Farewell to our Pastor whom dearly we love,
The Conference-year closes, and soon he must
move,-
What thrilling emotions pervade ev'ry heart,
When those whom we love are about to depart
Goop, thou young soldier, go preach to all lands
The Rock is Christ Jesus, on which the Church
stands.
MOI on the Apostle whose name is Petros,-
The Church is still firm on The Great D Logos.
Though enemies many the Church may assaiI,
Tacir onsllughts, though heinous, will never
prevail;
Old Ant-Christ followers. demons of hell,
Are acting their part, as the Scriptures foretell
L,rd, hasten the time when the darkness shall
flee,
Y, Christ, the Great Shepherd. shall bow ev'ry
knee
May all in the Church with one heart and one
mind
b. faithful to God, and to good wsrks inclined.
And now, to our Pastor, once more would say,
That many are here who will e'er bless the day
That thou ia thy fervor hast taught them the
TRUTH
Aud led them to God in the daysof their youth.

The reports Ofthe examining committees which

veIoping its remarkable agricultural resources.
A noticeable feature in the information they
give IS the number and extent oftheir vineyards.
In two plains near San Angeles are planted enc

article, and bears higher price in the market
than the imported article. California is now
the ninth State in the quantity of wheat she
produces, and raises annually a very large
amount OF stock. The President in his address
at the Fair, said: .. 49,, r., .I.I

A Passing Thought.
NAICIssA.
BY MARTHA HAINEs BUTT.

The church door opened. A tall, stately
locking man entered. He was man of wealth.
nan whose name was everywhere knOwr.-
lie had figured in the Senate every one seem
ed 10 feel his presence. Yes, the Hon. James
Caater, of C., was a very great somebody
so all the world thought; and what all the
world thinks must be so.
Scarcely had the honorable gentleman en-
tered the door, ere some half dozen left their
pews entirely, for the purpose Of offering him
a seat, at the risk, too, of making themselves
uncomfortable! Oh, yes; it was rather a
pleasure to be made uncomfortable for the pur-
pose Of giving that " big man seat. To be
sure, they wished him all respect possible--he
was both rich and great, you know. 1t would
net have been much amiss in the eyes of the
congregation, for the minister himself TO have
offered him one in the pulpit. Being seated,
: all eyes are directed towards him, of course /;
for he was great sight, and no wonder, then,
that they should gaze on him. With what a
polite air do they hand him their prayer-bOOks; {;
ahqlher and another is presented,--some would
be extremely happy to offer their heads if they
COULD get it off their shoulders.
-. a. H. r.
The door opens again. Now, poor lad en-
teri, leading by the hand an old man whose
clothes ptainly tell that he knows too well pow
erty, that Fortune smiles not on him. He walks
up and down the aises, but no one appears to
see them. What poor lad like that, with
such a decrepid old man, expect to find seat
in great church like that. where nobody was
noticed unless he happened to have fine clothes
Thank Heaven, one door is open > there is al
least one feeling heart who considers poverty
no disgrace, and thinks as much of the poor al
the "rist" did of that great man. Verify

Messrs. HARRIS, SINS, MOORE, and ROBERTS:
Your letter was this day received, informing me
that the convention that assembled at MurfreesbOro
on the 9th inst had nominated me as their candidate
for Congress in the 9TH district. We have just come
out of great political battle involving the harmony
and stability of our government. This battle was
fought on the one side by powerful sectional party,
the Black Republican party of the North-and upon
the other by the Democratic and old line Wing par
ties Of the Unon-the one making war upon the
Constitution and aggressing upon the equal rights Of
States: while the other rallied its forces in every
State of the Union for the Constitution as it is and
the enforcement of all its provisions This sectional
party although it was overthrow in the last Presi-
Dental election, is neither disbanded or dscour-
ooed but will continue its war upon the rights of
the states. It is a matter of the first Importance
to the country that Mr.. Buchanan should be sus-
tanned by tae House of Representatives. 1t is now
controlled by an unpatriotic majority Of Black Re-
publicans-a party which endeayOred to force upon
the country its abolition measures, by refusing to
vote the usual supplies necessary to carry on the
government.
Although I encounter sacrifices and private incon-
yeniences yield to the wishes of the great party
you represent, and shall Immediately take the field.
Accept of my best wishes.
Your friend 10. C. GUILD.

Distribution AND ABOLITION.


Il should be borne constantly in mind that there
are two parties in the country who contend that
Congress has power to divide out the proceeds ofthe
public lands among the several States. Whilst the
Know Nothings are contendihg that it may be done
for the purpose ofmeeting the liability Of the States
incurred in building rail roads and otherwise, the
AboHtionists contend that they should be Sod and
the proceeds applied to berating the negroes. This
is the plan SO forciby presented by Bishop Hopkins
in a work from which we have recently quoted. Is
the South, by agreeing with the Distributionists
willing to concede to Congress power that Adolf
tionism would make practical application Of should
they ever secure majority in Congress? Know
Nothingism may endeavor to avoid thefOrce Of such
an argument by scofing at it, but that will not
change the stubborn facts starring them in the face
It is circumstance worthy of reflection that Abo-
litionism and Know NOthingism while claiming to
be working for different purposes, adopt, almost in
variably the same measures and half the time, are
led on by the same man.
The people will not forget that nearly every AbO-
litionist in the last Congress was elected as hHO
Notling-Banks, the Speaker, included. The peo-
pie could not forget that in the last Presden-
tial election the Know NOthings and Black Repub-
oans in some States got up joint ELECTORAL ticket,
for which they both voted. The people will not for
get that they both opposedt the Kansas bl-both de-
nounced the Democrats for repudiating the Missouri
c0mpromise-and are both new denouncing that
same party for "agitating the slavery question"
There is fitness in these things that the people Of
Tennessee now understand and win not overlook.

NJ The Know Nothing paper at Somerville, in
noticing the debate between the candidates for Gov

labor Of last year"
That's enough. We are wiling to leave the con-
lusion as to the result to the decision Of the hon.
