Of Barrett. He has dwelt in cave,the work

which may be offered him, the fruits of the
earth, that grow spontaneously in the woods
around him being his only food; water from
the limpid stream his only drink. Siace his
retirement from the world he has copied the

We find in the Georgia papers recei-
we'd yesterday, the following correspon.
dence between the Secretary OF War
and Governor Troup, relative TO the
fixing of the boundary line between
Georgia and Alabama. The Milledge-
vile Journal in'imates that as there has
been no desire on the part of the au;ho-
rites OF Georgia, to push matters 10

the disposition now manifested on the
part of the United States continue, "all
difficulties may be satisfactorily adjus-
ted We are gratihed to see this

dication that the authorities, as well as
the editors OF Georgia, are sincerely

and concilating tone, to remove the
injurious impression which different

SIR: Governor Murphy having address
sed me on the subject of ascertaining
the boundary line between Georgia and
Alabama, think it due to you, from a
previous respondence had with the
Delegation of Georgia in The Senate,
as well as with yourself, as also from
the equal interest which Georgia has in
measure, to furnish you with copy of
my reply, which is here with enclo-
sed.

SIR. | have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt ION Yesterday of your com
munication dated the 10th March, COW
ering the resolution Of the Legislature
of Alabama, authorizing you to appoint
COMMISSIONER. 10 ascertain the boun-
Diary line between Alabama and Geor-
gia.
In reply, il gives me pleasure to COM
municate to you that the President is
gratified that measure SO desirable to
two States as that of fixing their boun-
Diary may be carried into effect without
objection or difficulty lat least on the
part of the United States. No proyi-
sion, however, having been made by
Congress for the appointment of a Com
missioner, or any money appropriated
TO meet the expenses Of such an appoint
ment, the President does not feel him
self authorized to make the appoints
ment And he would fain hope that
this sabject may be equitabiy and salts
factorily adjusted by the two States
without the interposition of the Govern
ment of the United states. Should,
however, the difficulties to which you
refer, as probably, really occur, and
continue insurmountable, on their be-
ing communicated to the Department,
the President would feel himself bound
to refer the suDjectto Congress, who
would decide whether it WAS case re-
curing their interference.

MARYLAND CONVENTION.

At convention of members of the Method
ist Episcopal Church favorable to reform in its
government, held for Maryland and the Dis
uict Of Columbia, in the city of Baltimore, on
the 5th and 10th November, 1926, the follow
ing preamble and resolutions were unanimous
Fly passed.
Whereas the lay members and local preach
ers of the Methodist Episcopal church, are de-
pri,ed of representation in the general confer
ence, the legislative department of the church,
and are governed by laws, in the enactment Of
which they are not permitted to participates; &
whereas, the itinerant ministers have assum-
ed to themselves, exclusively, the Legislative
power in and over the said church, and whereas
a rule exists in the book of discipline; which has
been so construed by some of the itinerant
preachers, having charge of Circuils, as 10 pre-
vent the members and local preachers from ex-
ercising the right Of discussing the principles
and measures of the government under the
penalty of accommodation; and under this
construction members have actually been ex-
PEELED from the church. Therefore,
Resoiued, first, That in the opinion Of this
Convention, 10 deprive the members or any
part Of the ministers, of representation in the
aking department Of the church TO which
they belong, is contrary to sound policy, and TO
the sacred principles Of religious liberty; Just
in its nature, and dangerous and degrading in
its tendency, inasmuch as it deprives them Of the
right OF suffrage, so indispensable 10 the dignity
and well being of christian community.
ResoiUed, secondly, That the itinerant minis
try, ofthe Methodist Episcopal Church, in max
ing laws for the !aity and the local preachers,
without their voice and concurrence, exercise
power, not warranted by the scriptures, nor the
usages of the Christian Church for the first
three hundred years after Christ; and which is
an exercise of power contrary 10 that sound
maxim, which teaches US that no community
should be governed by any human laws, in the
enactment Of which they have no share.
ResolUed, thirdly, That in consequence of the
fact that the rule in the discipline, respecting
"inveighDg against the discipline with an in
tention TO sow dissentions In our societies."
has been so construed, as to operate agains;
the freedom Of speech, and of the press; and
that under this construction, certain members
Of our church have been expelled, for no other
cause than that Of attempting to extend the
principle Of representation, dangerous prece-
dent Of ministerial authority, has been SET
which calls for every lawful means in order to
have it disc nantenanced by the members and
ministers of The Methodist Episcopal church,
and at the least for an expression of their dis
appreciation of such high handed measures, and
of their sympathy for all such expelled mem
bers.
RESOLVED, fourihky, Tha, this Convention are
July apprised of the reports which have gone
into circulation, respecting the motives and In
tenuons OF reformers; and therefore consider

One ofthe most insidious blows that was aim

members of that Committee in the design, then
palpably betrayed, through the Telegraph, at
the seat Of government, the Enquire" of Rich
mond, and the National Gazette Of this city, to
dscredit the gentleman whom Mr.. Adams had
placed at the head of the Exchequer. He, how
ever, fearlessly nailed his flag to the mast of
the American Policy, against which unfortu-
nately too many Americans are in state Of
fragrant hostility The whole anti-manufac,u-
ring interest opened its batteries upon him.
This was to have been expected.
But was it not also 10 have been expected
that Pennsylvania, State uniformly and tho
roughly imbued with the American policy,
would have found in the members of her dele
cation in Congress, advocates and defenders Of
their own fellow statesman asserting their own
principles? Would it be believed that the del
egation Of Pennsylvania furnished reinforce
ments to the assailants, who not daring to Join
openly in the hue and cry, clandestnely contri-
buled to it. Would General Jackson, whose
cause is the cloak for such sapping factions,
