e Slave States. The General Conference held at Cincinnati in 1836 solemnly disclaimed any right, wish, or intention, to interfere with the civil and political relation between master and slave, as it exists in the slaveholding States of this Union, condemned two ministers who had delivered Abolition lectures, and declared the opponents of Abolition true friends to the Church, to the slaves of the South, and to the Constitution of our Country.

In 1774, the Philadelphia meeting directed that all persons engaged in any form of slave-trading be disowned; and in 1776 took the decisive and final step by directing that the owners of slaves, who refused to execute the proper instruments for giving them their freedom, be disowned likewise.
