From the Pine Bluff News Secession of a Border Church.

We learn by telegraph that the Baltimore conference of the Methodist Church on the 2Sth ult., adopted plan of separation from tn. northen Methodists Joy s3 majority. The history of this case isfull ot interest and instruction both in moral and politi- cal aspect. The Methodist Church in Ame- rica was once united, and like the late Unit ed States, extended from Maine to the most southern limits of our country. But unfortu- nately for the cause of religion, the demon of fanatical abolitionism, possessed at first only few members, but afterwards the whole Church North. The question of slavery was intermedded with and legisla- ted upon at the meeting of every Annual Conference of the church north, until final ly it eliminated in an attempt, at meet ing of General Conference in lS44, of all the conferences North and South, to depose the venerable Bishop Andrew, of Georgia, from the Bishopric, for the reason he refus- ed to emsncipate two or three slaves of a widow lady he had recently married.
 An elaborate protest was drawn up by the late eloquent Bishop Bascum, and was signed by majority of the delegates from the southern States, and finally plan oi separsion was drafted and submitted to ths
Arkansas true Democrat., 1861-04-18

| southern conferences, which was aaop'ed
 by nearly all of them, and final sepafa-
 tion was declared, ant ths church Soath
 united and formed what A COW known as
 the Methodist Episcofe. Church South
 The southern conferepos then instituted
 suit for pro rata division of q large amount
 of church property, which after long anI te- ] dious litigation, was decided in the U. ,. 1 Supreme Court, which gave judgment Tn 1 favor of the Church South for their share
 of the public property. which amounted to
 nearly million dollars.
 1 Since that time, the Methodist Church South being made free from the contamlna- ting influence of abolitionism, has had
 peace, and has progressed with astonish-
 ing rapidity But the Baltimore Confer ence and one or two other border conieren-
 ces chose to remain yet while with the old union with the church North, trusting
 that fanaticism would subsde. and they would then be instrumental In bringing
 back the seeding conferences into the old Unon But vain was the hope! Instead of abolitionism subsiding in the northern church, 1t became more intolerant and in sulting with each subsequent revolving year until at the last General Conference, which
 met at buffalo last May, the old article ot slavery in the church discipline was changed
 and new article was incorporated which rendered it irreconcilable with decency and self-respect for any slave owner to submit to. The consequence is, that the Baltimore Conference has at last been compelled to
 pursue the course that the more southern conferences did 17 years ago-that Is to secede and come from anong Aem. But they do so now with humiliation and dis
 honor when they might have seeded for nlerly with becoming grace. They now constitute small body of pilgrims without name or local habi,aton, wandering in an unenvable "stote of betweemty," despised and denounced by the church north as squad of schislnatics, and viewed with an eye of pity by the church south, yet with a mixture of censure for the gullability of their conduct They are bereft of their church property, and reasonable hope can not be entertained that they will succeed Tn recovering any thing of the church north, by suing before northern tribunals, that anxieusly desire to make an example of secession. The history of this case affords a good lesson to the temporising policy of our Union men in Arkansas and the border States. The hope of living on terms of amity and peace with the northern States is without foundation.
 For the last forty years southern people have borne up with patience, with their con stant aggressions and tirade of abuse, hop ing that reason and a sense Of justice would return to the North But every year hos tiity and insult increases towards us and for the sake of peace to both sections, let us separate in peace-to live together in peace is jmnOEsihlp

-huICl --O, ACOl.
 Having been requested by resolution passed at the mass meeting in Springfed a few weeks since, to canvass our county in advocacy of the secession of Arkansas. and having been induced by the subsequent development of circumstances to postpone our appointments, we beg leave to state to our fellow citizens in this manner, the req. sons by which we were governed, and to assure them that whatever of energy and ability we possess arc dedicated to the de. Iivering of Arkansas from the bondage of black republicanism.
 The adournmen ent of the convention gave an entirely different complexion to our con dtion--as to the people was referred the question of " secession" or ''co-operation, !" to be voted on in August next, and know ing this to be busy season with A large majority of our citizens, we concluded that the necessity for an immediate canvass was obviated and hence the postponement.
 It will afford us great pleasure, when your leasure will permit you to turn out. to present to you the considerations which have irapelled us to the belief, that Arkan- sas should unite her fortunes with those of the Confederate States.
 Our appointments will be d uly adver- tiscd. Your fellow citizens,

the tyranny of northern abolitionism, and their runaway slaves withheld from them Tn defiance of the fugitive slave law, and worse consequences threatening them, they resolved to leave the family roof, and set up housekeeping for themselves. A rup- turc of this kind in domestic life is always attended with unfortunate consequences; but with nation such as ours it is great calamity, and it's causes always to be de- plored. Nevertheless, if those causes arc reasonable, as in the case of the South, who can say that it is not better to part. and moro especially when the parting may take place peacefully? And would it not be ,ie night, not only of folly, but of crime, to endeavor to coerce the speeding States into remaining in the Union? We deplore 'ae disruption ot this glorious Union most sincerely. But thero arc reasons for it, and as long as theso reasons remain, through the absence of proper amendments to the constitution, the southern States which have seeded will be better pnder their own separate government. To north ern fanaticisln and negro worship we ova the ruin which has overtaken us. God grant that the train of disasters we may yet be called upon to suffer may not ba capped by the horrors of civil war-tbe worst fate that can betall nation. and the greatest scourge that wickedness md folly could inflct.
