BROTHER WALLER: | attended the quarterly
meeting of the Free Church Association with tho
Baptist Church at Orland, Stuben Co., Ind, com.
menclng on the the 18th Of January, and romain-
ed with them until Tuesday evening. No other
delegate attended but MYSELF, but several svmno.
thizing brethren from some of the nejrbborinp
churches attended with us, and we had ouite nj
interesting meeting, [ was very kindly received by
Brother Speer, their pastor, and by tho church
generally. Daring my stay with them the Church
passed the following preamble and resolutions:
Whereas, We believe that holding connection
with ecclesiastical associations composed of, or
holding fellowship with slaveholdinr or FRO. slavery
churches, is actually acknowledging the right Of
oppression and Slavery, and whereas the Baptist
associations in this western country generally arc
either, directly or indirectly connected with Slave
ry, therefore
Resolved, That We dissolve all connection with
such bodies, and confne our fellowship or codi-
munion to individuals, such as bring to us the
qualifications required by the GOSPEL of Christ,
which is opposed to slavery and every other form
OF oppression or sin which the Gospel condemns.
and by virtue of this resolution, r~ecinding all
former resolutions on the subject of slavery"
THOMAS CRAVEN.
COLLEGE HILL, Feb. Is, 1856.
Now sir, you see from the above, how pro-sId.
very the Baptist Church of Orland is, and | would
have you understand that these resolutions were
not got up by this self'styled anti-slavery few, they
came from those they style the pro.slavery MAORI
ty and tho church still maintains the same ground.
Now MIR Editor, wish you to give this an in
sertion in the Bugle; as you have published some
thing to scandalize us l know you will as far as
you can undo the wrong.
Yours for the right,
SAMUEL McGOWEN.

Cyrus Fillmore was chairman Of the committee.

MIR. McGowen, as also the writer of the letter TO

Our Venerable Friend Jonathan Huddleston, Of
to the Bugle, SAYS:
l have a son vino went to Kansas and took pos
session Of some land, and was iaboring to raise
something to feed his family on. There came eight
men and took the boy off the beast las he was rid

harness away with them. Their only reason Civ
en- for so doing was, that government had need Of
them." They also took other beasts and things of
his neighbors on the same claim.
Again, two young men went to the territory,
from our State, perhaps to look for land TO settle
on They were soon met by men who demanded

The Tribune for 1857.

The Election is past, and its result proves
that the work devolved on the Republican
party is not yet completed. In all the East
ern and Northern portions of the country-in
N~ew-England, New York, Ohio and the North
West, the Republican banner floats in tri-
umph while in Southern Jersey, Pennsylva-
mia, Indiana and lllinois-in short, wherever
gTogshops more abound than schOol-houses
and where common schools are too new and
too feeble to have educated the present gem
Grafton of voters-the black flag Of Slavery
obstructs the sunshine. A stranger to Anne
RIGA might distinguish those portions of our
country most blessed with Education, %Intelli-
gence, Thrift and Virtue, by scanning the re-
turns of the Presidential contest of 1856. We
have failed of present success, not because
the People are against Us, but because that
large portion who did not hear or read the ar
gument, and do not know what were the real
questions at issue, went almost solid against
us, reversing the verdict which the great ma
iority of the educated and intelligent en-
deavored to pronounce.
These facts indicate the path Of pressing
duty. With no unmanly repinings over what
is irreyocable-with no abatement OF heart or
hope because the triumph of Liberty in her
new ordeal is not won at the Long Island and
White Plains Of her struggle-with no shadow
of regret that the responsibility of governing
is not confded to her champions before the
People were fully ready to sustain them-w'
begin afresh the work Of difusing that vita
truth which, in regard to the concerns Of thi'
world as well as of the next, makes Ere" in

E@5~ The Presidents Message, on ac-
count of the irregularity of the mails, has
not yet reached us. We think that the
Post Master General should inquire into
the causes of these delays, as they are
extremely annoying to our business men.
If a slight fall of snow visits us, or a cold
day, the mail does not make its appear
ance at all, but waits till the snow is gone
or a warm day comes, and even then one
half of the mail matter due does not come
to hand, as the arrangement was only
made for a small mail, nobody could for
a momen think that the contractors would
bring a large one, as it might injure the
very valuable stock employed on the diff
ferent routes leading to this point. w
do hope that the department will look to
this matter, or else our citizens will have
to petition to higher powers.

Awfully Sudden Death.

The New Orleans papers announce the
death of Judge JOHN c. LARUE, of that
city. The Picayune says:
"The manner of his death was awfully
sudden. His wife had been indisposed,
and he remained home to keep her COM
pany. He lay on a low sofa, quite well
and uncommonly cheerful. She r%eclined
along the floor, leaning on his shoulder,
his arm about her-the child on the sofa
playing with its father. Suddenly the
little girl asked abruptly, " Papa, what
makes your eyes roll so 2" and with a con-
~vulsive stretch he said 10 his wife, "My
darling, | am dying" Not unused to
spasms of illness, she answered, Don't
dear-don't brighten me So" A" tell YOU
he replied with an emphasis, 81 am dying"
She started to get restoratives; he said,
"No, n%olet me die in peace" when
his face recovered a smiling expression,
his limbs relaxed, and he breathed but
two or three times again. The shrieks
Of his wife and child alarmed the house
and neighborhood'; but all efforts of resu-
~sciation failed. From ~fullness of life to
torpid death the interval wus scarcely five
minutes.
Judge LARUE was a native of New
Jersey. He came out 10 New Orleans
about twenty-five or three years ago. and
was engaged for some time as tutor in a
family. He worked at one time as a
printer, and early connected himself with
the press in an editorial capacity"
