BUFFALO, n. Y, May Is


Dear Progress:-Th Governor of New York
made his appearance at Buffalo last Thursday and
was received with appropriate welcome. It q
fact that of all the public officers elect
ed by the people of New York at the last elections
the Governor is the only who is an honest man
who pretends to lay any claim to political integr
ty. But with all this there very little enthu
=iasm manifested, the crowd consisting mainly OF
Irish, Dutch, &c.
c. Barton Hill, an actor who lately has been at
the Holiday street Theatre, made his first appear
ance in two years and the ENTHUSIASM ten times
greater in the Theatre his appearance, than the
Governor raised here.
The Slavery question in the Conference has at
length reached its cimaxi in the following rule:
Strike out all in the chapter on slavery after the
words "evil of slavery and insert the following:
1--WE believe that the buying, selling holding of
human beings as chattes is contrary to the laws of
GoD and nature, lncOnslstent Win the Coden Rue,
and with that rule of discipline which requires
all who desire to continue among to do no harm,
and to avoid evil of every kind We therefore
affectionally admonsh all the preachers and people
to keep themselves free from this great evil, and to
seek its extirpation by all lawful and Christian
means
A minority report is being prepared, both of
which will probably be laid before the Conference
tomorrow The change of the '' chapter" instead
of the General Rule " avoids the necessity of
twothirds vote by the General Conference, and the
subsequent ratification of majority OF fOurths
of all the Annual Conferences.
Yesterday quite a hot day among the Metho-
dists young minister, not having the fear OF
an abolitionst before his eyes, did accuse New
England of being zone horse concern " whereup-
ON there ensued little fitted to the occasion

The Charleston sece<,er..

The Washington States and Union, speaking OF
those patriots who added to the decency of the
Charleston Convention by leaving the body,
says:
1t is whispered about, that the seceders have
repented OF their act, und now propose to return
to their adjourned convention at Baltimore, and
unite in completing its work. As little as we res
pect the judgement or patriotism OF the seceders.
as low as We are compelled to estimate their real
devotion to the best interests of the States they
represented, we feel it to be our 8uty to defend
them against the slander that they have ever for
a moment, contemplated such an act of gross
qualification aud folly, They have no more
right to appear and hold seats at Baltimore than
at Chicago. They retired from Charleston, and
in the act of seperation made it impossible to re-
turn: But they preceded to organize new con-
vention. They gave in their allegiance to new
body and new faith They stigmatized the CON
vention from Which they retired as the 'rump
Of the party-its g free soil wing How pain
fully they must regard the effort of the policy
managers in this city to bring them back. to
compel them again to secede, and again to seek
cooper elation with those whom they have recently
condemned and repudiated"

TRENTON, N. G. May II, 1860
EDITOR PROGRESS Dear Sir ALLOW me
through your excellent paper to make the follow
ing inquiry:
Can some one inform the public how it is that
out of six letters, mailed at Washington, n. C.,
and addressed to Trenton, N. c., and mailed each
at different time not of the si1 has ever been
received
There is something wrong somewhere on the
route and think it will not be imprudent for
those interested in the present affair to look into
the matter little, and to be little more careful
in the future Respectfully Yonrs,

ORIGINAL POETRY.
To Ben.

EO Ben.
'Tis true, dear sir, there was time
We loved each other well,
- Aud my heart hung upon the words
That from your false lips fell
At least | loved-I felt within
A pleasing passion grow,
Deeper, higher and purer far
Tuan man can ever know.
Years have passed-the spell is broke
A cold and proud dIsdain
Now fills the chamber of that heart
Where love was wont to reign.
The lips that l with shame confess
Promised to be your bride,
Now curls with just indignant scorn
And bids you stand aside.
You say &" farewell 81 echo back
g Farewell" without pain;
Go! and to me I'll thank you, sir,
Never to speak again.
Go! and ever bear III mind
A stream: between us flows,
AS dark as night-as broad as life
Remember re part as foes.
The wo Ii is large, and many flower
For both Of us may bloom;
And other Iores may shine like stars,
Through these dark clouds of gloom.
Go, Ben-but should you ever cast
A longing look behind,
Remember woman's acknowledged right
Sometimes to change her mind.

FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS
HILLsBoRo', May 18th, 1860. -

H1LLSBORO uhdy 1cOUF
Dear Progress Il know you are not fond of
long letters so shall please You at the present
writing in that particular Our old town, which
has been for very many years past almost forgot
ten for its antiquity and Revolutionary histo-
ry is now emerging from its state of inactivity
and is placing herself footing with the more
business, thrifty and energetic villages and towns
of the State. The merchants and trading men
seem to have been struck with entirely ideas
in the way of business. Formerly the trade of
the merchants was confined to the selling of
few caicoes, SC, for the money or slow note
(most commonly the latter but now they have,
commenced a barter trade which brings into our
market every species of produce raised in the
country. Tobacco an article never sold in our
market until within the last eighteen months, is
now sold and manufactured here In considerable
quantities. In addition we have large steam
tannery and corn mill, which Is doing much for
the village and surrounding country. New
churches are going up-a better sign OF the i'm
provement of Il place than any other especially in
the way of morality. Old houses are undergoing
repairs all of which gives the place more busi-
ness-ke appearance.
A race was run over the Hillsboro' course last
week, but as l did not visit the place l an not
able to give you the particulars There was, how
ever. money won and lost, and plenty OF the
=" O be joyful " i'm blbed judging from the appear
ance of the crowd upon their return to town.
Some were in the gutter resting their heads upon
the eurbstone for pillow; others were quarrel
ing-pouring their anathemaS on each other In
rapid successon-as :: shower of peas would fall
on a raw hide" But magistrate of Police
soon had the offenders before him and quieted
them by taking some of the "dust" from their
pockets.
We have had good seasons of late and the crops
look very promising.
Respectfully, ORANGE GUARD.
