your shootin gun goin' off; but guess it's
only the frost comm out Of the ground
AT the mention of his gun the Squire got
out of bed and opened the door into the sit
ting room.
Sally are you up What noise was that y
"Twas-'twas, just shut the front door
that's all the noise heard"
"WeIl, you'd better put the nail over the
latch aud go to bed"
The next morning the old lady gave Sally
a severe scolding for slamming the door so
hard, when people were asleep.
That interesting interview, and above all
the parting kiss, was more than Sally Jep-
son could stand unmoyed-and on the next
Sunday when she went to church and got a
sly wink and nod from Josiah. for her life
she couldn't tell whether she had heart
left among her goods and chattels, altho'
she tried all meeting time to decide the
doubt. Josiah repeated the kiss on that
very evening, and performed more, for he
popped the alternative, and had the satlsiac-
ton to Sc Sally blush-an infallible symp-
tom that his question had gone straitway to
the heart. and caused il to flood her checks
The parson soon blessed theshappy twain
and they became one hesh-yery much
to the delight of all lovers of Thanksgiving
dainties-who in that union foresaw per.
petuation of Josiah's Incompatible breed
of turkeys, as well as some other things.

John Quincy Adams on AboHtion.-Mr.
Adams was waited on at Pittsburgh, by
Committee of Political Aboltionists, urging
him TO meet and address them. This he
declined, avowing that he was as much OPP
posed TO Slavery as any of them, and espe-
cially to the representation of Slaves in
Congress, but expressing opposition to the
abolition measures Of the day, as follows:
"Wnh regard to the subject mentioned in
this note-the annexation of Texas, and the
abolition of Slavery in the District of Col
umbia,-I have no opinions, which l wish
to conceal. The Texas question is very
delicate one, and it is probable it will occu-
nv much of the attention of Congress the
ensuing session. my views of il have been
already avowed on more than one occasion.
On the subject Of Abolition societies. Anti
slavery societies, or the Liberty Party; |
have never been member of any of them.
But in opposition to slavery, | go as far as
any of these; my sentiments, l believe very
nearly accord with theirs. That slavery
will be abolished in this country and thro'-
out the world, firmly believe. Whether it
shall be done peaceably or by blood, God
only knows, but that it shall be accomplish
ed, | have not doubt, and by whatever way,
say let it come.
GAS to the abolition Of Slavery in the
District of Columbia, have said that | was
opposed to it-not because | have any
doubts of the power of Congress to abolish
slavery in the District, for have none.--
Blu. regard it as violation of Republican
principles, to enact laws at the petition of
one people which are to operate upon anoth-
er people against their consent. AS the
laws now stand, the people of this district
have property in their slaves.
81 do not admit that these laws are in ac-
cordance with Justice, for it can never be
true that one man can rightfully have prop
erty in another man. Still these laws have
had an existence since before that part OF
the country became the District of Column
ba, and was brought under the pow
err Of Congress and think they should not
be altered ,0ithOm the consent Of the people
of the District. This consent l believe
will yet be obtained, and slavery will be
abolished there.

Rasedify-A most valanous transac.
ton on the part of captain of canal boat
came to our knowledge on Saturday last
A poor emigrant from some part Of Rhode
Island, on his way to the far west, before
taking passage in one Of the line boats rua--
ming between Albany and Buffalo, paid the
agent or owner Of the boat at the former
city. the passage money for himself, his wife
and two children, 10 the latter and took
receipt therefor. Owing to some trifling in
convenience which the captain alleged he
and his crew suffered from one Of the emf
grants children, just before the boat passed
the limits of Fort Plain, he caused the SIM
pie and inoflensiye man 10 pay for carving
his baggage, furniture, &c and then, with.
out refunding particle of the passage mon-
ey, thrust everything belonging to the man
upon the bank Of the canal. and ordered
him and his distressed family to leave the
boat. In vain the poor emigrant presented
bis receipt, declared his poverty, and his ina
bIliiy TO proceed TO the place of his des.
nation, if thus defrauded and imposed upon.
In vain he pointed to his weeping wife and
understanding could move the heart OF
the wretch-and the emigrant, not knowing
or not daring to maintain his rights, sub
missively complied with the unjust requis-
ton, and with his family left the boat
He applied for legal aid, bu, the circum.

Members Of Congress.-The National In
telligencer, in some remarks upon the Ia
bors and duties Of the approaching Con
gress, expresses belief that an attempt will
be made to sanction the proceedings Of
Georgia, Mississippi, and the other States
that have elected members by General tick
ct, rather than by single districts, as requr-
ed by the act of Congress. That correct
and well Judging paper thus remarks:
"The persons sent hither as Representa-
tives, by the States who have thus de6ed the
law, belonging chiefly to the party which is
most numerous in the House, it has been
presumed that an effort will be made in this
case, as was done in the New Jersey case
four years ago, to introduce these illegally
chosen members into the House by the mere
force Of numbers. Whether this attempt
will be made, and, if made, whether it will
be successful, remains to be seen. 1t can
only succeed, of course, by trampIng down
the barriers Of the Constitution, and march
ing over them into the Representatives Hall
1t will be the duty of the fast friends OF the
Constitution to resist to the utmost, by their
arguments and their votes, such an assault
upon that sacred Charter Of Liberty and
Law. Should their resistance be in vain, 1t
will then become their duty, instead OF at
tempting any violent remedy, to enter
Protest so formal and so solemn against this
iniraction of the law, as to leave no doubt
of their determination, on regainlng the as
tendency in that body, to take effective
measures to prevent the possibility oil re-
currence, in all future time, Of circumstan-
ces such as this, more threatening to our
Liberty than any that have ever yet taken
| place in the Republic"
