February, 1851: ....... . "
when I consider his early associations

by this gnvernment-that he fought for
this government that he won h0nors
under the flag of this governmental
cannot understand how he can be willing
to hail another banner, and desert the one
Of his country, under which he won lau-
rels and received honOrs. This is mat
ter Of taste, however; but it seems to me
that. If could not unsheath my sword
in vindication Of the d.g Of my country.
and It's glorious stars and stripes, would
return the sword to its scabbard-I would
never sheath it in the bosom Of my moth.

CoNaREoArIoNAL.-T past week has
witnessed here the session Of the Oongre
gat,onal ministry Of the State; there were
few lay delegates present. We have no
formal report Of the proceedings and other
business prevented our attendance as re-.
porter. On Saturday morning we heard
an interesting debate on the platform Of
resolutions. Rev. Mr.. Magoun in the affir.
NATIVE and JAS. o. Crosby, Esq, in the
negative on one resolution. We think Mr..
Crosby worsted his distinguished opponent
very decidedly. The changing or amend
ing the resolution was proof Of Cros
by's success. Mr.. G. was very happy in
bis points and but for the place and the
character of the as>emblage he would have
brought the house down very frequently.
Next week we will probably publish the
rese.u lions in full. Great sympathy was
expressed for the freedmen" and the
Church was squarely committed to negro
suffrage. On Saturday p NJ. Capt. Bisbee
gave the whole body of ministers, their
wives and friends, free ride on the Ala
'nakee to the pictured rocks. The party
enjoyed it very much.
