weather this morning, very respectable nun
ber Of The members of this Association assem-.
bled in the Town Hall atthe appointed hour.
Col. Goodwin, one Of the Vice Presidents
having been called to the chair, and having
briefly but appropriately explained the object
for which the extra meeting had been called,
Col. Maxcy Gregg, in temporary absence Of
w. F. DeSaussure, ESQ.,, the Chairman Of the
Council of Safety, submitted sundry resolutions
and report, agreed to at the meeting of the
Council on Wednesday last, approbatory of
the proposition Of the Association of st. Philips

several Southern Rights Associations through.
ont the State, in Charleston, on the first Mon
day in May next, and suggesting a list Of some
thirty names, as suitable to represent our Dis.

After a few remarks from Col. Maxcy Gregg,
Hon. J. A. Black, Emmit Seibles, Esq, L. j..
Arthur, Esq, w. F. DeSaussure, Esq, DR..
Reynolds, and Major D. d. Fenley, the Report
and Resolutions were adopted, and the gentle

On motion of W. f. DeSaussure, Esq, it
was
Resolred, That the Chairman of the meeting
COL Goodwyn-should fill up any vacancies
that might occur, prior to the day of meeting,
in the number of Delegates.
We regret that the Secretary, w. b. John.

the official proceedings, as it precludes us from
laying before our readers the names of the Del
egates. Heading the list however, are those Of
our faithful Senators in Congress, Judge But

immediate Representative there-the Hon. j..
A. Woodward.
The Daily Press of Columbia have also q
place in the picture-Messrs. W. B. Johnston,
of the Carolinian, w. B. Carlisle, of the Tele.
graph, and I. c. Morgan, of the State Rights
Republican, being among the Delegates.
The tone Of the meeting was firm and deci.
ded, and evidently every individual present look.

REUNION WITH THE NoRrH.-A suggestion
has been recently made by the New York Ex.
press, an influential secular paper, that an ei.
fort should be made in this time of political
compromises to re.unite the Northern and
Southern divisions of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. In this it is likely the Express speaks
the wishes of not few of the enlightened aud
liberal among the membership of the Northern
Methodist Church. So far as ali this is an ex-
Libition of amiable feelings, we are glad to see
it. But more hopelessly chimcrical idea was
never set afoat. Reunion, in the present cir
cumstances of the Northern and Southern sec.
tons of the United States is a downright, utter,
and sheer impossitility Putting out OF sight
the fact that the General Conference Of the
Northern Church declined the simple overture
on the part of the Suntaern Methodist to open
and maintain friendly relations on the basis of
an amicable coufraternity OF feeling, and com.
PEELED the latter to resort to legal measures to
obtain fair division the property contracted
for in the deed of separation, the state of opn-
ion-generai opinion, prevailing in the Eastern,
Northern and Northwestern portious of the VI.
f. Church is such, and ever will be such, as to
forbid, absolutely and peremptorily, any future
coalescenee On our part, while the domestic
Institutions of the slave-holding States remain
in their present integrity
