efyorts forts Support until the great pur-
pose shall Be fully and triumphantly con
suinnatsd.s Thus they pledge themselves
to support ABRAHAM LINCOLN sntil the re
bslion Is put doson and, certainly, the infer
euce is very plain that, in case the rebel
lion is not suppressed sooner than the next
Presidential election, they are pledged to
labor for the reelection Of LINCOLN. No
abolition convention in the country, has
expressed this purpose in palmer terms tlan
the Pittsburg Conference and we wonder
at the effrontery displayed by che editor OF
the Advocate in denying it as he has. Inc
resolution is in the stereotyped form usual
Iy passed by political conventions; "undl-
minished confidence" continuous and zeal
Gus efforts" &c. SAVIOR strongly ola modern
csucus. The clause, under God," in the
resolution was evidently put in asanafter
thought, though to intimate that ABRAHAM
LINCOLN is not supreme in the government,
of this country may subject the Preachers
to the charge of disloyalty.
The statement that "the preachers were
severe in their remarks upon the Campbell
lite church and were therefore elected from
comfortable quarters" is denounced as "a
falsehood in warp and wool" That some
of the preachers who were quartered in the
houses Of Campbellites in GAINESVILLE
during the last session of Conference were
guilty of gross violations of courtesy in
their denunciations of that body of Chris
tians, is susceptible of proof by many wit
nesses. Such was the extent to which these
acts of i'll breeding were carried that sew
eral of the people complained to Rev. HUNT,
their pastor, and were advised to return
good for evil, the Conference would not
last long and they would better not
create any disturbance by turning the
preachers out 1t was currently reported
that some had been elected. but We now
believe that to have been incorrect. 1t
was seriously talked of and only prevented
by the advice of Mr.. HUNT.
Our reporter also said that "a number OF
radicals were quartered in the houses OF
Democrats, and many family jar resulted
from angry political discussions" The
Advocate takes no notice of this, but as it
calls tie whole article "a tissue Of false'
hoods" and says the whole account of the
Conference is "libelous and false" it is al
lowable to refer to the proof of this state
ment also. The following are cases in
point, and will be supported, if necessary,
by the affdavits of the parties referred to-
Rev. j. E. McGAw was billetted at the
house of Mr.. ALFRED RIDGDwAY,s Demo-
erat. He came there on Tuesday night
On Wednesday morning at the breakfast
table he quoted from PARsoN BRowNLow
the wish that he could plunge all the cop
perheads "into the middle kettle of help
and commended the sentiment warmly and
expressed his intention of subscribing for
the BLACKBOARD Parsons paper. He wished
he had ten thousand "copperheads" to put
in the front of the army, where they would
be exposed to the heaviest fire. MIR.
RIDcEwAY was, of course, very justly of
Tended at these remarks, knowing that they
were aimed at him, and went to Rev. j. l..
DEANS, the minister who had sent MCGAw
there, and requested that he be removed.
Mr.. DEANS regretted that McGAw had
been guilty of such breach of propri
ETY. and assured Mr.. RIDGEwAY that he
would have it stopped. McGAw was per-
mitted to remain, but he kept discreetly
silent on political subjects during the re-
mainder of his stay.
A. the house of Dr. I. Hoover, one Rev.
SMITH in conversation on Sunday express
ed his belief that "copperhead" could not
possibly be admitted to Heaven. One of
the ladies of the house indignant at the ex-
preston ofsuch sentiments, at such time,
and in that place, told Mr.. SMITH that
'such language was unbecomlng Chris
tan minister and that no gentlemen would
be guilty of its use."
We have, in our possession, many other
facts of the same kind, substantiated by the
testimony Of some of the most prominent
and reliable citizens of GAINESVILLE.
With regard to the assertion that the
Sabbath day was desccrated by political
discussion, we have the testimony of Jour.
teen respectable citizens Of Barnesville. and
1--WE could have obtained the signatures of a
hundred,) if necessary, to the certificate of
its truth. That is the statement that the
Adoocate calls "a glaring falsehood," Our
