organs deprecating it's results as likely to preju-
dice the action Of the next General Conference
against the very movement the convention was
held to promote. These bypocrites belong to the
class Of men who are always whining about the
effects of abolitionism in r~etarding emancipation,
They acquire their ability to do harm, mainly
by their anti'slayery professions, and are the men
who are really perpotuatiDg slavery in the Church.
ABOLITION OF SERrDoM IN RussIA.-The EN-.
peror of Russia is quietly pressing forward the
work of emancipation. BY an imperial decree
dated December I'd. he has authorized the appoint
ment of special committees in three of his prov.
inces to elaborate the necessary measures. The
decree is accompanied by an explanatory letter
from the minister of the interior intimating that
the same measures will be adopted in other prov
inces besides those named. This ministerial let
ter states that a previously appointed committee
having expressed a desire for the abolition Of
%serfdom, his Majesty has learned with especial
satisfaction this noble wish on the part of the
representatives Of the nobility, and has therefore
authorized the preparation of a scheme with that
object. The abolition of s%erfdom, however, is
not to be effected at once, but progressively the
peasants are at first to pass through a transition
state, being more or less attached to the land
during a term not exceeding twelve years, aftel
which they will definitely become free men, anC

ADDRESS OF THE METHODIST ANTI-SLAvERY Con-
MENTIONING publish on our first page the great
err part of the address of the Methodist Anti.
Slavery Convention recently held at Rochester
New York, as exhibiting the reasons by which
the earnestly anti.slavery PORTION Of that Church
justify their present connection herewith
Though we cannot agree with these brethren with
regard to the positive anti-slavery character OF
their General Rule on the subject, yet We rejoice
in ali their earnest efforts to free the Church
from its practical support Of the diabolical system.
There are many in the Church and the number is
increasing who are thus laboring, though their
labors are in great measures Invested of their
Legitimate moral influence while they recognize
through the Church organization, the christian
standing of slave.holding conferences, churches
ard members
These anti.slavery Methoaists of whom we
speak are altogether of another sort from members
of that communion and some of them ministers
with whom we often meet, who either ignorantly
or mendaciously affirm that there is no slavehold-
ing in their Church and who, though loud in their
professions of anti-slavery are evidently much more
anxious to e~xtirpate abolitionism than slavery.
This class of men ara opposed to the action of the
Rochester Convention and are through the official

ELECTIVE ArFINITY.-The New School Presby-
terrain Church in Glendale, Hamilton County, in
this State, has by unanimous vote, gone over to the
Old School Presbyterian Church. Our readers
will remember that the New School Presbyterian
Shareholders resolved last spring to leave their
northern brethren. Is it because the Glendale
Presbyterians miss their slavedriving brethren at
the communion table that they have gone to the
Old School Church, which rejoices in such prac-
tees as especially christian:

and as for every day OF our stay an appointment
was already made. we declined the challenge,
when Mr.. u. Bolton, an intelligent and earnest
Republican Of the neighborhood. promptly took
up the gauntlet and volunteered to sustain the
doubt the DR.. has ere this found his hands full
AT the same meeting a Methodist Episcopal cler'
gyman m~odestly suggested that we we're in error in
one of our statements, at the same time expressing
his appreciation of the general principles we had
advanced. After we left, however he showed
himself quite inferior in manhood and honesty to
his Democratic brother, the Doctor, by calling u
meeting to review our discourse and make manifest
our infdelity. The people Of Etna Green, however
did not, rs we are told, :uru out in any considerable
numbers to witness The performance. AT Bourbon
and in its vicinity as also in several other places
we had large and interesting meetings. But oil
them WI cannot now particularize.
The whole community is strongly ~pervaded by
the anti-slavery sentiment, and among it is to bt
found much intelligence and moral principle; Blu
Republicanism was the highest standard Of anti
slavery with which the majority were acquainted
They had heard Of Garrison and the Fosters ant
the iEfdel disunion abolitionists. But it was on
fortune to give them the first sight of a veritabl
specimen Of the class who publicly advocated tha
chief Of heresies, political and ecclesiastical, an
union with Shareholders. For the success of GU
meetings wo are much indebted to the true friend
OF the slave. especially to Mr.. A. II. Buchanan an,

learn from the Standard, that the series Of
Anti.Slavery meetings which for some time pas,
has been in progress in the vicinity of New York
has been interrupted by the i'll health Of. Mr.
Powell. and the necessary previous engagements
of Miss Anthony. The Standard expresses the
hope that Miss A. will room return to this field
when she will receive the cooperation of Charles
Lenox Remond.
OF the success of the effort thus far the Stand
ard says:
We are happy to assure our friends at a dis
lance that the openings for anti slavery labor in
tho region around New York are quite numerous
and of such q character as to make us feel The
deepest regret in view of the pecuniary inability
of the American Society to enter the field, at this
juncture. with a full corps of agents. They
would, if sent forth now, meet with eager listen
ers, and in due time, we doubt not, a gloriou,
harvest would spring up from the good seed which
they would scatter-a harvest that would replen
ish the treasury as well as augment the mora
power of the Society.

A SOUTHERN EXPLANATION OF Mr.. DOUGLAS
CoURsE.-The Vicksburg Southron says:
'As some explanation of the unex pected change
in the action of Mr.. Douglas, we may state that
several months since the Illinois Senator disposed
of his estate in Mississippi and having no longer
any tangible interest in the peculiar institution,
we presume no thought the occasion q good one to
conciliate the free soil fanatics of the North and
Northwest"
More than a year ago Mr., Douglas, in a speech
in the the United States Senate, denied the charge
Of owning property in slaves, declaring that the
only personal connection he had with the insti
tuition was as guardian of the children who had
inherited the plantation Of his deceased wife, who,
previously to her marriage with him was a resi-
dent of the South. This seems to dispose Of
the Southern theory Of Mr.. Douglas conduct, for
which the reasons as too obvious to need explain.
