BUFFALO, May l6, 1S6O.-The proceedings of the
Methodist Episcopal General Conference to-day
were OF more general interest than they have here
tofore been. The reports of the Slavery Commit
tee, which have been so anXiously looked for, and
about which there has been much speculation
were to-day presented, read and ordered to be
printed. Both the majority and minority reports
were accounts of some length, occupying nearly
two hours in the reading. The majority report
recommends change in the present rule. The
minority report recommends an official declaration
on the part OF the General Conference, eafirming
the anti-slavery position of the Church, and that
the Committee on Pastoral Address he instructed
to state this position to all the churches, and to
give such counsel as they may deem advisable.

the rule, and ordered to be printed. Before the
presentation of the slavery reports, Dr. Dempster.
OF the Rock River Conference, presented a huge
bundle OF petitions from England, praying for a
change Of the slavery rule.
Mr. Moody objected to the reading, and moved
that they be returned to the offerer. He objected
to the precipitation of avalanche of foreign in
1uence upon this Conference.
Objection being made to the discussion of the
subject, and the point of order being raised that
the presentation OF the memorials was out of order,
the chair decided that it was privileged question
An appeal from this decision was taken, and the
decision reversed, thus ruling out the memorials
for the present.

local preachers of the NJ. Il. Church of Baltimore
was admitted to the platform. and presented me-
mortal from $4,000 local preachers against change
in the slavery rule.
