MRSSRS. EDITORS:--Permit me, through
the Banner, to call the attention of minis
ters seeking a field of labor in the West,
to the region of country lying between
Bloomington and the Sangamon lUTer, and
especially to Leroy, RS a central point for
operating. At this place, (Leroy), there is
a small church .Organization, and another
nt Cheney's,Grove, and a missionary point
aft Idqunt Pleasant.
Leroy is a beautiful village in .the county
of McLean, and surrounded by a beautiful
country, partly prairie and partly ,timber.
It' is .6n 'the road leading from Bloomington
to Indianapolis, fifteen milei from the
former place. This place .ought to be oc
cupied by Presbyterians, and we might
have had a preponderating influence , there
by this time, if the place had not been
overlooked. For further information ad
dress IL R. Colman, or Samuel Moore, El
ders, Leroy, McLean County, Illinois. But
better visit the 'place and see for yourselves.
When you visit Cheney's Grove, inquire
for Henry R. Rayburn, or William Rod

Gen. Jamison, President. A business Committee
Was appointed, and the Convention adjourned to
Charleston,
The Committee of Thirty-Three.
This Committee, being composed of one mem
ber from each State, is, in these times, necessa
rily discordant. Men Of" the more moderate
cast, and of substantial character, were selected,
but. still, they are the representatives of very
diverse constituencies. On the 13th, on motion
of Mr. Bust, of Arkansas, the Committee adopted,
by a vote of twenty-three to six, the following :
Resolved, That in the opinion of this Commit
tee the existing , discontents among the Southern
people, and the growing hostility among them to
the Federal Government, is greatly to be re
gretted ; and that whether such discontents and
hostility are without just cause or not, an rea
sonably proper and Constitntional remedies and
guarantees of their peculiar interests a'S',recog
nized by the Canatitution .necessary to preserve
the peace and the perpetuicy of the Unipnohould
be prdmptly and most cheerfully
On the 17th Mr. Adrain, of New-Jersey offered
he following : , ,
WHEREAS, The Constitution of the United
States is. the supreme law of the land, and a
ready and faithful obedience to it is .0, duty of
all good and law-abiding citizens;' therefore, •
Resolved, That we deprecate the spirit of dis
obedience to the Constitution. wherever Manifes
ted ; and that we earnestly recommend the repeal
of all statutes by the State Legislatures in con
flict with or violation of that sacred instrument.
and the laws of Congress passed in pursuance
thereof.
The resolution was adopted by a vote of 161
atminst 14.
The preamble. was adopted unanimously.
Mr. Lovejoy offered a resolution making a
similar declaration with Mr. Adrain's, with the
addition of a recommendation for the repeal of
all nullification laws, and the assertion that: it is
the duty of the President to protect and defend
the property of the United States.
This resolution was adopted; yeas, 124. No

Mr. Morris, of Illinois, under a suspension of
the rules, offered the following resolution, saying
that it contained the, language of Washington's
farewell address : .
Resolied, That we properly estimate' the im
mense value of our National Union to our collec
tive and individual :happiness ; that we cherish
a cordial and immovable attachment to it; that
we will speak of it as the palladium of our polit
ical safety and prosperity ; that we will watch
its preservation with a jealous anxiety ; that we
will discountenance whatever may suggest even
a . susiiicion that it can in any event be abandoned,
and indignantly frown down the first dawning of
every attempt to alienate any portion of our
country from the rest, or enfeeble the sacred ties
which now link together the various parts ; that
we regard it as the main pillar of the edifice of
our reaVindependence, the support of 01,1 r tran
quility at home, our peace abroad, our safety,
our prosperity, and that very liberty which we
so highly prize ; that we have seen nothing in
the past, nor do we see anything in the present,
either in the election of Mr. Lincoln to the Pres
idency of the United States, or from any other
exciting cause, to justify its dissolution ; that we
regard its perpetuity as of more value than the
temporary triumph of any party or of any man;
that whatever evils or abuses exist under it ought
to be.eorrected - within the Union in a peaceful
and Constitutional way x that we believe that it
has sufficient power to redress every wrong and
enforce every right growing out of its organiza
tion or pertaining to its proper functions, and
that it is a patriotic duty to stand by it as our
hope in peace and our defence in war.
Mr. Morris' resolution was passed by a vote of
116 against 44.

FRIDAY, 18th.—In Senate, Mr. Lane, of Ore
gon offered resolutions, strongly pro-slavery,
amendatory of the Constitution.
Mr. Crittenden, - of Kentucky, offered' an
amendment to the Constitution, providing a res
toration of the compromise line, of 36° 30'i,"and
for'the more certain execution of, the Fugitive
Slave Law, and for the removal of some of the
obnoxious features of that law. His proposition
was referred to a committee and ordered to be
printed.
Mr. Powell's resolution for a Committee of
thirteen, on the present difficulties, was passed
by the Senate.
At the meeting of the Pennsylvania delegation,
including the two. Senators—Mr. Stevens alone
being absent—the following resolution was passed
unanimously :
Resolved, That in our judgment it is the opin
ion of the people of Pennsylvania that the con
stitutional rights of all sections should be
respected and secured ; that all the laws should
be faithfully and promptly executed, and that
the Union of the States, the Constitution and the
laws of the United States be maintained and, be
enforced in all their integrity.
The Committee of thirty-three• are working
diligently, and hope to suggest something concil
iatory. In the meantime sundry of the members
of Congress are trying to pave the way for them.
The following circular was sent from. Wash
ington, December 31st, 1860:
To Our Constituents :—The argument is ex
hausted. All hope of relief in the Union,
through the agency of Committees, Congressioa-,
al legislation, or Constitutional amendments is
extinguished, and we trust that the South will
not be deceived by appearance or the pretense of
new guarantees. The Republicans are resolute
in the purpose to grant nothing that will or
ought to satisfy the South. In our judgment the
honor, safety, and independence of the South
ern people are to be found in a Southern Con
federacy—the inevitable result of Separate State
secession. That the sole and primary aim of
each slaveholding State ought to be its speedy
and absolute separation from an unnatural and
hostile Union."

