The Rev, DIR, j T.. Newman, Of
New Orleans, IL called ia the Rich
m0nd Christian Adp0eate, = the fell
low who does the prayers for the Mu-
latto Convention oh dear
The Illinois Conference Of the NJ.
IL, Church, which met at blooming
ingt0n on the 24th, adopted some re-
solutions on national affairs IN gene
raj, and on the President IN particular.
They say that while dlselaiming any
right 10 ministers TO undertake the
work of statesmen, or 10 decide Ia
matters Of public policy, yet as minis
tiers they deem Ii their duty to them
selves, to God, aud 10 humanity 10
utter their convictions. While fege-
reaeing tho Office Of Chief Magistrate,
aud feeling II their duty to obey the
President ia the exercise OF all legal
authority, they should be- unworthy
their station did they not expose aud
denounce what they believed TO be
the wrong They then arralgn him
first for refusing aequleseenee in the
will OF the people as expressed in
their loyal representatives unwar-
rantedly eensnring Congress refusing
TO execute laws not in conformity
with his policy insinuAting the over
throw Of Congress aud substituting
rebels and their sympathigeFs, reius-
ing protection 10 loyal men, aud APP
proving legislation which virtually
makes the freedmen little better than
slaves, They charge him with re-
sponaibility for the New Orleans
massacre, aud after denouneing his
removal of loyal men from Office aud
putting dialoyal men In their places,
say " Ii his policy prevail the wicked
will rule and the nation will mourn.
