The Mail speaks in earnest and appropriate
terms Of the importance Of the Memph Con-

Equality and Independence is the true remedy
for the Southland that Self Dependence for

the preservation Of its rights and institutions.
The Iines expects soon to learn something
more about the "certain possessions" which,

e Quite heated discussion arose in the
new school Presbyterian General Assembly,
OF Buffalo, on the 9th, on the subject of slave
ry. We make the following extract from the
proceedings:
A series of resolutions were reported by the
special committee, recommending the appoint
ment OF 8 committee of four from as many
slave.holding Synods, 10 enquire how many
members of the Presbyterian Church hold
slay es-whether from motives of benevolence,
and whether baptism and marriage is observed
among the slaves of members ofthe church,
The committee to report to next Assembly.
DIR Ross of Tennessee, warmly opposed the
resolutions, emphaticaly asserting that the
South never submitted to scrutiny. Messrs.
Newton, of Virginia, and McLane, of Missis-
sippi, also warmly opposed the matter. Quite
an angry disc usson arose towards the close,
and the reverend debaters grew much heated.
Eventually the subject was postponed, amid
much excitement, until Monday.
