From Kamai Further Particular!. We copy irom the Miatouii Demo' erat, the following panic u I are con ct rning sffnirt in Kansas, from which the reader will be enabled to glean same idea of the condition of things in that Territory: Mr. James F. Legate, one of the most reputable men in Kansas writes as follows: Whila they were firing upon the hotel. I went to the postoffice, and found (hat they had just run the clerk out because he bad a "Sharp-i Rifle." While there, there was a party of the posse came into ibe office; sorAV one of iheru kicked open the door ol the pottoffice, it being an apartment in a store. They went in, looked about until iheir curioaity was sali tied, then came out. Dr. Stringfellow was one of the num ber. Dr. Stringfellow looked aboi t and

aid, "what can I take for plunder?" His eye fell upon Bomecigais, and he took two boxes, put them under his arm, and said, as he walked off, "this will do fjff me." I left tbe Poet Office, and went to the store of 0. W. dc W. Hutchison k Co. The store was locked. Col. Titus said, "I think there are Sharp's rides in there. Stave her in, boys, if she is locked." They obeyed him by breaking in the front windows with tbe buta of their guns, and then some ten of them crawled in I then left that place for my boarding-house. On my way there I saw a party of men who seemed to be overjoyed at some prise they had obtained. I walked up to them and found it was the trunk of A. H. Reeder. They had brokon tbe lid off, and were emptying the contents upon the ground each selecting some article of clothing, some letter, some paper that pleased their fancy. 1 proceeded to my boarding house and found that it was guarded, and that men were inside. They had burst in the window, and went and rame out there. As soon as they left, 1 went into tbe house and found they had broken open all tbe trunks in tbe house and all drawers to the secretary, rifled everything, in fact, in the bouse. I found they had taken all my clothing many of my private letters, and $63B in money from my trunk; that they had taken all the clothing of Mr Burdett, the gentleman with whom 1 board. I saw them pass across the street and break tbe window in, in the house of B. Johnson, ani quite a num ber pass in through the window, after some time tbey came out shouting tri' umphaully with their arms full ol clothing and two or three common infantry, and four six pound pieces of brass cannon. About this lime great xciu mi nt was created by Mr. Jab. Keiser accidentally shooting himself; but the wound was not mortal. At 1 o'clock the United StBtea Deputy Maninil selected a small posse and entered town to make arresta. He seit cted his posse from tbe ranks of the Lecompton Guard, cotrmanded by Cant. J no. Donnelson, who was alno honored with the command of tbe posse, Donaldtoa's "Red Shirts;" at they are more commonly known, by adopting the red shirt as their uniform, and reflected credit upon themselvea and their commander. They were well irilled, always ready for any emergency, and prompt and obedient in action. Most of them were vounp men from Virginia, who have left home nd friends to offer up their lives to the preservation and establishment of Southern institutions in Kar.sas. The following are the names of the posse under Donaldson command: Cspt J. Donaldson, J. W. Ransom, R. M. Nace, B. Jones, J. N. Casey, John Shelton, C. H. Orover. Only three arrests were made, vis: Smith, Jenkin and Deitsler. The town seemed almost forsaken. When the Marshal returned, having done all be could do, ba released the posse from his jurisdiction, and they were immediately summoned by Sheriff Jone. Mr. Jones, notwithstanding his feeble condition, appeared upon horseback, an 1 as be rode along the line, summoning each company to assist in the execution of the law, he was received with laud and deafening cheers. His pale countenance and emaciated form the products of an almost fatal blow from en assassin's arm made every man irresistibly clutch his pistols, impatient to revenge this foul deed. Tbe very appearance of Jone, who had ao often presented himself at the very mouth of danger, and consecrated his life to the maintenance of the law, sent a thrill through every heart that choked all utterance of their willingness to follow him in the face of any danger. He selected a small posse of mounted men, mostly from the Atchii son Guards, commanded by Capt De 'Treville of South Carolina. Col. H. 7. Titus commanded the posse. Jones had a great many writs in his bands, but could find