PIED—In Tyrone City, on December 2d,1860, Mr. JOHN
B. STEWART, aged 51 years, 11 months, and _2 days.
, .
Mr. Stewart for many years had been a member of the
Presbyterian Church. His last hours were peaceful, and his
final passing away as happy, as the gophers of a child. Pre
vious to his death, he called his weeping family to his bed
side, and expressed the fervent wish that he might meet them
all in a happier world beyond the grave. His remains were
interred in the Presbyterian burying ground, at Birming

DlED—Near Beeville, on the • 30th of October,' Mr.
JOHII.HESLET, in the 80th year of his age.
The deceased first united with the Presbyterian church of
'Laurel Hill„Pa., then under the care of Rev. Jas. Guthrie, at
about the age of twenty-two. often remarked, however,
that he could hot remember the time when he did not love
the Baviimr. He remind, from Penntivania tethis ; place;
some years since, and was one of the original members of the
Presbyterian church of . Earlville, at its organization. He
continued to show his love and attachment to the church' by
his constant and faithful attendance upon the ordinances and
means of grace, until within a very short time previous to
his death, when ho was prevented by bodily infirmities. His
piety was consistent anitdeeided. He remarked to thewriter,
a short time before he died; that he thought his .work was
nearly done, and his sufferings here almost ended,. and that
he must soon go home to his Father's house of many man
dons. His friends are comforted in his death with 'the as
surance that their earthly losti is' his eternal gain. His end
was very peaceful. He remarked to one of his family, stand
ing by his side, just a few minutes before he died, " All is
over—all is well." These were his last wordS. U.

But two months previous, he left his home with a buoyant
heart, to attend the Academy at the above-nemedpitice, little
imagining that he *Mild return .11 cerise. So it was: :ilia
lignant dyptheria seized him, and in six days he became its
prey. Though at a distanee'from his home, and deprived of
the attention and sympathy of the itindest and most indulgent
of parents, he was not wanting relatives and friends, who
ministered to his wants, and bear testimony to the peaceful
ness of. his departure. Ins death was serene; and as he
severally bade them good-by, tendering a word of counsel to
each, he 'told them be was going to his 'Saviour. Parents
and relatione may mourn, and they will mourn, because
Philip John is not; but they need not mourn as those who
have no hope; their loss, we trust, is his eternal gain., "He
sleeps in Jesus," where "the weary are at rest.':
DIED—On the 9th of November, in Washington County,
Pa., of dyptherie, FLORA, daughter of Samuel and Sarah M.
Lyle, in the 13th year of her age. -
The death•of this little girl has plunged a family in the
deepest aMiction. But while there is cause for mourning
there is also substantial ground of rejoicing. She gave very
clear evidence of love to the Saviour. This, in ono so young,
is worthy of notice. During the whole of her painful 111
ness, her mind was in perfect peace. When it was announced
to her that she would die, she declared that she "was not
afraid to die." The reason she gave was, "I believe in Jesus
Christ." Justhefore her death she called her friends to her
side, and bade them an affectionate farewell. To her father
and mother she gave her Bibles, in whirl she had carefullY
marked many passages of Scripture. While she is mourned,
it is not with that feeling which is without hope.

Her troubles are ended, 'she's gone to her rest,
And sings a glad song with the host of the blest.

This publication is designed mainlytor the exposition, ad

Wits purely Evangelical sense; and for open .resistance to
whatever is liostile to it, or inconsistent with it. In perfect
consistency with that chief design, its. pages will be open to-the

of everything that promotes' or obstructs any one of those
interests. The work is projected, and be controlled by

the Standards of that Church in their °pylons sense.
The work will consist of aticiutl7s pages in each quarterly

projectors of this work are correct in supposing that there is
such a necessity and demand for it, that the public patronage,
will be sufficient to cover the actual expenses of it. If it will,
not. the enterprise will be allowed to drop. If it will, the
first number will be issued very soon after that fact is ascer
tained. Every one friendly to the enterprise is therefore re
quested to obtain subscribers, and forward their names and
address, not later than the endi of the current year; but no
money must be remitted until the first number is received by'

will eubscribe for it without delay. The club price of The
Weekly Tribune end Semi-Weekly T7iIIMIC is So 'law that
there are but few in any community unable to take it.
Henceforth, The Tribune, as the principal paper supporting
the new Administration, will be peculiarly interesting, while
outside of Politics, its reliable Foreign and IMmestic News, its
Commercial and Agricultural Intelligence, and the Literary'
Department, give to it interest aild value which-no other pa-.
per on this continent, can boast of, How ably and success•,
fully The Tribune has conducted the campaign now so glo- ,
rionsly ended, the result in New-York fully attests, •and' to
the untiring exertions, signal capacity and foresight of Hor
ace Greeley, is due much of the glory of the victory,,over
which a nation of Freemen is now rejoicing. It is, therefore,
the dutV of every true Republican to aid in giving The Tri
bune a still larger circulation. As evidence of itspopularity
and reliability, we may state that last week over Six Dux
limn THOUSAND copies were sold—a circumstance unprece
dented in the annals of journalism.—Guardian and Gazette,
