A METHODIST UNION CONyENTIoN.-A
convention of the non-E Episcopal Methodist
bodies of the United States has assembled
at Cincinnati for the purpose of efiecting
permanent union. At preliminary
meeting held last year, four Methodist
bodies, the American Wesleyans, the Free
Methodists, the Independent Mcthodists,
and the northern conferences of the Ne
thodist Protestants, were represented. Last
year the feeling among the members of
these denominations was unanimous in
favor of union, and we believe such is
still the case. Together, the four dcnomi-
nations represent membership Of about
seventy thousand. They all agree in IN
earnest opposition 10 slayeholding and to
making any distinction among citizens on
account of color. The first three have
from the start made non-slayeholding
condition Of membership, and the north
ern portion Of the Methodist Protcstants
have shared, though not the same legisla-
ton, AT least tho same sentiments. The
first three, VIC believe, have not single
congregation i'm the former slave States :;
and as regards the Methodist Protcstants,
only part Of those i'm West Virginia
have remained i'm connection with the con-
ferences in the northern States. All the
other southern conferences have been
and are still In full harmony with the senti-
,nsnts Of the late shareholders. The new
church, II formed, may BE- relied upon BY

SAINT. Ann, AND MAXIMILIAN.-Thc
New York Hcroh publishes documents L"
prove that Santa Anna was one OF the
prime movers and gcttcrS-up (although in
his turn used by others instead of using
them) Of the Imperial scheme that is now
coming to so disastrous II failure i'll Mexico,
and which show that he was moving in
such plots as long ago aS July /, 1854. In
1861, Santa Anna again enters into cores
pondence with him and approves of the
attack about being made upon Mexico 10y
the allied Powers. He also modcstly offers
his own services TO carry ont their plans.
November 80, 1861, the selection OF Mani
milan and the placing him on throne i'll
Mexico was already determined upon in
Europe, and pcrforcc Santa Anna gives in
his adhesion to it, although he would have
preferred to have been selected himself.
lie makes haste, however, to offer his ser
vices to aid in placing Macmillan on the
throne.
A month later he expected to set ont
for Mexico, but circumstances delayed
affairs, and we hear nothing further OF his
"helping the French until it appears that
when MaXimilian himself was about to goto
Mexico, Santa Anna, thinking he could do
better with him than with the French,
hastens To write To him most aifcctionatc
letter, stating "that his soul overlooked
with pleasure at the idea of MaXimlian's
going 10 Mexico, proficrs in most earnest
terms his own utmost services, and closes
by entreating permission to " tcrvcntly
kiss" the Imperial hands" of his Impc-
rial Hghness Macmillan. This last docu-
mpnt il TOO rich for ANYTHING and kills
Santa Anna forever in Mexico. All his
subsequent manifestoes against Macmillan
20 for nothing against this document.