no one Hiram st whom he held them. He also had an order from the Court to de mand the surrender of their arm, field and aide, and a demolition of the two Dresses and tbe Krec Stata hotel aa nuisances. The Arms were imroedi alely demanded and awrrendered. but rrj few oould be found four pieoe of cannon, ona IS lb. howitzer, and four email piecea and a few Sharp's ii fiel. When they agreed lo surrender, our men ware marched down in front ol the town, and one cannon planted upon their own battlements. Over the largest piece, commanding the Emigrant Aid hotel, was unfurled tbe stars and stripes, with this motto: "Yon Yaokeea trembl, . Aad Abeltilouliu lall. Oar aolM to boulbera right to all ' The cannon were then brought out and thrown down in front of our lines During this time appeals were mada to sheriff Jones to save the Aid Society's hotel. This newt reached the com-

! pany's ears and wes received with one I universal cry of "No! Nol blow it up;

Mow it up! We will not injure pn Tate property, but our motto is, Destruction to everything belonging to the Aid Society. The Court has declared it a nuisance and we will destroy it." About this time a banner was seen fluttering in the breese over the office of TA Herald of Frttdom. Its color was a blood red, with a lone star in the center and South Carolina above. This banner was placed there by the Carolinians Messrs. Wrights and a Mr. Cross. Tbe effect was tremendous. One tremendous and lon-con-tinued shout burst from tbe ranks, Thua floated in triumph the banner of South Carolina that single white star, so emblematic of her course in the early history of our sectional disturbances. When every Southern State stood almost upon the verge of ceeding their dearest rights to tbe North, Carolin a stood boldly out; the firm and unwavering advocate of Southern institutions. Thus floated victoriously the first banner of Southern rights over the Abolition town of Lawrence, unfurled by the noble sons of Carolina and every whip of its folds seemed a deaths roke to Beecher propagandise) and the fanatics of the East. Ohl that its red folds could have been seen by every Southern eye. Mr. Jones listened to the many entreaties, and finally replied that it waa beyond his power to do anything, and gave the occupants so long to remove all private property from it. He ordered two companies into each print ing office to destroy the press. Both presses were broken up and thrown into the slice ts the type thrown in tbe river, and all th i material belonging to each office destroyed. After this was accomplished, and the private property removed from the hotel by tba different companies, the cannon were brought in front of the house and directed their destruetiva blows upon the walls, the building caught on fire, and soon its walls came with a crash to the ground thus fell the Abolition fortress, and we hope this will leach tba Aid Society a good lesson for the future. Before entering town, our commanders instructed each member of hia company of the consequences befalling the violation of any private property. As far as we can learn, they attended strictly to these instruntionr. One act we regret to mention the firing of Robinson's house. Although there i but little doubt as to the real owners of this property, yet it was a private residence, and should have remained untouched. During the excitement, the Commissary, Col. Abel, of Atchi -ton City, learned that it was on fire, and immediately detailed a company to snppress the flames which was done. Once afterwards, we understand. Sheriff Jones had the flames suppressed, and the boys guilty of the act sent immediately to ca .rip; but with regret we saw tbe building on fire that night about 10 o clock. I his we saw roro camp, and cannot tell who set n ne fire the third time. During the firing upon the hotel, one of our men as killed by the failing of a stone from the wall. Before another week rolls around no doubt the papers will be filled with vaslly magnified reports, and the ooun ry disturbed with "loud shrieks for the cause of Freedom" by Abolition organs. 