.yT The Syracuse star says, The Abolition
Convention which met in this city on Thursday,
resolved to raise $ 10000 to defray the expen-
scs of the trials Of the persons indicted at Buff
falo for the rescue of Jerry. This accords with
the statement made by Salmon of Oswego, on
his wav from Buffalo after his Indictment
Said Salmon in his peculiar off hand ,--.sthis
trial ant going to cost me nothing. The alb
olitionists in Syracuse are going TO raise money
to pay all the expense. Let her slide Who
cares? None of the money will come out Of
my pocket" And then Salmon chHckled huge
iy at the idea of his getting off so chcaply and
throwing all the cost upon the Fillbustiers.--
This Salmon is undoubtedly queer fish.

THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH SUIT
JUDGE NELSON'S DEcI.roN-The Christian
Advocate and Journal, in referring to the recent
decision of Judge Nelson, allowing the Methoa
dist Episcopal Church, South, and equal portion
of the proceeds fthc Book Concern of ~ York,
thus explains the extent to Which it is likely to
affect the recent relations of the two divisions
into which the church is unhappily divided
Some of our brethren of the press have al
ready reported that this is a final setHemem of
the casf, while others have gone so far as to con-
slider it as harbinger OF reunion of the two
churches, and as a means of consolidating the
union, and pledge for its perpetnity. The dis
position we have to give as wide scope as pos
sible to the joys and hopes of our fcllow-men,
eplbarrasses US not little in the duty which we
feel called upon to perform. Unpleasant as it
is to us, however, we must inform our good
| friends of Methodism and ''the Unon," that
their reioicincs are rather premature. The end
is not vet Only one Of the three suits, as yet,
has been decided either party will be entitled
to an appeal to the Supreme Court OF the Uni
ted States Those who stand as the defeated
party in the suit now decided, cannot be expect
ed to waive any legal right until the other cases
are disposed of and they shall be instructed by
the General Conference, WHICH VIII noiu us SEES
sion next May. Nothing will be done in haste
or without due consultation and advisement.
The decision will not materially affect the re
lation of the parties. They are brought nc
nearer together. There are deep moral cause,
at the foundation of the severance, which vii
remain fearfully active for long time TO come
The separation was not the result of "Northerr
f,naticism it was the consequence of "South

system as we received it from our fathers

objected to having slaveholding superntend

In the meantime we will he among the first t.

article, is a reliable exponent of the condition
Of reunion, the probabilities Of such even
are hardly within the range of remote posi-
biity.

Why DO WE BUY RAILROAD Iron OF ENG
LAND!-A question frequently asked, and UNI
versally by the Wing press, answered, because
we do not offer sufficient protection to the Iron
Manufacturer!
But that is not the reason. Under our pres
ent system of building railroads, you could
no put tariff on imported iron to enable rail-
road companies to purchase of American manu-
facturers Even aprohibitory tariff would not
do tit might stop the building of railroads, but
it could not enable manufacturers to sell the
Iron. Why?
Think moment reader! Most, if not all our
railroads are built on credit. Individual and coun-
ty and town subscriptions build the superstruc-
ture; and then the Company issues its bonds,
payable in ten, twelve and twenty years, as the
case may be, and with these bonds purchase the
iron. The iron manufacturers Of this country
cannot aford to gre this credit-the British
Manufacturers can-and hence the iron is pur
chased in England
Let American Companies take these railroad
bonds in exchange for their iron, and in one
year not pound will be imported from England.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

In the hurry incident to placing in type and
presenting to the public at the very earliest
moment, the message, we had no opportunity
Of scanning it, except as we read and corrected
the proof, and, therefore, were not prepared to
accompany the document in our extra with
any editorial comments. Since then we have
peruseG it with some care, and, although It con-
tains many important facts and valuable sug-
gestions, vet as State paper, it by no means
ranks above mediocrity, in its conceptions, con-
illusions, or the style of It's composition
It Is plain, common place review, of the
present condition of the country, and the pro-
minent topics which have filled the press and
aoitatcd the public mind, since the last meeting
of Congress.
We have review of the Cuban difficulty,
the Mexican revolution, the tariff policy, the
Mormon troubles, the financial condition OF
the government, our foreign intercourse, the
anti-slavery agitation, and many other subjects
of minor Importance. In discussing the Cuban
rebellion, a studied effort seems to be put forth
to pacify the public mind in this country and
abroad. While the message avoids the severity
of the proclaeation, it nevertheless justlfies by
its silence the punishment visited upon our
citizens by the Spanish authorities in Cuba,
and contains no word of rcproof for the inhu-
man Concha, who, after exercising towards
those citizens a summary vengeance unheard OF
in the annals of civilized nation, permitted
their lifelcss bodies to be shamelessy mutilated
by his unworthy subjects.
A modification of the present tariff is recon-.
xaended ostensibly for the benefit of the pro
Queer, but in fact for the benefit ofthe manuiac-
turer, to the prejudice of the producer. 1t is
proposed to abandon al ralOrem and substitute
specific duties, and a temporary depression in
the foreign produce market, is adduced as the
al. powerful incentive to this change.
This is but reproduction Of the old and
sften repudiated Wing doctrine upon protec-
ton.
The finances Of the government are in
prosperous condition. The receipts for the
last fiscal year amounted to ,979,S7,
which, with the amount in the treasury on the
ist Of July, 1850, afford us as available
means for the year, the sum of $oo,9l' ,o2l,36.
The total expenditures for the same period
were $4a.oo5, s78,6s.
Upon the prompt, faithful, and constant ad-
hcrence to the compromise, and especially that
portion Of it known as the Fugitive Slave Law,
which il so strongly recommended in the mes
sage, we cheerfully and heartily approve.
Duty, patriotism, philanthropy, and even
Christianity, calls for rigid adherence to this
all absorbing and vital principle. And, al
though II requires no great exercise of moral
Hrmness to meet this question, considering the
present state of public sentiment in the coun
try. vet we give Mr.. Fillmore much praise for
his bold and fervent acquiescence in the cem-
promise, and bis avowcd discrimination to fear
lessly administer the law in the case.
The message will form another chapter in
the political history Of this country.
