the husband is the petitioner. Among the
reasons set forth why the petition should
be granted, the chairman Of the commit

the wife had kicked him out Of bed, and
had stoned him in the street. That she
was sort Of Amazon, and rather strong
or than her husband, and that she had
once severely chastised him because he
insisted upon having cat sleep in TIC

considered insufficient by the committee

Senate, on Wednesday, resolution was
introduced naming the 2nd ofJune as the

posed that the Legislature will adjourn in
about a fortnight. No action was had on

In the House bill taxing stock and
exchange brokers had its final reading,

rate of 5000 per annum in Philadelphia,
500 in Pittsburgh, and $50 elsewhere
in the State. Mr.. Snowden's admend-

the resumption bill of the last session, was
brought under the hammer of the pre-

hibiting the banks from holding any stool
but those of the State and of the Unite,

letter.
AT these meetings dclinquents are tried,
and all the temporal as well as the spr-
tual affairs of the church are attended to.
During the three days occupied by this
conference, upwards of eighty individuals
were baptized.
These conferences are held in grove,
and present very much the appearance of
Methodist Camp Meeting, with their
tents, &C., &c. The Prophet held
forth at different times during the con-
ference, and in all his discourscs gave
the "Saints' Instructions in politics, as
well as in the doctrine of his religious
creed. 1t is well known that since the
"Prophet's" visit to Washington, the
whole church has turned a complete So
mcrset to the Administration.
Smith says Van Buren, will lose one
hundred thousand votes by the course he
has pursued towards him and his asso-
ciates. have no doubt myself, but they
hold the balance of power in Illinois.
In one of the "Prophct's" spiritual dis.
courses which have alluded to, he said
when he was in Washington, notice was
given that a learned and eloquent Priest
from New York City had arrived, and
would preach at a certain time and place
named. AT the time appointed he at
tended, and found crowded house, but
obtained very conspicuous scat. lie
soon discovered MIR. Van Buren,, occu-
plying far more conspicuous one.
! He said the preacher made long and
laborcd argument to prove that knowledge
was not essential to pictv. The Pre-
sidcnt, he said, listened with great atten-
ton and wcpt excessively he elevated
his head, SO that every person in the
house could see the tears roll down his
checks. lie said, it was just as easy for
the President to weep as to smile ! On
this occasion he wept to make the people
believe that he was very pious, but he
believed he was the greatest hypocrite in
the land.
He said Van Buren, was no more Dc
mocrat in principle than hero he turned
to his elders who were seated on the stand
and inquired what he should say the
answer was, "Your Dog.") Yes, said he,
my dog is better democrat. lie said he
believed IN being honestinpoltics as well
as in rcHgion!! lie would now leave the
President, and would neither curse him
nor bless him, but would just as soon
curse him as bless him ! lie would blow
