at Paramount last week, and adopted the fol-
owing report: s.vering its connection with the
Maryland Confereuee ... ... ..n
The Committee 10 whom WIS referred the
official letter of the Maryland Conference d.
rected to DR.. Laishley. our fraternal messen-
ger to said Conference, beg leave to report as
follow:
We appreciate most cheerfully the ex-
pressions of sympathy and affection get forth
in said letter, bu, ave grieved that the Con-
ference did not think proper to put us in p s.
session of the information we 80 earnestly de-
sired, to wit the possession oectpicd by said
Conference in regard to its loyalty to the
government of the United States and further
more declare that we can not affiliate or hold
official connection with any Conference which
is not outspoken on subject Of such vital
Importance, or which will not condesccnd to
crafty us so far as to inform us whether it is
for OF against the Government, when treason
threatens its destruction Could we have
been satisfied that the Maryland Conference,
as body gave her sympaties and influence to
the government under which we live, 1t would
have afforded us great pleasure to have con-
tinued in official connection with her but for
the want Of such an expression on her part,
we have to adopt the language of the master
and say, :. They who are not for US are
against us"
Another report was adopted resolving that
the Conference unite with the General Con-
ference Of the Methodist Protestant Church
embracing the northern, eastern and western
portions of the United States. t+ i+
