A Conference, to meet in Louisville, in May next, to devise some plan of Compromise be tween the Conference of the Slave-holding States. This says the writer, was eminently wise and judicious, and still further commends the church to the confidence of our people, since it is plain no compromise whatever can tie made by the South between slavery and abolition none but what must inevit bly look to the overthrow of the former, and increase the imminent danger of the South. Delegates were appointed to the General Conference of tlie Southern Church, to meet in Louisville, Kentucky, on the first of May next.

He had been often 0e,ore in perils, by sea and land, but never " such imminent damrer of death in all the fourse of his life. To God's providential care he attributed his preservation.
