members present. These vicegerents

were received with great applause. .and
by a vote of the Conference, were re-
ferred to special Committee Of five, to
be appointed by the Chair. The pre-
amble to the resolutions reviews the
blighting effects of slavery, and the
two final resolutions are, in substance,
as follows:
ResOlced, That we are alarmed and
filled with apprehensions for the fu-
ture, when we contemplate the prac-
tical sale of one of the great political
parties of the Republic by two poll
ticians of that party. who have held
and now hold very intimate relations
to the President, thus sacrificing prin-
ciple and party and righteousness for
the SAX of temporary success,
ResOlced, That we protest most ear
nestly against the action of the new
Administration in making terms with
the chief of the ku-Klux, the instiga-
tor of the Hamburg massacre, NJ. G..
Butler, and still more earnestly do we
protest against the official recognition
by the Administration, of that arch
enemy of the Republic, who long since
ought to have been hing for treason,
Wade Hampton, of South Carolina.
and who now, by threats and intimi-
dation, under the present roof OF the
White House, as well as on the rail
road platforms and in other public
places, defies the power of the Gov
ernment and bullies the President into
compliance with his traitorous and
wicked. usurpaliOns.

throws into a slightly modified shape
the frequently expressed arguments

much fault with the instructions issued

they be amended so rs to specially di-
rect the Committee TO inquire, first,
which is the legal government entitled
to recognition second, which is the
