Tho Convention met pursuant to ad his nomination. A largo slaveholder discussion of questions of the highest Uoment, tho influeuco of such a press 10 pou the secular journals of tho country ill be marked and salutary. The infidelity, freo-loveism, which in some places have been lifting up their hydra 8i eads, will be shamed into obscurity and disgrace if properly confronted by tho lofty cachings of reason and Christianity. We would not cut a fibre that binds us to our brethren of other conferences, but would do all in our power to strengthen our position at home. The history of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Kansas, though brief, is eventful and full of interest.

It is high time we should "gather up theBe fragments that nothing be lost." It is expected that particular attention will be given to this sub-joct, especially by our Presiding Elders, and that the Messaokr will be tho depository of those memorials of tho past, Then, when tho future church historian, shall reach tho Kansas portion of his inquiry, our archives will afford him full and correct material for his work. We owe it to the church, and to. future generations to attend to this business promptly and faithfully. M. Sorghum.

We would be glad to record the num- bor of gallons manufactured in this county. Will the friends furnish the information! Send in a line though you have made but ten gallons. Persons living iu 9, It is unjust thus to rotax the means and energies of the peoplo to the extent of $30,000,00 to 50,000,000, to secure commercial facilities that they have already providod. By tho selection of any other routo, it would forco upon tho conn-try tho re-construction of their entire railway system, or doubling its extent of in ordor to reach tho great channel of con-tincntal commerce and transportation. Therefore, Resolved That it is tho deliberate judgment of this Convention, representing tho interests of Western Missouri and tho Territory of Kansas, that justice to the whole country, as woll as tho advantage of tho Goneral Government, requires and demands tho construction of tho Continental Railway by tho central or 39th parallel routo the route of tho Kansas Valley.

Resolved, That we call upon our representatives iu both Housos of Congress, to urgo tho location of said road upon this great central routo, as just to the country, in unison with the demands of tho great centers of population and commerce, and in a still farther development of tho commercial facilities already provided by tho people themselves. Ami Whereas, We deem it a fitting period in tho progress of the country, for tho peoplo of the West to take measures for the control of their own commerce, and to provide 1 Foi the opening up of routes to the seabinrdjf sborter and lcssi exposed to the obstructions of climato and distance. 2. That as our nearest Beaport, by present lines of transportation, is moro than 1,200 miles, Bubject to suspension by ice, snow, and tho traverse of long linos of rivers, lakes and railroads, and interrupted by numerous Interests controlled by competing corporations, that 2. Wo require a shorter route controlled by a community of interests, and 4.

They would bo provided with a chamber and small spring valve in the upper pail, opening outwards, and capable of resisting any ordinary pressure. Within this hollow space or chamber it is proposed to insert a slip of paper or card, or any other document, and even property, if made large enough, when all hope of safety ami rescue shall fail, and at tho final sinking tul.

Land entered on Time at the very lowest rates. mouth of tho Kansas river, running south to Galveston, in tho State of Texas, would add greatly to tho wealth and power of tho Union, by opening up to tho market of tho world the rich valleys of the Osage, Neosho, Arkansas and Red rivers, and of the great Stato of Texas, by affording an outlet to tho productions of this vast region, and a direct lino to supply our central region with tho groceries of the Gulf of Mexico.
