Kvaege-icai Union r franco?Rev. B. S. Dickenson,
Dr Botd, of Virginia, use opposed to sending a delegate
to the Genera! Association of New York. 1 think, said
he, it ia due to myself to express my opposition to send
ing a delegate to that association. We have learned of
ieially frcm their delegate (Rev. Dr. Storrs) that they
claim the light to remonstrate with thie body or any
othsr with which they consepood. I don't oppose thstn
on acoeaat of their -tentiments regarding slavery, bat
there is s principle involved in this matter. I think it ii
due to myself, and to this body, as a matter of sslf
reeptct, to reed bo delegate to that association. Toey
sent to us a resolution couched in otfensive and disoour
taons terms, they have declared slavery t; be a curse, and,
judging from the views piopagated by the journal which
represent* the sentiments ot that boty, they wiU soon
declare that Preebjterlaniam ia a curae, and tney
will remonstrate with u* upon this subject. 1 will not re
oognlse in thorn any light to remonstrate with us on any
subject. I protest senuing a delegate to that buoy.
After some debate, the subjeot was referred ti a com
mittee consisting of tie following member*:?Judge Jos
sum Dr. Bvman, Dr. Boyd, Dr. Mills and Dr. Adauis.
Rev. B. Bscxw rtu presented the following:?
Havisg learned wlih nleasure 'hat he Amerlren Bible Bo

