RESOLUTIONS OF CONFERENCE
Res0Ered, That in the view of some efforts that
being made under the specious name of Wesleyan
Abolition of Slavery in this State, by the agency of
certain men, who have dared to assume the name of
Christian Ministers, il IS the duty Of all the ministers
and preachers of this Conference, show their
qualified disaprrobaIion Of all such efforts and min
listers, by standing entirely aloof from all such
Citations, and not to assist participate in any of
their mischievous and wicked and awless efforts
subvert the orde peace and prosperity of the citizens
of our State.
Resolrcd furthern1ore That those evil and arch |
agents in this mischief, McBride Crooks and Bacon,
religious service performed in any OF chapels
preaching places.
Whereas. it is publicly known that certain minis /
ters calling themselves true Wesleyan Methodists,
have been convicted of intermeddling with the ins-
tuition Of Slavery in State, and have fomented
strife and dscord, both in social and religious point
of view, and have brought much odium the Chris
tian name and furthermore, persons at distance
from the of these transactions may no. be fully
aware that the ministers above mentioned not of
our ORDER
Resoiued. That the political papers in our State
friendly 10 truth and JUSTICE be requested to announce
that the authors of these disturbances Meth
odist Protestans, but true Wesleyan Methodsts ESQ
called) from the State OF Ohio.''
The free and Representative Government of the
Z United States is said 10 be experimental--t has
stood the shock of scores of years.
Our Church combines Republican Government and
Armenian docrines-the first in America to blend
these great principles. Our almost unparalleled
position.
The next Annual Conference will convene at
Bethel, on Haw River, in Guilford County, on FRI
lay before the End Sunday in November, 10 o'clock,
