IUv. .Mr, Stewart came to Oregon as an
MiilnHiirjr flit from California by tlia M. K.
Church .South to build iiji the Democratic
party and pn pure tlm way fur an orgaui.a

among us fully imbued with llio spirit of
the 'grcut head of the Church South,' and
deeply impressed with the necessity of insk

KClllcuicnt to settlement, trudging through
ruin mid mud from home to house, ferreting
out such wished to commune with a M.
J!. Church that recognized slave-breeding
as u divine Institution. Although the
grcut majority of our citizens hud no sym
pathy with his mission, ami regarded him
as ii nmon-strw k fanatic, .Mr. Stewart wan
t'fcrywhcro hop!tiibly received. As he
approached the gate of tho yard fronting
the humlile enhin of the Free-State settler,
(he liltlo oiies were Kent out to keen the
dogs from lacerating his calves, tho door
was thrown wide open fur his reception,
til drenched overcoat was hung on an n
proprinto peg by the good housewife, his
muddy legging were (.lowed carefully in a
corner, and his old hut was hung up to dry,
while ho was invited to monopolize a Muz
lug fire, scud d In the family nrm-chuir, at
South thus coolly treated liy men profess
ing to pos'CM the real unction of genuine
Texas Methodism, of course raised the ire
of the missionary propagandist. They at
once decided that while liishop Janes and
his friends had on the rohes of Texas Meth
odists, the unction that pervaded them was
tho unction of Massachusettsthat while
the 'roice m the voice of Jacob, the
hands were the lisnils of Ksau.' A coun
cil was Immediately called, consiting of
Southern Methodists, mid outsiders of the
' biwr sort' who sympathized with them,
and it was decided thut such heretic, as
liishoji Janes could not le allowed to re
main in Texas to give him a cup of cold
water, or allow him a ' pone' of corn-bri ad,
or a hitu at a 'erueklin dodger l fore
leaving, would he offensive to the great
head of the M. K. Church South, mid wan
of course out of tho question. 'Away
with him! away with him!' 'Jtirk him!
d n him!' was heard reurlxrating
through the air, odorous with tho fumes of
whisky, rent with ciin.es and blasphemy,
ami sanctified with the 'A mens' of broad'
chested Southern Methodists sporting u
bowie-knife at one suspender button and a
revolver at the other. In appointing a
committee to wait on the llishop, it was
thought best that the 'earth help the wo
man' consequently a levy was made upon
the profane crowd to attend a few select
' divines' in communicating the decision of
the mob to the Jiishop. This valiant coin-
m'ttce, armed with deadly weupons, entered
llio iin cling-liuiisc wlulu tliu U.nhoii was
engaged In tlic morning service, and made
him stop to hear the decision of the pu-
laeo that 'ho must leave the country, or
llmj iroultl Artie blind.' The JJi.shop, of
course, had no desire to mingle his own
blood with that of hicerated niggers, to be
offered 'as a swcct-smcllinir savor' tiiiosi
tho altar of the M. K. Church South. He
thought his body ought to be ofF red as u
living sacrifice, while his Southern brethren
wished it offered u.i a deud one a differ
ence of opinion on nn 'essential' mutter
which of course led to a separation. Now
all this was done down in. Texas, the hind
