United Brethren Conference.

al Conference of the United Brethren met
in Bourbon on the 10Th ult We learn
from the Press that large amount of bust
ness was transacted and resolutions adopt
ed expressing decided opinions on all the
great moral questions of the age. The
Conference gave forth no uncertain sound
but boldly avowed itself in favor of Justice
to all and Liberty to all. The influence of
such men as composed this body cannot
but be felt for good, and we trust that
every Republican and philanthropist will
feel it not only his privilege but his duty
to give them his cOuntenance and support
Below will be found the resolutions
adopted by the Conference, on the state of
the country, and the list of appointments
for the coming year:

Resolved, BY the st. Joseph Annual Con-
ference of the Church of tile United Breth-
rem in Christ, at its session i'm Bourbon,
Marshall Co., Indiana, September 10, 1866,
I. We reverently and humbly acknowl-
edge our gratitude to our Father in heaven
for his providential care in the bestowment
of so many mercies i'm the past, and de
voutly pray that they may be continued.
>. We recognize the sovereignty of the
Divinity which shapes the destiny of ma
lions, as our only basis of hope, and to Him
who rules in righteousness we look and
pray for deliverance from the deeply laid
schemes of wicked and ungodly men
seeking only agrandiZemcnt to the utter
Ia off
ton of the liberties OF the masses.
3. We indorse the Thirty Ninth Con
gress of the United States. and to its meas
ures we give our hearty approval, recog-
nizing in it the ceief fundamentally and
bulwark of the unity and safety of the Re
public.
1. While we are painfully compelled to
say that we believe the Presidents policy
only tends to cmbolden and strengthen the
enemies of the government, thereby leOpar-
dizing the lives of loyal men in the South
as already seen in the massacre of many
brave and true union citizens, yet we will
continue to- pray that he may in future be
guided by divine wisdom and supported
bv divine power. in all JUST AND RIGHTEOUS
measures which tend to the security and
perpetuity of free institutions and the
maintenance of the Constitution of the
United States.