try?
Besjivtd, Tha' the Grce.-al Assembly heartily approve this
mewuK, and commend the enterprise to the etlorta and pray
ers ol our eh ureter.
The question on slavery, or the adoption of the
majority report, was here resume!. Dr. Boyd
cpeced' flie disciiM-ion, and spoke as follow*:?
I nave only to remark the I have no wish to ente into
a protracteu discussion ot tae subject of tlaveiy. It has
always been my convic'ion, ever since tills suojact ha*
been agitated in the Presbyterian courch that a great
deal cl evil has resulted from he agitation. aud, in re
spect to this point, 1 must org letve^to differ Iron Dr. Ross
on the one hand and iny aboiitun brethren on the other.
I, therefore, have nlwty* deeply regretted th* a<ta'.ion
ot the ouoject in the r-hutoh; not bereuse I felt that our
Southern churches could not vindicate theane.vee,
but I thick 1 may appeal to th? history of the
General Anembly of tne I'rsebytenan church in
proof of the fact tha: when the subject was
there introduced, the Sou'bern members of the body
were always ready to defeat! themselves. My own con
viction is teat tie agitetinn of this question is calculated
only to defeat the very object whi>:h those brethren who
have tevn at the General Assembly have desired to pro
mote. Bi ufhern man as I am, and lcentihvd in every
thing who ? he South?having no other wish when 1 cte
than to lay my bonei beneath a Southern sod?I profess
to eel a* great an interest in behalf ot the slave a* those
itdividutU wh; take public action upon the subjeot here
at the North, with the view to the abolition of slavery.
1 have btcn tuliy tatisfitd. from my kn iw ledge 10 regard
. to tills general agitation oi the subject, it ha* only tended
to rivet tighter sod tighter the chains of the slave, and
lead to Ite enactment of mote oppressive Jaws. Now it
his teen said that 1 approved of almost '.he wh is of the
mejoilty report in the committee, but I never gave my
?auction to it, nor would I so long as the Detroit action
was embraced in It. I now ray if any one can point out
a case where the relations cf master and slave are incon
sistent with the c'aims of humani'y, it is an offence
against the law* of Gcd. So, if the bread question was
Jut to me?" Do yen beli?ve it is iceonsbitent wtth the
emend* of hnxanityf" I say ''No." If you prove
it exists in vica'a'ion ol the great iitcterts of man
net orly rf the black man, bu: ot the white mail?
,-*2*6 it is a sid is the tight of G )d. Dat asrs u the pcmi.
Ha* this Deceral krseinbly tne constitutional pow.-r to
treat as an odinee 'lav* holding whether a sin or not in
the sight of God if it is not prohibited in the confession
bock? The Sfrerd question belli re 'his body pertains to
its cocetituticcai power < var the subject of slavery.
Mow, that question has hardly been attended to.
i submitted the minority report to one of the
most learned lawyers in the State of Virginia,
and be replied that there was not a judge on
the bet eh that would not sanction the princip e* therein
set forth. My abolition brethren, I want to say a few
words to you I am a Southern man?ail my *enM
ments and interest* are identified with the 8;u\h, but I
love this church, and I will yield to no man, who
re* he may be, North, South, East or West in
y davohoo tu it; and what I say of myself I
, ay say of every member of this body, and of all
j brethren from the South. We have made sacri
?es upon this subject wfcijli no other part Of the
1 arch has made. I could tell you a story, w?rs this a
mper time ard place, which would *ho<v how much
ey have sac: IS *0, even to the breaking up ot the bonds
_ <- the family, and the -eoaration o' the deareit relatives.
%heo you look at the minutes ot this body you will find
that we are small In cumbers in the Siuta, but I here
proclaim the fact, that the reason why we are ao small a
5>ody is lemurs of your agnation of :hU suijsct of
elevery <u tie Asttmoly. We have lost a presbytery io
Charles :c a, aud snotcer in Georgia from it Upon our
abolition brethren rest the responsibility in a great insa
enre o> our being so limited ia numbers at the South. 1
say you are colrg no good to the slaves by ttis agitation,
and are patting eff longer the day or emancipation.
I.eave the respousloi.ity to o*?before God we are willing
to discharge 'he trust. Ws are the men to decide
tb? qui* ion, and yon have no powar in this
esse. If yon ev?r adopt the prlncip'e that
nlaveho.clrg Is a sic, per tt, there is not a church In
the 8on-h, whether oompcsec entirely or parliehy of
elevehoUers, which would not at onots sunder the con
nectlca with this body. I de ire earnestly that what
ever you may do with this report, to cea*e the agitation
upon this question. I wish you would all agree in the
Cropagaboo of the goepil oi 'Jbrist. and not en ;poee that
