Is MASSACHUSETTS, AN ANTI-SLAvERY STATE
The Texas Resolution of Mr.. Wilson, ofNatick,
which passed the Massachusetts, House fRepre-
sentatives, on Monday afternoon, by a vote OF
l47 to 50 (including nearly all the Boston Del
egation) has been indefinitely postponed in the
Senate by the following vote, yeas 20 nays is.
A majority of the Suffolk delegation in the
Senate were unwilling or afraid to express the
sentiments of this simple and noble Resolution,
Invested as it was, for purpose of Cancellation,
Of its somewhat Objectionable preamble
RESOLVED, That Massachusetts distinctly and
solemnly announces to the country her uncom-
promising opposition to the further extension OF
American slavery that she deliberately declares
her earnest and unalterable purpose, to use every
lawful and constitutional measure for its over.
throw and entire extinction; and she hereby
pledges her cordial cooperation to the friends
Of civil liberty throughout the Union, in every
just and practicable measure, that shall tend tc
free our country from the dominion, curse and
shame ofsavery, and make her great and glor
Gus among the nations"

THE KIDNAPPED Man FoUND.-We learn
that the kidnapped man, Jerry Phinney, is now
in the Penientary at Frankfort Ky. 1t seems
that he is the victim of conspiracy in that
State, Armitage and Forbes being the miserable
tools of men on that side Of the river 1t is sta
ted that the warden Of the Penten:iary was in
Cincinnati, where he received the victim from the
two villains who abducted him This mans
name, we believe, is Craig, who figured some
what largely in the case of Della Webster He
is now guilty of kidnapping he will doubtless
be indicted for this crime, and a requisition be
made for his surrender, as well as Armitage and
Forbes Whatever may be the response to the
requsition, fthese gentry put foot on our soil
they will be arrested, and public sentiment will
demand the enforcement against them of the Sc
verest penalties of the law.
1t is farther stated that Phinney was permit
ted by his mistress in Kentucky many years ago
to hire himself out and to reside in Ohio. This
fact of course made him, according to decisions
in this State, and concurrent decisions in free
States, free man,
We learn that information has been transmit
ted to Gov. Barley of the discovery of Phnney,
and he, it is expected, will use every means in
his power to effect his release and secure the
punishment of his kidnappers.

The following extract from the proceedings of the
Philadelphia Annual Conference of the Methodist E.
Church. is taken from the United States Gazette, Of
the Sd inst.
The Rev. Mr. Qugy proposed that each candidate
should be asked whether he was a stakeholder; and
whether he was engaged in any of the modern move
ments for promoting the abolition of Slavery; and
none dissenting, the question was severay asked as
follows:
Bishop Hedding-" Are you stakeholder
To which all answered, Mo-
Bishop Hedding-" Glory to the Conference not
one of their souls is stained with the blood of Africa
The Bishop then informed the candidates that he
was about to put question, the meaning Of which
