LITTLE ANNIE.
A rosebud, bright and fair,
Blooms in the morning air;
But soon, meath scorching ray
OF hot and burning day,
Its pretty color palcsH
Its fair young beauty fades
Its mellow fragrance flies
And young in life it dies.
Where laughing silver rill,
With merry, merry trill,
Dances with joyous song
Mountain flowers among;
saw a lily fair.
A lily, white and fair
Bend its pale lips to KISS
The streams sparkling DrihA.
rso r,,do stream, with quick bound,
r"u,ht and dashed it down;
Then on fast bubbling spray,
Bore it far, far away!
While in its morn Of day,
To fade and then decay
To wiltcr meath the sun.
For its young life was done.
Like rose and lily fair,
Blithe young Annie dear.
In joys bright dawhing day
Has lightly passed away;
Upon high, dear Annie,
Unlike rose or lily,
Dove glittering starry train
She buds and blooms again.

Sd. Because this body, by refusing to dis
claim the intention Of endorsing one party at
Nashville, and condenniug the other, has, TO
all intents and purposes, endorsed one party
and r~cpudiatcd the other Of Il regular church.
This is seen in the fact. that of the old board, no
member belonging to the Spring Street Church
is placed on the new Board, nor is either mem
Der of the Cherry Street Church. not even the
pastor, but all the pastors and officers and man
ayers of the board, living in Nashville, belong
to the LIST Church. We respectfully submit
that this looks like prescription.
18th. Because this Convention has disregard
ed the action ofonc Of its constituent part>-thc
General Assembly Of Middle Tennessee and
North .Alabama-and also the action OF the late

| Churches of the Concord Association; thereby
virtually setting at naught the decisions Of

9TH. Because this Convention, in appointing
the Bible Board, composed AS it now is, has
come down from the high and impartial posi-
ton it should occupy, and is lending its mighty
influence to the promotion Of party aims and to
party purposes.
For these reasons we protest against the ac-
ton of this body in the appointment Of the BIZ
bic Board and Ask that our protest may be re-
corded"
The reading Of this protest by Mr.. Pendlc-

1t has been suggested, that the salary Of
the County Judge should be increased to
sufficient amount to enable him to live hon
cstly and honorably. The fact that his
salary is only -Four Hundred Dollars Il
year, and his duties are such as to preclude
his attending to other business, is prima
.tacie evidence in the minds of many, who
reason from cause to effect, that he must
steal, to keep soul and body together. The
above remarks are equally applicable to
other county officers with their present low
salaries. We are in favor of cettinS men to

The Bottom FaiIiu. Dat.

Under date Of Jan. 18th MIR. C. NICHOLS,
81 Mills County, writes a letter to n gentle
NAN OF an enquiring turn Of mind, at Burling-
ten, Iowa, giving some information in regard
- Quitting points on the Missouri River
which said letter is published in the Daily
Hack cyc. There is nothing very singular
in all this-othcr letters from this region
have been given to the public through the
same medium-but the said letter contains
some statements that are singular enough,
IN themselves, to evoke passing remark
At the commencement Of his letter, Mr.. n.
hns high opinion of the facilities Of his
town for Quitting miners, and roundly as
scrts that they ''are plcntifuily supplied with
horses, mules, oxen, wagons, and as good a
stock Of groceries and other Quitting goods
a. can be procured anywhere, and as reas on
able rates." That's all very we'll, Mr.. Fer
suson, but to get at the truth in the prcms-
esi is absolutely necessary, to read the
close of the cpistlc. Here is the conclusion
Ut the letter from which we quoted above
j, knocks the statement given above into a

Oregon and kansas,

These two territories are now knocking
at the doors of Congress for admission into
the sisterhood Of States, with the probabili-
ties Of success against them. Oregon has
a population Of about forty thousand, but
its constitution contains loose and obec-
tionablc features relative to citizenship. etc.
Kansas has a population somewhat larger
than that of Oregon, but because its inhnbi-
tants will not acquicsce in the Presidents
Interpretation of what constitutes the rights
Of territory, there is disp ostion on the
part of the dominant party in Congress to
postpone her admission, in accordance with
the provisions of the nefarious English Bill.
Fully cosnizant of this determination, on
the par, of ''the powers that be-" tho Re-
publicans in Congress, We believe, will use
every means to have Oregon keep her COM
pany in territorial vassa!age. If the Bach
aniers can get along without the Dred
Scottitc Senators and Representatives from
Oregon, we are sure the Republicans can
without the help of the champions Of Free
dom from Kansas.
