We call the particular attention Of our readers
to the piece in the first page of this sheet, signed

is not Minister of the Gospel in Delaware, in ia

not strictly correct, for there is one living in New

Judges in Delaware, who wears the mark of the

In the General Conference of the Methodist Epis.
copal Church, now in session, in Pittsburg, there
are 1877 members, including six Bishops. In that
highly respectable body of men, the last number of
the Crawford Messenger informs us that there are
but seue, in favour of General Jackson, and the re-

The lightning sent the bark ofthe hickory whirling

We discover great similarity between the wor
shippers of hickory poles, and those who worship
ped the golden calf under the Mosaic dspensation.
The latter accused Moses, Though the meekest of
men) with NAL administration in office, and as
suming powers where he had neither right nor capa-
city to exercise them; and requested Aaron, to
lead them back again to Egypt, to which he appeared
at first to listen, but finding himself detected BY
Moses, he equivocated and endeavoured to shift the
blame on the peaple. Just so with Jackson, after
having made his charges against the Administration
and finding himself unable to sustain them, he lug
ged in Buchanan and others to do what he could
not, and finally laid the blame on the people. As
their course was similar, so we find their object.
The worshippers of the calf, wished Aaron to lead
them back to Egypt the worshippers of Jackson
and hickory poles, wish to lead this happy people
back to barbarism, where no laws were acknowl-
edged but that of the club, or more recently the
bayonet or pistol, &c. &c.
