The SOUTHERN CHURCH AND SLAVERY The Con-
yention of the Southern members of the New School
Presbyterian Church, at Murfreesborough Tenn,
in session recently, referred to committee for
sideration the action of the Assembly lately sitting
at Buffalo, N. w. on the subject of slavery. The re-
port of the committee strongly condemns the uncal
ed for interference in matters that they say do not
concern the Northern Church. AS a summary of the
conclusions to which they have come on mature re-
Election, we submit the following resolutions:
81. We hold ourselves, and the members of the
churches represent to be an integral portion of
entitled to all the rights and immunities of said
church.
g. In regard to slavery we stand upon the platform
the Bible and the constitution of the church, which
in opinion no where teaches that the holding of
slaves is sin disciplinable offence that conse
quently the resolutions passed by the General AS
sembly at Detroit in 80, defining wherein it is and
is not an offence is unconstitutional and of no bind
ing force.
3. That we shall look with interest to the course
that shall be pursued by the conservative brethren
of the Northern and Western portions of the church
at the next General Assembly; whether they will
lend us their aid in preserving the integrity of the
church, and arresting the of sectional agta-
ton, and setting the church the basis of its stand
ards"
The Convention comprised six ministers and one
elder from the Synod of Tennessee; three ministers
from the Synod of Kentucky; twelve ministers and
five elders from the Synod of West Tennessee, and
two ministers from the Synod of Mississippi.

freely denounced such Democrats as the Hon. Asa

elected the District will have endorsed this unknd

CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION.

The people of this State voted on Thursday last
for County and Superior Court Clerks and for eight
members of Congress. The day was fair and the
vote has no doubt been generally full one.
The Democrats had candidates in six Districts out
Of the eight.
In the first District Dr. H. NJ. Shaw opposed the
Hon. D. Outlaw, Whig. The District is Whig by
considerable majority, and we have, therefore, no
ground for entertaining strong hope that DR.. Shaw
has succeeded. He has canyassed the District with
spirit and marked ability and, if defeated, will de-
serve the gratitude and thanks of the party.
In the second District the regular nominee was
Thomas Ruffn, Esq, of Wayne, who has no doubt
been elected by large majority.
In the third District the Hon. William S. Ashe
regular Democrat, was opposed by Walter F. Leak,
Esq, Distribution Democrat. Mr.. Ashe has succee-
ded no doubt by large majority.
In the fourth District there were three candidates
A. NJ. Lewis, Esq, standing on the Democratic
platform; Hon. A. W. Venable, standing on the
Wing platform on the question of Cuba and the pub
lie lands, and opposed to any Convention of the par
ty which would not suit him; and Sion H. Rogers,
Esq, regular Whig candidate.
In the sixth District, the candidates were George
D. Boyd Esq, Democrat, and R. G. Puryear, ESQ.,,
Whig We indulge strong hopes of Mr.. Boyd's cleo
ton.
In the seventh District the candidates were Burton
Craige, ESQ.,, Democrat, and James W. Osborne, ESQ.,,
Whig. This has been one of the most elevated and
intellectual contests in the State. We think Mr.
Craige has been elected. If defeated, however, his
defeat may be justly attributed to the pursued
by Mr. Venable and others on the subject of Cuba
and the public lands
In the eighth District the candidates were Hon.
THOMAS L. Cingman and B. S. Gather, Esq, FEEDER
Wing. Mr. Clingman has no doubt been elected.
In the fifth District John Kerr, Esq, .Whig, has
'een running slow race by himself He may have
oeen elected, though the Democrats generally ex-
pected to vote for the Hon. A. Rencher
we Shall probably hear enough by our next issue

eW The election in this place passed off without
much excitement More feeling, we believe, was
exhibited in relation to the Clerks election than
about the Congressional candidates. Owing to the
divided condition Of the Democrats Mr. Rogers vote
has been quite heavy in this County.

THE so-CALLED aCLIoUE."

MIR. Venable, we learn, INDUCED during the late
campaign id strong denunciations of what he was
pleased to style the Raleigh Clique" This talk
about Raleigh Clique" is only for effect, and is
unworthy of those who wish well to the Democratic
cause. The Democrats of Raleigh are but few in
number, and as general rule, poor in this worlds
goods and they have had to contend for the last ten
years against array of talent influence and wealth
which cannot probably be found in any other COM
munty in the State. Notwithstanding this, however
they have been constantly gaining; and what is
more they have not only worked for the cause gen.
orally in the State, but expended their means most
freely for its advancement. Mr.. Venable himself
never had the support of better or more devoted
friends than he found in this community up to the
moment when he began his work of disorganization
and of opposition to his party principles.
We take this occasion to say, so far as we are con-
cerned, that zoe alone responsible for
in relation to Mr.. Venabe. That course was the re-
suit of reflection and deliberate Judgment; and our
only regret in the matter is that could not feel
altogether free to take position against him at an
earlier period in the campaign. We may have more
to say on this point hereafter, only purpose be-
ing now to state that but ourself is res
ponsible for the course we have pursued. We are
gratied to know however, that our course is appro-
we'd by the prominent members of the party here, as
we have good reason to believe it is by vast ma
jority of the party throughout the State.

The formality and particularly with which the
Government paper, the Union, some ten days ago,
CHARGED the Government Of Great Britain with certain
designs regarding the Island Of Cuba, deeply inte-
resting to the Southern portion Of the United States
led us to infer that the charges were made on off,
cial information and authority. Coming before the
public with such an understood sanction, the article
Of the Ln1n received from our journal and others
the serious attention which an affair so important
was calculated to command. Having impaired this
impression to our readers at the time, and having
carefully observed the indications of public opinion
which have followed we think it due to readers
now to state that several Of the most respectable
journals and the best informed correspondents Of
this city concur in the opinion that the Union not
only had official authority for its statements, but
no reliable authority at all indeed, some of the
writer's and papers referred to pronounce the whole
story utterly groundless. We confess that are
more surprised than panied by this incredulity Of
the press. While we are glad to be assured that the
story is fiction, we are surprised that the Union
permitted such statement to appear in its columns
in such way, unintentionally perhaps, as to mis-
lead the public into belief that it had semi-ocal
character
