[Wc have received the following froni tho Rev. Mr. Prati, whicli ive publish as an cxplanntion " of some remarks in n letter of fefev. Mr. Hall. We know nothing of the circumstances referred to; and presume no further controversy will le necessary.]Messrs. Eimtors: - Pièase indulge ma with a place in your paper, whilo I correct sotne false irnprcsions made in a communication pubiïshod in your paper of Sept 2nd signed by the Rev. EÃisha Hal). Firt, I would say ia reference to tho Ilesolytion that was negatived by me; [ stated in the Conference that the resolution was correct, and I now state thai; underother c:Ãx:Lirnstances, I should have voted the rosolution, but as it was presentofl ,y S man tvho is a füll belicver iri one man power, MMie piöfehw to be a Methodist Prot. Minister, who had gone hrough Lis circuit iry ing to disafiect tho members, and to cousunimate his design, had now come up to tho Quarterly Conrerence to test his success, which unfortunately for him, was nöt as great as hc had anticipated. The resolution in reference to the special cali of a general Conference I considered perfect lyfrivolous, as lts regular sessie n comes oneyeari rom iviay next. Eut 'úów to correct the impression: lie says the first' rcsolution was discussed,' Eider J. T. Pratt in the Chair, who declined to put the vote unÃil hiailf and others had occupied about two hours or more in disoussmg it: Now I I arn prepared to prove that I put tho qucstion as soon as the Conference was readyfur it: it is true, that the Rev. E. Hall himself, after bë had presented the res-ohuion, and spokc at length in its defeficè, and some few othera had spoken, wauted the question taken beforc tlie othV er mct;;Lcrs of Conference had e.pres.sed their opinión. One impresión more à uish to correct, where hesays no farther action wasiaken upon the subject aè; cml m&mbcj-s Icï't house, refusing to rémairi any Iongor. Wé had now closed the entire business of the Conference, and of course had uo occasion to remain longer. Wc closet v.-ith prayer as usual with a very harmonious state of fcelmg, ; I believe ihai the Rev. E. Hall himself' was the only man ihat ieft the Conference under a high state of excitement: bui hts statement in reference to others re.minded â of a story I heard when a boy about the oÃd squaw that got drunk and tiiought every body elso was. If the good brethreñ whero he haa goue can picase luÃa; tüoèq whpm he hat left wiü be sdtisfied. ïoura with respect,
