And in addition to the foregoing considera-

weight The expension and growth Of the ori.
ginal connection had made the ecclesiastical
machinery cumbersome in its working. The
di,ision of the Church into two Jurisdictions
! was measure judcious in itself, and desirable
for other reasons besides the slaveay agitation.
Had it been carried out by the North in n
friendly spirit, it would have given reliefto both
sections, and presented to the world one of the
noblest spectacles ever shown in the history OF
churches. As it is, the resources Of each sec-

The following article Of the Missi>sippiau
contains Il pregnant truth. In confirmation Of
the last part of it, we should remark that Mr..
Owens of Georgia has received the consulship
to Havana, and thus " the price Of the noble
and patriotic stand has been paid with cred.
table promptitude.
THE WAY DIVISIONS ARE CREATED
IN THE SOUTH.
We have often argued that it is useless for tI
friends of the South to postpone the adoption:
of measures of resistance to the oppression of
the Federal Government, with the view of Sc
curing unani,nity. 1t is idle to expect such re-
suit, when so many causes exist to prevent it.
Prominent among these, is the power which
the Federal Government possess of buying up
with Office, leading men in our own section.--
The doueeur il held out to corrupt aspiring
politicians, and they are sure by partizan ap-
peals to take with them to the support of the
powers that be sufficient number to create
the divisions which we SO much lament
AIhus the National Treasury which is sup.
piled to great extent by taxes upon Southern
labor, is used for the purpose Of producing dis.
cord in the South and rendering her powerless
in the hands of her oppressors.
Will delay remove this obstruction in the
path of resistances Will it destroy the glitter
of Federal gold or break the charm of Federal
offices Surely it will not. The nature of man
will remain the same, and the means of enticing
the depraved will but increase with each revolv.
ing year. ,.
Who knows the extent of the bribes that
were held out to the corrupt demagogues Of
both parties in Georgia, who deceived and mis-.
led the people OF that State9 The Washing
ton correspondent of the Louisville Courier
(Whig) openly announces that the President
to one Of them, the most lucrative
office in his gift The writer says:
"The consul ship at Havana, the most lucra.
tive consulate in the gift of the executive, has
been placed by him at the disposal of the dele
CATION from the State OF Georgia, provided they
present proper person tor it. This Of course
they will do, as there is, no doubt, as good ma.
terial for it IN that State as in any other of the
Union. The claims of Mr.. Langdon, the Wing
Mayor Of Mobile, were strongly urged by his
friends for this consulate; and, but for the
promise made by the President to the Georgia
delegation, there is no doubt but what he would
have received it. From the noble and patriot
ic stand, however. that Georgia took during the
recent slavery excitement, in which she resisted
South Carolina notification, and disunion, and
checked the headlong course of
secession; she was entitled not only to this,
but much moro at the hands of the General
Government"
