| The GENERAL CONFERENCE AND ITS &C
TIoS The quadrenuial Conference of the
! NJ. Il. Church, which met on the lst day Of
May last, adjourned on Monday the 4th inst.
to meet in Phiadelph four years hcnce
As many of our readers are no doubt dcsiI =
Gus to know how the different and important
matters that were brought before that body
were disposed Of we subjoin the following
extract from the last of series of letters
from Rev. Pennel Coombe, of the Philadel-
phia Annual Conference, to the Philadelphia
Daily Nswr.
As resume of the action Of the Confer
ence the letter says
First, and greatest Of all, there is the ques-
ton of slavery. ]. We have now no law on
the subject, except the General Rule which
reads as formerly, "rhe buying and selling
of men, women and children, with an intent
to enslave them" 2. We have struck ont of
the Discipline the law prohibiting official
members and preachers from holding slaves,
and also that Iorbidding the ordination of To-
cal preachers for that cause. 3 We have a
declaration Of sentiment, not so strong as
that cf the Old School Presbyterian Church
in Slavoholding States. 1t reads thus
1--WE believe that the buying, selling or
hotaing of human beings to be used as chat
ties is contrary to the laws Of God and Ma
turc, inconsistent with the Golden Rule, and
with that rule in our discipline which requires
al! who desire to remain among us to "dO no
harm and to avoid evil Of every kind" We,
therefore, affectionatclv admonish all our
preachers and people to keep themselves
pure from this great evil and to seek its ex-
tirpation by all lawful and Christian means. "
This is now our position as Church OF
the subject Of slavery. We hare less ld,c but
more sentiment Many of our people will be
at loss to understand why the northern
men after having made such u terrible out
cry as to what they would DO witt! this sub.
joct, should have the discipline less auti-sla-
very ('eyaNyl than they found it. | will.
therefore, state the reason they give and let
the public Judge for itself of their consisten-
cy. The enemies Of the Church at the North
pronounced our discipline pro-sIavery because
it prohiJited only ministers and official mem
bers by special statute from holding slaves.
Now the majority contend that no distluc-
ton is made, and the spirit Of the law is
against all slaveholdng tUi meTcenaTy pur-
poses, and they are free from all charge OF
o-s.averyism. confess to some piausibll-
ity in this argument, and as they are salts
fed, we on the border should be, and the
matter should rest here and the Church have
peace. AS the question Of Lay Delegation
will now be submitted to the votes OF the
male members, the mind of the Church will
be divirted from this vexcd question, both at
the North aud in the South.
! The second great question is that of LAY
| DELEGATION. This stands thus II. The
| General Conference consents to it in that bo-
DIV mot in the Annual Confereucesl provid-
ed the male members and ministers desire it.
2. To ascertain this, the male members both
white and co!ored, are to vote oy oailot Jor

BOYHOOD.
BY THE LATE CHARLES HAMMOND.

BY THE LATE CHARLES HAMMOND.
How oft, amid the sordid strife
OF worldly wisdom, have turned
The memory's scenes Of early life,
And DER my joyous boyhood mourned ::
How oft have wished, mid care and pain;
To be that buoyant boy again.
To sleep beneath the slanting roof,
And hear the pattering rain drops fall
Or listen to the lively proof
OF vagrants round my airy hall,
Yet rise at morn with wonted glee.
To wade the brook, or climb the tree.
To join the sturdy reaper's train,
What time the lark her matin sings
When, mounting with impassioned strain,
She bathes in light her glimmering wings
And poised in air, is scarcely seen
So high amid the dazzling sheen.
Twas mine to trap beside the stream,
Or angle meath the alders shade,
To tend the plow, or drive the team,
Or seek the herd in distant glade,
Whence oft, from clustering thickcts, shrill;
Rang out the notes of the whipfoorwill.
These trembling notes--so long and Wild
Were music to my boyish ear;
Thought backward fings-and, as a child,
Fen now metbinks the sound hear:
While fancy spreads before my eye
The dewy glade and moonlight sky!
The Glowing herd" now vending slow
Along the wood, their homeward way.
The winding streams dark glossy flow,
The lilied vale, the woodland gay.
Still float in visions bland and bright,
AS on that balmy summers nigth =
When standing on the distant hill,
With boy-born fancics wandring free,
saw no spectred form of i'll
Rise in the bright futurity;
But all, instead, was joyous clear,
Buoyant with hope, untouched with fear.
Oh, those were boyhoois cloudless hours,
And sweet on wings unsullicd few;
But pride soon dream'd of lof,ier bowers,
And wealth he golden lustre threw
Der tempting scenes, as false rs fair,
And bade my spirit seek her there.
And have sought her not in vain,
might have piled her treasures high,
But that scorncd her sordid reign,
And turned from her soulless eye:
/ could not delve her dirty mine,
And would not worship at her shrine.
would not st2op to fattcr power
For any vile or selfish end;
could not change, with every hour,
My faith, my feeling, or my friend;
And, last Of all, would entrust
My hopes to the accursed dust.
The God that reared the woodland heights,
Aud spread the how'ry vallies wide,
Awaked, within my mind, delights
That spurned the lures OF human pride;
And stern forbade, in accents known,
To worship aught beneath his throne.
