SLAVERY IN THE METHODIST CHURCH.

The following preamble and resolutions pas J,
ed the New York Conference of the Methodiit
Episcopal Church, at its late session in SinS
Sing, with great unanimity:
Whereas the circumstances in which we ar
placed, as ministers of the Methodist Episcops
Church, are such as unavoidobly force the sub.
ject of Slavery upon our attention; as we ar
constantly reminded of this great evil by on.
Book of Discipline; as those who uphold thi
system seem to be aiming, not only at thu.
maintenance of its past and present position
bat its indefinite extension and diffusion; ane
as in endeavoring to accomplish their purpose
they have frequently come in conflict, not only
with our rights as American citizens, but with
our religious and conscientious convictions al
Christians; therefore,
Resolred, That Slavery is to be regarded moi
only as a political and social, but as moral
evil, although where the relation of STAKEHOLDER
is involuntary, and made necessary by circum'
stances, it ceases to be sin.
Resolred, That, in our opinion, the system Of
American Slavery, as existing in the United
States, is accompanied with peculiar aggrava-
tons, and we should INCREASINGLY aim at its ex'
tirpation by all constitutional and legal means.
Resolred, That the disposition constantly
shown by those in the interest of Slavery, to ex-
tend and perpetuate the institution, occasions
our most prOlOutp regret, anu requires 10 De
met on our part yith the most decided though
consistent and Christian opposition.
Resolred, That while representing 30 large a
body of Christian and constantly coming in
contact with the + culiar circumstances and in
huences which al : created by the progress of
events, we consid it proper to give expression
to the foregoing shtiments. We nevertheless
unite in the opini n that the Discipline of our
Church, in its gel .ral rules, and in the section
on Slavery, main sins substantially the right
ground in regard D this great evil; that we are
satisfied with it a.. it is, and thst no change in
this respect is desirable.
Resolced, That, in accordance with the pre-
ceding resolutions, we deem it inexpedient, and
therefore non-concur in the resolutions of the
North Ohio, Erie, or Wisconsin Conferences.

SLAVERY AND METHoDIsN.-There was a
long and animated debate in the Methodist
Conference (now in session in this city, yester-
day, on resolution denouncing voluntary or
mercenary" slaveholding. The term "volun-
tary" was explained by those who advocated
the resolution, as meaning shareholders who
are such from choice, and as not including
those who, living in section of country where
free labor is comparatively unknown, have no
choice but to own or hire the services of per-
sons held as slaves. So of Shareholders at the
South who own families of slaves, but who, for
humane reasons, refuse to sell them, and who
cannot manumit them under the State laws IN
less they provide for their removal to Free
States, and thus place them beyond the protec-
ton and care of those who feel an interest In
them. The Conference was not full when the
vote was taken. The resolution was adopted
