A Marked Difference In Loyalty.

The Baltimore Annual Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church closed Its session
at Georgetown yesterday, and among It's pro-
ceedings "a report Of which will be found upon
our outside today we notice, with surprise,
the following:
resolution was offered to the Conference,
signed by Messrs. G. A. Reid and J. N. Davis,
which set forth the duty Of sustaining the Gov
ernmsnt and urged the body to request the
President Of the United States TO appoint day
Of humiliation and prayer.
Rev. J. l.. Gilbert then produced a substitute
deprecating the intrusion Of a distinguished
civilian (Senator Wright, Of Indiana,) yester-
day upon the Conference, and his virtual i'm
parchment of the loyalty Of the Conference in
advising 1t to give some evidence Of Its patri-
otlBm.
Rev. Thomas Myers moved to lay the whole
subject on the table. Agreed TO by a vote OF
q TO IL.
The East Baltimore Conference Of the same
church is in session at York, Pa, and among
its proceedings Of the 9th we are pleased 10 find
the following:
"The following resolution was adopted by a
vote of 150 10 A.
Whereas the war which has been devas-
tating our land for the past two years still con-
into indifference in such crisis, therefore
90" ReSOIUed, By the East Baltimore Confer
enee, in Conference assembled, that we reaffirm
our loyalty TO the Government, and our most
unHinching devotion 10 our country In the hour

thus openly refuse to declare themselves in IA

Complimentary to General


The following resolutions have been intro
duccd into the New York Assembly, by the
member from Franklin:
Whereas, in the present national exigency the
services of Major General Benjamin +. Butler
have been crowned by results the most import
ant, and his able and successful efforts to restore
and uphold constitutional authority In a certain
section Of our country, at a time when 1t had
been openly dOfed and trampled under foot by
persons In armed resistance to such authority,
have been invaluable during the continuance OF
the unparalleled and accursed rebellion now or
ganized for the purpose Of destroying the exis-
tence of this nation; therefore,
Resolved, (if the Senate concur,) That, in the
judgment of this legislature, the gratitude Of
the loyal inhabitants Of this country are emf
nently due TO Major General Butler and to those
associated with him and under his command,
for their earnest, effective and well-directed
efforts for the maintenance of constitutional
government and the re-establishment of our
national authority In the reyOlted section of the
United States.
ReSOlVed, III the Senate concur,) That the
ability displayed by General Butler in every
position, the duties Of which have been de-
yolved upon him by the Federal authorities,
whether exercising the functions Of civil ad-
ministration or the powers of a military com
mander, entities him TO rank among the most
worthy and distinguished men of our country;
that in his official acts he has been guided BY
principles Of the purest loyalty and most disin-
terested patriotism; that in the present perilous
condition of our public affairs the country can
not afford to dispense with the services of such
a mani and, therefore, that we respectfully and
earnestly recommend that he shall be, as soon
as convenient, assigned to position in which
his unsurpassed energy and talents will be most
conducive to the public interest and most effect
ual In crushing utterly the present infamous
and unholy rebellion.
Resolved, (if the Senate concur,) That Gen.
Butler is hereby invited to visit this capital as
a guest Of the State, whenever his official en-
gagements will permit.
Resolved, (if the Senate conCur,) that copy
OF these resolutions, signed by the President
and Clerk Of the Senate, and by the Speaker
and Clerk Of the Assembly, be transmitted to
the President of the United States and to Mai.
Gen. Butler, as a testimonial Of the Judgment
and wishes Of this Legislature.

No one who heard the opinions which were
yesterday read from the Bench in these causes
could fail to be struck with the marked differ
ence which distinguished them In their respec-

hensiye grasp Of the subject.
The opinion of the court, as read by Mr.. JUS
tice Grier, carried conviction and a patriotic
satisfaction along with ii at every sentence.
1t was terso, straight forward, and plain to the
understanding; while that Of Judge Nelson was
twice as long, and was full Of subtle rciinlngs
and adroit special pleadings and sophistical
definitions, and was well calculated to leave
upon the mind an unpleasant and unsatisfac-
tory feeling Of apprehension that the powers OF
our Government, as found in the Constitution,
were not adequate to the high and imperative
duties which devolved upon 1t Of using all pos
sible means of crushing this war of rebellion at

democratic ring, and contrasts SO strikingly
with the spurious emanationB of latter-day

hail It. 1t reminds me OF the better days OF the
democratic party, when, under the inspirations
of Jackson and your father, Its boasted watch
word was: "The Unioni II must be preserved"
ResponsIyely TO that sentiment, upheld the
arms Of both those. magistrates TO the extent
of my ability and at tho sacrifice Of home and
its cndearments, and am now bearing arms,
amid disease and death, against an armed enc
my who would desecrate II.
Northern peacemongers, who who'd dishonor
that sentiment by proclalming an armlstice In
the face Of a rebellous and defiant enemy, but
add puslllanlmlty to treachery, and truly, as
you energeiically say, "will be carried away"
IL not by the torrent" of public opinion,
eventually by force of arms.
Your obedlent servant,
