the wall, while General
Eaton eats them both up. The disclosures exhibit
the jackson men Of that period who surrounded
their favorite candidate in most ludicrous light,
while it fastens blot Buchanan's forehead he
will find it impossible to wipe out. Hitherto Mr..

IS to be written for posterty and he is to take his
true position in the constellation of great and good
men and his own life is drawing to a close, the
coll for every thing that is needed to clear his
character from tho aspersons made against it is
too loud and imperious to be dsregarced. His
very forbcarance shows how we'll his enemies
know him. They felt they could trust to his mag
nanimity while they allowed charge to rest u

tor is MIR. billings, OF Missouri, who has sue
ceeded In bringing the machine to such periec-
tion, that the process Of rotting, which formerly
required from one 10 four months, is now per-
formed by the assistance Of steam in from three
to hve days. The process is said by the exam

In lis results than any plan heretofore adopted

the belief that by this process American Hemp
can be made fully equal to Russian, and Amerii-
can FLAX as good as the Flemish Or French. The

for Jacob Lamb, bearing date the 9Th day of July,
1874, and of record in the County Court Office Of
Augusta, shall proceed to sell, for ready money,
10 the highest bidder, on the premises, on Satur-
day the 9Th day OF December next. two certain
Tracts, or Parcels Of Land, lying and being in the
County OF Augusta, on the north branch of Naked
Creek--one OF which is the same tract wherein
the said Jacob Lamb now resides, and which he,
the said Jacob Lamb, purchased of the heirs of
the late John Dicxey-adjoining the lands of
Samuel nj. Long, John Craun and others, and
containing, by estimation, two hundred and four
acres; or so much thereof as shall be necessary to
raise the sum of $500, being the first insialment
of $4,000, secured by said deed, together with
interest and the costs attending the sale. Il is
but seldom that such land as that hereby offered
to the public, is to be found in the market as in
point of durability and fertility of soil, together
with the advantages of spring and running water

little, if any other land in the county, except that
which Immediately surrounds it. Naked Creek
runs through, il is believed, the choicest lands of
Augusta county. Selling as Trustee, shall con-
vey to the purchaser such title only as is vested
in inc by the said Decd though the title is believ-
ed to be unquesiionable.
