that had made life so pure and 1
pleasant; the charm of thinking
the professions of those who ex
pressed affection and interests for
her, were sincere, was departed. She
had worshiped truth—she found thej
world false—her spirit was not for-i
med to endure it; and sho could not
have recourse to the maxims of phi
losophy or what is far better, the
promises of Christianity to aid her to
resign her hopes of felicity here, and
seek her portion in that world where
truth is bliss. She appeared calm,
and resigned, but there was in her
manner an apathy, almost a deadness
of feeling, towards those, objects and
friends that seemed onco to interest
every faculty of her mind. She
er complained of pain, but she evi
dently declined—her beauty <1 id not
fade; site retained her angelic charms
till the last; and after Iter pure soul
had departed, the clay it had once
Inhabited, looked too holy to resign
to corruption and the worm. She
was buried beneath the shade of a
broad sycamore, and the white rose
bush planted at her head, still droops
over her grave.

Wo foci sensibly the obligation we
owe to the Editorial corps of Georgia
fur the manner in which tiny, in ge- j
nerd, have, noticed the entree of the
Cabinet—though this acknowledge
ment may be due to all, we certainly j
exinrienc* the weight of obligation
in a different eatin as regards the Re
corder and Constitutionalist—Than
our readers and patrons may also
judge, as to this matter, we make the
following extracts—The Recorder
says
all the avocation* which are not i
i 1
discreditable, almost any should be pre
ferred to the printing of a village
newspaper—’tu labor literally thrown
away, where there can be neither profit
nor a reasonable hope of any, either for
the present, or in all future time. D e
advise Mr. Robinson to seek, by all
means, a situation more favourable.”
On this the Constitutionalist re
marks,
“Now we are sorry to find our Mil*
ledgevillc friends throwing cold water up
on the experiment of the Warren Printer;
I the more so, for knowing as we do, toe
unaffected patriotism and intelligence of
the citizens of Warren county, which
! will no doubt be steadily exerted in
support of their Cabinet. D e confess
|we entertain already for this little pa
per, a strong attachment, because we
i think wp discover in some of its original
; essays, the pen of an oh! friend—one
i through all changes is still the ,’Paine —a
1 gentleman distinguished as moth fur hi®
| goodness of heart aX for his steilicg
worth and unassuming deportment. \N e
hope Mr. Robinson’s paper will go on
and prosper—wc are sure the editors ot
the Recorder hope so tuo—and we
mistake much if there be not found from
time to time, in the Huiol Cabinet, much
ratter both in politics and polite Litera
ture v. - rthy of being Ireasuied up.”
As to Ihe advice given by the Re
corder, it appears to savor of that be
nevolence which says “be ye fed and
be ye clothed” — To whom shall wc go
—not to the Metropolis, (says the Re
corder) forsooth, there are plenty ol
hungry expectants thereabouts alrea
dy. \Ve must, for the present, con
tent ourselves with our “ destiny ob
scure” and labor assiduously in our
vocation, Imping that the friendly an
liripations of the Constitutionalist
may be realised, and the forebodings
of the Recorder may ultimately prove
“ such stulf as dreams arc made of.”
The meeting of the friends of the
present administration of the General
I Government, proposed to have taken
place at Wrightsboro’ on Saturday
: last, lias been postponed till the 41h
of July next—and then—and then—
look out for a storm in a tea pot.
The General Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, which
convened at Pittsburg, Pennsylvania,
on the Ist. ult. was expected to have
closed its session by the 27th. The
only intelligence we have received,
from that body, lias been through the
medium of the Christian Advocate &
Journal. The case of Dennis B.
Dorsey, an Itenerant Preacher, ex
p-lied by the Baltimore Conference
fur recommending and circulating
pamphlets of an i nil Animator/ charac
ter against the government of their
Chun h and slanderous of its Minis
ters, &c. &c. (we presume, r peri
odical entitled “The Mutual Rights
of the Ministers and Members of the
Methodist Episcopal Church”) came
before that body by appeal—the de
cree of the Baltimore Conference
which ex< luded him from the Church,
was confirmed, ninety six in favor
and sixty two against. A correspon
dent of the Advocate says, “ Though
j this discussion did not involve the ab-1
jstract question contended for by Mr.
Dorsey and his friends, it speaks loud,j
and will long be heard in favor of the
“ancient landmarks.” anil against;
the spirit and manner in which some I
of our unhappy and mistaken breth
ren have conducted their publications.
And it should not be forgotten that
neither D. B. Dorsey nor any of his
coadjutors was cot detuned for an ex
pression of his opinion, but for the
intemperate & inflammatory manner
in which that opinion was expressed,
and for uttering and circulating slan
ders against the living and the dead.
This distinction must be borne in
mind by those who would justly ap
preciate the merits of this controvert
►sv.”

The General Conference have made
the following elections:—Dr. John
Emory, for Editor and General Book
Steward—The Rev. Beverly Waugh,
for Assistant Editor and Book Stew

General Conferance is to meet in the
city of Philadelphia, May 1, 1832.
The Macon Georgia Messenger of
