offered paper ON the state of the oountry, which
very properly recognized the fact that Slavery propa
ssnaisrn and domination was at the root Of all our
troubles, and urged upon our National Government
the exer,ion of its whole power to withdIaw tie
nation from al support Of the Institution The Yeas
and Nave being called, the paper was adopted by 10
tot. The seven Nays drew up and signed formal
protest setting forth that it not the province OF
the SYNOD to determine the special National sin nor
rad any right to say what ought 70 be urged on the
National Goverament-that, it being political
question. tie matter was in direct conrsventon OF
the Constitution Of the ChuIch and, finally, that lie
tendency was to divide and distract the Churches.

On November 9, at the General Methodist
Protestant Convention held at Cincinnati the West
srn Virginia Conference applied for admission 10 the
General Convention Of the Northern and Western
Conference Of the Church. which is thoroughly
Anh-Slayery body. The Western Virginia Confer
ercs has heretofore acted IN concert with the South
err Conferences, which, Of course, Ignored the
Slavery question. The three Commissioners Of the
Conference made remarks showing how much
man who is only suspected Of loving freedom has to
sufer, even in Western Virginia. The Mcthodist
Protestant Church in Western Virginia has exerted
her whole influence in favor OF loyalty, and abe
shared with the Methodist Episcopal Church the
honor Of having preserved that part Of the Old
