Methodists and Slavery-Erie Confer

A number of the Methodist Episcopal
Clergymen have addressed a circular TO their
denomination recounting the history of the
Church as connected with Slavery, and stat
ing that they felt that it is our bounden
duty to secure. if possible, at the next Ses-
sion of our General Conference, which takes
place at Buffalo, \. Y, May LIST, 1860, a
disciplinary rule, by which all shareholders
shall be declared ineligible to membership
in the Methodist Episcopal Church. Slave
II is deeply cursing our nation. and its
malign influence is not less deadly upon the
church of God; and We feel it our duty as
much as in US lieth, to remove this curse,
and to wipe away this reproach from the
otherwise pure escutcheons of our common
Methodism." They desire, therefore, that
memorials OF this subject be sent to the
Conference.
The Erie Annual Conference met at
Brookfeld, Pa. July 18th. and closed its
sessions July Goth. 1t was the first of the
forty seven Annual Conferences to elect del
egates to the Buffalo General Conference
The list is seven, elected in the order as
follows:
Calvin Kingsley, D. D., editor Western
Christian Advocate, by a unanimous vote.
Moses Hill. Cleveland.
Hiram Linsley, Meadville, Pa.
E. J.. L. Baker, Cuyahoga Falls.
]. E. Chaplin, Clarion, Pa
G.. W. Clarke, Akron.
J. Balm, gainesville.
The question of general interest before the
Conference was Slavery. 1t was resolved
that the General Rule in the Discipline on
Slavery be 50 changed as to read thus:
The buying, selling, holding or trans
ferring any human being to be used in
Slavery"
The vote stood-Aye, Isl; Nay, O.
Cicceiand Leader.

tails and tie terms Of the Treaty have
been received.
The Cleveland HerGla, says:
Napoleon and Joseph have met and de-
clared q new partition offs portion of PIPER
Italy. Austria resigns her power over
Lombardy, presenting it to France, and
Napoleon immediately transfers it over to
Sardinia. Austria retains Venice. and we
Suppose matters at Rome itself and in the
States Of the Church remain in s.atu quo.
The most that has been accomplished is
what Napoleon III. had particularly in view,
viz. his own eclat with the French Nation.
He needed tie prestige of military fame to
settle him in his Imperial seat. That he
now has achieved; his uncle never returned
to Paris after his most brilliant campaign
with more military glory than has Napole-
on III. won in a sixty day campaign.-
What other results may flow from this war
1t is too soon to determine.
Austria has been shcrn of her strength.
So far SO good. That is a blow at a tyran-
meal monarchy, which, to a certain extent,
comes from the masses. 1t humiliates a
cruel dynasty, it makes Que step towards
recognition of the rights of the people.
Although the Pope is not stripped of his
authority, his temporal power is very much
shOrn of its strength. The Honorary
title of President over the Italian Confede-
ration is awarded him, but cven that con-
cession only shows that he must take what
the beiligerent powers are willing to con-
'ede. He has no power of his own. The
reclamation Of Lombardy from Austria is a
blow at Popcry, for every intelligent
knows that the Pope. if he dare,
would espouse the Austrian side.
But in their settlement, how fares poor
Hungary? The hofe of Ter release has IA
led. kOssuth will again be an exile, and
III the sins visited upon his native country
viii go ~unredresscd.

DRowNED.-A boy named Charles Lacy,
aged about nine years, son of AIonzo Lacy,
residing at the foot of Wood street, was
drowned in the lake on Saturday evening.
He was bathing in company with some 9TH
er boys, and dived in deep water, when, as
Is supposed. he became strangled, as his
companions say he was unable longer to
help himself, and soon drowned. The other
boys were too young to render him any as
sistance. The parents of the boy were alb
sent from home at the time, and when they
returned and learned the sad news. the
mother was seized with commissions and be-
came for n time a maniac. Yesterday her
reason had returned, and she was more

The St. Louis Republican says a youth
in that city, whose home is somewhere in
Connecticut, attempted TO save money on
his journey home by getting himself OK
pressed through. Some one as foolish as
himself had been persuaded to pack him
loosely in a box of hay. There was some
thing altogether singular about this box,
and the express men insisted upon its being
opened before it left their Office; which was
accordingly done, and the young man bathed

The Stark County Democrat says, that
on Tuesday morning of last week. a man,

his arm in the cutter. lie is. however, in

One of the horses stolen from james Ho-

JEFFERSON, Monday, July IL, 1859.
Beng. Price, Secretary Ct Natio'aGI Loao
Reform 4SSocictioa:
SIE: l have just received your circular,
and also a memorial to Congress-, in relation
to the freedom of our Public Lands. 1t
gives me great pleasure to witness the de-
termined and the energetic cours your So
ciety are pursuing upon this subject, as it
will also, to give your memorial the widest
circulation, for of all the important subjects
that are pending before Congress. or that
can come before that body, none is more
important than the distribution of our pub
lie lands, for, in my judgement, upon that
may in future depend the character of the
Republic itself.
Land in limited quantities to the actual
settlers. and down with all ~monopolies of
the public land. should be the watchword
of all who have the welfare of the people at
heart. and are truly the friends of a simple
republican government | thank God,
through my whole term in Congress l have
never voted for any of those railroad grants,
except that great national project Of a rail
read to the Pacific.
1t seems almost unnecessary to circulate
a petition in this State upon the subject
proposed, as our people are more nearly
unanimous upon this subject than any 9th
er. In the largest convention ever held in
this State by the Republicans, it was made
a fundamental principle Of the platform by
an unanimous vote, and woe to the represen-
tative in Congress, of any party, who shall
fail TO stand by the principle.
The only serious opposition with which
will be met will be from the southern or
slave-holding States.
1t was from that quarter it received a f.
tai blow in the last Congress, being killed
in the Senate by the casting vote Of Vice
President Breckenridge, yet l have every
reason to believe that, had it escaped this
and passed Congress, it would have
met the same fate by the veto of Mr.. Bu-
chanan. But the game of the monopolists
is nearly played out, its enemies cannot pre-
vent its triumph beyond the term of the
Administration.
The voice of the people is for it. and on
this measure at least, 1.-The voice of the peo-
pie is the voice of God" | have the hon.
Or to be.
