den and steal fruit for them He was ten years
Of aye, and was attached to the Sunday school
Of the Evangelical Lutheran Church. Accounts

Conventions week several large Con-
yentions assembled at New York-the Worlds
Temperance Convention, the Woman's Rights
Convention Vegetarian Convention, Reform
Convention, and others. On Wednesday, 9TH
instant, disturbance occurred in the Worlds
temperance Convention, caused by the attempt
Of Rev. Antoinette l.. Brown to address it. The
uproar continued about two hours. The chair
man decided that she had right, as dele
gate, to be heard; which decision was appealed
from, and sustained. When she undertook to
proceed with her remarks, the contention was
renewed, though no personal violence was at
tempted. The police cleared the Hall. The
chiUOtry from the South strongly opposed a
resolution offered by Mr.. Clark, Of Rochester,
inviting " all the friends of humanity, without
respect TO age, sex, color, or condition, to par
ticipate in its deliberations The efforts Of
the disahected seemed to aim Mt the exclusion
of the women from their deliberations. This
is short-sghted policy. Who have suffered
more from the evils of intemperance, than
women Let them aid in pushing on the car
Of Reform. Without their cooperation, the
wheels will drag heavily
Hon. George Poinderier, formerly u States
Senator from Mississippi, died at jackson, in
that State, on the 5th instant. He was the first
delegate to Congress from Mississippi, and on
her admission into the Union was Immediately
chosen United States Senator, which position
he held for a great number Of years.
Mr.. HOsmers Views-Rev. Isaac Nef, M
Episcopal Minister attached to the Cincinnati
Conference, lately addressed letter to Mr..
HOsmer, of the Northern Christian Advocate,
nquiring among other thing, the difference,
if any, which existed between DR.. Bond, Of the
New York Chriaian advocate, and himself on
the sinfulness Of Slavery. The communication
and the reply occupy two columns of the
Northern 4fdUOeate Mr.. Hosmsr disclaims
anything of identity with Dr:-Bond on the
question, and states, as bis views, that Slavery
is sin, per Sc, or in ITSELF and should, there
iGe, be put away at once. "No man." says
Mr. Hosmer, ais obliged to hold slave, any
more than he is obliged to tell lie or steal
horse. All real slaveholdiDg is purely volun-
tary and the pretence that people are obliged
to hold slaves is most ridiculous; they are
obliged to hold slaves just as the drunkard is
obliged to drink his potatons, and in no other
sense whatever" In closing up his editorial
Mr.. HOsmer speaks thus of the subject Of Sc
cesson from the Church
We agree with Brother Neff, also, that no
good can come from secession. II is not the
remedy The effect of secession ON the Church
is Ike that of hemorrhage on feeble const
