MIR. Putnam's Appeal.

In justice to Mr. Putnam, whose course
In relation to emigration has been severely
animadverted upon by several of our cor
respondents, we publish this week docu-
ment from him in which he defines his po-
sition. 1t will be found on our first page.
Accompanying it was the following note /:
To the Editor Of the Anglo-African:
DEAR SIR:-The accompanying docu-
ment is intended to convey to the colored
people the information necessary to re-
lieve them of all suspicion in reference to
the utility of the labor that has fallen upon
me to perform, and it is respectfully sub
mitted to you for the "Anglo-African.
My object is to open to view a brilliant
future, without any attempt to give an ac-

The Southern Conference of the
A. MI. Il. Zion Connection.

BALTIMORE April 6, 1860.
The annual session of this body COM
menced on the 31st of March, in South
Howard street chapel, and have been pro-
crossing with the usual interest during the
present week. 1t is composed of fifteen or
twenty members and delegates, and is pre-
sided over by General Superintendent w.
FL. Bishop and his colleague, Joseph J.
Clinton. The encouraging accounts given
by the members of their fields of labor
the increasing interest which many mani
fest in the Sabbath-school enterprise, with
the sure indication of general reform, af-
ford evidences of advancement in this sec
ton Of very hopeful character. A num-
Bur of important resolutions have been IN
der consideration during the week, calling
forth animated discussions, which, how
ever, are conducted in the most friendly
manner. There are interesting meetings
held nightly till ten o'clock, attended by
large numbers of attentive and well-be-
haved persons, who evidently appreciate
the religious services.
Yesterday was in many important re-
spects the most interesting day of the Con.
ference. During the session large mum.
Der of distinguished visitors were intro
duced to the Conference, and assigned seat:
within the Bar, witnessing the reception o.
candidates into the itinerant field, and lis
tening to spirited discussion upon a lega
point of discipline. Every colored de
nomination in the city, save one, was re
presented by one or more of their mos
distinguished ministers, who, with the Con
ference, having been previously invited
repaired to the residence of Mr.. John FL
Butler, of the Galbrieth Lyceum, and par
| took of a union dinner-a most sumptioui
repast-the company sitting down to dine
at two, and having passed through the
usual courses of a first class dinner, (tC
which every one present done full justice
arose after registering their names, at five
o'clock, Though costly, and regarded by
some extravagant, yet, as an effort to de
away with these sectarian feelings which
unfortunately divide our people, and t.
bring about union of the ministry of al

interest, and speaks well for the liberality
and correct views of religious reform enter

California Correspondence.
Letter from MarysviIIe.
MARYsv1LLE, Cal, March Z, 1860

NiAhisN WILLIE, Sdl', halS - Aoo"'
DEAR ANGLo:-Since my last communi-
cation there has been very little of a local
nature to arouse, excite, or interest any
one; with the exception of supposed
murder, suicide, and an accidental drown
ing, nothing has occurred to excite the
public pulse.
There has been some movement in the
political world. The Douglas and Anti
Administration party, since they have lost
their honored and much lamented leader,
David c. Broderick, and the gradual verg-
ing into the Administration ranks of the
Hon. Stephen A. Douglas, their great
chieftain and standard bearer, they have be-
come entirely submerged by the Republi-
cans and Administration Democrats
parties have held their State conventions
for the election of delegates to represent
California in the national conventions to be
held in Chicago and Charleston. The
choice of this State for President, by the
Republicans, is your honored statesman,
VIM. Fl. Seward-by the Democracy,
Daniel S. Dickinson, also Of your State.
During the last session Of the Democratic
Convention, a resolution was introduced by
Mr.. Geiger, declaring Stephen A. Douglas
the last choice of the Democracy of Cali
fornia. This was a frebrand thrown
amongst the unterrifed. D. A. Buel, of
Del Norte, moved that the resolution be
laid upon the table; this produced the
greatest of excitement; for long time
nothing could be heard but the heavy ham,
mer of the Presidential last order was
restored, and the motion to lay upon the
table was carried by vote of 282 to 65,
which caused great enthusiasm among the
friends of Douglas. In the Legislature
several days ago Mr.. Warner, of the
House, introduced bill amendatory to the
law regulating marriage contracts. The
LIST section forbids the intermarrying of
first and second cousins; another section
forbids white persons from marrying any
person having any consanquinity to the
African or Monaghan races, making all
such marriages null and void. 1t was re-
ferred to the Judiciary Committee. l will
acquaint you of the acts Of these wise
solons.
The Rev. T. NJ d. Ward, missionary ell
der for the Pacific coast, will take his depar-
ture for the Atlantic States on the next
steamer or the one following. He goes on
for the purpose Of attending the General
Conference to be held at Pittsburg in May
next, to lay before that honorable body
the urgent and growing want Of Bishop
and additional elders on the Pacific coast.
Mr. Ward has been an earnest and faith
tul laborer in the cause for the past six
years; he has had to contend with many
difficulties in the discharge of his laborious
outles-he has established eight or nine
tnurches, which are in prosperous con-
uaOn' This is very extensive field,
