which the procession marched, at an
carly hour in the morning, under a So.

crowns and pruning hooks were distri-
buted as prizes to various individuals
previously designated to receive them.
After this ceremony, the various corps
sung their respective songs and exhibit.

to sign the order, Gen. Jackson would
have removed him, and appointed some

in his frantic war upon Bank that had
opposed his election, if he had been
obliged to take q stone breaker from
Pennsylvania Avenue, to serve as tenn

And yet there are editors holding
respectable stations in society, and clas-

"A decision OF Importance has been made,
IN the State of Alabama, in regard to State
jurisdiction, over the Indians within its lin
its. A Cherokee Indian was indicted for
murder, before the circuit court of the coun-
ty of St. CLAIR, and when arraigned, his
counsel filed a plea TO the jurisdiction and
maintained in support of the plea, two
points: 1st, That the State of Alabama has
no right to extend its jurisdiction over the
Indian nations within its chartered limits
and End, conceding the right, the act of the
legislature did not embrace the case under
consideration.
The court sustained the plea, and dis
charged the prisoner, upon the grounds that
Alabama had become member of the I'M
ION, with full knowledge of the treaties sub
ssing between the United States and the
Cherokees, and that those treaties, having
guaranteed the soil and the jurisdiction to
the Indians the State had no right to either.

The Illinois Annual Conference, to the
Members of the Methodist Episcopal
: Church in Illinois, greeting:
DEAR BRETHREN:

LEAN BRETHREN:
We have been appointed by the Illinois
Annual Conference, a committee, to ad.
dress you on the important and holy in
terests of our church.
We live in a new and fourishing state.
rapidly increasing in population, and
which must, for various reasons, not ne.
cessary in such an address to be mention
ed, sustain most important rank among
the other states of this free and happy I'm
ion.
While such a diversity of character and
religious principles, is constantly flowing
into the state, you will at once perceive
how highly important it is, to the interests
of the Methodist E. Church, not only.
that our doctrines and discipline should be
generally known; but, that we, ourselves,
should distinctly and fully understand,
zealously espouse, and practically main
tain all the pecuharities of The church,
Among these, we would alfectionately re-
commend to your attention, class-neeiings
and love.feasts.
In our GENERAL RULES, which should
be read by your preachers, ''once quar-
ter in every society,"" you will find that
seach society is, Tor should be,) divided
into smaller companies, called classes. ac-
cerding to their respective places of a.

should be about twelve persons iu class
one of whom is styled The leader." The
important and responsible duties of the
leader in relation, st. to ''each person in
his class, and 2dly. to ''the ministers and
stewards of the society,"" are likewise spe-
cited. We would also recommend to
you the necessity and advantages of such
division in all your societies, which have
twenty five or more members. Without
it. however sound in judgment, and tru.
ly devoted to God, your leaders may be
