Ma. ED1roR:-The annual session OF
the Western Virginia Conference. NJ. T.
church, met in Palatine on the Esd ult.
.adionrned on the 3Oth.
The business was transacted harmoni-
ously and with dispatch. During the
session a motion was made to annex OHIO
county to the Pittsburg district. which
created some, debate. and was finally lost
by an almos. unanimous vote.
During the debate the President took
occasion to say, "that SO far as he as an
individual was concerned. he had not one
foot. of territory to give away. that this
question would be regarded sectional .in
its tendencies, and would be virtually
giving to the northern portion OF the
church a foothold upon southern SOIL. ~
was much pleased with the reverend gen.
tleman's remaks, and hope that our
church will continue to occupy and sus>
tain the same conservative principle.
