Northern Methodism and Slavery.

The action of the Methodist Conference of
eastern New York, the other day on the
"Erie Rule" so called, was emphatic, the
majority being largely against the "rule."
This rule was adopted at the Erie Conference
last year, and consists Of request of the
Quadrennial General Conference that it will
so alter the General Rule of Discipline as to
exclude all slave holders from communion
with the church. The Quadrennial General
Con ference will be held at Buffalo on the LIST
of May. 1t requires, we understand, the
concurrence of two thirds of the local con-
ferences to alter the rule, which has not been,
and, we are happy to say, cannot be obtained
So, for the present, at any rate, Methodism
does rot prohibit shareholders from going to
heaven by its path.

The .lnternatlOnal Fight"

The Herald expects intelligence OF the
result of the "mill between KEENAN, and
SAVERS by the Vanderbilt, due at New
York the latter part Of the present week.
Of the feeling in New York, it says:
Betting in New York has undergone consider.
able fuctuation during the last few days. The
friends of Heenan who the week previous were
so anxious to invest their loose cash on their
champion, suddenly refused to back him for
even money, and in some cases the odds of
$lOO to 500 against him were refused. The
Persia intelligence still further increased the
confidence of the English champions friends,
and $1,000 to $500 were wagered two or three
times on his winning the fight. The largest
taker OF the above-named odds was a gentle
man who has hitherto been one of the staunch-
est and heaviest hackers of Savers, but who
has now learned good reasons, as he judges.
for hedging. his money. Still, very heavy
amount is waiting investment at evens on Say
ers, with but little probability of meeting with
q chance of so doing before the result is known.
In Boston the Benicia Boy has always been and
still continues the favorite at slight odds. and
large amount of money is there dependen. on
the fight.
HEENAN, in letter to the Ci,pp.f-
sporting paper-dated March 20, at Bed
ford, England, states the day of the fight
had been changed to the 18th. He adis
ave are all well, and in good spirits and
if l do not fight and do my duty on the 18th,
call me canary Bird" Satisfactory.
JOHN MoRR1sEY who has announced his
intention to again fight HEENAN, if the lat
ter whips SAVERS, writes as follows OF an
interview he had with the English Champ~
on: -
THE next morning took breakfast with
him, as also did Mr.. Berghaus, an artist, who
was sent out in the same ship with me by Frank
Leslie to illustrate the fight Sayers good ma.
turedly stripped for him, and put up his hands
that he might make good likeness of him. and
showed him everything from his fighting shoes
to the buttons on his shirt. He is the best
fidence is perfect. His system of training is
different from that of any man you even hea I'd
of-.no sparring. no fighting of bags no nom
tsepse of any sort, and he does at any and all
times pretty much what he feels like doing at
the moment Next week l shall probably 90
down to Newmarket to remain with him until
the fight, and as / have got a little more flesh
on me than want, shall not object to taking
part of his work with him day in and day out
till the great event comes of.
He did not show any inquistiveness about
Heenan at all, but looks upon the fight as a
sure thing. He has laid considerable money
at to 4, and when l told him that among the
last things did on leaving was to make two
large bets on him at 5 to 4, he regretted that
he could not get the chance for such an invest
ment here.
LArER.-Heenan and Sayers were both
arrested near Derby on the morning of good
Friday, and were kept in custody until the
day the America sailed, when they were %
have been brought before the magistra1e.
1t was supposed that the fight would be in.
definitely postponed.

The Lennon Case.