7 eociM'.astical laws you are to effect the subject of s'av
vry. Bravery ia an evil like other evils which have bean
impoaed upon us, and for woieh ws are not responsible
it was 'asteced upon ns by British aggression.
Dr. Burn here said that he had been spoken of by Dr.
3oytf c- sn abolitionist.
Dr. Botd, in reply, denied that he had done bo. I have,
said he. I eard nothing frcm or of my brother, which
would lead me to mase a charge against him of that
kind
Dr, gltrni addressed the eceembly, argufng in regard
to the authority of that bidy in matters of discipline, and
in support of the Detroit action.
Rev. Dr. Reed, of Virginia, said the greater part of his
cfcurch was cr reposed of slaveholders, end tha churches
oonstltutirg the T'recrjrtery he represented had also slave
holders emong their memier* He (Dr. Resa) wss not
hin:self how*var, the owner of any stave, but he hired
tf cm. We desire, taid he, to be kn<wn here as slave
hi .der??here ia this Chris 1 an cuureh We make no
evarlcn upon that point?we wish it to be cnleratood,
also, that we aecevt the sy rem of slavery which prevails
In ths 8.nth. I den't wish he continued, to evade a
parvfele, iead to whatever action it mav. I am authorised
to ssy that we consent to stand here ai slaveholders In
the Ch: it Inn ehureh. ir we are asked, do we accept the
whole f stem ? I answer it tn this way?do we accept the
Ssabtatb part of the 1'ui'ed States mail law wh*n we sig
nify our acceptance cf the pottsge Bystem v Hold ua re
-epcnrtbie for tht evil tf 'lavery, and we hold yon rsspon
sdb.'a for ail the evils of the municipal govern
ment, or for those which spring out <-f the
meinaie reie'itn. The *y?t?m of slavery prevails
by law, and we hava never had an opportunity, if ws de
aired. io a!*er that law We accept it a* it 1*. aud under
ths ciieuE-Staacea, according to the command of <ma to
he obecisnt to the powers that be, for the powers that be
?re ordainrd of God. If ale very be a sin we open tha
Bible and find that God by making regulation* for it, tell*
us how we may commit sin. Dust Dr. Wister accept
that point.
Dr. Wi-teaa-w-No, sir.
Dr. Rsxd?The Lord of Heaven and the apostles did
not say that it wet a sin although It was existing
at the time of tha Apos'lss. I sail that the agita-,
tlon of the subject retarded the emancipation of the
alava and denied that he or his Ronthern brethren
aeked for any compromises from the Assembly. If their
connection with it reflected upon the integrity of that
body they should cut them off from i\ He cha-act?riz<d
* the agitation on the slavery question &? an a grinding
agitation that corrupted end perverted tbe charity ol the
church.
Dr. Jfiua contended that slavery was an ini.ltution
which takes the labor of m?i without rendering them
any just or adoqnate reward, ft is, said he an tosiitn
tion that interferes wl'h the parity and tntegr-.ty of the
family- sn institution dengned for the hi<tte?t fmpreve
ment o'cux race?and*this is an Institution that it has
almost annihilated. It is an institution that pnta tli ?
religious ptivilefos of immortal beings at tbe will of tha
s!av?*a*ter. It Is an Insti ution that subject* immor
U1 and re*iA?o?n>;a k#rg* made to set under ths hlg;
inflnetce of moral goven ment to the level of brnte force.
If the Crea'or had made any man to be a slave It Is the
worst pieee of wvik ev?r at empted. Yoa may develop*
a slave fill he is a vigorous and skilful workman, but it
1# not profitable to have him too smart or understand
geogiaphy, and partlcoJirly the geography of the North
r, wert Ne! s avory has ao law of progress. Get tbe man
1 up to a certain standard and that Is as higli a* is wanted.
I em spesklrg rf the sy-tem as it is. aad not
a. some good men practioe it. I>r. Mills here argned
that a slave oould not oon'orm with either the require
n-rut' of the marriage obligations or those of the baptin
<ua:*aeian>ent, for he was not bin own maAter, and his
evil I was subject to SB other
Itiv Mr Amur eupported the majority report.
Key M'. Warn*r. ot Cayuga oounty, spoke against
?.avoir a* e gieat wrong.
Rev. Mr tOUMUE. of Ohio, contended that slavery was
?coctisiy to the rigbtooueuess and benev.lenoe of the
Lbristlen rel gion ; bui he did not. however, desire any
?ocieios'itWal action upon '.be subject. He was willing to
leave it in lhe hands of the brethren at tha South, in
whom tie bad tho greatest coofldence.
Or. R/iwrt?1 answer for the South.
Mr. IisnsiJi?Then, sir, we are brothers; and I kaew
there ws* ? common ground upon whtoh wa stood.
Hare 'h* reverend gentlemen shook bands warmiy with
each otW smid the applause of the assambly.
After t'H&i* farther diJcajuf&n on tta motion to adopt
tha majutlv report, the question was put, aad It Wss
?lediled bj * vet y largo aajorlty that the report shou d

