ALABAMA nj. T.. CONFERENCE.-The per
ceiye that this body has just closed its sessions
The business mainly transacted was of local
character. Among other resolutions passed,
ION motion Of DR.. Hamilton, il was resolved
that in the Judgment of this Confer ence, the
attendance Of our ministers and members upon
theatres, balls, circuses and dancing parties, is
a palpable violation of our rule, which pro-
hibts such emusements as cannot be taken in
the name Of the Lord Jesus. and that the dis
cipline be rigidly enforced"

Commonwealth vs.. s. w. Morsaa

In this case, which we noticed yesterday,
the ground taken by the defence was, that in
asmuch as MIR. Morgan voluntarily came for
ward and disclosed the fact that he had used
the funds of the Bank, and with the aid of his
friends made good to the Bank every cent he
had distracted, he was guilty only ola breach
oftrust and not offruudulent embezzlement.-
1t was commended that none of the Giro UNI
stances Of the case warranted the charge of
feionious intent, but on the contrary, it was as
serted that Morgan's conduct proved him
guilt'ess of a criminal design. So we learn
from the Southsde Democrat. The case was
argued with great ability, aud by the discus
sion and the evidence adduced on the trial,
public sentiment was very much affected in
Morgan's behalf.

The Division in this place increases, and
its influence has nearly siienced all opposi-

active. The Sons influence is felt in various
ways; in one way | think you have neve'
thought of. 1t is this Some old soaker
keep sober to spite the Sons as they say. We
have n such character in our county, who
has been sober for near six months, and be
says he will not join the Sons, but will keel
sober to spite them-so in various way
their influence is felt. In the lower part 0
this county, twelve months ago, it woult
have been dangerous for a Son to make hi
appearance on a public occasion. Now Their

the claims Of a gentleman for Intendant, who
is now and has been years previous, a mem
Der Of the Board of Commissioners. Now, |
would ask, IN all candor and honesty, if he
is not more to blame than Mr.. Haywood for
this state of things. The Intendant has no
power to appropriate money or take any
other steps for the good government and
| protection of the City, than those authorized
by the Commissioners. Why have not they
acted in the matter. Again if | am not
misinformed, Mr.. Haywood has several times
called the attention of the Board to the de-
feieney Of water which existed, yet the Com
missioners failed to carry out his suggestions
in remedying the evil.
The other complaint, respecting his not
taking the directorshipin blowing up houses,
DC, atthe late fire, is ~ungroupded, and is
blaming him for not doing that which the
law entrusts to the Commissioners alone
By reference to the 18Th Section of the City
Charter you will find the following words
BE it enacted, Thatin case Of fire break
ing out in any part of the City, the Commits
sioners, or a majority Of them, shall have
full power to do Hhateye they may deem
necessary to stop the progress Of the calami
; ty, even to the causing adjoining building t
be taken down or blown up DC.
! Here, it will be seen, no power or author
ity is given to the Intendant to act IN til
premises T; thew5ole dictatorship is entrus
ted to the Commissioners, and no one elst
d l have no objection to urge against th
gentleman whe is spoken Of as being brough
forward in opposition to Mr.. Haywood. II
d is a worthy maI,aad in every public positio
in which he his been placed, has prove

j ] protest against placing him at the head
our City, over he claims of our present Il
tendant, upon The grounds Of iheficiency

door of the former. If the objections urge

le it should be to- that of MIR. Holden, for !

ancient lsraelites-the only true followers of

ance Societies. "I'm not a gwine to pay you

PLEASANT HILL, Dec. 20, 1851.

As | have not seen anything lately in your
valuable paper, concerning lnvlnclble. Dlvis-
ion, and as you may think We are in a stand
still position, offer to say a few words in re-
lation to it. This Division was organized on
the LIST day of October, 1850, with about twelve
members; since that time it has increased only
ten members, until the present quarter, in
which we have initiated four, and admitted
three by card, and now have two propositions
on the table and with the assistance of the
AGE, we will continue to convert and initiate,
until there will not be a single reputable enemy
fiom the filthy and nefarious temple of rebuked
Bacchus TO assail us. Like the sea-god, Proteus,
when assailed in one delusive garb, IN which
he had transformed himself, he viii Immediate
ly assume the appearance of another and diff
ferent one, by which he may again delude the
unwary and he has sneeringly, though shrewd-
ly asked whether or not, the Sons Of Temper
ance are going tomingle temperance with pol
itics? This is the fearful point The enemies
OF Temperance. who deal out this direful anC
fatal poison to their ~fellow-men, and are recog
nized in it, as reputable by law, are now trem
bling for the fear that this glorious principle O
freedom, as they would term it, will be repeal
ed, and they deprived ofthe humane privilege
of making beggars, widows and orphans, and o
filling novels, assylums, jails, penitentiaries
&c. with their fellow-beings, there to drag GU
their miserable lives. which is more intolerabl
than death itself. The license law is the mos
infamous and nefarious enactment which ha
ever stained the statue book, and has done, an,
is doing more to degrade and disgrace man
kind, than all others combined. AS Cicero ex
claimed in his immortal Grafton against wicke
Catalne, "QUosqUe tdndem uDu'ere Ott,tttnt
p~atientid noStTa ?" So l exclaim in reIatio
to that law which allows any man, under il
protection, to sell that direful demon, alcoho
which has brought to a premature grave man
ofthe noblest, ablest and most eminent either
e of our Republic. Notwithstanding the. variou
| impediments, the many enemies with their vi
misrepresentation and evil predictions, hay
, thrown in our way, if we remain faithful t
ourselves and the noble cause which we hay
espoused, we will ultimately be waited ovt
the lofty pillows Of Neptune's boisterous realr
safely to the shore.
