We announced some days since The settlement by com.
psomise Of the great Methodist Church case The terms
Of the settlement ate hcl YET aahorlavey made known,
but have satisfactory evidence TIA, the compromise
has been fair and equitable The imnediale Question
involved N this sast bad reference TO The title TO the
property OF the church. which had become complicated
with difficulty and doubt in consequence OF th- division
which took place in the Methodist Church several years
ago The termination OF the litigation and the adjust
ment OF The question Of title 10 the property, will be
learned with qualification 10 every portion OF the Union
But when II IL remembered that the question which
the church divided grew out OF the institution OF slavery
its amicabe adjustment will be hailed with pesuar
galifealon, mingled with The hope that the slavery is
ade may be banished from its organization, and that
union and raterna concord may again be restored TO
who have regarded the division of that church amongst
the most fearful Indications OF danger to federal
Union. When i, occurred il impressed more strongly
wha sense of dang er than all the ranlns madness
abolilonism. The fact that the litigation growing oat of
il has been amcably adjusted exces the hope that our
religious as well as political organizations may here
after be exempted from the disturbing influences OF that
dangerous element of strife and discodhe slavery ag
taton The influential members OF that powerful church
could give higher evidence Of their lofty patriotism
than they would do by following up the compromise OF
their lawsuit with cordial restoration OF their ancient
union and harmony. The country stands ready TO hail
such movement as the deahkne OF sectional agiia-
ton. Judge Mclean is already receiving the paudts
OF his couhtymeh for the patriotic as well as Christian
part he has borne in bringing about compromise

With what green eye does he look
out over the world How his hair

the dagger Of detraction, when he meets
one better than himself. How he grinds
his teeth when beauty stands beside his
deformity and his kiss is like serpent

| As Elections for Members CT Con-
gress, &c.. will be held during the en-
suing months in several States of the T.
Mon, the Board of Managers have dee
med it their duty to request the Judges
or Commissioners who may be appointed
| to take the ballots Of the voters, to put
iup boxes at the different localities where
elections viii be held, for the purpose Of
receiving such contributions as the adj
mirers Of the Illustrious Father of his
Country may think proper to deposit in
laid of the great Monument, now in
course of erection in this city to his me-
lmory.
They feel assured that when this no.
bic and patriotic purpose is presented to
the people, they will not hesitate to give
their mite for such an object and ii now
becomes more necessary, as the funds of
the society are rapidly diminishing and
may not soon be adequate TO carry on
the work. A small contribution from
each citizen or voter throughout the u
nited States, would be sufficient to com
plete the monuments "a work intended
to add to their glory as well as to honor
the memory of the Illustrious dead. A
half dime is but an inconsiderable sum,
and yet half dine contributed by eve
Try lnhabiiant Of our country, would rear
the grand structure, now in progress, to
its destined completion. 1t will be pit
Iiful, wondrous pitiful, if out Of twenty
five millions OF souls who inhabit this
great country, rendered independent,
prosperous and happy mainly by his ex-
'ertions and devotion TO It's cause, the sum
necessary to erect aMonmentwortll of
such man could not be completed for
the want of the small pecuniary aid
which every American should feel it his
pride, as we'll as his duty to afoad.
At the last Presidential election, the
plan of obtaining contributions at the
Polls, (thus testing the patriotism and
liberality of the voters and others was
attempted, though the previous arrange
mentS were not such as to insure very
full collection, the result was as satislac-
tory as could, under the circumstances,
have been expected.
1t is therefore desirable that this sys-
TEN should be continued in the different
States at all future elections of local or
general nature and the Board of Man
ayers indulge the hope that on this occa-
sion at the elections to be held in the re-
spective States of Maine, Vermont, Mas
sachusette, New York, New Jersey.
Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, South
Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, Ohio,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Louis

made in aid of the Monument, worthy
of the Countfymen of their illustrious
benetactor.

We Acknowledge The Corn.

Mr.. EDIroR: An intelligent farmer
living in the town of EIlenboro', wish
ing to put the so called discovery of
Professor Comstock to a practical test,
divided his cornfeld into too parts re
of which he "1erra- Cultured" and e
other he cultivated with plow and hoe in
the ordinary way. The former was Com
stocked most scrlpulously, which requi-
red much extra labor as the work Of ex-
ter lninating the weeds and grass, and
stirring the soil, had to be mostly done
with the fingers and hoe instead of the
plow special care being taken to keep
further from the plants as they increase
In height. According to The mathemat-
ical rule lrawr up by the learned Pro-
fessor h imself for the special benefit of
all corn stalks.
And what was the result ? the seed,
soil, and time of planting being the same.
1t was briefly this that portion of the
field worked in the usual manner pro-
duced 81 per cent. more corn than the
same one worked strictly after the plan
Of Mr.. Comsiock.
Any gentleman wishing further par
ticulars will be furnished with the name
of the aforesaid farmer who viii cheer
fully give the information required.