1 his ery one anticipates, and will not be disappointed at the bloody picture their ready writers will paint, for their own purposes; but they are only a fi.ction in the country and have produoed this state or things. It remains to be seen whether that portion of the North and East calling themselves conservative national men, will be led into excitement and extravagancies by their "loud shrieks." We think the conservative men of the North and East, have had furnished them long since sufficient data to form correct opinions of the motives governng these men. If every man of them had been killed, every house burned, and total and entire extermination had been the motto of the "Law and Or er" party, who would be to blame? Impartial decision answers, these men have brought the calamity upon their own heads. We eXDect to be called by Tub Tbiburb and Atlas, and all organs of that party such men as Gree ley and his noble brothers may have command over, filibusters, ruffians, guerillas, barbarians, thievra, incen diaries, cut throats and all other sucb stigmatizing anathemas as will set us beyond the bounds of society in the category of villians and outlaws: but this matters but little with the people of Kansas; it is another class whose good opinions and sympathy we olaim, that stand as far above these political demagogues and ultra fire-eaters as the heavens are above tbe earth. These are the men we wish to act is umpires for the people of Kansas; this is the "popular opinion" that the "Law and -Order" party court, and none other. These are trying times. With truth we can say this is a crisis deplorable in tbe political history of our country, but it ta only the bead of "festered Abolitionism," long sino deducible from their acta and doings. That unprecedented appeal to the "Members of Congress to stay the Kansas-Nebraska bill" waa only the announcement that Kansas should be read tha battle-field. Here they eould plant themselves, and under the semblance of territorial privileges, eould with impunity praetiee their nefai iou p'trpoeea. T he - began by appealing to the Northern men for "ini terial aid." This "material aid" was furnished them; they sent their agents. Robinson dt Co., into the Territory, who raised tha crusading flag against all men op - posed to tbem in sentiment. In their wake followed sub-employees, lelcottd for the occaaion; men impelled by the

dollar influence, who had no pretensions to a principle, moral or political, but the "Aid 8ociety," hirelings of discharged convicts and abandoned desperadoes. We dislike to place men in such a category, but these are the characters we had to deal with. Ft nally the election came off and the Pro-Slavery party defeated tbem; then the great cry of "Border Ruffian" vrent forth to the East, appealing for protection against the Miasourians; it had the desired effect; men at the North and East suffered themselves to be duped and swindled into tbe support of ibis appeal, rendered against their "material aid," and give cognizance to their movements. Then it waa that Reeder, whose pecuniary speculations overreached and crushed his good wishes for the growth of Kansas, and finding himself scouted by the conservative party nod thrown upon the tide of political destruction, determined it waa better to strike for the opposite shore than be overwhelmed by the flood. He did so, threw himself at their feet and cried, for the sake of personal interest, "help, belpl and I'll act with you." He was admitted and soon beoame one of their chieftains, and tba unblushing abuser of all citizens both in and out of Kansas, opposed to his movements and his adopted party. Hia Excellency was disgracefully discharged from his executive position and crying for revenge upon his supplanters, put up a pitiful mouth to an Abolition Congress for a seat as Delegate from Kansas. Every one knows what bis memorial alleges; and with the ostensible purpose of testing the truth of there allegations, a Committee came among us with almost unlimited powers. Then began the erusade in earnest; the first, day of thi session witnessed the assassination of an officer of tbe law they approved the past and präsent acts of these men Reeder was Buffered to thunder forth his inflammatory speeches and they did the bussaing. A United Slates officer's life was threatened and these "guardian angels" threw their wings of protection around the body of Reeder. Ab already outraged and incensed people could no longer bear it the laws were spit upon and scouted, a the "black enactments of "Border Ruffians." Haman life was of a trifling value when it came in contact with their measures. Tba people became aroused; take from them the protection of '.he law and you have l. id bare every interest to the outlaw's hand. They determined to defend, at all hazards, their

