NOTiherH Method tSfs.-During the past week
preachers Of the Methods, Episcopal Church
North" havo been moving around, in the outer
circle of society, holding prayer meetings. OK
hortatons, &c. We make no objection to the
free exercise Of every religions worship, blu, will
freely give opinion. The Northern Metho.
dlsts broke the fraternal bonds with the same
denomination in the South, not on any difference
OF faith or worship-but on the isolated question
OF Sldrery. And by their dogmaticaI dic,alion
TO the Southern Methodists, in the case of Bishop
Andrew, compelled division in the Church.
Arkansas fell into the Southern Conference
where her institutions of slavery are not com.
Pa'lble with the views Of the Northern Church.
Now those preachers who have left the church
upon account of their abolition sentiments. are
unit persons to preach and teach among us. They
should not be counenanced or respected by any
citizen who has patriotic regard for the civil
institutions Of the country. There are those
among US who have been raised in free States.
and who own no slaves, ye, duty to the institutions
of the Slate, comfy 10 their fellow citizens, who
do own slaves, and who have been educated
without anti-slavery sentiments, among whom
they live and flourish, should prompt them to
discard and fling aside all such impertinent med
dlers, as these Northern Preachers, who are no.
thing but ubo itionisis at best. - ...... r., .-a

1t will be seen by Mr.. SmiIhson's communica.

the democracy should split. From the beginning
we knew that Mr.. Smithson did not place his na me
