MIR. EDITOR This morning, while pc
rusing your paper, was forcibly struck
with an article, published By request, about
the Rev. H. 4. Cook, which, from its tenor
and source, might lead many to the belief
that said Mr.. Cook was a Unitarian preach
er iu WeStbOrO, and US such came to this
place, and accepted the charge of Baptist
church, and, thereby, virtually changed his
views in reference 10 faith, or acted in bad
faith towards his church in our city, both of
which Installations are basely false; aud
your correspondent did know, or might
hayeknown, all the facts in reference there
to, and thus have saved himself the trouble
Of trying 10 influence this community
against the Rev. Mr.. Cook through your pa
per. Now, the facts are these The Rev.
II. A Cook did preach to the Cnitarians Of
Westboro, and was just as uncompromiSing
with them in principles as he has been with
our worthy's principles. Although our
worthy has had him at his own house most
OF the time during his residence here, and
now, forsooth, he cannot make him bend to
his one idea, he is trying to accomplish
through your paper that which lie has failed
to do by the church, to-wit: drive him off
and get one to suit his own notion. And as
an evidence that he maintained his standing,
he was called by this church while IL
censed preacher, and, concluding to accept,
he was ordained by a chosen council of reg
ular Baptist ministers, whose orthodoxy,
piety, sound discretion, and praise is found
in all the Baptist churches in our land.
Mr.. Editor, let me say that it will be
enough, | presume, for the public to know
that the said worthy had carried his person.
al considerations so far against the said Rev.
Mr.. Cook, before his church, as 10 be called
to order by the moderator and other mem
bers, and, refusing to comply, was. publicly
Kissed while speaking, and still persisted /;
and now hopes to succeed by poisoning the
minds of those not posted through your
paper. ...

EQUALIzATIoN BOARD or THE FIRST Dis
TRIcT--This board met says the CLARION,
at Princeton on Wednesday, and adjourned
on Friday morning, after an ardaous and
protracted session OF two days, spent in
waiting for absent members. The board is
composed OF the respective Auditors OF the
counties belonging TO the District, and the
object of the meeting was to equalize the
appraisement Of lands of the counties one
with the other, so rs to .equalize the burden
Of State taxation. This Board also designa-
tel one of their number (Nlr. Brett of Da-
viess county,, to 90 TO Indianapolis some
time in July, and be one of State Board of
Equalization to equaliZe the Congressional
Districts in like manner. The principle
here arrived at, however beautiful il may
be in theory, is impracticable, and as carried
out a great humbug and expense for nothing
The Board referred to as having been in ses-
sion on Wednesday, met, talked over the
matter, and concluded there was nothing to
do for want of knowledge, on the part OF
each with the other counties as TO the val
urs of real estate, and each expressing the
abstraction of their people with the appraise-
ment as originally made.

that hold that Congress has the power.
and it is the duty of that body to protect
the property of all our citizens. This pro-
lection can only be given in the Organiza-
ton of the territorial governments and an
extending the Constitution and laws over
the territory including the fugitive slave
law.
hold that Congress, rs the agent Of the
States has the power to transfer that agency
TO the people OF the territories, aud having
no other power over the property OF the cit
iLens of the territory herself than 90 protect
it, eau give no other; and that the terrific
rial governments can exercise nO power not
delegated, and is, therefore, bound TO extend
the same protection 10 property that Con-
eress would otherwise have done
Congress has no right TO hold the people
OF territory, after it is organized, as colo
nists, or deny them the right of self-goyern-
ment, and is, therefore, stopped from any
further legislation, except to aid the prosi-
dent to execute the laws in case OF rebellion
or domestic violence. | can conceive of ne
case where a STAKEHOLDER could be driven
out of territory or deprived of his slave
property where the laws of Congress eN-
tends over that territory are faithfully exc

MIR. EDITOR This morning, while pc
rusing your paper, | was forcibly struck
with an article. published By request, about
Arkansas true Democrat., 1859-10-05

THE ISLAND OF SAN JUAN.-That the difficulties on the Pacific coast are or threat en tobe serious, and this is the view taken by our government, is found in the fact that Gen. Scott, at the age of seventy three, is sent six thousand miles to take command of the small American force there
 The Governor (Douglas) of British Co lumbia is vastly pugnacious and has en- deavored to induce the British Admiral in that station to bring his fleet up. This the Admiral declined doing until he received orders from England. It is true as we learn from the English papers as reported, | that Palmerston sent such orders, but be- fore they can reach Victoria, Gen. Scott will be on the ground.
 There are nine companies of the U. S. troops on the island; comprising infantry and artillery.
 The Assembly of British Columbia talks furiously and urges Gov. Douglas " to en- force on the British government the neces. sity of demanding the evacuation of Sar Juan at all risks, and maintaining her right to the Archipelago Islands, clandestinely dishonorably and dishonesty invaded by the United States On the other hand l the Americans there assert the unquestion. able right of the U. $. to the island.