rights and privileges, and they have manfully done it. They have dealt the death blow to those Abolition Or gana that have ao long poisoned the people s minds by heaping base slan ders upon the citizena of Kansas and their friends. They have brought to tbe ground a rendezvous of Black Republican propogandiata, and juatly taught the "Aid Society" better use of their means, than building torts and arming and equipping men lo Hied the blood of their fellow beings and involve the country in civil war. We have done what re have done, guns. I then returned to the place where we had taken the women and children for safety, and watched the burning of the hotel. The posse be gan to go homewards. While they were passing the house of Gov. Chas. Robinson, three times it was set on fire and a oft n extinguished. We thought they had all left town and began to come to our home again, when there came back some fifty mounted men and rode around the ruins of the hotel, and gave three cheers for the ruins. On their return to their camp, the house of Gov. Chas. Robinson was set on firs and burned. Thus ended the abatement of the nuisance which the court ordered Sheriff Jones to abate. On t' e day above mentioned, while was in the crowd of persons destroying the hotel, some six of them eame to me and inquired if my name was Legate. I told them that it was. The most officious of the number then said: "Do you, sir, know" here he hesitated a moment, then turning facing from me, hd pulled something from his pocket which bad the appearance of a letter having only a u hmpse of it, couldn't tell for a certainty turning back to me he said, "John M. Earle, of Worcester. Massachusetts?" 1 replied that i knew him ni an editor. "A damned Abolition editor that you write to, is it, G d damn you?" Then repealing several different sentences in a, fetter which I had written to the above named editor, which led me to the conclusion that they bad the said letter in their possession. They made threats of banging me, showing me the beauties of hemp, tk To which I replied they could bang me no younger. I then told tbem they must have robbed the mail to have obtained my a At TW B WWt a letter to air. aarie. tin reply was that there was a place between Law rence and Westport whero your damn ed Abolition letters can be read if you do put tbem in the mail, anil if we ever sea any wore of your letters we'll hang you, by God. I told him I should write to whom I pleased, and thus we separated. JAMES F. LEGATE. Lawrence, K. T., June 7, 1U66. Charles J. Fay'e Statement I came into Kansas May 14th. 1866. from Maseachuaetta; have no particular place of residence. On tha morning of Tuesday, the 20th May last, while carrying the mail from Lawrenos, Kansas, to westport, Mo., while at Franklin, Kansas, and having delivered the mail bag to the postmaster, I .was ordered by him to deliver my way bill to Capt. Pate, a man Irom Weslport, Mo. I gave i him the way bill, and he called out the passengers whose names were on the 1 bill, in rotation, and searched them, i examined their papers, trunks, valises and carpet sucks, and obliged some them to remove their boots, lie took

a letter from one passenger, and d tained him, aa was said by the other passengers, in consequence of that letter. I had six passengers. He was aided by a large number of men, I hould thiak as ma y as fifty. During the searching, upon my receiving tbe mail bag from the postmaster. I mounted the seat, and remarking that I was behind lime and must go on, a man passed around in front of the horses to the near side, presented a pistol at me, and told ma not to start the team until they had got through. I was detained by them about an hour. When they finished the search, tbe captain handed me tbe way bill, and 1 went on. On the 2td of May last, I was igain going from Lawrence to Weslport with the mail and five or six passengers, when I waa again ordered by the pstmater at Franklin to deliver my way bill to Capt. Pale, as before, and the passengers wer questioned by him as lo tLeir residence, destination and future intenti.ms, as lo returning to the territory, and they were told ih at they wure marked if they ever returned to the territory. I was detained a short time after I received the mail bag Irom the postmaster. On ih - 23d of May last, I think, as I was on tbe return trip from West port to Lawrence, I waa stopped at the crossing of the Wakarusa by Captain Pate. I asked him by what au thority he stopped my team with the mail. He made no answer. I asked him, "Have you any authority?" He answered, "I have." I asked him if be would please to let me sea it. Hia reply was, "No," and demanded my way-bill. I told him I was behind time, and it waa a warm day, and I did not want to be hindered. I banded bim tbe way-bill. He looked it over and said, "His name is not on the bill." He then asked Col. Anderson, who was present with bim, if Col. Lane was in the stata Several replied that ba was not there. There was a oamp at the place. He returned the way-bill, and I drove on. Captain Pate since told me that if he had had his sword with him at that time, he would have shown me by what authority he stopped me. CHAS. J. FAY. fC. W. Babcocb, Witnesses. 0. E. Learned,

