Caruthers.

I##W.F H#M. H"HWt /
the Office of governor of the State by a
convention held in this place on the
17tA Of June. He has allowed himself
to be thus presented before the nation
as the leader Of those in this State who
are struggling to destroy the govern
meDt Of the United States. Is he now
in lis right mind, or was he in 1850?
III the minutes of the Cumberland
Presbyterian Church for May 1850 We
find the following
"R. il. C~aruthers offered the follow
ng preamble and resolution, which was
almost unanimously adopted, viz;
Whereas, In the opinion of this assembly
the. preservation of the union of the States is
essential to the civil and religious liberty Of
the people. And it is regarded as proper and
comnendable in the church, and more parti-
cuiarly in the branch which we represent, Git
having had its origin as a denomination within
the limits Of the United States Of America,
and that soon after the blood Of our revolu-
tionary fathers had ceased to flow in that
UNEQUAL contest through which they were sue
c~essfully conducted by the strong arm Of Jeho-
yah, to express its devotion, on all suitable
occasions, to the government Of their choice ::
Therefore,
Resolved, That this general assembly
look with concern and Misrepresentation upon
attempts from any quarter to Dissolve
the Union, and would regard the success Of
any such movement as exceedingly hazardous

And this general assembly would strongly
recommend to all christians to make it a sub
iect Of prayer to Almighty God to avert from
our beloved country a catastrophy 50 diretnl
and disastrous"
Principles are un%altcrablc. Men may
change, but principles cannot, and ere
long we hope to see illustrated tho
axiom that
'Truth. crushed to earth vii! rise again."
We hope to see the eternal and un.
ehangeable principles of truth again
enthroned in the hearts OF Tennessee
ans-thcir treason returning tothem."
JAMES SLATER, Esq, late publisher Of
the Winchester Duly Bulletin and agent for
the q zE9ttia Insurance Company" of the Yam
kee city Of Hartford, who, in consequence of
the ainti-temperanee principles ofhis foreman,
was a little irregular in the issue Of his daily
during the month Of June, will be glad to
learn that his office is in q fine state of pres
ervation-that it is now occupied by sober in
dustrious printers, who are laboring to promote
the cause Of the good old Union Of which Mr..
Slater may have some faint recollections.
We are particularly happy in being able to
congratulate him on the fact that the stock of
ink and paper he Inadvertently left behind is
being used for other purposes than that OF aid
ing rebellion-that the articles composing this
issue of the Winchester Arnty Bulletin were
mostly written on the blank side of those Con-
fedcrate blanks he advertised ''for sale cheap
for cash"
We desire to give Mr.. SLATER a substantial
token OF our gratitude for the gratuitous use
Of his type, presses, stock and sanctum, and
If he will send US his address, we will make
him a dead-head on our books, sending him
regularly a copy Of our paper.
