bishop Ames i'm the Missouri Lcgis-
lature.
A Jefferson City correspondent Of the
Missouri Demoeaf, under date of March
10th, says:
Immediately on the assembling Of the
Honse, Mr.. Hudgins introduced a resolution
giveing the use OF the ball to the Rev.
Bishop Ames. Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, Tor the purpose Of delivering
sermon to-day. II was csrried by vote
of &c ayes. "A noes. A couple Of hours
after this, Mr.. Davis, Of Buchanan county,
moved 10 reconsider this vote, which mo
ton prevailed, Several members arose then
and denounced Bishop Ames and the
church to which he belonged. in a manner
which told plainly enough that they knew
about as much concerning Northern Meth
odist as they did of the business for which
they were called together, aud that, it will
be admitted, is nothing. Mr.. Ament said
the Rev. gentleman was nothing but trav-
cling Abolitionest, although, When called
| for proof of his assertion, he had none to
give. and do not believe he ever heard OF
snch man until it was announced that he
would preach 10 this city. Some additional
remarks we'll calculated to disgrace the
State, by displaying the utter ignorance OF
the peoples representatives. were made,
touching the character of the Bishop and
the doctrines Of his church. Mr.. King, OF
Ray, said fall Northern Methodists were
Abolitionists, Daniel S. Dickinson of New
York, must be an Abolitionists. because
he belongs to that church. Mr.. barnes
said: eff he belongs to that church he
cant be National Democrat. Daniel s.
Dickinson is a member Of the Old School
Presbyterian Church, and believes that
God Almighty ordains slavery" Two OF
three hours were consumed in this way, for
which time the people of Missouri are com
PEELED to pay parcel of addle pates at the
rate of 5000 per hour. 1t it but due Ia
Bishop Ames TO state that the request fol

and he was not in the city at the time. A

On the 10th inst, two companies Of
Rangers under the command of Capt Ford,
and two companies Of U. s. Cavalry under
Capt. Stoneman, crossed the Rio Grande
into Mexico, in search of Cortinas, who
had retured to the frontiers. The troops
approached the Mexican eDcampment at
night, drove in their pickets and took 30
prisoners. who claimed that they belong
ed to a large of Mexican National Guards,
also in search of Cortinas.
The next morning large Mexican force
appeared and claimed the prisoners as q
part of their Guard. la.
1t was afterwards aseertained that these
forces had been watching the movements.

alarm. ttl

IFOr the ExpR vsa


Ma. EDIroR: Rotation is the democratic
rule in the distribution of all offices in the
gift Of the people, either Of honor or profit.
This rule, more fully carried out under the
administration Of Jackson than at any pre-.
vious time, has since been subscribed to
and adopted as principle of justice and
equity.
The sovereign people are to choose from
those willing to accept office-having due
regard to the Jeffersonian requisiton, hon.
esty and capability-who shall serve them
Especially does this hold good in Offices
sought after for the emoluments which they
afford. Much might. but little need be
said to enforce on the common mind the
equity Of this democratic principle. Hold.
ing the views indicated by the foregoing,
l trust that shall not be deemed egotisti-
cal, or detracting in the slightest degree
from the present most worthy incumbent,
in announcing myself candidate for the
office Of County Treasurer, subject to the
action Of an Opposition Convention. In
the decision Of such umpire shall most
freely acquiesce.
In conclusion, permit me TO add, not
urging claims TO the office superior to 9TH
ers who may be in the field, that I have
not resolved upon this step without due
and the advice and approba-
lion Of many friends.

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.

At regular meeting of Evening Star
Temple of Honor, No. so, held on Monday
evening, March Goth, the following, ex-
pressiye of the sentiments of the Temple
on the death of Bro. SAMUEL MILES, who
died at his residence in this city, on the
evening Of March Goth. 1860, were adopted:
WHEREAS, In the mysterious DEGREES of
the Eternal Throne, it has pleased God in
his wisdom TO remove by death our beloved
Brother, SAMUEL MILEs: and as it is always
proper for the living to perform some rite
as a testimonial to the virtues Of the hon.
ored dead, and more especially those with
whom fraternal relations exist, therefore
Resolped, That while it is our duty to
mourn with those that mourn, exercising
the benevolent impulses of our nature, and
drop sympathetic tear, in the exercise of
faith in an oyerruling Providence, to recog
nize in this affective bereavement the hand
of God, who "doeth all things well" and
does not willingly afilict the children of
men, it therefore becomes US to bow in
humble submission, and kiss the rod that
affiicts US.
ResOlued. That, in view of the fact that
Christianity shed its cheering light upon
the closing scenes of the life of our lament
ed Brother, we entertain a well grounded
hope that he has attained the crest which
remaineth for the people of God"
ResOloed, That the sympathies Of this
Temple be rendered to the bereaved family,
and as testimony of our esteem for eur de-
parted brother, and sympathy with the
afflicted friends, we tender the home circle
from which he has been removed copy OF
these resolutions, with the assurance that
We will ever hold in tender regard the
memory of him who has long been associa.
ted with US in the relation of brother, un-
der the most sacred bonds.
Resolued, That these resolutions be spread
upon the record, and copies furnished the
city papers for publication.

CHARLESTON HOSPITALITY. Many of the
Southern papers are denouncing, in justly
indignant terms, the system Of extortion
which is designed to be practiced at
Charleston during the sitting of the Con
vention in April.
The State Sentinel of yesterday gives the
HOspiiaJle Southrons dig under the fifth
rib, on the same subject.
The thing is contemptible-tro contemp
tible for even Southern Democrats. The
Sentinel suggests tn at the Indiana delega-

ting of the Convention, taking also their
own provisions. We second the motion,

AFFEcTIoNArE.--What a fondDess our
neighbor of the Journal has for the sterling
old Wings who are trying to organize a
third party. They were Federal Aristo-
Gratis, under British influence, some years
ago, in his estimation. Then about the
year 1854 they were Midnight Assassins, ("
ozark Lantern Gentry" "Plug Uglies,
"Proscriptive Know Nothings," and such
like. In 1856 they were Conservative"
National" etc, etc. They helped elect
Buchanan then. Now they are organizing
to help elect another of the same kidney,
aud the Journal man is already singing
peans in their praise Their Know Moth
ingis n is no where now.
Out on such hypocrisy and demagogue'