was warmly eon'ested. It wee decided that ths minority

Rev. Dr. Hi'mphrtt In thle connection, preeented n re

preference in conformity wih Its *0-ion in 18511 and 1861,
to establish and endow Danville Seminary as a first class
eeminary, and to that end it is earnestly recommends!
to call the congregations under our care, espesially those

The reverend gentleman spoke at considerable length fe
support of hie resolution, and explained the pfgress aad
flourishing c nditlon of Danville Seminary. A number
of Oommise toners followed, pro and am.
Rev. Mr. OHM? proposed, as an amendment to the

to interfere in any wav with the Theological
Seminary at New Aloanv, Imiana, under the ears of th*
synods of Circiouaii sua Southern Indian*. Judge Fine

Humphrey's the words " take measures to endow"

Kev. Dr. Jt'NKij. moved to strike Out " first class," but
withdrew li at the suggestion of several members, ai all
the seminaries w?re supposed to be ' first clean." The
Kev. Doctor, ic making the motion, inquired if they ever

tamily of Virginia."

Rev. Mr. Crozier ieue ve<l the res dutlon which he had
previously withdrawn, a.-king (ai be avid) that the Ah
ttmbly shou'd reaffirm its acllou of 1854
A considerable amount of difference cf opiuiin appear
ing to prevail as to the resolution, and a motion to lay it
on the table hating been made Rev. Mr. Crozier asked
leave to withdraw it agsin, and was above 1 to do so.
The rext order of the day, P.ev. Mr. l'helps' (Iowa)
resolution providing for a translation of the standards of
the church in German, was th< n taken up.
Rev. Dr. Prime opposed the resolution by raa'ono! lie
utter imp-acticabt:ity, in view of the fact tba the Pres
byterian church was an Eoglisb speaking holy, wi.ob
gave their Impress to the symbols and form of words
which ar* to te the exposition of their faith and order.
He held it almost impracticable to diffuse that exact lm
prets through a foreign language as in the maansr pro
posed, and in illustration referred to the tart that the
Board of Publication attempted this undertaking on a
small scale, in publishing the email Catechism in Ger
man. ( poa an examination of too translation, it was
found that "justification" was rendered "a work of di
vine grace." which was a materially erroneous transla
tion. "Ranctificatlon" was "a work"?' jos'.ifi ration"
was "an act." He also opposed the resolutlin by reason
of the difficulties that might arise in cases of discipline,
end also as tendirg to ertot as it were a foreign church
in their midst. He then moved that tbe resolutl >n be
referred to the Board of Publication, for them to act on

Jam's Banford and G<<>. IF. Brush.?The ptaiatiffs cm
eluded their evidence yesterday afternoon, and tbe eaae
for the defence was opened by Mr. R. C. Underbill, who
argued that at the time the Coroner took possession of
tbe wreck, her name aad consequently her owners, as
s gue.es or agente were unknown. He was, therefore, not
on y entitled but ob iged to act as he had done. He also
maintained that tbe operation* o' Brush displayed no
went of skill on bis part, and tbat tbe breaking of the
mast was not earned by unikilfnlu'ss. but from the
prtesuie ci the ioe. This last statement was eorrobo
rated by the evidence cf rne of the pilots on the Bridge
street ferry, and the master of a sloop thee employed to

Fall in thr Price op Land Warrants?
land warrants, within the last ten days, have fallen off
both In this and the New York markets'from 8 to 10cents
per sere. Several of the laige dealers are not baying,
?mi others are Indifferent about pur^ering. This sud

Railrrad land bill, and the closing of ali the land dis
tricts of that State to tbe further irextion, of warrants.
This act will ihnt tbe Iowa lacd offices for tbe next

water. One break in tbe bank of the canal one mde east
of here, and one pertlal break two milee east As many
other culverts are in the same condition as those broke

