SVe regret that any class of persons
should seem disposed to represent the M.
E. Church as inclined to partial legisla
tion on account of color, by alllrming that
colored conferences were not allowed to
draw for funds or bo represented iii the
General Conference liku conferences com
posed exclusively of whites. It should bo
known that tho only conference? thus ex
cluded, arc our .Mission Conferences
whether willie or colored. Tho Washing-.
ton and Delaware conferences, not being
mission conferences, although 'colored are
entitled to the same privileges as other
conferences of our church. The Western
C. Advocate in referring to tins subject
i says :
? Wc think theil it in plain :
1. Thal Genend Conferou?e did/
not organizo the conference? ?f iViwlWng
ton and Delaware us mission confor*
I.s
2. Thai, consequently, tlteso confer
ences are entitled to elect delgatcs to
the General Conference, to receive divi
dends from the Book Concern and Char
tered Knud, and to vole on any proposed
constitutional changes.
,'b That any conferences winch have
been, or may be, organized by the
' Bishops * must be regarded as Mission
Conferences with restricted powers.
t. That the last (.louerai Conference
evidently desired to do all that could
consistently be done for the colored peo
ple. lt organized distinct conference!/
of colored ministers in these instances,
on the representation that such Action
1 was desired hy themselves j but it gavo
? to the conf?rences thus formed all the
I powers and privileges of annual onfor
