TELEGRA PHO.

Boston, April 20, 1858.
The New England Methodist Conference Anti Slavery
Society," in session at IPSWICH held meeting last night
and discussed the anti slavery question connected with
the Methodist Church South and North
Rev. J. d. BRIDGE of the speakers, said that he
claimed to be the constant and uncompromisng friend
Of the slave. He was Union man, too He went for
his country not "rght wrong" but however bound
ed" He commented on the resolutions passed by our
last Annual Conference recommending rule in dis
cpline prohibiting the reception of voluntary slave
holders into the church, and excluding all such there
from after limited period. The time would come when
the church must either carry out these resolutions
recede from the position it had taken 1t would do
the atterit had eternal hate to slavery and its
utter determination had been decreed.
Rev. j. PORTER argued that the Methodist Church
sound in its antiavery doctrines and that it's present
rule carried out must ultimately drive slavery from the
church Some Shareholders had remained in the church
under the deusve idea that agitation would cease and
they could retain their slaves unmolested but 1t could
not be.
No definite action taken the matter will come
up in the conference ITSELF
