Not even to the companion of my bosom have I related it; but God has removed the seal. I have looked on my Church and my country. I won't say there is any applicability, but would to God the little bee would come! Would to God we could be united! Emotion in the audience. Wm. Hirst rose to a personal explanation.

A rumor has been going round that there is a m on foot to carry this Conference into the Methodist Church, South. This rumor is doing its work. If any man knows of such a thing, he ought to speak out. John Lanahan.--I know that a correspondence has been carried on to carry us into the Church, South. Isaac Gibson.--I call for proof. It is a slander. Mr. Lanahan.--My character for twenty-five years has been known to this Conference. I shall make no further answer to Brother Gibson's remark. E. P.
