CHURCH UNION.

The Methodist General Conference
which closed in Brooklyn, adopted the foi-
lowing preamble and resolutions
We rejoice to discern SO many signs of.the
growing tendency to the union OF our common
Methodism; addresses and reports from various
bodies assure us of this, and the labors OF the
commission Oh Church Union, appointed by or
der of the last General Conference are not with
out promises. The difficulties in the way OF
this result are steadily growing less, and we
trust that ere the close of the first century from
the death of our founder our whole Church or
this continent will be in one communion. We
submit the following resolutions:
Resolved, !. That n commission of nine per.
sons be appointed to confer with any Ike COM
mission from any Methodist body in America
in respect to union with the Methodist Episco-
pal Church, and submit the terms of such a.
union to the next General Conference.
2 That the Board of Managers and General
Committees of the Missionary Church Extcn-
sion, Sunday School and Tract, Freedmans
Aid and Education Societies, the Book Com
mittee and Book Agents be, and are hereby en-
powered to cooperate with any Methodlst
Church desiring to act with us through any OF
these forms, only so that no loss shall accrue TO
us through such arrangements.
We regard this as the commencement of
a conference between disupited portions of
n large and respectable body of Christians
which is to result in a union of the differ
ent Methodist churches. 1t may not fol-
low soon, but is bound to come The VIII ole
country will rejoice when it does come
Especially will all good men rejoice at the
union of the Church South with the NJ.
f. Church, as such step would do much
to allay any sectional prejudice and feel
ings that may exist We trust the mem
bers of the two churches will cultivate
fraternal spirit, and if necessary, be read y
to make any reasonable concession to Sc
cure so desirable an end.

TWO OPINIONS.

The Nashville Banner is not so blind ed,
with partisan zeal as to refuse TO do credit
to an able statesman and true man, such
as Senator Henry Wilson. 1t says:
lie is sclf-made man, commencing as a shoe
maker and working his way up by unhaggng
energy and industry to his present high posi-
ton a Republican of the most orthodox
stripe, he is still not so partisan to sink the
statesman in the mere politician and while he
has been largely Identified with politics, he is
recognized as a conscientious and Christian !
gentleman. Wilson is certainly as strong n
man for the second place as they could have put
on the ticket.
Per contra the Memphis Appeal says:
The well known Senator from Massachusetts,
Wilson, has been selected by the organized
mob which adjourned in Philadelphia yester-
day, to run on the ticket with General Grant as
a candidate for the Vice Presidency. 1t might
just as well be him as any other man" He
but those who are filled with the hope of office,
the greed of gain or expectancy of fresh plum
der at the South. His course in Congress has
been remarkable for consistent hostility toward !
the South and an equally consistent devotion to =.
the interests of the East as paramount to those
of the other sections of the country.
If the appeal will point out an instance
wherein Senator Wilson has favored an
act of hostility toward the South" that
was not advocated and defended by its
candidate for the Presidency, we are ready
to- haul down the names of Grant and
Wilson from our masthead and hoist
those of Greeley and Brown. We defy
that journal, or any other, to name q sim
gle measure of reconstruction or q single
law for the enforcement of the reconstruc-
ton policy of the Republican party, that
was supported by Wilson, that was not
Zealously advocated by the Democratic
candidate for the Presidency--Horace
Greeley.

OUR PROSPECTS IN TENNESSEE.

We are not of those who believe the
cause of the Republican party in Tennes-
sec hopeless. On the contrary, we regard
success as certain. 1t must come sooner or
later. Right will prevail. The principles
of the Republican party must triumph
where reason prevails. The people of Ten
nescee will, at no distant day, see for them
selves, that the professions of Democracy
are hypocritical. Promises made but to
be broken may deceive for time, but their
true import will be discovered. When the
honest voters of our State once fully I'M
derstand the incompetence and corruption
of Democratic leaders, they will no longer
trust them. This they will certainly learn
before many months. The spell which
now binds them to the Democratic party
will be broken, and they will he free to
think for themselves. When men think,
they generally act reasonably.
From these considerations we are led
to hope that the days of Democratic
supremacy will come to an end. Nothing
but superstition, Ignorance corruption and
love for Office has kept the organization up
thus far. We see signs now of a dissolu-
ton. The old party leaders are loosing
their supremacy. The party lash. is not
feared as it has been. Influential journals
are speaking out plainly to the effect that
they no longer regard the party as indis-
pensable to the salvation of the country.
AS Republicans, we have only to per-
severe. We have only to divest ourselves
of dead weights if we are burdened with
them. We have only to pursue course
marked out by reason and common sense.
We must cultivate harmony among our
selves and pursue "A judicious, prudent poll
icy, and hundreds of good solid men who
have acted with the Democrats will Ice
with us.
While we pursue prudent course
towards those who differ with US,
We must demand that Republican voters
in every part of the State shall be
protected in the exercise Of their privileges
as citizens. If we can secure this, it is not
at all impossible that we shall carry the
State in November. If we do not carry
the State we will make such an impression
on the ranks of Democracy as will insure
victory in the next contest.

WILSON'S HONESTY.

No one questions the honesty of Senator
Henry Wilson. He has been in the United
States Senate since 1866, and vet his taxa
BILE property is assessed at only five thou
sand dollars. He might have been wealthy,
but he never took dollar that he could
not take honestly. Besides this, he is one
of the most benevolent men in the coun-
try. He gives away more for benevolent
purposes than any man of his means.
lie never allows an opportunity for doing
a kind and benevolent action to pass un-
improved. His universal popularity may
be attributed to this noble trait in his
character, coupled with his ability and
craftsmanship.
