The Methodist Conference upon NEBRASKA.
The Methodist Conference of this State
at their late meeting, took as decided ground
upon the slavery question as have other &C.
cleslastical bodies. A series of resolutions
drawn up by committee consisting of Rev.
NJ. Spencer, ID. Packer and c. r. Harding,
were reported and adopted by the Confer
enee. The 9Th and last resolution is as fol-
lows:
RESOLVED, That the infamous Nebraska bill
demonstrates that the spirit of Slavery where
ever 1t obtains in the human heart, annihi-
lates not only every principle of national
honor but every trace of moral honesty.

the selection of Hon. John ]. Perry, the
nominee of the Morrill, Convention, as the
candidate for Congress. The entire anti
Nebraska vote IN the District will thus be

election. Gilman, the Wing candidate, gave
way for that purpose, and the Free Soilers
made no nomination. This has heretofore

the truth The temperance and free soil
Conventions were in fact merged in the
Mass Convention and controlled it. That is
the exact truth, as every body knows except
the editor of the Freeman. Had the Wings
been there, on equitable and fair terms
Judge Royce would have been nominated on
the first ballot in committee, and we do not
doubt that his nomination would have been
ratified heartily. The truth is, the people
were ready for harmonious action. If this
were not so if the friends Of the Rutland
ticket biased and controlled the Convention
won't the Freeman be so good as to ex-
plain how it is that the Rutland ticket was
not nominatedi

O. The Brandon Post differs from the
Freeman very essentially, After expressing
his regret that Judge Royce was not nomin-
ated, the editor of the Post says:
But the Convention looked at the matter
dfierently--they thought it would be short
step to form a neto party and take for its
stoudard-bearer an old partizan - one who
had shown no disposition to array himself
under that standard. Instead, therefore, the
Republicans of Vermont have placed at their
head a man who, though, as he himself re-
marked, has been partizan for half CEN
tury, is ready TO respond to the demands of
the times to put behind him old party
names and prejudices and 60 forward 10 the
work before him. Weregret extremely this
state Of lhings-calculated to divide the an.
ti-slavery strength of the State-we hope
and believe it will not continue f; but fit do,
no man for the times can mistake his duty
At all events keep cool, be reasonable and
foncitidtory, and all desirable ends will be
the easier arrived at.

a H~ for Caba.-The Washington
Union OF Saturday has a semi official article,
declaring that Cuba must belong to the Uni.

successful, war must be resorted to.

The Freeman abounds in matter to en-
courage boiling from the unanimous action
of the Mass Convention, aud the nearly
unanimous action Of the Free Soil Conven-
tlon-in both of which the editor of the
Freeman acted, and did all he could 10 have
matters his own way. He now indicates a
disposition to bolt and support regular
free soil ticket. In other words, he is against
any course that will concentrate the anti
slavery sentiment which the Wings, Free
Sollers, and part of the Democrats hold in
common. For this course he states reasons
and makes charges that will bring upon him
the guns Of free soiers. We leave to them
the task of correction for the present. In
one point only do we meet him, and that is
this; he charges that an undue influence
was brought TO bear on the Mass Convention
by those who were interested in obtaining q
ratification of the Rutland ticket. We de-
ny the charge -fauy, Internationally, and
IN It's whole length. The reverse is exactly

DR.. Kabomne We concur in the follow
ing compliment given by a highly esteemed
citizen of Montpelier;
There are two things essential to complete
dentist; first, that by his art, he should pre-
serve the natural teeth as long as possible; and
second, that he should be able, when neces-
sary, TO replace them with as perfect set of
artificial teeth as can be made. The first
part of his work is Of the greatest import
ance, and requires the exercise of no small
amount of judgment and skill-hence pecu-
liar care should be taken not to employ an
unskilful operator. From what have per-
sonaly. and from observation, known of DR..
&. II. Kilbourne's work, have no hesitation
in saying that his skill IN filling and preser-
wing the teeth cannot be surpassed. His FL
liBgs, done with but little pain, and with
great care, are admirable and permanent. In
that department of his profession, in which
