A rising vote was taken on the other parts of the proposition, and it was afterwards carried as a whole. The following were elected a committee to issue a Pastoral Address to the people, concerning this action: S. Register, S. S. Roezel, E. R. Vietch, J. S. Martin, N. Wilson, T. H. W. Monroe, and Wm.

Wilson's proposition, is, in my judgment, in viciation of the order and Discipline of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and, therefore, is hall and void regarded as Conference action.-- Intherefore do not recognize the said action as infracting the integrity of this body, and so I proceed to finish the business of the present session.

er existing circumstances, of communicating to the Secretary of the Conference, previous to its next session, their determinations is regard to the questions that have arisen in this Conference at its present session, touching the action of the late General Conference on the subject of slavery, as we regard a decision on their part as essential to our interests as an organic body in the Methodist Episcopal Church in these United States." It was carried.

between the fright they got when we made a few air holes in the Star of the West, the impoverished and bankrupt state of their Treasury, and the contemplated invasion, they certainly have been brought to a stand still, and eventually to a dastardly back down. All the high officials of the military have been called suddenly to Montgomery — what for, no one knows, but it is thought by well informed men that it is to arrange the army, and have the officers assigned, and to consult as to future operations.
