"IXrHEREAS our Itinerant Preachers?
having assumed to themselves the
exclusive privilege of making rules for
the government of our Church, and
in the exercise of that authority, have
in various instances, encroached upon
our religious and civil rights; and have
(by their general conduct) evinced to us,
the necessity of a general representation,
of the -Local Preachers and Lay-members
of our Church as a security for
those rights some of us, actuated by
the purest principles, have formed our
selves into Union Societies and passed
resolutions; among which are the fol
lowing, passed at Whitaker's Chapel, ia
Halifax county, March 3d, 1827 viz:
JRcsolvcd, 1st, That in the estimation
of this Society, the friends of Reforma
tion in the Methodist Episcopal Church
in this State, ought to be represented at

in this Stale favorable to Reform, be re
quested to meet at some convenient'

Monday in June next, and elect two

Bradford's Chapel, in Halifax County,
on the second Monday in September, fof
the purpose of choosing Delegates for
the General Convention to be held in
Baltimore as aforesaid.

Never Despair. A ffentleman
who had paid some attention to a
young lady near Portsmouth, N.
II. proposed marriage, which she
declined, on account of her youth,
(not a common reason.) He beg
ged her to name when he might
expect a favorable answer. She
replied, in 20 vears(her age was
then 20.)- He paid strict atten
tion to her, and at the expiration
of that time reminded her of her
promise, when, true to her word,
she accepted his hand, and they
were married.
Cheap Enough. Rebecca
Bates, (whether spinster, wife, or
widow, does not appear,) has is
