A PATRIOTIC SoUTHERNER.--Mr. Nelson, of
Tennessee, an American, made speech in
Congress, last week, in reply to the insane
ravlngs of Lamar, and other fire eating
Southerners, which was decidedly good,
coming from man living South Of Mason &
Dixon's line. He charged upon the Democ-
racy all the excitement and bad feeling now
existing in the land. eff the Republican
party" said he, sis now the greatest party in
this Union, you gentlemen have caused it to
swell to its present enormous proportions
Many of you desire the destruction of the
Union. You are laborins for it. You
ire-opened the slavery agitation by rending to
pieces the Missouri Compromise, and on your
heads be the consequences" Pryor, of Vir-
ginia, in the course of his speech, asked him
the question, Suppose Black Republican
should be elected President-for instance,
Seward - would you counsel submission ?
Would you not then advocate dissolution of
the Union ?'' With great deliberation, he
answered, eff ever W. II. Seward is elected
by majority of the electors, fairly and
according to the forms prescribed by law, l
would not only counsel acquiescence, but l
would resist and repel all attempts to dissolve
the Union. I should wait until the Repub-
licans should commit some overt act upon the
rights of the South. Irepeat that the election
ola Republican President, and the passing of
the government into their hands, would con-
stitute no sufficient reason for the South to
withdraw from the Confederacy. And let me
tell the gentleman from Virginia that not
even his own State would sustain him or the
fire-eaters in reasonable assault upon the
Confederacy, merely because the Republicans
elected a President. The patriotic sons of the
Old Dominion would unfurl the stars and
stripes, and under its folds they would crush
out the rebellion, and preserve the Union"

"Every instrument in writing effecting
the title of real estate, and intended as secur-
ity in the nature Of a mortgage, though it
be an absolute conveyance in terms, shall
be considered as mortgage"
If this be good law, and if the aforesaid
agreement to re-convey be good for anything,
it must necessarily destroy the absolute con-
veyance by proving it to be simply mort
gage. But even if this evidence were in.
admissibIe--if the grantor fail to pay the
debt for which the said absolute conveyance
was given as security-it is rather difficult
to perceive in what respect he would be
any worse off than he is now, for in either
case his property would be irredeemably
lost Uuder what probable contingency
would the alteration which we desire ope-
rate to his disadvantage :? Will s'Debtor"

Mr.. Branch coroborated what had been said on
this point by the gentleman from Virginia. having
been a member of the committee of conference on
that bill. He declared that The sole responsibility
of its defeat rested on Mr.. Grow, and believed his
object was to compel the President to call an extra
session of Congress- in order that he and his friends
might, at an earlier day than was allowed by law,
get possession of the organization of the House.
Mr.. Grow desired to reply; but other questions
interviewed, several motions having been made to
adjourn over, which, however, was subsequently
withdrawn.
There was a call of the House as preliminary to
voting for Speaker.
The twenty-frst vote was then taken, with the
following result:
Whole number of votes, 2O6-necessary to a
choice l04 Sherman Received 100; Bocock 90
Gmer II; Houston II; John G. Davis II; Maclay

So there was no choice.
On motion, the House adjourned.

No denomination of Christians in this country is
sounder on the question of slavery than the Prim-

they cling to the old landmarks and walk in the
old paths
The following reply Of the Rev. Burwell Temple,
Editor ofthe Primtice Baptist explains ITSELF tits
highly credtable to that venerable and patriotic man.
Dr. G. Baakee, Neso YORK.
DEAR SIR:-Your communication of Nov. 10th,
is at hand, and its contents duly considered. Your
proposals to for advertising for you relative to
ysur medical line of business may be of good intent
TO relieve the afflicted but deem it unnecessary
to apply for your medicines to the afflicted in
the South, when We are to be killed or threatened
with death after being reved for our adherence to
our Southern Rights, to wit-Slavery. very
large majority of the money sent and carried to the
North for newspapers, medicines, merchandise, &c,
is the product OF slave labor Many of the specula
tive craft of the North have made large fortunes off
Of fcabominable r' slave labor without the least re-
morse of conscience for traficing the product Of
said labor. Your factories would stand almost idle
were it not for the labor of Southern slavery; and
yet the people of the North threatening the soil
of Southern States with drinking the blood of their
owners! Such state of things, without reforma-
tion, must necessarily turn the attention of the
Southern people to the encouragement Of Southern
factories our own trade directly with Europe in
stead of the Northern part of our own Country and
instead of the patronization of Northern
We must entirely support those of the South alone.

contend for and advocate our Southern Constitution
al Rghts.) 1t is true, my paper has an extensive
circulation-from Maine to California little aid
from the Northern and Northwestern States; while
they have many subscribers to political and religious
papers printed there from the South If you dis
dain Southern prints, you, to be consistent should
dsdan Southern dollars-the product of slave labor
When there is better state of feeling manifested
toward us by our Northern brethren, nationally OF
sectonally then we may publish for you, and moi
before. B. TEMPLE, ED. P. B.

We copy from the Wilmington Journal the fol-
lowing account of an interesting scene which took
place the 17th instant, in the Methodist Episco-
pal Conference in session in Beaufort:
Rev. Mr.. Gloss presented to the Bishop, the
Rer. Mr.. Speight of the Methodist Protestant
Church. The Bishop presented him to the Confer
ence. He made an address, expressing the gatifca-
ton his church had felt at the appointment of Mr..
Gloss as friendly messenger and regretted that do
inestic atflicon had prevented Mr.. Gloss from at
tending. 1t might have broken the ice, if indeed
there be ice. He said he was devoted to the good
old Methodist character that he descended from
family which was among the first to welcome Me-
thodist preachers in North Carolina: that his little
church of about 1000 in North Carolina had kept
pure the earnest doctrines of Methodism; that as
body his church cherished warm feelings towards
the Methodist Episcopal Church; that they had no
war to wage against it, and hoped day of greater
close edrawing was at hand He closed feelingly.
The Bishop said, it is known that have been up
wards of 30 years in the ministry and never had
controversy with another church. His parents
were Baptsts, and he could but speak respectfully
against them-that he had long prayed that Ephrainl
might cease to envy Judah, and Judah to vex Eph-
rain. When your church, sir, sought to set up it's
organization, l granted its right, and thought it
should not be pursued. We have the same doc
trhes, and generally the same institutions and bid
you God-speed l am of that class of men who be-
ieve the Methodist Church has enough to do to take
care OF Its own business. l am glad to see you,
meet you with pleasure, as representing Of the
wings OF Gods great army.
heV MIR. Gloss said that at the last Conference he
was appointed to attend the Conference of the Me-
tnodst Protestant Conference, and he never had
nad ma charge in which he more delighted In the
Providence of God, was prevented from attending
and rendering our fraternal salutations. He bowed
TO that Providence He rejoiced that notwitbstand
ing his absence, the Methodist Protestant Church
had sent representative, and he hoped to see the
day when the two branches of the Methodist church
may be one" u"
