He is a plain farmer of first-class sense

A Model " Conservative - Paper.

The Fon Du Lac (Wis.) Press claims
to be, and, we suppose, is, leading
conservative" paper. The following
is an extract from its editorial columns.
We call the article highly conserva-
tive'':
eve .have always regarded it as a
fixed fact, that sooner or later Jefferson
Davis would be released without being
brought to trial, unless, indeed, his cap
tors succeeded in their evident design
to murder him, by the slow torture OF
rigorous confinement to which he has
been subjected.
1t would be impossible to convict
him as traitor before any court, ex-
cept, indeed, u military commission,
composed of such creatures as the man
who pronounced the death sentence
upon Mrs. Surratt, whose memories
will be eXecrated through all coming
time.
Not only did Jefferson Davis commit
no act of treason, but we believe that
first, last and always his acts were gov
erned byImotives ofthe purest and most
disinterested patriotism. He betrayed
no sacred trust. lie made no effort to
elevate himself to positions of honor
and power, like selfish aspiring poll
ticinn; but of all the brilliant array of
Southern talent, eloquence and genius,
assembled in the Senate chamber at
Washington, he was the acknowledged
leader and superior of all. When the
people of the State he represented call
ed upon him as their representative, to
withdraw from Congress he promptly
responded and of all the SoutheI n
members who bowed their naughty
farewell to the Senate, he made the
most polished and courtly adieu.
At the time the government of the
Confederacy was formed, his vast ex-
perience and unequalled abilities as a
statesman, made him emphatically the
political leader of the South, while his
pleasing address and his intellectual
superiority over all the other disting-
uished men of the South, made him the
idol of the Southern people. He ac-
cepted the position of President, not
with any design of building up for
himself splendid fortune and endur-
ing fame, but because he was chosen to
fill that position by the unanimous
voice of eight millions of people, and
because he deemed it his sacred duty as
patriot to remain true to the South in
her hour of peril.

DrethoGIsn in the United states.

The Centennial anniversary of the
Introduction of Methodism into the
United States was appropriately cele-
brated last week by the reinterment, ut
Cambridge, Washington county, New
York, of the remains OF Philip Embury,
the founder of the Methodist Church
in this country. He commenced wor-
ship according to the Methodist forms
in 1850, at his own house, but estab-
lished the first church in 176G, in the
city of New York. From AAe small
beginning of the church and the local
preacher, Methodism has grown in n
century to such an extent that it now
numbers sixty conferences, six thous-
and eight hundred and twenty-one
intinerant and eight thousand two hun
dred and five local preachers, and its
'communicants are enumerated by hun
dreds of thousands. No other sect has
increased with such rapidity, a fact
which has by many been ascribed to
the theory that Methodism is in perfect
harmony with republican, institutions.
