METHODIST PREACHER INTERFERING WIN SLAVERY.
Dallas, in this State, has recently been the
scene of considerable excitement owing to the
presence If one of these Abolition emissaries con.
nected with the Northern branch of the Methodist
Church, who, not taking the necessary warning
from the summary dismissal of several others Of
bis brethren in the adjoining counties, had the
temertJ to proclaim his nccnGiary doctrines in
Dallas and other localities. public meeting
was held in Dallas on the - h ultimo, at which
Col. j. NJ. Crocksr presided.
The Chairman addresses, the meeting in brief
but pointed manner explanatory of tho object of
the meeting and after the voluntary declarations
and evidence of highly respectable citizens oe the
county was heard, upon motion the chairman ap-
pointed q Committee to draft suitable resOlu-
tions.
Cd The next day the meeting again convened, and
the Committee reported preamble and rosou-
tions, very decided in their tone, and as we should
judge exceedingly unpalatabls to an Abolitionist.
Among them NC find the fcllJwing
Resolved, That we deny the existence of any
state # affairs among that would warrant the
effort on the part of Northern Churches, Bcncvo-
sheeps clothing who, with Bible in hand and
evil in their hearts, g firth preaching the most
dangerous and :nsur:cctionary doctrines and that
we do not accord to any such societies the privil-
cge to interfere with our rights and institutions,
manners and customs That are opposed to
the presence of such persons among us-and will
ctpel them frcm our borders public nuis-
Htce.
Resolved, That we would recommend to the
different churches ia country, for which we
entertain The highest respect and veneratiOr, the
the Importance Of purifying their pulpitS from the
presence Of such persons as come under public
condemnation, for perverting the pulpit from its
Legitimate purpose, and making it subseryient to
their unholy designs.
Resolved, That we believe the safety of our
families, our homes and property is endanger-
by the presence and preaching Of these men, and
that we feel justified in adopting the most string
ent means to restrain and prevent such things.
Resolved, that as law-loving and law-abiding
citizens we look to the laws of our country to pro-
tect US in rights and in the event that the law
cannot reach such offenders, of whose guilt we are
3 morally certain, then we will resort to other
means to protect our lives and property, and will
expel such offenders and ntruders from the soil
they defle by their presence.
Resolved, That We particularly have reference
s. to one Parson Solomon Mckinney against whom
we have ample testimony to warrant us in belev-
ing him guilty of disseminating doctrines of the
tendency above referred toan We take this means
of protesting against the dangerous sentiments he
has preached to our slaves and that we take
this opportunity of warning him to seek field
where the sentiments Of the people are more con-
genial to his own, and not again attempt to preach
10 this community.
= The meeting then adjourned sine die.
isa The resolutions adopted with but one dis
senting voice. The reverend gentleman alluded
/. to was present, and heard the Resolutions read
/. The Herald advises him to leave, and intimates
very strongly that if lie fails to do SO the conse-
/. quenees to him will be quite unpleasant. Other
= localities have also, it appears, had Parson Nc
Kinney's case under consideration. The citizens
,, of Lancaster held meeting, and passed resolu-
:ions that he should not fill his appointment at
that place. and furnished him with a copy. The
country, in a word, is getting too hot to hold
him."--MarshaH Republican.
%Our Democratic contemporaries are publish
ing under the head Uf"A Muir for Abotionists to
Crack" an account of one William Braxton, q
manumitted slave, whom they say recently re-
returned and prayed the court to make him the
slave of one Samuel House. We are not an Abo
Zionist. but we can easily crack that nut in two
ways. If tho report is true, he is but one among
Thousands who have been liberated, either by thei
masters or their own exertions and about the onlI
one who ever voluntarily returned to servitude.-
