Missionary Church.--A plan is on loot
IN the state of Ohio to organize Chris
tao community for the purpose oi evan
gelizing some Of our Indian tribes, With
out the particular patronage OF mission
AIRY society. General rules to regulate
.the association, communicated by the Rev.
Joseph Badger, have been published In
lthe Religious IntelIigencer. The number
Eof families wanted will soon be engaged.
Several families have offered themselves
Efor this service; two pastors, two physi-
Clans, one clothier, aud four families lar
#mers. The greatest difficulty that now
appears in their way is that Of disposing
of landed property. Many more than
would be necessary for one missionary
station, would be ready to 60, If their
property was at command. They cslcu-

MIR. Meade, the American merchant,
who was treated with such singular injus-
tice and cruelty by the Spanish govern
ment, has finally obtained the recognition
of his claims. The effect seems TO have
been owing TO the revolution for though
Junia, TO whom his case was referred,
gave in their award the 30th Of September,
1919, the award was not ratified by the
King till the 2Ist Of May last !; aud we
believe Mr.. Meade had not been released
from the dungeon, in which an execrable
despotism had thrown him, till the revo-
luton gave him his liberty with other
victims. Mr.. Meade RECEIVERS not only
the whole sum claimed, but one hundred
thousand dollars damages, (Which the
Jmnta of honorable men lho't little enough,
amounting 10 all to S49l.l53 81 cents.
The following passages 10 the award, re-
cognizes both the justice of his claims,
and the important services he rendered
the Spanish government. 1t seems too
that others were involved in the case.
When the junta takes into considera-
ton the enormous amount furnished by
Mr.. Meade. in provisions, the Central
Junta and Government posterior thereto,
in those moments when they seemed as il
about to disappear, thus identifying bis
own ruin with that of nation to which

common justice. than admire aud be sur
Sprised at such liberal and generous con-
duct, and at the same time deeply regret
that his only recompense has been that of
being involved 10 difficulties, and finally
ruined: not by the armies of the usurper,
4 but by those very persons who profting
of the benefits obtained through these very
4 resources, the means of resisting the in-
] vasion, and of restoring his Majesty TO
the throne Of his ancestors.

Of contracts made with the Royal Depart
s ment of Finance, and has remained con.
6 WINGED Of the exact and religious compli-
ance with all of them, on the part OF Mr.
s Meade and of the delays, difficulties,
and repeated orders for payment on that Of
the government. The enormous mass of
millions which they amount to clearly
shows that the capital invested could not
/ belong to Mr.. Meade alone, but to many
other persons, capitalists, who placed in
his hands their property, invested 10 pro-
q visions.
That Mr.. Meade has facilitated gov
eminent more than fifty millions, in sundry
contracts Of provisions for the army, at a
period when no one else did or could do
1t, and when the very existence of the
government was the most pracarious, is
clearly demonstrated by the documents of
the department of finance, aud BY the same
il is equally proved that the greatest part
Of the contracts were not complied with,
except after great delays and detentions,
aud losses in the mode Of payment"

age swallowed mouthful Of the contents
of one Of The bottles, and soon after was