In 1852, JONATHAN LENNON was a resi-.
dent of Virginia, and the owner of several
slaves. Desiring to change his residence to
Texas, the most convenient method of taking
his slaves there was by bringing them to
New York city, and then sending them by
a vessel to their destination. He sent them
there, and the fact that they were slaves
becoming known among the colored popula-
ton, the relator. LOUIS NAPOLEON, colored
man, went before Judge PAINE Of the Su-
perior Court, and obtained writ of habeas
corpus, commanding Mr.. LENNON to bring
the slaves into court. After hearing the
merits of the case, Judge PAINE held that
there was no ground for holding them, and
that they were free under our State law.
He accordingly discharged them from GUS
tody, and their colored friends soon after
words sent them to Canada. The decision
of Judge PAINE being of considerable im-
portance, as regarded the rights of slavehold-
ers to travel with their slaves through the
free States, the State of Virginia immediate
ly took up the question, by assisting Mr..
LENNON to further contest it in our courts.
A certiorari was taken to the Supreme
Court, and it was argued before the General
Term two years ago. Justices MITCHELL,
CLERKE, PEABODY and DAVIS held that
Judge PAINE had decided right and affirmed
the judgment. Judge ROOSEVELT delivered
dissenting opinion. An appeal was taken
to the Court of Appeals, and it was argued
at the last term, and decision rendered,
affirming the judgment Of the Supreme
Court, at the recent session of the Court of
Appeals at Albany. Judges CLERKE, Sci.
DEN and CoMsTocK dissented. Opinions for
afirmance were delivered by Judges DEMO
and WRIGHT. Judge CLERKE rendered
dissenting opinion. Immediately after the
slaves were liberated, by Judge PAINE s
decision, a subscription was started, which
was headed by Judge P, who gave liberal
sum, to reimburse Mr.. LENNON for the loss
Of bis property, and the full value Of the
slaves was returned to him.

ton..The Delegates to Charleston.
Will they betray their Constituents.

Correspondence of the Pioneer and Democrat
WASHINGTON CRY, April II.
1t is surprising with what malignant fa-
~ the Administration assails Judge DoUa-
LAS and his friends, it being now mani
fest that unless the people are betrayed by
pretended friends and false pretences, the
Little Giant will be the next President of
the United States. His nomination is al
most sure, and even beyond contingency I'M.
less men have stole into delegations under
the guise of Douglas men, only to betray
him.
To all such, it is sincerely hoped the peo-
pie will rebuke and brand as false to their
pledges and traitors to their party.
1t is no less strange how it gets out from
day to day in this city that DOUGLAS is not
to get the votes of BECKER, EDaERroN and
FR1DLEY, after the first few ballots, if ever,
under any circumstances. PHELPS, RossEk,
GoRMAN, OAvANAUaH, and SHELLEY are as
true to DOUGLAS as the ''needle to the pole"
first, last and ever-until he is nominated
or fairly beaten. The following appeared
in the Star of this evening:
MINNESOTA AT CHARLEsToN.-Quite a num-
Der of the Minnesota delegation to the Charles.
ton Convention are now in Washington, and it
is evident that out of the five votes to which
the State is entitled in the Convention, Mr..
Douglas is sure of receiving but two.
1t is not to be disguised that we are
hopelessly beaten in our State unless we get
DOUGLAS nominated, and yet men can be
found pretending to be Democrats from our
State that are moving heaven and earth to
defeat him. After the solemn pledge made
by each and every delegate from Minneso.
ia, to stand by and support DOUGLAS as long
as his interest and that of the party re-
quired or demanded it, it is strange how
honest or honorable men can so degrade their
personal and political character as to betray
the people who sent them to Charleston to
help nominate DOUGLAS. If any of our DEL
egates should betray DOUGLAS, and thus be.
tray their people and pledges, let the scor-
pion lash be laid on them by their people
at home, and let them be held up to that
scorn and contempt due to treason, treach-
cry and traitors. Although the Star says
that DOUGLAS can only get two votes out
of the four, I do not, cannot believe it.
they all say they are for DOUGLAS, and we
must believe them until we see to the con-
trary.
1t is quite manifest that DOUGLAS must
be nominated. Truly yours, F.

