Hon. ii. W. H0iiman's Speech In
Salem New jersey

A few days ago Mr.. Hoffman received a
pressing invitation to address a mass meeting
in Salem New jersey, to which he gave Il
favorable response. The Salem Nationa
Standard informs us, the meeting was largs
and enthusiastic, and gives us the following
synopsis OF Mr. Hoffnans speech, which jus.
titles us in saying that it was powerful and
eloquent, and will without doubt do good in
that roble State.
Mr. Hoffman having been introduced said:
1t was with no ordinary degree of pleasure
| that he congratulated the Representatives from,
Pennsylvania and the people Of New Jersey
upon the brilliant and signal victory which
| had Just been achieved over the combined for
ces Of Lucofocoism and Fusion in the States
! Of Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana. As a
Marylander he rejoiced at the opportunity
afforded him to mingle his voice with theirs
! in the glad, exutant shouts which had gon,
up on the announcement Of Curtu's election
in Pennsylvania, and the total rout of shau -
Democracy in Indiana and Ohio. To him it
augured favorable for the best interest OF she
country, and presented a most cheering pros
pect Of entire redemption in November from
the hands of those who enjoyed power but to
abuse it, and who were seeking fur her leas,
OF it, that they night still further perUert it
The victory just achieved WAS one over
which they might well rejoice; it was tn.
first decisive blow which had been struck il
the campaign; it was to the cohorts of Fusion

day on which the great engagement had ta-

a different duty to perform. He had been

fear of maltreatment, there are those who IA
vor his views in reference to the extension OF
Slavery. We must confess that there is some
force in this argument, but will it be just-
fcation for allowing the State to pass into
the hands of the Democracy and giving to
them in all probability United States Sen
ator next fall 2 Then again we are asked what
security have we that If we vote for the Bell
electors that they will not cast the vote OF the
State for Mr.. Douglas or even for Breckin-
ridge, the candidate OF the disunionists, for
Mr.. Dennis declared his willingness in a GER
tain contingency to do so, and Mr. Price in
letter in the Clipper has avowed the sane
purpose and stated still farther that the whole
of the Bell electors entertained the same
views. We are not authorized to answer
this question, and we know that it is a great
difficulty in the minds of many disposed to
vote for Mr.. Bell others will strike the names
Of Dennis and Price from the ticket and vote
for the other electors If then the managers
will revise the ticket or will place the electors
fairly before the peeple,-if they the electors
will pledge themselves to vote for Mr.. Bel
in al and every contingency and no body else
the Bell ticket will get many votes that I'M
der present circumstances it will loose.
Let this matter however be as it may, there
can be no doubt but that majority Of the
people of this State will vote for Mr.. Bell, for
it is not predetermined, but mathematically
certain, that a much larger portion of those
who have heretofore voted for the democracy
than for the Opposition, will vote for Mr..
Lincoln. Maryland then may be set down
for Mr.. Bell, and we hope it may be by an
overwhelming and decisive vote.

PROVIDENCE CONFERENCE FOR 1860.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON SLAVERY.
After consultation and comparison Of views among
your Conn eee, it decided 10 present for resrm-
alton the preamble Of last year, with such changes in
the resolutions the different circumstances OF the
prePsnt seero to require.
The risht or wrong OF Slavery is no longer qaes-
ton IN debate with us. We an agree in the belief that
il ia an institution conceived in sin and brought forth
in iniquty. And surely the atrocous viainy OF tn
system never more manifest than at the present
time, when, in violation of all law, human and divine,
thst feature Of II, which National Legislature
has branded piracy shows itself uRblushingly, aud
even dehsnily, in our country.
This fact alone s sufficient to convince that this Is
no tine for selfco npacency, or the folding OF the
the present summon all Christian PATRIOTS aud espe-
cially CHRISTIAN MIsIsTERs, as with the voice OF
trumpet TO q renewed, and if possible. more deter
mined conflict with this giant sin.
The action of THE Conference, in past years, has
locked especially to the "eztirpation" of ths abom-
ma ion from the Methodist Ke3scOpsl Church, and the
same work. regret TO tsy is still before u.s. Atour
first session, subsequent TO the last General Confer.
ence it was decided by resolution, to be- the ssnse OF
this Conference that the General Rule in discipline
which forbids the buying and selling of meD, women,
and children with intention 20 ensave them does
not authorize the holding of them as slaves and that
the enactment of that rule never designed by our
fathers to fortfy Slavery in the church, against all
ordinary legislation. THIS position still maintain,
and moreover, regard that rule as aimed against th.s
great evil nevertheless as different opinion exists
in some portions of church. deem II advisable TO
employ the means within reach to put the mster
beyond further question.
And inssmuch each Of the propositions presented
for action has already bopeessy failed, not having
obtained the requisite majority, pro the follow
ing resolutions as expressive Of our views:
ROs'd That the change Of the rule known as the PrOy
event Of failure be initiated second choice s the
Erie such action app oaching the nearest to
our own Resolution be secured.
Re0red That the Of the Ministers and Laymens
UIfon sendpt within the bounds Of this Confer
ence hold consultations with lsymen and by
pa7fe and representations create discord
brethren and prejudice against pastors deserves
qualified Teprobation, SAMUEL G. BROWN Chairman
