CIRCULAR.

Report Of the Committee Of the Pittsburgh Annual
Conference on the action of the General Confer
ence, held in Lynch6urgh. "a, in relation to the
call Of a General Contention. adopted wih
only one dissenting rote.
The Committee to whom was referred the Vardon
plan, adopted by the General Conference of the
Methods. Protestant Church in Lynchburg, Va,
in 1858, and the conditions offered by that 10 ~. to
the Conferences of said Church. in the West and
North. under which the call of a Convention in
1862 is recommended Ask leave to make the
following report:
lst. The time is too distant. To leavs all our
churches in the free states firmly bound to remain
as they now are, for four years longer. would be
to scatter them 10 fragments among the surround
ing denominations, or drive them into indepen'
dency. aud leave but few to reap the benefits, to be
derived from the action of the proposed Conven.
ton in 1862. Something must be done. at an early
date, TO save our cause in the parts alluded to,
from utter and inevitable ruin.
I'd. The action taken by the General Confer
ence is dictatorial and unfair. Dictatoriai, because
it is the South alone, settling the terms upon which
a convention shall be called. Unfair, because the
South holds on to the advantages gained by herself,
in 1888. and 1854, in first abridging the liberty OF
the Press. to favor slavery, and then throwing oul
both the Papers and the Book concerns, to Con
yentiopnl control, TO benefit the slave interest; and
yet, il between this and 1862. the North and West
to save themselves from utter ruin, shall attempl
to change the constitution or discipline-no Con
v%ention will be called.
Sd. BY Constitutional provision. the Genera
Conference, has now no Legislative, jud!
DIAL Or execute power over slavery in the South
But the plan asks for the slave system more thar
this-if a Convention is called, the West and Norti
are to ledge themselves. SO to amend the c~onstitu
ton, as to leave the General Conference, utterly
destitute of the right to express an opinion on ths
moral character Of the slave trade. or slayedea
ing. The right Of opinion on moral questions, car
never 10 surrendered.

|. II wo agree to the Vardon plan, and to call
y Convention on said plan, we must nithal, SO
agree to amend the constitution. as to have n per.
iectly sectarian Book concern, in which shall DO
puslished only the church LYNN book, discipline:
and the minutes Of the Conference. Thus cxclud.
ing all christian literature and the Book OF Col,
which in our opinion. would be regarded as dis,
graceful in the eyes of all Protestant churches.
9th, Ii we concur in the call Of n Convention
on the plan of the General Conference, then we
agree by an amendment to our church constitution
to give the sanction Of fundamental law to the
present unconstitutiona position of our sectional
church papers. Instead of doing this, we should
with becoming frmness, rebuke the uncon'
stitutional acts, by which the liberty of the
Press was abridged. TO favor slavery, by the Book
Committee in Baltimore, in 1888, and by which
the Presses Of the church were made sectional, UNI
der Conventional control in 1854.
WHEREFORE be il Resolved, LIST, by the Pittsburgh
Annual Conference of the Methodist Protestnn,
Church, now assembled in Connellsville, Pa, THAT
we do not agree to call a Convention at the tim
nor under restrictions, nor with all the objects had
in view by the late General Conference.
Resolved, I'd. That we hereby SC. our seal
of condemnation on slavery in the NJ. p. G. in the
South as having been Mt the foundation Of al our
troubles with our Southern brethren it has tram
meled our church press-it has thrown out to for
eign control, interests which belonged constitution,
ally, to 1.-THE GeneralConference to care for and man,
age 1T has broken the brotherhood Of the church,
5, that the parties can no longer work together-il
now arroGates to itself the right to dictate the
terms on which n convention shall be called-it prc.
poses to degrade the West and Nortb!in the term.
offered, by bint ing them all to do its bidding oil
get no Convention after all.
Resolved, 81. That we cannot sacrifice the Nj.
7. Z. in the West and North. to a union with the
South, when said union is Of no value to either
party, and degrades us into slaves by taking from
us the liberty Of the Press.

The mighty efforts put forth by the South to sus.

thern politicians, who meanly obey the behests of
their masters-the cowardice, and the trucking
policy OF the great mass of those who claim to be
the opponents of the slave power-the efforts Of
sectarian organizations to preach peace, when there
should be no peace. and cannot be. except to curse
our nation these, all these demand of tho true
friends of freedom that they, at least, shall con.
tinue to be faithful among the faithless found
Come up then to the help Of the slave against

METHODIST PROTESTANT CHuRcH.-Last year the
local conferences Of the Methodist Protestant
Church in Ohio and Pennsylvania came deliberate
ly to the conclusion that a continued union with
the slaveholding branch Of their Church, on exist
ing terms, complicated them with the yin Of slave
holding: That the Northern members of the
Church thus viewed it and would not longer submit
to such a union. They therefore presented the ques-
ton to the last General Conference at Lynchburg,
Virginia, when a plan was adopted and conditions
%proffered to the north western churches for a settle
men of the question. The Pittsburgh Conference
has just closed its annual session at Connellsville,
during which the Conference expressed its disap.
prevail Of the proposed plan. A division of the
Church on this question may now be expected
The report of the committee on the subject will be
found in a preceding column.
