Choraeter.-We may easily Judge of mans
character by what he loves-what please him.
If person rejoices in low and sordld objects in
vulgar song and debasing language in the mis-
fortune OF his fellows, or cruelty to animals, we
may at once determine the complexion of his
character. On the contrary if he loves purity,
modesiy, truth-If yirtuous pursuits engage his
heart and draw ont hIs nffcctions-.we NAV be
satisfied that he Is an upright man: debased he
shrinks from association with the goni and wise.

The "United Demo craoY.n

We have heard it limited of late that the " u

necessary prelimnaries for carrying the State

There Is no pfnciple-no real honest principle.

we find in the New York Evening Post:
"The Rev. Francis Harding, a stakeholder of
the State Of Virginia, was suspended by the Bal

previous to the General Conference of le44, for
his connection with slavery. The action of this
body was afterwards confirmed by the General
Conference, which also suspended Bishop An
drew from the performance of his official duties
because of his holding slaves whom he had OBJ
tanned possession of by marriage, and of his re
fusal to liberate them. In consequence of the
course taken by the General Conference, the
Southern Delegates declared that a continued
agitation of this subject would compel them eth
er to abandon the Slave States or separate from
the North. The Southern delegates afterwards
agreed upon what was called plan of separa-
ton, and Southern Convention held on their
return home, resolved to establish separate or
ganzation but the Northern Conference, which
had possession Of the funds, refused to give any
share of them TO that division of the Church,
