IT has rarely happened that the same men
and women who began so great work as
that of the American Anti Slavery Society liv-
ed to rejoice over its accomplishment None
perhaps of the enthusiastic apostles of liberty,
who organized this association thirty y-seven
years ago. believed that in a single generation
every slave in the United States would be
freed, and every political disability be removed
from the long oppressed race In the ordinary
course of events, this would have been the
work of a century. But Providence took it
out of the hands of feeble association, and
suddenly, in the whirwind of battle and the
shock of armies, the task of regeneration was
achieved. The American Anti-Slavery SOcie-
ty has been formally disbandcd; their aim is
reached. They may now rest from their labors
secure of the grateful remembrance of posteri
! ty, which will appreciate their designs, if il
cannot always praise their judgment.

THE still unsettled question of lay reprcsen-
tation is agitating the Methodist Conferences
now sitting in New York. The proposed
reform has received the approval Of the Gen
eral Conference and of a large majority of the
members and female-of the Church in
very heavy popular vote. Its adoption now
rests with the ministers in the several annual
conferences. The sole obstacle remaining is a
rule which can only be suspended by three
lourths of the preachers. TO this technical
point the opponents of the measure, under the
leadership of DR. Curry, editor of the Adrocate
are now addressing themselves.
