taken up.
The discussion on the territorial

may not have any influence on certain
measures which the Executive wishes
to pass through smoothly.
The number Of applications for the

ANOTHER VICTIM.

Last week, ayoung lady died In Brook
Vile, under peculiar circumstances. We
need not give the details. Her father
lives a few miles In the country, and Is
drunkard. He so abused tho girl that
she could not stay at home. A few
weeks ago he beat her so as to disable
her, and she was brought TO town by
the overseers OF the poor. Here she
died.
We hope nobody will become excited
at this circum stance, she was only q
drunkard'a child--a poor girl. Who
cares for poor children---drunkard's
childreni And then she was killed ac-
eording to law. None but fanatics would
see In this an argument in favor Of pro-
hibitIon. Itwould be inaicting great
or evil than this on community TO seize

HEMETHoDrsr CHURCH, SOUTH, AND
SLAVERY

At the late General Conference Of
the NJ. K. Church, south. the section
on slavery, was stricken out, OF their
discipline by a rising vote, only one
Abolitionist being present TO say no.
The same body passed a resolution
affirming that the General Rule on the
subject of buying, and selling men and
women and children with the intention
to enslave them, only applied to the
African slave trade, and the inference
which we draw, from the wording Of the
resolution is, that there would be no
harm inengaging in this trade, If the
law did not forbid IL. May the LORI