LOBD CLAMKDOn'i UTLT *0 MB. MAOCT.
Out neighbors of the National totiMgmotr km boon
kindly fit to rod by o follow tonoou wtth a oopy of tho
reply of LoN ClArendoc to Mr. Mom'? toot despatch on
the enlistment question, whish, together with Mr. Cramp
ton's letter on tho anine subject to Lord Clarendon, u
published is that journal of yeotorday. ha we are actio
fortunate at to ha TO so kind a toUow-towwamaa from
whom we eaa procure tarasea copies of British docu
moata, we treely tender to our neighbor* ear ?*????*? for
the opp< rtualcy of reading tho document referred to be
fore it haa reeeivea tho action of ear own government.
If wo are unable to coincide with them la our riewi aa to
the policy whioh the document ooght to iadaoo our vov
ernment to pursue, it will not bo tho Ant *sm+ that we
have had the miatortune to differ with ear neighbor* on
question* of disagreement between the two governments.
The Intelligcnver regard* Lore Clarendon's letter aa oo
oonoiiiatorv and apologetic in its oharaetec. that it pat
ronisingly hopes that "oar government will, in a spirit
of frankness and oourteey, forego the farther proooeotioa
of this vexatious oontroverey, and accept the proffsrei
band extended to it by tho British government.'' he we
are unable to concur fully in the suggestion oo promptly
made, wo will proceed, in a brief way, to express the ira
pieesione male on oar mind by tho letter of Lord OU
reLdon, without Intending to bo undent no! as intima
ting either what oar government ought to do or will do
In he pitmiiM-s.
The substance of Lord Clarendon's letter may bo stated
in every fen* tds:?
It exwret ?)y disclaims any intention on the part of the
Briti h government to infringe the neutrality laws or the
rights of sovereignty cf tho United Mateo in its latere
lie vent proceeding*.
It girts ertc i- to t be denials of guilt by the British offi
ciaa i p.icstea in ths p.-oeeodtngs, nod discredits the
evidence on which our government charged tho same
Btitlrh officials with guilty complicity la tho enlistment
of soldiers for the ?*a etn war within eur jurisdiction.
With the exc-ptlon o certain indleatioco of wounded
prtle in constqueuoe of tbs overwhelming despatch of
Mr. Mar ay, we fully eoneede that I. rd Clarendon's reply
if couched in language suffi.iently respectful and conci
liatory We kuotv uo reason fir rejeo icg the disclaimer
of the BriUsh government; and if there was nothing else
in the care, we might unite with the Intelligencer in
hoping thai this "vexatious controversy" would now
cease. But there are other considerations connected
wiih the subject, which, in our judgment, forbid so
summary a termination of the difficulty.
I'pon evidence on whioh our government relied, Mr.
Cramp ton was charged wit a a complicity with designated
psr lee in a sye.emetic violation of our neutrality lag*
and our sovereign rights, and for that eta e his recall
was demented. It dies not seem to us that the dis
claimer of tie British cabinet of any intention on their
part to violate our laws lelie es our governmoat from the
necessity of tsklcg fur ther steps in the case. The govern
ment may very well he ohargeabl* with no each illegal
intention, sad yet the minister may be guilty, us charged.
We cannot see bow it is aa answer to the allegation
against Mr. Crampton to say that his government
in'entitd eg violatl .n of our law*, or rights.
But the Bii'isk government goes farther, and refuses to
tecs 11 Mr. Crampt n because the denies that he is guilty,
as charged, aud, in so doing, sets anise and disoreJi ji the
proof of his guiit on which our government relied.
In otoer words. Mr. Ciampton puts in the plea of
not guilty, ana his g verniueut chooses to take his
word in exculpation of himself rather then give credif to
the 'ektimon.v on which our government is convince! of
his guilt. We suppose that Mr. Cramp'on has aU the
time stood upon the ccmmon right of the accused to
plead "not guii'.ybut in our government such a plea,
fclthcugh put in by a Brit if h minister, is not reoognlsel
as prrcf to cufvtigh he testimoLy admitted as legal,
and sufficient fie c .r.v'ctijn in our oourts of justice.
The proposition the elore, to 6top the farther prosecu
tion ol the matter, amounts to a suggestion that the
charge was ursd* on inc mpetent, or incredible, or In
sufficient evidence. As we know no reason why our
gtvercmsns skruld make such aa admission, we take it
tor granted thkt ihe propositi ;n will be rejected. We
cettainly do not think that the late devel opeaents as to
Mr. Crampton'* credibility as a wltneis in his own case
are calculated to give any special weight in his plea
of not guilty. We cotolude, therefore, that the im
Eteesicn sought to he made that Lord Clarendon's letter
* likely to relieve Mr. Crampton from the oharge made
against him, and to induce our government to change its
policy es Indicated by demanding his recall, is without
any founda. ion. Whatever course our government ntr
deem It proper to pursue under the circumstance!, it is
gratifying to know that, as the ease now stands, the
British government ean have no pretext for heirg seri
ously offended It can sure!/ be no cause of hostilities
if cur government chooses to adhere to its conviction
thet the evidence ts conclusive as to Mr. Cramptoa's
guilt; end for that reason, whi'et it may aooept the din
ers It at r as to any Intentional violation of our lavs or
fights by the British government, should determine that
Mr. Ciamptcn's continuance here as minister would be
iEOompatlhle with a proper regard for our national self
tespeor. We do not know what may be the oourse of the
sdminlstT&tioa, bat we bays deemed it proper to make
ibece f-uggeftinus as the result of oar reaaiug of the
reply cf Lord Clarendon.

