A YXBY HIGH-HANDED ACT.-There is, in Glasgow, Howard County, a church owned by Southern Meho dists. To thfe church, the Southern Methodist Conference had appointed Rev. Mr. Swinney as preacher. Ber. Mr- Swinney, under his appointment, had taken possession. But it seems a Conference of Northern Methodists had appointed Mr. McCready to the dame church. Of course, both could not officiate. Mr. Swinney was in possession; if, therefore, Mr. Mc Cfeady were to occupy, he must do it by first ridding the pulpifr of Mr. Swinney. Mr. Swinney did not choose to retire. "What, then, was to be done? Our executioner of the laws, GOT. Fletcher, answered this ques? tion, and in the way we shall briefly state. About two weeks agc, he sent an order to Gen. Pratt, commanding North of thc Missouri, to take pos? session and hold that church for thc use of Mr? McCready. Gen. Pratt \ ordered Col: Denny to execute the order, and he did so. Col. Denny . demanded the keys of the ohurch of Mr. Swinney, and had them turned over to Mr. McCready, who is now the incumbent! We understand and are informed that thc building in question belorgs to the Methodist Church, South, and is lawfully at their disposal. At any rate, they were in possession. Yet thc Governor, with a sublime audacity, (which, how? ever, he does not show in St. Louis,) proceeds to oust the lawful owners or possessors at the point of the bayo? net.-St. Louis Republican. A Texas editor bows thus grace? fully: "We are equally indebted to two lady friends, who shall be name? less in this-though they have very attractive names-for a magnificent cake, iced and decorated with roses, lilies, crape, myrtle and evergreens, and a goblet of sherbet, such as we read of in tho tales of the Arabian Nights. We hope they may fold their wings, and conclude to remain on this earth, and-feed us in this style habitually." COPARTNERSHIP NOTICE.

FELLOW-CITIZEXS: After mneli hesitation, I have consented to be put in nomination for yonr Representative in the Congress of the United States. I publislrthis Ard, be? cause the District is so largo and the time before th? election so short tliat I could not, if I desired, canvass tho District. If a canvass wons possible, however, I do not think it becoming or desirable. In my judgment, this is no time for a scramble for office. It seems to me that no one proper? ly impressed with the solemnity of the crisis, and the delicacy and importance of the duties to be discharged, could seek the position merely for the gratitieation of per? sonal ambition. For myself,! declare that I have no wish but to servo the State. In 1788, South Carolina, through a con? vention of her people, boeaine one of thc United States. She remained a member of the Union until December, I860,, when, through another convention of her people, she repealed the Ordinance of 1788, seced? ed from the United States, and with cer? tain other sister States entered into another government known as tho Confederate Government. Wc believed tha^ we had the right to secede and. that "our gecurwy re? quired ifs exercise in co-operation with our Southern sisters. South Carolina, in 1KT>2, proclaimed by solemn ordinance tho right I of secession. It had long boen the settled opinion of the Statt? that shcjw&s sovereign and entitled to all the rights of sovereignty. Sile asserted self-government in ord'Wto secure her institutions and principles from great evils, believed to bo mirri incut. Se? cession was in the nature of a proceeding quia limel. It was conceived in tho spirit ol self-preservation-not to injure others hut to save ourselves. It cannot bo necessary to say that I am one ol' those who believe that it was an honest effort for honorable purposes. The United States Government denied the right of secession and waged war upon the Confederate States, which stood upon the d?fensive. A terrible wai ?if invasion and .desolation followed, arie1 finally the Confederate States were over? whelmed bv force of numbera and dissolved At the end of the war the State pf Soutt Carolina found the Confederacy broken up her citizens who survived the terrible ordeal exhausted and impoverished, he; institutions destroyed, and the whole conn try occupied by the military forces of th? United States." Under these painful cir cumstances, the President of the Unijpt States invited tho States lately composm; the Confederacy to rc-organizo their gov ornments and restore then*connection wit] the Constitution anti Government of tnt United States, upon certain conditions, th< principal of which was .au aequiesence ii tilt; noolition of slavery, which