Cluch at its late session in the State 'IfNew York, by a Usajority of its iemoers deeta ii "eipedient," to regard the plain statuary laws of soti of the States of this ctnfederacy, and the express provisions of the discipline of our-church,: 1. In that.-they confirmed the decision of the Bahirnioie atitinal conference, in the ease of Rev.1r. Harding :-by. which a minster ohtte gospel, .of irreproachable -moral character, was uurigheously de posed frris 66-official functions and useful ness, contrary thibe laws of God-of the church-and of the'laud: 2. In declaring, that "inasmuch as Bishop Andrew ' had -become connected withslavery/he should desibt from. the ex ercise of his office,so long as this 'impedi: ment remains ;" and contrary to all civil or ecclesiastical precedent-swithout due form of law-or ans charge of immorality, incapacity, or derellction of duty-contra - ry to the eloquent expostulations. unan swerable argu-nents. and solemn declara tions of the consequences, by the minority, did virtually suspend from office our be loved and favorite Bishop: 3. In that-theyrescinded the decision of a former General Conference, with re gard to "negro testimony :"-and whereas, it is manifest in the whole of their refpirted proceedings in the above cases, as well as in their'ultimate action in the premises, they were actuated by principles utterly irreconcilable to our interests as citizens of this State, and as members of the Al. E. Church in the South Carolina Confer ence; and whereas, furthermore, under the presout posture of alfairs.- it is high time for us to give a public and official ex pIession of our views with regard to these matters, therefore Resolved, 1st. That the spirit of aboli tionism, which contends that to be "con nccted with slavery" is not only "a great evil" "a moral evil"-but 'a disgraceful thing" disqualifying any one for office. acceptability and usefulness in the Church of God, is found to be fighting against God ;--in endeavoring to thwart his pur poses in the fulfilment ofprophecy ; which toreto'd that "Canaan," the descendant of' Ham, should be "a servant of servants to his brethren ;"-and impugning the recti tude-of the divina permission, wHich di rected Israel that in case their lebrew servants should refuse "to go away from them" on the year of release '-because be loveth thee and thy house-because he is well with thee-and shall plainly say I love my master, my wife and my children I will not go out free! his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall serve him forever !" This same spirit of abolitionism would have found it "espe dient" to declare that "inasmuch" as Abrahatit was "cdnnected iutth slanery," in that he had "three hundred and eighteen trainedseriants born in his own house." he should no longer be called "friend,of God," or "the father of us all," -so long as that impediment remained ;"-and, that the apostlePaul had no divine authority to permit Philemon, the master of Onesim-'s, either to become or renmain '-his dearly beloved and fellow laborer ;" and that he (Philemon.)i aught never to have been ad mitted into tie fellowship of the church or of ther apiostles nutit he had "freed himself porn this great elil." * gesolved, 2.

Fiom the Augusta Consittutionalist. - The following is anextract from one of the leitei-s of Bishop Audrew, written du ring A visit-he made last winter to Tefas. This extract ste publish at the request of a correspoddent; it is taken from the Christiar Advocate of July 19, 1844. The inference is strong tiat Bishop Andrew's feelings are in favor of the annexation of Texas to our-Uuion. And, now. patient reader, before I part with you, perhaps it may be well to answer some of the questions which are constantly propounded to me about Texas. It will be readily perceived, by those who have followed me in my wanderings through the public, that the time and circumstance or my visit were all unfavorable to making a very correct apinion of the country. The most of thecountry through which.l trav elled is faw, and was, at the time of my visit, almost entirely under water. The soil, too, I think, is mostly thin, though there are some splendid etceptions. A good deal of the couniry througr which I passed in Montgomery county was very pretty, and quite' productive. The coun try on the Trinity is said to be very fine, and the fertility of the Brassos antd Colora do bottoms is admitted on all hands. The country of the San Atronio is spoken of in high terms of praise by gentlemen who have visited it. And the concurrent tes timnony of all, both preachers and laymen., with whom I conversed on this subject settles it, beyond dispute, that there is an extensive tract of country west of the Col orado which possesses nimost every attri bute of a desirable, and first-rate country; land a.s rich aq heart could -wish, which may be obtained at twenty-five or fifty cents per acre :-the verdant prairies, which sweep around you almort illimita bly, covered with a luxuriant growth of Muskeet-grass, which aflords a never-fail ing pasture for just as many cattle and sheep and horses as a man may choose to possess . and this pasture just as green anti rich in winter as in summer. It is said, too, that the country is healthy, and that part of it which skirts the gulf af1rds very eligitle locations for all honest lovers of good fish and oysters, and the whole region abounds with deer. There is, however, little or nD timber, except about the streams: it must. therefore, have' a very inade~qate supply of this very inecessary article. Vpon the whole, I shtuld think Texas resembles, itt many respects. some of our south- western states, with, perhaps, a more agreeable climate.- The popula tion is mostly from the States. and is pretty much-such as we have bberr accustomed to meet int he new settlernents ofthuesouth west. I met, every where, a wartii-hear ted hospitality, and paid only one bill for lodging in all my route. The uniform res ponse, when I asked for my bill, was, -.be sure to call and stay with the, if ever you pass this way." At churcfi, so far as I had opportunity of observing, they are, decidedly, the best behaved people I have ever addressed from the pulpit. Wien I was there the subject of annexation was the theme oif universal dliroussion. And, I am sure, 1 did not meet five men' in all my route wvho did not go heartily for it. The Texans are btrave and patriotic,'and w ill do as much to maintain their libertj, as any other people of equal ability ;- but whether they would be able long to tesist the ar:6s of Mexico. when that poder shall be at liberty to apply her undi-fidled ener gies to the re conquest of Texas'. is a point, in my judgment, somewhat probldniatical. They might ga'in repdated battles, but what must be the issue of a protracted stugglo betdieen a population of little more titan one hundred thousatnd, and an other of eight milliotns 7 1 confess I should exceedingly regret, as ain Anmerican and a Protestant, should this important posItion fall again into the hands of Santa Anna And n ope Mr. Editor, permit me to hid a findry tarewell to you and those pa tient readers of your journal, who have followed me in mny late rapid j'ourneyitigs. If the hasty sketches of my travels,- which I thave furnished, may have contributed, in-any measutre to-their gratification or im' pr:>vcment, the writer will lie amply domn -pensated for thme trouble of writing theni, -Pask-the blessihg of God upon rmy r'ead~ eeirandrequiest that I niay have an affec tionate interest in theii- petitions at the throne af grace, JA MES -.