(E. A. Lado. Leauenwoi lb, June 6. 1856. The libei ty of the Press is entirely subverted in Kansas. Every newspaper establishment in the Territory sympathizing with freedom has been destroyed by the border ruffians. These including two in Lawrence, one in Ossawaltomie, and one in Leavenworth. One of these the most important was the Herald of Freedom, conducted by George W. Brown, a Pennsylvanian, who emigrated from one of the northern counties, at the head of a body of two hundred of his friends and neighbors. Brown was absent from the Territory, but was on hia way home when hia office waa destroyed by the mob at Lawrenee. He waa seised on the river in Missouri to prevent his reaching Lawrence in time. By the fire and mob bu lost all his property, but the sympathies of the friends of freedom in the Northern States have sufficed to raise him a fund by means of which his paper will be re-established where it cannot be reached by ihe borde-ers. It will be published in Illinois, but the money raised will be employed in securing a corps of editors and reporters in K anBas, scattered all over the Territory, rendering the paper much more form idable than it waa before. It will bear all the marks of publication in Lawrhnce, and tbe post office circulation will proceed as uiual. Phil. NorM American Democratic Account of tha Destruction of Lawrence. The Sentinel's slow wagon has at length arrived, with the Democratic account of the destruction of Lawrence, which we give below. It will be seen that it is substantially tbe sara as given by that Abolition "Institution" called the telegraph. It confirms the account of the destruction of the presses and of the Hotel, by order of a government officer, thua proving beyond further cavil that a free press is offensive to the party that has control of Kansas officers. But the beauty of the thing la that the Sentinel dare not publish this account, after waiting so patiently for it. It is really more shocking in its details than the free state account. It is from the Leompton Cnion, tha official organ of Shannon At Co. Read it, ye Democrats, who have been saying "just wait till we hear the other side of the story." Here it is. now. Read it, and then vote for Buchanan if you can. We venture to guess that not two Democratic papers in Indiana will dare publish It LAWRENCE TAKEN! Glorious Triumph of tha law and order Party over Fanaticiim in Kauai rrL PAw.Ttcot.Alta. Tbe armed and determined realstaoco of the oilisens of Lawrence to our lews, and the many offenses against the officers who attempted to execute them, and the more reoentdevslopements in the Committee-room at that place, forced tbe U. 8. Marshal, on the I Ith day of May, 1866, to issue the following PROCLAMATION. TO TUR FROrtVR Ol KARSAS TRRBfTORY. Whereat, Certain judioial writs of arrest have boen directed to me by the First District Court of tbe United States, kc, to be executed within the of County of Douglns; and, whereas, an attempt to execute them by tbe United

States Deputy Marshal wae violently resisted by a targe number of tbe citisena of Lawrenee, and as there is every reason to believe that any attempt to execute those writs will be resisted, by a large body of armed men; now, therefore, the law-abiding eitiaens of ibe - Territory are commanded to be and appear at Lecompton, as soon as practicable, and ia numbers sufficient lor tbe proper execution of the Law. Given under my hand this 1 Ith day of May, 1866. L B. DONALDSON, U. 8. Marshal for Kansas Ter'y. This call was answered from all sections of the Territory. On Tuesday, the 20th, a large foree of Lawand Order men having gathered in and around Lecompton, the Marshal ordered the different camps to concen träte about two miles this tide of Lawrence, ao aa to be ready for the execution of his immediate demands upon the people of Lawrence. At th a order we left our sanctum and proceeded to the encampment, equipped for the occasion, and here begins our