This has been day of much tslk, but much
work. Affairs have gone swimmingy on. Never
have we seen so large concourse OF men brought
together, from 30 large extent of country, who
have co-operated zealously, and so harmonously,
and so unremittingy in carrying out great and i'm
por,ant matters.
Never, either, has so extensive an amount Of
business been conducted under circumstances of
greater despatch, and, at the same time, most pa
tent and labored investigation. II shows an homes
ty Of purpose which nothing can daunt, an ntelli-
gence which is equal TO the OCCASION and, above al,
a umo',iniiy, wonderful unanimity, existing IN
southern minds on the all-absorbing subject Of the
day. We may well affirm that none other than
Christian men, hgh-prncipled Christian men, could
have been carried through such crisis with so
much temper, so much judgment, order, and wis
dom. These things will I've looked back to in other
times, doubtless, with much qualification.
The work of the day WINS the formation Of a con-
sttution for the new society, and the organization
Of its cooperating or executive boards. The con-
stitution discussed at great length, but was at
last carried without opposition. The new body ia

Elijah, we will wait for the rain. We would wal

our Northern brethren. Could the connections
union be preserved, and the South be saved at the
same time, nothing on earth would give him such
exalted pleasure, such heartfelt happiness. But ths
case was absolutely hopeless. DIR. Winans con
cluded with able view Of tho political bearing o.
the question. He declared his conviction that In,
division of the Methodist Episcopal Church woult
not have any injurious influence upon the Union Of
the States. On the contrary he maintained that We
should preserve the Union Of the States by dividing
the church. It would put stop to the agitation o
the slavery question on religious grounds. The
Northern portion Of the church would be rid Of thc
.connection with slavery" and no room would be
left for those agitators who plead conscience. The
strongest weapon would thus be wrested from them
DIR. Capers had no objection to inslructng the
committee an to the matter proposed, though he dc
not doubt il would come under consideration IN com
mttce without the instruction. He suggested Q
change in the wording Of the motion to instruct
which DIR. Winans accepted. And he proceeded tt

always had been troubles in the church by conten
tons in the general conference; that the history
those contentious proved how important It was Il

promise law Of 1876 had settled the conflict on
slavery. But he found conflict scarcely less ex.
citing on the Episcopacy. This grew warmer, ant
absorbed the slavery question in the general confer
ence Of 1894 and 1923. That controversy about IN,
Episcopacy gave rest for the time to the southern
Churches on the subject Of slavery, and parties wer,
formed in the general conference, solely on tn,
ground of the Episcopal question:; or rs il was com
monty called, "the presiding-elder question"
This question had produced at least one othe
good effect II had united the South and West N
one man--0hio and Carolina standing side by sid
for an efficient SUPPLEMENTARY as necessary to Al
effective tineracy. This union Of the West an,
South enabled them to put down the revolutionzins
scheme Of those times, and preserve the Episcopscy
from being controlled in the exercise Of its functions
by annual conferences. Since then, abolitionisu
had sprung up, and extended itself widely in tn,

The general board has lately been occupied in ex.
amining this decision They have been in session
at Providence, Rhode Island. Messrs. Jeter and
Taylor, of Virginia, attended the meeting and are
here to report the results. They left the meeting in
session. DIR. Wayland, president of the trienDial
convention was understood to be opposed to the
decision of the board. He offered resolution to
that effect, but it was not thought at all probable
that it would be carried. Amendment after amend
ment tackled on to it, and the impression seemed
to be- that the board would be sustained ut
but slightly censured--ust enough to appear
ances. These facts must have an influence upon
the southern convention, but we trust that every
thing will be conducted with the utmost calmness
and deliberation We have no reason TO expect
anything else. There men here of the highest
| intellectual powers and purest hearts. They can
regard great and wide questions.
They not TO be intoxicated by feeling. They
will take high and decided stand, looking to God
for direction in their important labors II there is
hope left Of preserving the union Of the Baptist
churches-which we hope there is--we doubt not
they will avail themselves Of it. They cannot be
rash or fanatical. They love the church too much;
they love the political Union too much-the State,
the government, with all its glorious associations
They know too well how deep an impression these
| religious divisions make. They know how little is
be expected from any other Union, If the union
OF Christians fail. The odum of a ruptured church
and state will not be with them. All the fearful re-
sponsibilities will be thrown upon the North; and
will marvel at the infatuation which could tear down
so fair fabric.
Two or three hundred members from the southern
States are already in the city, and, learn, have
been received with great hospitality. We recognise
many distinguished men among them. The con-
vention meets tomorrow morning.

have only time to say word or two. The
Baptist convention has had protractcd session to-
day. They have come at once in media res. Dr.
Fuller, Of your State, has offered preamble and
resolution which go to the bottom of the whole mat
ter. There seems to be general disposition 70 sus-
tain them. Much exciting debate was occasoned
by the Introduction of the report; but the whole
matter was deferred until tomorrow, when the
great battle must come off From all appearances
separation Of the church is inevitable. We could
hope otherwise; but 80 il is, and we must submit.
when we are forced out of the church by northern
fanatics, we shall next be forced out Of the Union
by the same nefarious arts
