It was moved and seconded that the Conference csncur in the above resolutions. Rey. W. H. Ferris said, in presenting an amendment to them, that he had friends among the ‘conservative’ and ‘progressive’? members of the conference, and the mo- tive which actuated bim in offering the amendment was a desire to subserve the best interests of the church and of the brethren in bondage. He thought they were not pre- pared to take a direct vote upon the Erie resolution, and it would be a waste of powder todo go. After athing wae twice dead and plucked up by the roots, after ome con- ferences had bad this pat'ent in hand, and had adminia- tered to it until the breath of life wag gone, it was unfairto prees it toa vote, and insist that we should administer another dose after the child was dead. . He proposed to offer ag & substitute the following: — Whereas, The New York Conference has heretofore defined its position on the question of slavery by repeated votes; and whereas the Cincinnati, Providence and Erie rules have falled of # constitutional majority, and any vote thereon must be without practical effect; and whereas our preeent rule snd disciplinary provieions on the subject have been variously interpreted ; therefore, Regolved, That We hereby decline to act upon the Erie rule, and request (be next General Conference to devise such measures as sbali clearly probibit al! giayeholding for mercenary and selfish purposes. W.H FERRIS. H. LOUNS3URG, Mr. TeRris coniinued—He offered it aa a friendly way of settling the whole question, for he could not see why they could not harmonize and vote for his resolution. Oa the question of slavery he was very much inclined to think that there was less difference of opinion than would appear on the subject. They were apt to let side ieeues control their action. Should not the church probibit ali that kind of sarehelding which was mer- cenary in its character, which was for the purpose of gan?

Hs had supposed that their opinions were directly the other way, and that their honest and covscientious aim was to strike out of the Methodist Church. as tar as they had the power to co it, all that Kind of slavehoiding which did not come uncer the Claes of benevolence. if the speaker believed Rev Mr. Ina Frans inquired mercenary slavehoiding. that the discipline sanctioned At dic not seem to bim that the church did sanction mer- cenary siaveholding. ‘The Bisnop suggested that no interruption should be Madq, but that the discugsion should be conducted in a brow ly snd Christian spirit. Mr. Fexnis replied, be oid not mean to say that the rule fanctioned mercenary slavehoiding; he never beiieved it Was intenced to do so. He could understand that the Tule of the discipline bad different interpretations in diffe- rent localities. They should have a distinct rule to express what the original rule intended tosay, bat unfortunately aid notesy. It was difficult for him to undarstand the meaning of sbe latter clauze. Did it mean that we were not to tranefer bondmen from one owner to another, or that we. ‘Were not to cli men, women and children? He confessed ‘tbe rule was not clear. He thought that every member of the Conference coald conscientiously yots for his sub- +titute. Annual Conferences were not the places to esta- blish rues. It was better that the action should originate nthe General Conference, where the whole church was yepresented; then let it go to the Annual Conference for Consideration, afd by that means the Id a great ceal of -diecuation. He would “nat oe aw party mes and select men on one aside of that ine, but take out of the Conferences. our best men, wh» delighted to honor God, aud ae to do that which Was right in the sight of all men. Stand particularly still on the question of slavery, where the tide was sweep. ing around us, was out of the question. The prospect of arresting discugeion on this matter seemed to bo out of the quertion. What the Conference ought to do was to adopt tome resolution that would express the ral opinion of the Conference, and send it up to the General Conference for action. There came to us 8 voice of jamen- tation from the South, borne to us from three millions of our brethren in bonoege. It might be an eaty matter here, amid the Juxuries of this great city, in the midst of commerce and the business of life, to forget that voice of wai But if the Church of God sent back mo respon- sive answer of sympathy, who will anawer? And if that answer may come from the ChristianChurch, from what. branch of the church could it come with more propriety than fom that branch that was honored by John Wesley asits head? He hoped that his substitute would pass, becauge the Erie resolution had already failed of a consti- tutional majority. Rev. J Z. Nicnors moved the acceptance of the Mr. Woon inquired of the President what the motion was before Mr. Ferris made his speech. The Bunor repued that the first resolution was read, and a motion to adopt it by yeas and nays was carried. i Vv.

The rule as it was wasgood enough. He was opposed to the sub- stitute, on the ground for which it was proposed, bearing upon the Gate If the church was divided again, we threw slave! ito and we gave up srw ference, which embraced very tnany who were My lceibet We should take into consideration the of the whol church. He could wish slavery blotted out, and that there was no slave territory in the conference; but he thought it would subserve the great cause of human free- dom more to hold correct sentiments himself, but not to force Southern brethren into action. By 80 doing it would drive them further into slavery. The question ‘was, how shall we best subserve the interests of the lave? Shall we do it by denouncing the masters without dis- crimination, or by taking a course in our legislative polic: that will drive those slaveholders already in our churci to desperation, and to extreme action? or shall we eub- tt the interests of these pilin s beaisen, some of m are already blessed with of the Gospel? ‘We will take our position by the i bers of the church of Christ, walk up with him, si¢e by side, into the New Jerusalem, until God in his providence, by the universal sympathies of great peop! , shall strike the bonds from ‘his hands and make him forever free. Itake my stand by the slave. Icall bim brother ag much as any other, butI do not beheve that his master should be sent to perdition destruction; yet, for the sake sake of the slave and of master, ] am willing to forbear. I am willing to kindly with the master, and to advocate the truth ear, until both shall see a brighter and better day. I trust we eball take such action on this question as will subserve the unity of our own conferences, and the highest interests of the whole church. Ray. Ina Ferris remarked that if we did not act upon the Erie regolution, the voice of this Conference would not be heard; therefore they should take specific action upon it. There was in the substitute congenial tochim, and if it bad come up untrammelied by the other resolution, they could have unanimously adopted it.