notice: Tobsdat, May 201 o'clock. Here we are in camp every thing looks very warlike. The eavalry, numbering some 180, commanded by Col. H. T. Titus, of this County, originally of Florida, are dashing over the hills st the clear tones of their commander's voice the infanty companies are being drilled by their different Captains, and every body is in the line preparing for an engagement. But few have an idea of the feeling that possesses one at the martial netes of a drum and fife, or the cle r, shrill tones of 'he bugle, sounding the charge of 200 troopers. It ia enough to make tbe veriest coward a brave man, and the expiring soldier grasp again bis sword. This encampment consists of about 60 tents and upward of 400 men. All have made up their minds to fight desperate in case of resistance. Men never were more determinedly resolved and eager to meet the issue. The prison-tent has eight occupants ihey all seem contented and satisfied, and say they were never belter Mated in their lives. Their quarters are comfortable, and they have a plenty to eat and drink. 2 O'Clock Order were received to march at three tents struck, wagons loaded and all were upon the move at the appointed time. Three pieces of cannon, with 150 additional men

were in the road a short distance off to join us. We encamped about 6 o'clock near tbat place, where the noted Squatter Convention was held in '64. Here we heard v.inoua rumors about fighting one that 300 mounted men from Topeka were in our rear and intended attacking us that night one that the various propositions made by the Lawrenceitea to the Marshal waa oaly to gull us, and that there would certainly be a fight; this last rumor waa considered creditable, and pleased the boys verv much. We were nol disturbed by the Topekans thai night, but early next morning the cavalry were called to scort the cannon to Lawrence. At 4 o'clock the cannon were planted without any resistance upon the bights bet on d Robinson's bouse, and within 400 yards of the big stone hotel. When we first reached there, not a human being could be seen. In about one hour there gathered in the streets, in front of the hotel, some 160 men; some one was haranguing them. Off to the east of town eleven men came out from a small stone building, formed in front, and marched in town. Several men attempted to leave town, but were off by our pickets. These were the only indications of a fight. At 8 o'clock the infantry joined us; at 1 1 Major Bu ford's company from Franklin arrived; and by 12 our forces amounted to 800 strong, cavalry and and would not have anything undone lhat waa done and hall do more if let alone o let our doinga go forth for the inspection and criticism of the na lion. In ibis report we have "notes t. nuated nor ought set down in mal ice," but furnished a simple and unvarnished sum total of facts. As to the "Law and Order" party of KanBBS, tbey bare but one opinion, but one mind, to stand in defence ol their laws and their rights at all haxtrda. We forgot to mention in nur account, that the long conjecture of the FreeState Hotel being a fortress, waa found to be true. From the surface of ihe roof the wall extended to the highi of 3 feet, with four port holes in each side, making in ail sixteen large enough to admit the mouth of an eighteen -pound gun. The mouth of the holes were concealed from view by a thin coat of lime, lhat could be easily knocked out when deaired. The above statement can be established by several hundred witnesses. The "Red Shirts" raised the first flag upon the Free-State Hotel. They have in possession the twelve-pound howitzer taken from the enemy, and whenever necessary can use it effectually. Captain Donaldson may feel proud of his "Red Skirts." Prora Iba Carolina Tlmea. From Kansas. Camp Carolin a. K. T. May 26. 1866. Drar : I arrived here last night from Lawrence, our expected ballle (-round. Wo had no fight; they aarnmdered Ibe town, with all of its arms. We took one twelva pound mounted howitzer, three small cannons and

some few Sharp's rifles; though at least one thousand Sharp 'a rifles were either moved or buried. We destroyed two printing offices and the hotel built by tba Aid Society ; It was a perfect tort; the top was tilled with port holes, and had they the bravery, two hundred men eouia have defended the town against ose thousand, but the cowards deaerted the town. The women only were brave; they, maintained their honor by remaining in the town, and had the boldneaa to tall ua that they could not be mide to leave it.