As respects Mexico and other powd~rs, which is our own main concern -in the question, it is currently reported, that the policy and line of our own qountry will be this. I, is thme purpose of our govern ment, it. brief, to offer our mediation be twesonfIsIlao and Texas to proctire Max. ico to rognize t he indepedendecof Texat upon thesinple condition, as regards Mexi co andTIexas, that Texas shall retain i indijgefdat existence, so as not to preclude Mexiceftoiai the righi or war if any future incorporation with America should be at temptad. The'only futghbr point here is and tjuis.:ideed is a moot important ne the ?aocepsace .by Mexico-of these terms, be accomrplilhed with our own guara-ntee that we 'should~ ea'rry it out ; that is, etn b'rce-ic-iu'he first instance-upon Texas i refused; end -secopdly, bindlsourselves te defend amd. masionin it if aceepted by Texas. Under present circumstances we are not- enabled to answer the question ir pointof fact ; our own opinion is that how ever politic it may be to .procure thi amicabile agreement hotween Mexico and Texasand thus to effect our. 'purpose bj rasnga diffitulty in the way -nearly in srounitable to the accomplishmnen~t ol sioexation at the present'thie, if we c d~tuce Mexio and.Texas to make this t~baween themselves,. still that il voiOt-beprudent -andspolitic forua Ic become -thrd arty~to this treaty-in thi way of a guarniadd to enforce and main tain it, since tlie'.immediate effect or sich .gnatanteemight be to oinvole4'us. in war vith 'theUnited States. In plain.and brief words. whatever we can .do by Degotia lion; and by raising, a fair and reasonable apprehension in the American governmd~t of the probably serious consequencea to the United States in pursuing this measure, let us do it. But let us not go so 'ar as to cominit ourselves. and for ah object . tiit worth the cost-aud perit, leome neele ly a party to an American *ar-Bell' (London) Weekly kessenger.

The Crops.-The prospects for ftne crops fere never more flattering in 'the upper Districts than at this time. In some neigh horhoodi, however, they have sufTered severely from drought, and immediately under the d'ountains, from too much rain. The Wheatecrop produced abundantly, and the highest price we have heard asked for that grain was 75 cents per bushel. Oats were seriously injured by dry wieather. but we shoulI suppose tief fully towo. thirds of the usual quantity b'as 6'en I 6'rvested in this Distrc!. The stanling erop of Corn generally looks well;t a'n'& as there is said to be a surplus of several th'odsajnd.barrels of last year's crop still on hand, t is now selling at 81 50 per barrel, in this'rnarket. Bacon is very dull sale at 5 to 7 cents .per lh. We may therefore truly say, 'ethia,is a land of plenty ;" and ours is undoubtedly the only country on-the globe, where the greatest compllaint of' the people is, that they have to'o much to oat-or rather, can' not" f'nd a market for their surplus provis sions.- Greenville Mountaincer.
