Clancy spoke at length in favor of granting the
prayer OF the memorialists, but declared in sub
stance that be was utterly opposed to a division
OF the Church and did not faver secession. Rev
j. j. White also spoke in the same strain, and de.
ciared that he would forever oppose division
though he apprehended the Western Conferences
would not abide by the regulations of the Corsti-
tuition and discipline if the General Conference re-
fuse TO grant their desires. In other words. they
would reyoutionize tho Church in the Vest
Rev VIM. Reeves declared that he did not sub
scribe to the whole of the Cincinnati Memorial
that he would not he willing to make slavery a
test of membership, and was heartily in favor of
the union of the entire church. After sundry
addresses by Rev. Dr. IIolcombe. Rev. J. G. Whit
field, and others, the report was adopted The
report affirms that the questions in the memorial
are to be settled by the local judiciaries and not
by General Conference.
Rev. }. Warden offered series of resolutions
providing for the call of convention by the AN.
nual conferences represented in the Cincinnati
Convention, to take place before 1862. in which
are to be considered the questions contained in the
Cincinnati Memorial.
The resolutions were adopted, after the addition
of another ciause allowing the convention. also,

strictive rule to allow ministers to be retained
four years in circuits and stations, if expedent''
This series ofmeasures as designed to be concia-
tory, and as they propose to accommodate as far
as possible, the conflicting sentiments that now
prevail throughout the country, it is hoped they
may have the effect to harmonize the whole
church.
By vote of the Conference, Georgetown, Z. c.,
was appointed for the next place of meeting.
On motion of Rev Josiah Warden. Messrs Rhine
heart, Bernard and II Collier were appointed
committee to make a settlement with the Board of
Missions and to continue Rev. John Seysmith in
Des Moine Mission.
The ration of representation in the General Con-
ference was fixed at one minister and one lavman
for every one thousand members, in certain con-