Our party numbered about five hundred; at least two hundred and fifty of them were Carolinians and we bad the honor of planting our banner the first upon the trenches of the city of Lawrence. It also waved over the Herald of Freedom office and the hotel. Lieutenant Andrews, of our company, had hia arm badly wounded by the bursting of a musket, and young Burt, son of Ex-Governor Burt, of Nebraska, was wounded in the head, not badly; he is well now. We have not lost a man, only by sickness. Two of our company died at Westport. Missouri. Eight or nine Abolitionists were killed at Lawrence. We have Brown, tho editor of tbe Herald of Freedom, here, a prisoner. He is to be tried for treason, and if not hung, the boys will never allow bim to get off. Robinson, the bogus Governor, is in custody he is bound to be hung. Reeder has escaped so far. We had Miller; he is from Chester District, and has been publishing an abolition paper here he was tried for his life, but was not convicted. Every msn I meet is armed to the teeth, and if be claims to be a freesoiler," we take his arms from him. I saw Hamilton Hardy and David Fleming at Lawrence; they are both well. James Wsddell has gone to Atchison, with the Charleston company. I leave wilh a squad of twenty mounted men for Hickory Point directly. The pro-slavery men were run from there night before last by the Yankees. Truly yours, aYc,

Cor rtsjjo n ijciicc. The General Conference. Mr. Editor: The twelfth Delegated General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church closed its session on last Thursday evening. I have thought that a brief resume might be neither displeasing nor unprofitable to your readers. Yet. 1 must, in justice, say tbat I have been absent from the Conference room much of the time necessarily so. As to tbe appearance of the body it is enough to say tbat gentlemen, accustomed to see the various assembles which have met in our State House from year to year, pronounce it the finest looking body of men ever convened in the Capitol. There was a suitable mixture of aged experience and youthful vivacity. On thiapoint one suggestive inquiry. Some of oar elder ministers are perpetually denouncing the younger for departure from Ihe old land marks and will tbey tell me bow it comes that every, so called innovation ia headed by did men ? The ammus of the Conference may be sly led that of Cautious pro gression jubt the spirit most hopeful lo Ihe church. A Spirit wniCÜ Will nol refuse change for the better, but which demands lhat substantial rsasons shall be shown. Among tbe mass of business done, I may specify a few items. About nine new Conferences were created, yet no new Bishops were elected. This is as it should be. By the proper arrangement, tbe present Board of Bishops can hold all the Conferences and give tbem sufficient lime. The probability is tbat after one more fall session, our Conference win oe neia in me monin oi Jtpru "a conaummation devoutly to be wished." Our Biabopa are laborious and active men, and will work hard, and we believe ia letting them, fae Souti. Eastern Indiana will meet in Madison Sept, 17. Biabop Waugh presiding. Slavbbt It was evident lhat this was the great question of the session and one which would require much wisdom and much grace to settle. Unlike former discussions, there was in the late General Conference no pro-slavery element. The members from Baltimore Conference, from Missouri, Virginia, Arkansas, Texas the, all admitted the evil of slavery, its antagonism to the genius of Christianity and civil liberty, and the duty of every man t labor lor Ua extirpation. labor tor The anti-slavery men (to speak lech - aaa. a a .. a m. a A.a mcally ; also admiitea mat mere were oircumstancea under which alaveholding might exist without sin lhat the , , . -i legal relation 01 master anu aiave might be found, where both master and slave walked blameless before God. Yet there was a marked difference of view. The sentiment of some was that the Discipline should lc so changed tbat nou slavt holding should be a test of membership, or at least that the possession of a slave should be prima facie evidence of moral wrong. and the possessor be put to the proof of innocence. The other side contended the new chapter reported by the majority of the committee on slavery, instituted a new test oi mcmoeranip unknown 10 tbe Discipline thst to make a new term of membership by mere statute while the rule, apart of tbe Constitution remained unchanged waa of doubtful constitutionality, in tbia view concurred tome of tbe leading auti-ela-a a a a a very men ot Xsew England and elsewhere.
