For the Van Buren, Press:

Ma. EDITOR There seems to be an in
clination on the part Of the Episcopal press
to make capital out Of the fact that Meth
odist congregation in the city of Louisville,
KY. went in body over to the Episcopa-
lians. taking with them all the church prop
erty. The Importance attached to this fact
by our Episcopal friends. may create some
apprehensions in the minds of Methodists
in this portion Of the country. that Meth
odism has suffered thereby. Under the cir
cumstances. l deem it but justice to them
( the Methodists) to give a brief history of
that congregation. to show there is nothing
surprising in their recent action. About
nine or ten years ago (I do not recollect
precisely the dates and fgures) DR.. Sehon
came to Louisville. AID was appointed to
4th charge. which. at that time. had q
large membership, ani which was soon in
creased by his great popularity as preach
er. During his two years. service at 4lst,
some dissensions arose among the members
OF the church, and, toward tho close Of the
term. the dissatisfied ones Withdrew. and
formed new society. They purchased q
lot on the corner Of 81 and Guthria-s
and built . lecture room for temporary use.
until larger church should be built. l
am informed that when Dr. Sehon's time
expired At 4ht. he was requested by tho
new society. to become their stationed
preacher. and withdraw from the Confer.
enee. which he refused to do. The Confer.
encs. however. appointed him to that
charge. where he preached successfully for
two years. In the mean time. the church.
sdi6ce was being completed. aud, in honor
OF the Dr.. was called Sehon Chapel !: Il il
. neat and comfortable building, and win
seat upwards Of 300 persons comfortably.
They made it what is called q pew church
raising the church revenues BY renting the
pews. The membership Of the church !. -
never large. and they were never free from
pecuniary embarrassment. About fonr
years ago. on the refusal of Bishop Early
70 return. for another year. Rev. Geo. W

TIE SPEAkINa FRIDAY NIGHr-Last
Friday night large and respectable num-
Der assembled at the State House to hear
Mr.. London speak on federal politics.
Amid applause he took the speakers stand,
and after few preliminary remarks. took
for the basis of his argument the grounds
occupied by Col. Fellows on last Wednes-
day night. to-wit That NO State had the
right to secede. And ID. If the right ex-
listed there was at present no Just cause for
the exercise of that. He argued that the
federal constitution was erected on the ba-
sis of those inalienable rights which the
people of the several State derive in COM
mon with all mankind. That it was FORM
ed On the republican principle of represen-
tation. in due regard to which the powers
of government were separately delegated
and properly distributed to the Legislative,
executive and judicial dspartments-each
being equally the representatives of the
people. That all the powers requisite to
secure the objects Of the national Union are
vested in tie general government. That
the national government. though limited in
its powers to national objects. is supreme in
the exercise of those powers. And that
therefore, no State authority has the power
to dissolve the relations existing between
the government of the United States and
the people of the several States-And con-
sequently, that no state has . right to 90.
