Slavery among the Protestant Methodist

The General Conference Of the Methodist Pro-

On the 9Th inst. resolution introduced by
Mr.. William Cullin, in obedience to instructions
from the North Illinois Conference, asking an
precision of the sense of the conference the
subject of slavery, created little sensation. 1t
was moved to lay on the table. Rev X. Is.
Thompson, of Virginia, after come appropriate
and conciiatory remarks, in which, as south

every such subject with respect, said that il the
mover to lay on the table would withdraw his mo-

a special committee. The mover would not

The subject was an exciting one, and hard to
manage. The national council could not man
age it; we could not hope to do it. He wished
to amend that it lay on the table till the 9Th of

Rev. j. s. Robins IN, of Onondaga, said he was
Northern man with Southern sympathies He
was sorry to witnes the disposition to meet the
introduction of such paper with the proposition
Immediately to lay on the table. He feared great
dissatisfaction would be the result, and he loped
the subject would be referred to a special com

cradle warmth, expressive Of great confidence
that the union and harmony of the church should
be preserved. He sympathised with both the
South and the North, and on this subject on
both sides.
Doct.J. l.. Armstrong was Southern man,as
such he opposed TO giving the document SO
much Importance as to refer it to special COM
mttee, but was willing to let it go to the execu-
tive committee.
Rev. w. w. Walker, OF Virginia, said it was a
national subject, and ought to be kept ont of the
councils of the church. The church could have no
jurisdiction over the subject. Austria fly, there
fore, his views would lead him to lay the subject
on the table. But he was willing to compromise
and to concede so far as to vote for reference.
He hoped becoming respect on both sides of the
question would be extended. He asked no SYM
pathy as a Southern man;but was willing to stand
on the truth error of the respective positions
of Northern and Southern men. faI would have

and christianity enough here to keep the interests
of the church intact, in despite of all the dark

sympathies. He was alway in favor of respect
