SOUTHERN METHODISTS.

A convention Of the Clergy Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, from the
Southern and Southwestern States, as
sembled al Louisville on the Isl inst.
Rev. DR.. Loylce Pierce, of Geo, was
called to the Chair. OF the l02 mem
hers elected TO attend the Conference,
50 were present. A resolution was
adopted, requesting Bishops Soule and
Andrews, who We're present, to preside
over the Convention. Bishop 5. &C.
knowledged the compliment, but desir-
ed to postpone reply until the next
evening. Rev. Thomas O. Summers,
ofAlabama, was chosen Secretary, and
Rev. r. n. Raston was chosen Assis-
tant Secretary.
On the next day Bishop Soule an
nounced the decision o: himself and
Bishop Andrew to preside over lis
deliberations-B Bishop Morris present,
bat declining to officiate. Bishop
Soule in announcing the decision,
said:
'The opinion he had formed II
the proceedings of the late gencr4
Conference as to its results upon the
unity of the body, was made drought
fully and with much consideration
Nothing had trarspired to change his
convictions. And however deeply he
might regret the result, he was never
theless fully confident that division
of the Church IN the United States was
inevitable. He expressed the hope
that the Convention would not only ex.
hibit laudable example of moderation
and forbearance, but would keep strict
! ~ within the limits and provisions Of
the 'plan of Separation which had
been adopted by The last General Con
ference with great unanimi!y.-
For himself he stood upon the basis Of
MethotIism as it was laid down in the
Book of Discipline. From that rock
he never intended to be moved
The debates have been continued
from day to day, but so far as our &C
counts come down, without any decl-
sion Of the question. Many members
Of the convention, we End, are in hope
that something may be done to recon
Gle the difference, by the next General
Conference. Others argue that a sep
arate organization need not divide the
Church in feeling or spiritual interest,
and that Christian harmony would be
promoted by a separate organization.
The debates, which elicit great deal
Of talent and eloquence, are conduc-
ted in a kind and Christian spirit

STUMpING IN TENNEssEE.-y4cron
! 7. Broacn is the Democratic candidate
! for Governor in Tennessee, and E.
phraana H. Foster is the Wing candi-
date. They are making the tour OF
the State, and meet at appointed pla-
ces to discuss the political questions of
the day. The discussions seem to be
conducted in excellent tone and tenn
per, and are often enlivened with passa-
ges of wit and humor. We notice a
sharp encounter that recently took
place in Jackson:
Mr.. Brown, who was the last speak
er, in concluding his argument, said
his great object had been to draw Mr..
Foster back to his old republican prin-
ciples-if he failed, all he could say,
was, in the language OF Scripture,
Ephraimi-Ephraim is joined in his
idols, let him alone'-and hoped on
the 7th of August [election day1 the
people would let him alone
Mr.. Foster retorted that there was
another passage of Scripture, in w1SsIs
certain man by the name of
was mentioned, who, while Mosessss
cended the mount to receive the law Of
God, built golden calf and that it
was fat calf, (pointing TO Mr..
Brown
Mr.. Brown replied that such was the
fact; that Aaron did build a golden
calf, but that it was made of gold.
whereas, he (Mr. FOSTER made his god
of Clay.
After the applause which followed the
of Mr.. BIS had somewhat SUBJ
sided, Mr.. Foster replied that his Clay
god was formed in the image of his
Creator-that our Creator made Adam
of Clay, and that it would have been
much betterhad Aaron made his golden
calf of clay.
Mr.. Brown answered that Mr.. Fos-
ter's Clay god, like all other false gods,
had been overturned.
As Foster was not very prompt in
replying 10 this last shot, Mr.. Brown
supposed the sparring was finished;
and observed to the audience, that as
he was stranger to them, he hoped
they would give no importanceto their
wit and levity, but that they would 60

on the grave subjects they had heard
debated.
But Foster seemed to think that lit
would never do to give it up, so, Mr.:

