AN ACT OF DEsPERATIoN.-We have re-
ceived, with a request to publish, what
purports TO to be the proceedings Of a
meeting of the official members of the Mil
ford Circuit of the NJ. E. Church, at which
a series ofresolutions were passed for the
purpose of sustaining Rev. Wesley Smith
AS the whole thing is written in Wesley's
usually bombsstic and INSCRIPTIONS style,
does not express the sentiments of the
man whose name is signed as president of
the meeting, and as the document was
mailed to US at Fairmont, where Mr..
Smith is attending the Conference and
where, we are informed, the Secretary of
the purported meeting has not for some
time been, we have some misgivings as
to its authenticity, and consequently do
not publish it. We look upon the whole
thing as desperate effort of the Rev.
gentleman to bolster himself up before the
Conference-an attempt to ''f1ee from the
wrath to come" and cannot consent to
contribute in the least to having so OBJ
jectionable a character longer inflicted
upon this community. When we become
convinced that such a meeting was really
held, and that the resolutions express the
sentiments of those whose names are
signed to it as officers, and the "oficial
and private members ofthe Milford Cir
cult, we will. lift is desired, publish the
proceedings of the meeting.