had beoi accomplished by the military authorities Thc State, wisely iii my judgment, respond ed favorably to the invitation. It is tra that thc mere issue of battle does not prov right any more, than did thc old "wager c battle:" but it docs prove power which can not he disregarded. A Provisional Gover nor was appointed, who called another con vention ol'* the people, which has latel ?repealed the Ordinance of Secession, an by an article hi the St ato Constitutor recognized the abolition of slavery and pr< hibited its re-establishment. By repea inc that of Secession, thc Ordinance c 1788, through which South Carolina ht came, a member of the Union, was f?,> facto revived, and ve are. this day .in th Union precisely as we became in 1788 an remained up to 18G0. We are now in avery anomalous positioi Relying irpon tho good faith anti patriot intentions of the President of the Unite States, we have done all that was require of us to restore our old relations to tl Constitution and tho Union; but still v. have not been received into fellowship ? Washington. That important part of tl plan of reconstruction remains yet to 1 accomplished. It is understood that party will oppose the President's plan reorganizing thc States and giving to the equality of rights, and will insist upon st: farther despoiling and emailing thc Statt of t he South as conquered provinces. Th radical fanatical party opposed our Jeavb the Union, and now they oppose our retilr ing to it. When wc were in t he Union, tin abused us on account of slavery. Tin waged war upon ?is because we" tried separate from them, and now that we pr pose to returii?without slavery, tkey st object. In this emergency,*be State nee thc assistance of all her true men. Mn remains to bc done, and not the least is secure a prudent, faithful and patriot representation in Congress, to assist a: forward the work of restoration which t State has commenced. 1 arrogate no* myself fitness to form part of such a rc resentati?n, but friends have urged mc ft wartl, and if you are willing to trv me will give my best efforts. In some respects, wc arcat the beginni of our policy, as if we were a new St! about to assume new relations with c sister States; but we must never allow oi selves to forget that in other respects are an old State-a Stato having ante dents-a name to maintain and a history preserve. ?Whatever may betide us in *t uncertain future, tuc past, ai least, ia* oc? cur e. South Carolina ha? never swerved from the path of honor, as she conceived it. We have a record of which none need bo ashamed; and when any apostate son ef hers disclaims or disparages it, may she cast him "out as unworthy of her. The devotion of every true son of thc S'ate adheres in adversity as well as in pros? perity-is loval through evil KS well as through good report; and in t?t midst of ! the greatest misfortunes, "sticket ii closer than a brother." After the delegations from tl?? Southern States shall have been received* into Con? gress, many delicate and impoj tant duties will devolve upon them, especially io refer? ence to thc freedmen of the South, and the control which Congress, or a party in Con? gress, may desire still to exercise ovei? them. It may not be improper, in this connection, to say that, whdst I have ap? proved the course of thc State in scckiug to restore h?r old relation? with the Govern? ment of the United States, it has heon upon the faitli and expectation that the State, as soon as reconstructed, is to have entire control ol' the wlu.de subject of her domes? tic affairs. The State, and thc Stat? alone, i must bc left to decide to whom she will give thc right'of suffrage < r other political rights. A new code noir must be enacted ! to protect and govern the populanon lamely made free-to prcvont idleness, vagrancy, pauperism and cftnio. I am not prophet ' enough to foresee whether we can succeed, i but I solemnly believe it will be impossible to live in thc country at all unless the State 1 has exclusive control ol' the whole subject. I lowe hopi- that thiswillbcpermittee}, and I "think it is in accordance with our inte? rests and, true policy to sustain thc Presi dent and thc Democratic party in their effort*tu restore the States tot-ieir posi? tion of equality and to give thuin equal rights in the Government. With these views, if the voters of the District think that I can serve them or the State in this critical emergency, ] will do my best for them; but I have too high a sense of my own incompetency and of the difficulties and responsibilities of the posi? tion, to solicit it Itv a personal canvass.