REPORT OP THE SLAVERY COMMITTEE.
[Ccrre epcndence of the Cincinnati Gaze"e.]
Indianapolis, May til, IBM.
Mr. Raymond, Chairman of the Committee on Slavery,
then announced thet he wee reedy to report. The hell
wee immellately ?o still thet the leeit footstep on toe
eerpet wee audible.
Dr. Dtriiw announced thet the minority, he believed,
were not quite reedy with their report, lie wee reedy,
but some of the members hed, within an hoar, expressed
e deetre to revle v it before it was offered.
Mr. Ratkond then read the report.
Tbe Committee, after e suite'lie preamble, recommend
ed tbe passage ol the fo lowing resolutions:?
Resolved, By the delegates in general conference as
rembled. thet we recommend to the Annual Conterenses
the alteration of tbe discipline in regard to the general
rules < n slavery, no as to read?
" The buying end selling or holding a human being in
bond are."
Resolved, The' w? reiommend aa a substitute for the
seventh cbsp'er cf the Book of Discipline, the follow
log:?
What shell be done for tbe extirpation of the evil of
slavery i
Answer 1. We deo'are thet we ore as much as erer
convinced of the greet evil of slavery. We believe thet
all men, by nature, have an equal right to freedom, and
that no men has s moral rtgbt to hold a fellow belig as pro
perty. Therefu-e, no slaveholder shall be eligible to mem
berrhlp incur church hereafter, where emancipation can
be effected wlthon* injury to the slave. Bat, loasmuoh
as persons may be brought lnto|the If get 1 elation of slave
holders, lavolustmriy or volun'artly, by purchasing
slaves in crier to free them, therefore, tbe merely legal
relation shall not bo considered, of Itself, sufficient to
exclude n person who may thus sustain i t from the fello w
ship of the cburoh.
Answer 2. W henever a member of err church, by any
or ace, becomes the owner of a slave, it shall be the duty
of the preacher in charge to call together a committee of
at least tores jnembers who shall investigate the ease,
and determine the time in whieh ?uchj| slave shall be
lreed; and on his refusal or neglect to abide by tbe deci
sion of said committee, he stall be dealt with as In case
of immorality.
Arnwer 3. It shall be the duty of all ear members and
probationers who may instate tbe legal relation of slave
holder 1o teach their servants to read the word of Grd;
to allow them to attend the public worship of God on oar
regular days o! divine service; to protect them in the
observance of the dn'ies of the conjugal and p&'ental
relatione; to give them such compensation for their ser
vices as may, under the eircumstanoes, be just and equal;
to make such provisions as may be legally practicable, to
prevent them and their posterity from passing into per
petual slavery; and to treat them, In all respects, as re
quired by the law of love.
Answer 4. It shall be the duty of oar preachers pru
dently to enforce the above rules.
Immediately after the reading of the report the con
ference adjourned.

