RESOLUTIONS OF INSTRUCTION

Resolved, That as war now exists be-
tween the United States and Mexico, it is

the proper measures for the prosecution of
the war, in such a manner as our national
honor and interest demand, until it shall be
determined by an honorable peace.
Resolved, That no peace with Mexico
can be regarded as honorable to the United
States, which shall not secure from that
Republic full indemnity for the aggressions
which it has committed upon the rights of
this country and its citizens.
Resolved, That if any Territory is here
after acquired by the u. States, or annexed
thereto, the act by which such Territory is
acquired or annexed, whatever such act
may be, should contain an unaIterable, fun
damental article, or provision, whereby
slavery or involuntary servitude, except as
punishment for crime, shall be forever ex-
cluded from the territory acquired or an
nexed.

gress from this State be instructed, and the

Dear me-" said our Mrs. Darlington on
reading from the pen of a tall ecceslastlc
that he should maintain his present position

remained, Dear me, if his eyes and intel

he will have to stay'' And the simple old
soul drew a long breath, as she tied her

n RiUer AonSier.-Contracts have been
made in New York for the building of
steamer,t to run the OH Hudson, four hundred
feet long. The calculation is, that she will
run to Albany and back, daily; or, in twelve
or thirteen hours. The Hendrick Hudson
is, we believe, the longest boat hitherto
built. She is $50 leetlong.- Chronotype.

one of the Telegraph lines leading from

Free TraIc.---A wise morning contcm-
porary has discovered that the present pc
cuniary smash in Great Britain is the awful
result of free irdfe! Well, if there had
been no free trade, but the old corn laws,
what? Why, the hungry people could
not have imported so much food, more
would have starved, not so many merchants
would have failed. Would that have been
a better state of things OF course it would.
Is it not better for hundred poor men and
women and their babes to starve than for
one great merchant to fail Ask Safest
State street will tell YOU "pooh, yes

Col. Martin Scott! Shall we relate his
fabulous fcats! We will; without expec-
ting to be believed We never believed
a. L. al
beheld them, on an occasion when we had
tainted him into proving that possible,
which we had denied and derided as an i'm
possibility, a sheer romance. We saw
him throw potatoes into the air and bore
them both with a single bullet. We saw
him do this with both rice and pistol. We
saw him take down five swallows success
sivelv on the wing with his rifle with
single ball. We saw him plant four sue
ccssive balls in the centre, so eloSey that
but one hole could have been detected. AT
the fifth shot, his rifle hung lire.-~Neverthe-
less, the half the diamater of the ball was
within the hole. We saw him shoot ut liv-
ing objects AT Icasta thousand times, but new
or saw him draw trigger in vain, never knew
his bullet to vary a hairs breadth from the
spot where he had previously said he would
place it,
