From the Pittsburg Christian advocate
Ohio Conference aud SLAVERY.

Ohio Conference and Slavery.
Al the late session of this conference,
held in Marietta, Angus. $50. the
committee on Slavery presented the fol
loving report. which was adopted by the
conference 5flt;r. a..t4
The committee have had under consid.
GRAFTON the important and difficult subject
of slavery important, because it is so
msnifestly at war with The Gospel of
Christ, the rights OF man. and difficult. be-
cause it is SO extensively interwoven with
the domestic. social, and civil relations Of
our country.
Regarding slavery, as il is in duty
bound by the word Of God. as in itself an
unmitigated moral evil. upon which and
for che extinction OF which. should be
brought to bear the truth aud Spirit OF
God by religious instruction, by a virtu>
GUS press. and by the example Of all true
Christians, we would, as n conference,
give uttersnce to our convictions upon
this subject as our fathers in the Gospel
did before US. with all boldness, and yet
with all tenderness.
The committee propose the following
resolutions for your adoption
|. Resolved. That in the opinion OF this
conference, the spirit and import of the
General Rule on this subject are and ev.
er have been anti-slayery. and requiring
the members Of the Methodist Episcot al
Church to hasten its extinction by all
lawful and prudent measures. ,..T..s.
2. That to deprive slaves the rights Of
education. OF ScIiptural matrimony. or oil
the privileges of religion. as. provided in
the Methodist E. Church. is . clear VIC
lation Of the spiri. and teachings Of the
Discipline Of our Church.
3. That in the judgement 81 this con
ference the purify and peace Of the Meth
odiss E. Church would be greatly promo.
ted by an official exposition OF the Gener-
al Rule BY the General Conference.
q. That while we as . conference regret
the use Of recriminating language or the
manifestation Of ncbristian feelings upon
this question, which has SO deeply agita>
ted the public mind. and yet earnestly
desire that. as it is the ultimate. aim OF
the Gospel Of Christ so also our Church
Legislation and moral instruction relating
thereto may constantly keep in view the
present amelioration Of the condition Of
the slave and the final extirpation Of sla,