which has been heretofore clamorous
Tor vengeance, indulge in no comments
apon the introduction ofthe above prop
ositions. Had they been offered be-
fore the news of the success Of the an
nexation Of Texas, there would have
been loud and genera. cutlery. 1t
cannot be doubted that it is the policy
of the Mexican government, in view
other difference with the United States,
thus TO heal all internal wounds, and
concentrate the feelings of all clas-
ses and parties upon resistance Of an
nexation.
| Congress is diligently occupied,
through its committees, with the re-
form Of organic bases. On the 10th
ultimo, the committee charged with
the subject of the interior administra-
ton Of the department, made their re-
port. Not a word is reported of the
discussion upon the relations between
this country and Mexico. These
are carried on in secret session.
| The nature Of the dispatches last
carried by the Eurydice from Galveston
to Vera Cruz, for Mr.. Bankhead, had
not yet transpired; nevertheless, it was
generaIlyrumored and believed in Mex
leo, that they contained an offer from
the government of Texas to reject an
nexation, if Mexico would consent to
acknowledge the independence of Tex
as. The editor off! Siglo XIX seems
Indifferent to the rumor, insisting that
Mexico must defeEd all her rights by
the moststrenuous measures in her DOW
er. As to the rumor itself, being the
same which we received here direct
from Galveston, we must think that
where there is so much smoke there
must De some fire.
On the 10Th instant, Senior Doves,
in the Chamber Of Deputies, read a
protest against the memorial or report
of the Minister Of Foreign Affairs. He
attacked in every shape, and accompa-
MED his protest with violent speech,
abusive not only of Senior Cuevas, but
of the whole cabinet. When the mo-
ton founded upon the protest was put
to vote, Senior Doves found himself en-
tirely alone, every other member voting
against. him. This shows that the ad-
ministation has the most perfect conf
dence of the House.
( We hear no more Of the earthquake,
but the papers contain some rather I'M
satisfactory speculations upon the im-
mediate causes, and invite communi-
cations from the distant departments as
to The precise moments when the
phenomena occurred, their dura ton,
&C., &c.
We find in our papers letter dated
in Paris, addressed TO the Mexican
Congress from ex-president Busta
mente, congratulating them upon the
overthrow of Santa Anna and the re-
establishment of a government oflaws.
He expresses regret that he could not
have shared in the glory of achieving
the triumph.
Papers from Zacatecas announce the

the road from that city to Gaudalope.

LATER EROM MEXICO.

The schooner Creole arrived at this
port yesterday from Vera Cruz, whence
she cleared on the 22d ult.-one day
after the Yuca,eco, which arrived en-
the 2Sth ult. The Creole brings Us
files from Vera Cruz to her day of clear
ing, and from the capital to the 18th.
Owing to norther's coming up, the
Creole could not sail till the gath, but
held no communication with the shore
after the 22d, as we are assured.
We have again to say that Mexico
has not yet declared war against the
United States, although rumors were
rife in town yesterday that she had done
SO. The subject was very general
topic OF conversation yesterday; but no
one, we presume, seriously believed
in the ruluor. At any rate, it was
treated with derision. Verbal commu-
nications from some Of the passengers
by the Creole represent that the gen.
eral feeling at Vera Cruz is in favor
Of a war, and that the prevailing i'm
preston there is that the government
Will declare it so soon as it finds IL
self in situation to do so with effect.

The four American vessels of war
were still lying at SACRIFICES. Should
Captain Stockton's squadron Join them,
as is anticipated, the fleet will consist
ofeight vessels eff war, mounting, in
all, 154 guns.
By this arrival we hear not word
more of Mr.. Shannon, the American
minister.
The most interesting intelligence
which we find relates to the fate of San
ia Ana, and those involved in his
overthrow. A proposition has been
introduced in the chamber of Deputies
that Santa Ana, Canalizo, and the four
ex-ministers who took part in issuing
the decree of the 29th of November, |
closing the sessions of Congress, may
avoid trial upon the condition of ex-
patriatlng themselves for the term of
ten years. At the same time another
proposition was submitted, to the effect
that an absolute amnesty should be |
granted to all those generals and other
officers comprehended in the circular of
the 9th of January, depriving them of
theircommands, &C., even thoughthey
had been already sentenced.
We do not find that the chambers
have acted upon these propositions; but !
that they are very likely to receive their
appreciation, we entertain no doubt
The revolution having been so perfect
ly consummated throughout the entire
country, and the present administration
being so secure in their places, itwould
be an act ofdignity as well as clemency
to extend a pardon to those who adher,
ed to to the last to the fortunes Of San
ia Anna. The services ola large num-
Der of good officers willthus be regain

the public mind--neithef
outraging the feelings of TIE yet nu-
merous friends and partisans of Santa

course to allow HIM to leave the coun-

led with his tyrannical acts. II is a |,
