PnEsipESr's MESSAGE. We give
in this weeks paper the principal por-
ticn Of the Presidents Message which
relates to the existing difficulties be-
tween the States. The whole Message
is too lengthy for our columns. The
President recommends amendments to
the Constitution, and talks very patri-
oticslly. but suggests nothing which
in our Judgment will calm the storm.
The ultra men OF New England and
the East have sown the wind, and our
people are now compelled 10 share
with them The effects Of the whirswind,
81 which, we fear, the present hard
times il but the forrunncer. May the
Almighty grant unto our rulers and
Legislators wisdom, that they may de-
wise some means to preserve our hi:l,
crto much favored and happy country
from destruction and civil war.

Annual Meeting Of the Tunkera.

The annual meeting of the German Bap-
fist (Tunker) Church was held at the Lime.
stone Church, Washington county, Tennes-
see, on last Saturday, Sunday and Monday
week. The meeting was one Of the largest
which has ever been held in Washington
county The church was pretty generally
represented, there being delegates from Ma.
ryland, Virginia. Ohio, Illinois, Indiana.
Tennessee, North Carolina and Iowa This
part of the Valley, Kicking CHAM, Shenhn-
doah and Augusta, was we'll represented,
there being large number Of delegates pre-
sent from this region. The usual order Of
business was gone through with, and all
was commenced, continued. and concluded
in entire harmony and peace.
The delegates from every section reported
that peace pervaded the entire church, ana
that the past year had been one OF great
prosperity. In the West, especially, has
the church been making progress in mem
bers, and in influence.
Religious services were held daily during
the meeting. and the congregation favored
with most excellent preaching.
The next annual meeting is TO be held NJ
the Beaver Greek meeting house, near Otto
bine in this county.
1t is fact worthy of remark, that whilst
some other churches are made the arenas
for angry disputations upon various subjects,
and especially that Of slavery, our Tunser
friends meet and transact the business quiet
ly and tremendously, without ever SO much
as abiding to the peculiar institution"
with which, for reasons perfectly satislacto-
ry to themselves, they have nothing to do
They very wisely do not undertake to legs
late on the subject Of slavery. They let eve.
ry man settle the question rs to its proprety
With his conscience and his God. This IL
the only way to avoid difficulties in the
