IMpoRrANr SrRIEcr-The large NUN.

IMPORTANT SrBJECT-The large num-
ber Of slaves now unemployed and lettering about
he streets, are not only annoying the police but
giving our citizens vast deal of trouble and it is
therefore important that their owners should be
made to take care Of and provide for them. Many
OF the servants alluded To have been turned ont Of
factories to seek employment and support them
selves, and some Of them rather than work are
living by petty depredatons. Within the past
week the Mayor has had before him several
slaves to whom their hirers had given general
passes to procure work. The law imposes fine
on owners for thus permitting their slaves to go at
large and 1t would therefore little trouble
and expense if all who have given such documents
would recall them and substitute legal passes in
their stead

The METHODIST PROTESTANT CosyESrIoS-Ks n.
t0n on the Sauery Question. oR.-ws have already given
a portion OF the proceedings of this body, which
assembled in Cincinnati last week The Cineip.
natl dazette says it has determined upon pursuing
the following policy
committee appointed by this convention will
attend the general Conference at Lynchburg Va
IN Nay next, and present to that body memorial
from the convention protesting sgainst the prsc-
tice OF voluntary slayeholding and slavetrsdinS
by members Of the church, and calling upop the
conference TO take military steps towards modify
ing the Constitution and Discipline so As TO meet
the anslayery spirit of the North by strik ipg Ont
all the Objectionable features of those Instruments
and declaring that voluntary sIayehoIdipp and
slaverading shall hereafter constitute a barrier 10
membership in the VI. Z. Church The gsnersl
conference not having constitutional authority 70
make these changes but upon recomme pdntion of
two-thirds of the annual conference that body In
requested TO exercise its prerogative in recom-
mending such action to the annual conference
1t is not expected, Of course, that the general
conference will accede TO these demands But IL
was supposed by members of the convention thnt
the south were no less desirous for n dissolution
than the North, and that the general conference
might he induced to consent to such dissolution
But no provision Is made in the constitution for
the withdrawal of any of the an nual conferences
from the general body. Ii Is proposed. therefore
that The general conference recommend to the an
nual conference to call special general meeting
which shall have power to amend the constitu-
ton as to release the annual conference from all
obligations 10 meet in one general conference
should the general conference agree to these pro-
positions, peaceful separation may be effected
between the northern aud southern divisions of
| the church.
In case, however the General Conference should
refuse 10 entertain any of these propositions. a
convention is TO he beld in Springfield in this
state in November. 1855, TO take such action ss
| may be deemed necessary upon the response of the
conference, which convention shall have power to
prgau'Ze northern Conference, to amend the con-
stitutioO and t" authorize the publication Of new
edition of the Discipline containing the necessary
| amendments.
| >uch IL the course determined Upon by the Com
yentiUp from which it will be seen that a spparn.
| ton. peaceful or otherwise. is i,1erttdble There
| were various shades Oi sentiment represented In
the Convention, and different opinions al To the
manner and Tins in which the separation ought Ia
h- effected but all we're agreed that the time had
come when the Church Ought sever itself from
all connection with the evil of slavery. and from
al 'tsponsibihty for its continuance in the
Church.

where "hunger meetings" have been frequent:
"Some sixty men, employed upon the Cunard
Dock, at Jersey City, as coalwheeers aud freight
handlers, struck on Saturday for higher wages
The Company have been paying them 81 a day.
and the demand is for an increase to 81 20 per day
rhe Steamship Company, before the dull time came
on, paid the latter price, but they say that busi-
ness both in freight aud passengers. has decreas-
ed to such extent that they forced to re.
duce the wages of their employees. The strikers
on Saturday, expressed a determination not TO re-
sume work. allow others to work, until their
terms acCeded to. There are, Doubtless hun
dreds of men unemployed who would be satisfied
with dollar u day, but they dare not 20 to work
