Excerpt from Wesleyan Conferences of England and Canada: Containing All the Official Proceedings of Both Bodies and Their Representatives, Down to October 28th, 1840; Including Also the Rev. E. Ryerson's Reply to the Rev. Messrs. Stinson and Richey's Pamphlet, Published by Request of the Conference One of the two letters addressed by Mr. E. Ryerson to the Governor General on the subject of the financial relations of the Conferences in England and Canada, was transmitted by His Excellency to the Secretary of State for the Colonies, in illustration of views stated at large in an accompanying despatch of his own. The Circumstances under which that letter was written not being known to the Secretary of State for the Colonies, a copy of it was sent to the Missionary Secretaries. A favourable Opportunity seemed now to present itself for them to put down the individual member of the Canada Conference who had in the fulfilment of his official relations and duties, opposed the principal obstacles to their views of poxitical and ecclesiastical power in Canada, and also for them to put forth these assumptions of power which they had hitherto attempted in vain to secure. Hence, instead of transmitting a copy of that letter to our Conference for investigation, and for explanation or condemnation, as the case might require, a few London Members of a Special Committee were called together, who adopted a series of Resolutions, containing assump tions of prerogative and power, accusations, and sentences of condemnation against the author of that letter, and calling Upon our Conference to carry them into execution on pain of a dissolution of the Union. Our Conference entered into a careful and thorough investigation of the whole matter; and whilst it maintained, in the most inoffensive and respectful language, its own rights and privileges, it more than disclaimed the slightest imputation upon the motives of the London Committee; and concluded its proceedings on the subject by appointing two of its own Members to proceed to England, to explain the whole matter, and to do all in their power to maintain the Articles of the Union inviolate.
