We published last week the report on the
affairs Of the country, adoped by the Detroit
Methodist Conference. 1t is very able docu-
ment, and sets forth in calm, earnest words the
conviction, not only OF that Intelligent and
patriotic body, but OF nearly or quite the whole
christian world.
The language we have quoted above Is the
journals comment upon their do!ngs. IC as
sail such body Of men with such coarse vitu-
peration is simply ridiculous. II Is, however,
only another evidence OF the insanity existing
among a certain class upon the slavery ques-
ton. Discussion upon that subject will 60 on
IN spite oil such lulminatiOns a. the above, and,
Is Hon Joseph Holt, OF Kentucky, says, - II
slavery cannot stand before the light OF free
inquiry, Let it 20 to the wall where 1t ought TO
CO."
We publish the above extracts from the Jour
nal simply to show the iu-olence and meanness
with which that PaPer TRAITS everything that
pertains to decency. Let II ny all means keep
on in the direction in which it has set out. 1t
is too small to hurt any body. while at the
same time it cannot more surely or expeditions
ly run itself into the ground than Ly takin G
such course. In our Judgment, the sooner 1t
does this the better.
