Our enterprising townsmen Messrs. Stroud,

preparations for the erection of a large Flour

OCT We would suggest to the County Com
missioners the propriety of paving in front of
the Court House. It could be done cheaply,
with either flatr stone or brick. We are sure
that no citizen of the county who was here
during last term of Court, would object to
paying his quota of the expense, in compass
ing so desirable an object Judges, Lawyers

In his opening address, he said the Conven
tion was called to consider the propriety .of
memorializing the General Conference to so
alter the constitution of the Church as to pro
vide for a lay representation in the law ma
king bodies of the Church. Whether such
representation should be'extended both to the
general and the annual conferences, was a
question also before the Convention. Here

Forty-one churches were represented, in

Ohio, and Delaware.
The Committee on resolutions reported a
series providing for the carrying out of the ob
ject of the Convention, prefaced by a pream
ble setting forth the reasons for the proposed
change, the chief of which is that it would
render the government of the M. E. Church
like that of all other Protestent churches, and
promote a greater degree of harmony, satis
faction, and prosperity in the Church.

of his own beloved coun

exaction too rigorous for the energies of j
his powerful mind. No question of national j
policy was so intricate, and no point in the ,
range of diplomacy was so abstruse that he J
could not conquer by the force of his genius
and penetrate by his wondrous sagacity. - In
debate he has ever been a bold, courteous and
honorable opponent, and never has he shown
so brightly aB when we have seen him in the
Senate chamber, encountering the profundity
of knowledge, and grappling with the wis
dom of age; always contending on elevated
and honorable ground, never stooping to the
petulency of invective, save to rebuke the
malignity of insult or annihilate the presump
tion of ignorance. The paramount object of
his heart has been to secure the happiness,
the prosperity and honor of his country, and
the safety and permanence of her glorious in
stitutions. Nobly, faithfully, devotedly has
he served her. Time, talent, fortune, all,
have been offered at her shrine. Well might
he exclaim in the language of Fabricius, the
Roman statesman, " always attentive to dis
charge the duties encumbent upon me. I
have a mind free from self-reproach ; I have
an honest fame."

fifteen years, and of his little son, aged three

During the last five months over 85,000 ca

many, previously hostile to a change of the
well-working tariff of '42, acquiesced in the
change, under false representations of its
friends. For a time the glowing predictions
of Walker & Co. seemed likely to be fulfil
led. Famine favored them, and secured' a
demand for our breadstuffs which was quite
overwhelming. The following table shows the
value of ex'ports for the several years named :
1846-7 - - - 27,000,000
1847- 8 - - 19,500,010
1848- 9 - .- - 23,700,000
1849- 50 - - 12,200,000
1850- 51 - - - 8,100,000
It will be seen that with the famine years
the usual demand ceased-; and that now our
exports are nearly down to the average stan
dard of previous years.
The truth is, that however excessive our
imports may be, Great Brittain will only take
our breadstuffs in exchange on compulsion.

Congress will reject the Tehauntepec treaty
by a nearly unanimous vole. Mr. Webster
has declared it "must be ratified as an act of
justice to the United States, and its rejection
will doubtless lead to a crisis.

remarked them, he determined to address the
lad', as if they had casually met, and thus
quiet the apprehensions his spouse might en

To Expel Rats. A country paper says
that rats may be expelled from your cellars
and granaries simply by scattering a few stalks
and leaves of mullen in their paths. There
is something very annoying in this plant to
the rat. It affords, therefore, a very easy
remedy for a most perplexing evil, and much
more economical and less troublesome than
gunpowder, rat exterminator," cats, or traps.

Ma. Allan N. Wilson, editor of the Som
erset Whig, died on Thursday, the2Gth ult.,
in the 47th year of his age. Mr. Wilson,
was a native of Trenton, the eldest son of
James J Wilson, the distinguished editor of
the old True American, and leader of the
old Democratic party in New-Jersey. After
the death of his father, Mr. Allan N. Wilson
was for a short time the editor of the True
American, and was afterwards connected
with the Neib-Jerscy Union, then the organ
of the Whig party in this city. He was af
terwards editor of the Belvidere Apollo, but
has been for some few years the editor of the
Somerset, Whig.
Mr. W. was a man of much intelligene,
and a keen and polished writer. He had
high-toned political principles, and a very
lively sense of what was honerable in the
conduct of public affairs. He, there
fore, was quite distinguished for the zeal with
which he assailed whatever he deemed cor
rupt in politics, no less than for the keen sar
casm with which he exposed it to public con
demnation. He was a warm friend and a
true man For many years he has suffered
much from severe disease, which has often
entirely disabled him.
Mr. W. had many old friends in this city,
who will sincerely lament his death. Tren

History set right. Henry Clay, in a
card to the press, denies that he was the
writer of the spceoh made by Lafayette
in reply to his (Clay's) address upon the
occasion of his last visit to this country.
The statement arose from a trivial cor-
J rection made by Mr. Clay in the draft of
Lafayette s remarks.

" Gone to thy Heavenly father's rest,
The flowers of Eden round thee blowing!
And on thine ear the murmurs blest
Of Shiloah's waters softly flowing.
And the white robe of Angels cad !
And wandering by that sacrediriver,
Whose streams of holiness make glad
The city of our God forever."
