Texas was acquired for the avowed purpose Of

The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1850-01-09

The REST OF MANKIND.-The third
paragraph of the Presidents Message
commences thus:
"We are at peace with all the world
and seek to maintain our cherished rela-
tons OF amity with the rest OF mankind"
Some speculation has arisen since the
Message appeared, to know what country
the s.rest of mankind" inhabit. AS "we
are at peace with all the world" it GER
tainly cannot be any part of this earth
We have seen some suggestions thrown
out. that the above extract was incorrect
ly printed by the newspapers. Now we
have pamphlet copy Of the Message,
which we received from our Member OF
Congress, and which was printed at the
Office of the Republic, the official organ o.
the President, and the sentence is just as
we have quoted it.

were elected Speaker in pursuance ofthat
arrangement. You carried out portion
of the written contract, by voting for, and
electing Mr.. Knapp, Clerk. When the O.
ther officers were elected, the Senator from
Franklin moved resolution to adopt all
the rules of the last session. 1t was voted
down, the Senator from Hamilton aided in
so doing. You, sir, had been notified that
it would be done-that all efforts constitu-
tional and legal would be made, to take
from the Speaker the power to appoint
committees, and you agreed, upon the
condition that your vote was not to be ex-
pected. When the person claiming the
seat of the Senator from Hamilton, rose, to
read his speech, and objections being
made, you recognized him as a Senator,
knowing as you did, tnat the Constitution
only allowed thirty-six Senators, and yet
you recognize thirty When the
Senator from Summit asked you why you
had not iniormcd him of your intention to
recognize Mr.. Broadwell, you answered
that you had. and thus you added false
hood to the dark crimes with which you
are,,charged. In the words Of an eloquent
statesman, contempt has the property of
descending, but it fails to reach one SO
stepped in inlamy, as to violate his word
OF homer solemnly pledged, and thus, sir,
and thus alone, are you saved from con"
tempt.
10 save yourself from conviction, you
rule the resolution of the Senator out otor-
der.
Now what do our readers suppose must
necessarily be the result of all this? Why
just simply this: The Speaker decides that
no business can be done because there
are three Senators holding seats from
Hamilton county, when that county is
entitled to but two, and that therefore the
resolution of Mr.. Swift is ont Of ORDER
Thus he recognizes the right of both john
son and Broadwell to vote, and then de-
cides, because they both vote, thatno busl.
ness can be transacted. We do not won
der at the strong language used by Messrs.
Swift, Payne, Whitman and Burns: and
it may be remarked that whenever strong
language is used by Mr.. Swift the occa-
sion will fully justify it, for he is one ofthe
mildest men we have ever known in polit
ical life. He would not say Il harsh word
of anv man if he was not impelled to it by
the sternest dictates of duty. Thus mat
ters stood in the Senate Oil Saturday last.
We would not be surprised to hear that
the Legislature was dissolved without hay
ing transacted any business.
The House hasbecome tired of waiting
for the Senate. Mr. Riddle asked leave
to Introduce bill to repeal the bill divid.
ing Hamilton county Objection being
made leave was granted by vote of two
to one! A large number of other bills
were then introduced, among which we
notice one by Mr.. Riddle to provide for
calling the Convention to Amend the
, Constitution.

"Many large pieces have been recently

pounds Of pure gold. In eight days, three
men look out 81 pounds Of pure gold.-
And last week two men took out in two

Now he longs to be

but Christ helps him. Now he elongs to be
in his eternal home. He seems to see the
angels waiting to convey him to that eter-
nal happy home. He seems to see the
Heavenly glories which surround the
Great Redeemer. AT last his spirit takes
its flight. 1t leaves its tenement OF clay
here on earth, and takesit flight, borne on
angels wings, to holier, happier world
than this. While friends weep around his
clay his spirit is on its way to Heaven
He arrives at Heaven. IT'S there he sees
his Great Redeemer who died on the cross
to save sinners. IT'S there he sees a
Great, Merciful, and Just God. IT'S
there he sees the glory which surrounds
the throne of the Most High. IT'S there
he sees his departed friends who had come
with him to the foot of the cross, and with
Joy he hears the Lord say, swell done,
thou good and faithful servant, enter thou
into the joys ofthy Lord" @
Oh! my dear schoolmates, is not this
place, is not Heaven, worth contending
for? Oh! then seek lhe Lord. He says,
pray in secret-retire in some secret place
and pray to the Lord-ask his forgiveness
The road to sin is broad and beset with
snares and enticements. The Christians
road is straight and narrow and sinners
will try TO lead you from it. Ask the Lord
to help you and direct you in the path OF
truth and righteous, and while temptations
surround you'lit up your heart to your
Great Maker, and say, Lord help me by
thy Holy Spirit-guide me in the right
path, and help me through the temptations
which beset me. Perhaps you may say
you are too young to experience religion,
and that the Lord does not listen to the
prayers of the young, and that you are too
Young to die yet. But the Lord says,
"Suffer little children to come unto me,
and forbid them not, for of such is the
Kingdom of Heaven" Yes, the prayers
of little children are heard. But about
dying. Go into graveyard, anywhere,
and you will see more graves OF our size
than OF older persons. Oh! then, flee to
the Lord. Remember that we are not too
young to die and that we have soul to
save. The Lord has invited us to come
to his fold, and we know not the day nor
the hour when we may be called upon to
appear before God. So then prepare for
Death. Wait not till you are old. Go no
longer in the path of sin.
My dear schoolmates, we may never
meet again. Death snatches his victims
quick and suddenly; and if we never meet
again here on earth we will meet in lleav-
en- where sorrow never comes. FAREWELL
May blessings attend you and our teacher
who has labored with lis. Shall her in.
structions be lost upon us? No. She
has always been kind and effectonate tc
us; and if she soon departs for her owr
home may we always remember her witt
affection. My dear teacher, our hearts
yearn towards you. Farewell! May
blessings attend YOU. II. a. ID.