eighty, and the principle at the foundation of
all popular government. The more it is dis
cussed the stronger it will become" Can
anything be stronger than this language.
Gould anybody have given more explicit
or more emphatic Endorsement of Popular
Sovereignty, as understood by Gov. WAL
KER and Judge DOUGLAS, than this Mr..
BUCHANAN declares that if the Convention
should adopt this principle, censures of the
Southern States will pass away and be for
gotten. In replying to these censures he
advises Gov. WALKER "to make the great
principle of the submission Of the Oonstitu-
ton to the bona fde residents of Kansas con.
spicuously prominent. On this you wiH be
irresistible" Gov. WALKER acted upon this
advice. He insisted upon the adoption of
this policy. But when it was discarded by
the Convention, and they refused to follow
the Presidents advice, the President himself
took exactly the opposite ground, and de
nounced Gov. WALKER for having acted
upon bis recommendations
From the time that the warfare COM
menced on WALKER and DOUGLAS, the Pres
ident and his adherents have denied that
Gov. WALKERS course in Kansas was sane
toned by Mr.. BUCHANAN; and in his
message Of December, 1858, the President
makes long argument to prove that he had
no power to advise rejection of the consti-
tuition if it were not submitted to the people.
I" To have done this" he says, would have
been violation of the Kansas and Nebraska
act; it would have equally violated the
great principle Of Popular Sovereignty at
the foundation of our institutions; it would
have been in opposition to many precedents
in our hstory-commencingi in the very
best age of the republic-of the admission
of territories as states into the Union NTH
out previous vote of the people approving
their constitution"
We do not believe the history of Amer
lean politics affords an instance of such
black-hearted treachery, as this letter proves
animated BUCHANAN in his warfare upon
WALKER and DOUGLAS. But the production
of the epistle at this time, carries with it
sort of retributive justice upon its author,
for it cannot be without powerful and ben
eficial effect upon southern delegates at
Charleston.

Washington News.
WASHINGTON, April 20.

WAShiN2ToN, ApTN ~.
Governor Walkers appearance before the
Covode Committee this morning, created
great sensation. He spoke about two
hours, was easy, cool and collected, and laid
bare his whole relation to Mr.. Buchanan on
the Kansas question with master hand.
1t ought to be recolected that the recent
course of Gov. Walker has not given salts
faction to the rebels. They regarded him
as having cayed in to the Establishments Of
the Administration, and they have always
demanded that be should justify them and
himself by exposing Mr.. Bucbanan's pre-
tended private instructions to him on the
Kansas question. Though free in letting
the contents of this letter be known to his
friends, he refused to make it known to the
public until the proper time arrived. This
time has arrived, and Walker stands vim
dicated to his country and his friends.

The New England Methodist conference
was in session in Springfield, Mass, last
week. The Republican says: "The election
Of six delegates from this conference to the
general conference of the Methodist Church,
north, at Buffalo, in May, occupied the Fri
day afternoon session. So far as there was
any contest, it was personal; as on the ques
tion which will agitate the general confer
ence of changing the rules of discipline so as
to exclude all shareholders from sAIrch mem>

for the change and exclusion"

Corruption at the Rhode Island EIectioL

Corruption at the Rhode Island Election.
A letter from Providence, R. l., in speak
ing of the election in that state, says that
never before was there such an excitement
at the polls. The corruption has been most
disgraceful. Money has been poured out
by thousands, and men stood around the
polls padded with bills, openly buying voters,
at prices varying from five to sixty dollars.
One individual in Providence put his vote
up at auction, and, after spirited bid from
the two parties, it was knocked down at
thirty-ive dollars to the Union men. This
system of purchase was commenced at an
early hour in the day by the PADELFoRD
party, and, as an effect, their opponents were
compelled to pursue similar course, to
counterfeit the powerful persuasions thus
employed. The result is that the funds of
the former party soon gave out, and from
that time forward the gains were all in favor
of SPRAaUE. Nothing like this public and
private wholesale bribery has ever been seen
in Rhode Island. Probably one hundred
and sixty thousand dollars between the two
parties have thus changed hands, besides
the large amount invested in bets. The
same system of corruption has prevailed
throughout the state, and with such bare
tacedness that men of property paying taxes
have asked and received the prices of their
votes