?A Dis-iTNorisHitD Victim Rkjtseb to Aitsak Against
trim ?It will be remembered that several months since,
a Veirr.ont official of the name of W. H. Johnson, holding,
we believe, tbe two offices of Sheriff and Treasurer, was
robbed In this city, by means of wbat is called tbe "panel
game." It sppeared, according to his statement at tbe
time, that alter his arrival la this city, and while hunt
ing for a hotel, he was met in the street by a man who
offered to sbow him the way, but carried him to a private
bcuse at the West end, and left him in a room; that soon
nf'er a female eame In, and the result was a sudden re
turn of tbe man with a companion, and tbe charging Mr.
joinson with crime ?omn.itbed with the female, who was
cAimed by one of the men as his wife After various
threats of prosecution, Ac., Mr. Johnson was Induced by
the men to pay over about $100 in money and his gol l
watch, and also to sign a paper acknowledging his guilt.
Mr. Johnson made a statement of his loss to the Boeton
police, and after bis description of the chief personages la
the affair, Itepu'j Chief Bam and Copt. W. D. Eaton pro
ceed t-d to New Voik city, and theie arrested two well
kne wn characters, named William Conne 1y alias Thoma&
and his wife, Margaret Connelly, who, after some troubfc
and delay, were brought to tbls city and Identified by
Mr. Johtsrnas tbe person who robbed him. The case
was taktn before the Grand Jury, who found a bill of ia
dictn-.rnt, acd tb- partis# not being able to obtain the
large boh demented, amounting to several thousand dol
lars, were lodged in jail, where they have remained un
it a week or two since, when the bail was reduced to nn
amount which they obtained, and they were net at
liberty. When IHsMict Attorney Cooley vae prepared to
try tbe case be discovered that Mr. Johnson, who. in
?be first place, was zealous for tbe arrest and trial ol the
accused, Led suddenly cooled off. Be replied by letter
that he could not Una time to come. Mr. Goo ley rejoin
ed that be mustcome, or if he did not he should make a
statement in court in rsgaid to the case. Mr. Johnion
rejoined that be bod already suffered sufficiently In the
mafer, and hod mode up his mind not to appear as a
witness. This morricg Mr. Cooley read the letter In
court, stated that be bad not, without, Mr Johnson, suf
ficient testimony to proceed with the trla', anddlseon
ioned proceedings, whereupon the accused was dls
barged. The Connelly woman Is tbe same one who

This was finally doc Idea as
anti-republican, and a compromise with republican prin

tled, a debate arose as to tho mode of choosing the dele
gate*, and whether they should choose the alternates
themselves, or Isave tho vtewoies to be filled by the de

Cot ten Trade.
The circular of T. J. Steirart & Co., prepared for
transmission abroad by the steamship Atlantic, gives
the following review of the ootton market:?
The dull fe sling that prevailed at the date of oar last
issue, per Erieison. on the 10th inst, continued the en
suing week np to the arrival ot the Asia on Friday morn
itg. during which period the daily sales did not exoeed
1 000 bales from stock. Tbs decline by that patket
being less than holders anticipated, a firmer feeling en
sued, resulting in a large bust so is the tollo wing day at
!*o. improrement. On Wednesday of the present week
we received by telegraph from Halifax the Canada's ad
vices to 16th inst. These accounts of sales of 46.600
i prevli
bales, doting steadier at the fall prices of the previous
week, with a firmer feeling at Manchester atd prospec
tively easier market f >r discounts, has given the trade
here rtnewed strength, the sales on that day reaching
.1,000 bales, of which cne-half was in transit, at a small
improvement. Although the market exhibited more tone,
tt* re was less du-po-i ion to purchase the next day, and
the sa'es did not exoeed 1,600 bales.
The letters per Canada were received yesterday morn
lng, since receipt of which the market has been lest at
tended and closed heavy at our previous quotatiens, with
occa* total sales >4o. eff, wi'h a business of 2,000 ba'es.
The rivers are now navigable, and likely to remain so
for a month, as rain has fal'en at the Sop th west, and the
MiseiMippt is kept in a good stage by rises above the
mouth of the Ohio. Here the opinion prevails that the
receipiR may continue steaoy for about a month, but
that, if so, they will en'irelj exhaust the crop, and the
subsequent deliveries be less than In 1863. We know of
no rata on which such a theory ean stand, as that would
plaoe the crop nr.der 3,600,000, whereas, in our opinion,
not! irg bnt want of navigation ean now prevent the re
ceipts from reaching 3 600,000 bales. In that event, Great
Britain will necessarily receive over 2,000,000 bales, as
it is rot at all probable that our own mills will take
660,0C0 bales. As rtgards the crop which Is now grow
ing, we have only to say that the aooounti of its progress
ate uniformly favorable.
