A week or two ago we stated that CAL
ifornia would not vote for Linceln.-
We then thought just what we said.
The Democracy have had such absolute
control Of that State that we did not
suppose it possible to redeem it But
the last accounts from there put quite a
different aspect ON the canvas. The cir
conflict has, broken out be-
tween the two wings of the party with a
bitterness unknown elsewhere. With
this intestine warfare, and the constant
accessions to the Republican ranks, it is
now believed that Lincoln will easily
carry the Golden State. If so, he will
doubtless sweep every Free State in the
Union. ,.'-.

Ex-Gov. Foot of Mississippi, the eel
ebrated Know Nothing, undertook to
make Douglas speech at Richmond,
Va, few days since, but had very
hard time of it. The Breckinridgers
interrupted him, and annoyed him. in
sundry ways, but especially by asking
him unpleasant questions. 0. Jennings
Wise. a son of the renowned Governor,
wanted to discuss matters with the
Know Nothing Douglasite, but could
not get chance. Foot complained
most bitterly of his treatment, but had
to bear it. 1t is quite doubtful whether
Douglas will get votes enough in Yir
ginia to give the State to Bell. Ten thou
sand we suppose would do it, but it is
doubtful whether he can carry SO many.

seg There is German Republican
Club in Peoria, Illinois, composed ex-
clusiyely of those who voted for Douglas
two years ago, and which now numbers
over three hundred. And in many OF
the Southern counties the changes are
far more extensive. In what is called
egypt the Republicans received
scarcely any votes in 1856. In one
county where Fremont received only 10
votes, there are over 1000 enrolled in
the Republican Clubs. We donot see,
from all the Indications, how it is posi-
BILE for the factions opposed to the Re
publican party to prevent Lincoln from
carrying Illinois by large majority.

elected twelve true, open, earnest repre-

John BELL in Arkansas,

At a meeting of the Opposition of Ouchiia
county, Ark, on the 18th ult.. JONI BELL,
the distinguished National Statesman OF
Tennessee, was recommended for the Presi-
dency. The following brief, well expressed
and comprehensive resolutions were adopted:
RGolred, That, as Southrons and friends Of
the Constitutional Union of the States of this
cOnlederacy, we cannot, consistently, sup
port, for the Chief Magistracy OF the Nation,
either-a champion OF the "hgher law" a
believer in the ''irrepressible conflicts of
free ana slave labors; a disunionist per Sc; ri
advocate of "squaIier sovcreignty." or, one
opposed TO The removal of all obstacles which
impcded the due and faithful execution of
the provisions of the law for the rendition OF
fugitive slave s."
Rcsotred, That we deem il the duty Of orr
National Convention To pursue such policy
a. shall appear most likely to emaucipate
our common country, from misrule on the
one hand and lawlts s. agitation on the
other. aud thus, if possible, restore the gov
erument to its original purity and simplicity.
RssoiDed, That We have abiding confidence
in the honesty, integrity and patriotism OF
Hon John Boil, OF Tennessee, and would hail
his nomipatinn for the Presidency by our
National Convention, with unieigned delight.

NJ Conference OF the H. y. church,
North.
The Qaudrennial Conference of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, North, is TO be held
in Buffalo. n. T., commencing the LIST day Of
May. One of the most interesting and i'm
portant measures which will come before it,
ia the proposition to alter the general rules
of the Church, so as TO forbid fellowship with
Shareholders. This radical change was pre-
posed 10 the General Conference in 1856, but
failed. Since that time the subject has been
actively pressed upon the several Conferences
of the Church, North. and we have seen it
stated that majority of The delegates to the
Buffalo General Conference are in favor of
making the change. The New York Confer
ence convened last week in the city of New
York. The question came up before it for
action, and debate ensued in which the
sabjrcs of slavery underwent a general ven
tillation. On the lib inst. vote was taken,
which showed that the conservative element
predominatcd the Erie proposition having
failed by the decisive vote Of LIS nays TO AZ
yeas.
On the 18Th this subject was brought be-
fore the New York East Conference at Siam
ford Conn, in the form of the following res
oiution from the Providence Conference
Resclved, That We recommend the altera-
ton of the general Jules OF our Church, by
plefixing the word siaUtkoldpsg 10 the rule
which forbids 1.-The buying and selling Of
MN, omen and Children with an intention
10 enslase lhem," and changing and TO or,

made Of the r--e,'..i'n It Sts;nford US sre bot
at present advised.
Another measure Of Importance will come
before the Buffalo General Conference, that
of Lay Delegations to the Annual and Cen
ernl Conferences. As they stand at present,
the church Members at large have but little
to say with regard to Church Legislation.
All is wrapt up in the Conference which is
composed mostly by the Ministry. This
movement will meet strong opposition, bat
the feeling manifested in the Conferences
thus far held this spring, seems to indicate that
come action will be taken favorable to the
purpose III view.
