JOHN MITCHRLs PRO-sLAvERY SENTIMENTS
IN IRELAND
The Belfast (Ireland) Mercury Of the 9Th Of
February, is surprised at the declarations Of
John Mitchell in favor Of American Slavery,
but moreUo at an intimation in the New York
Tribune that this is the way to win the favor
of tho larger portion Of the Irish people in this
country. II says:
An Irishman of great notoricty, and a
mighty supporter Of liberty whilst he remained
among US, has just made his way to America,
and begun to dcclaim and instruct there, rs ne
did here, but with this diference-that in Ire
land he said he was a slave, and wished to be
free whereas, in America he considers him.
self free, and is very anxious to become the
possessor Of slaves
And again:

apparent feeling Of horror those atr0ci0us sem
fences, those infamous and audacious utter

METHODIST AND SLAvERY.-Wesee it stated
that at the Annual Conference Of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church at Baltimore, on the
18th instant, Bishop Ames presented q memo
rial from the Troy, asking the Baltimore to
recommend the General Conference to insert
prohibitory rule in the discipline, forbidding
the buying and selling of human beings ex-
cept in view Of emancipation, and the volun-
tary and mercenary holding of them in bond
age" The Baltimore refused to concur in the
recommendation Of the Troy Conference by a
unanimous vote of all the members present,
numbering 29l.
John Wesley, who was supposed to know
something Of Methodism, was q terrible Abo-
litionist; and the early Methodists of this ooun-
try would have nothing to do with Slavery.
Indeed, we have been assured that the record
Of the Methodist Episcopal Church ut Ports
mouth, in Virginia, still shows that at least one
member (probably the only guilty one) was
some years ago communicated from the
Church at that place, for having purchased a
slave. But nowadays it excites no amaze
ment to sec even reverend dealers in human
flesh and blood in that once pure and honest
community Of Christian people
WHAT DO THEY IN THE NORTH ?-The New
York Euening Post says that, were it three
times as large as it is, and were it issued three
times day, its editors would still despair Of
finding room for anything like full reports of
the spontaneous gatherings which are every
day held throughout the North and West-to
express the popular astonishment and indigna-
ton at the design of the originators of the
Nebraska bill, and the per6dious means by
which it is intended to bring it about.
This il literally true. The hostility to tho
measure is almost universal and most unprece-
dentedly intense The untrammeled press Of
the North report the popular sentiment very
faithfully.
