for once in my life, an pleasantly

made a very pleasant passage. Gu
countering some storms, head winds,
squalls, gales and Gains we have

ject to nothing but the severe gales (;
the hard knocks, thumps and twists
one gets on such occasions, cannot

The ocean always presents majes-
tic appearance in calms or storms,
and during all the intervening stages,
it is a noble and impressive sight
Its aspect is constantly changing, and
real lover of natural wonders will

storms il is awmlly grand. During
one severe gale, which lasted TWEEN
ty-lour hours, beheld sight which
is Indelibly stamped upon my mind
the impression was such as can new

of the " Rio de IA Plata stormy
and tempesluous region; tempest

bable was the uproar and confusion

vivid lightning quite blinded and
scorched me the wind blew a hur-

rife scene, and was finally able TO
look sIeadlastly al it, and actually TO
enjoy it. The roar of the sea, the
crashing thunder, the loud trumpets
of the officers giving orders, the cries
of the sailors, the creaking, groaning
and laboring of the ship, and the
wild, rushing, tearing wind, almost
inspire one to madness, and as the
tremendous waves dashed over the
bows Of our noble vessel, sweeping
the entire decks, ana the feathery
spray flew high above our heads,

in the tumult and uproar, rather than
remain passive spectator.

d, TIE ILLINOIS RFsoLUTIoNs.

Ihs Illinois papers supply the following
copy OF the resolutions on the Nebraska
question lately passed by the Legislature Of
that State:
Resolved, That our liberty and indie pend
ence are based upon the right of the people
TO iorm TOR themselves such a Government,
as they may choose; that this great princi.
pie, the birthright of freemen,, the gift of
Heaven--secured to US by. the blood Of our
ancestors--ought to be extended to future
generations; and no limitation ought to bs
applied to this power in the organization of
any Territory OF the United States, Of either
Territorial Government or a State cons,i-
tuition, provided the Government, as es,ab.
lshed, shall be republican and in conformity
with the Constitution.
RESOLVED, That we will stand BY the Com.
promise Of 1850; that we are attached 10 that
great fundamental principle of democracy and
tree institutions which lies at the basis of
our creed, and gives every political commu.
nifty the right to govern itself; 10 form such
a government as they may choose, without
limitation, restriction, or hndrance, save ODE.
dience to the Constitution of our country.
Resolved, That the institution OF slavery
was one ot the principal subjects of compro-
mise of the Constitution; that i, is recognis,
el therein; that we deem the restitution OF a
geographical line upon the right of the peo-
pie to lorm such government as they may
choose, in regard to the question Of slavery,
as gross violation of that sacred right as a
similar restriction upon any other. question
OF government, the right whereof is equally
recognised BY the Constitution of the United
q,
Resolusd. That this principle is contained
and carried ou In tn: Nebraska bill offered in
the Congress OF the United States by our,
distingu shed Senator, STEPHEN A. DOUGLAS:
that we approve Of said bill, and we II sus-.
tain our Sena;orin his advocacy Of the same.
The above resolutions passed the Senate of
Illinois by vote Of IA to 8, and the House
9f Representatives by a vote of 81 20 81.
The former body contains twenty-five, and
the latter seventy-five members. II will be
seen, therefore, that the resolutions wee pas.
sed by minority Of the Legislature. In the
House Of Representatives the negative vote
consisted Of ten Democrats and eleven Wings,
and the affirmative vote of twenty-nine Demo.
Gratis and two Whigs--one of these having
cast his vote with the majority that he might
have an opportunity to move reconsideration
Of the vote. Twenry-,iiree members were sb-
sent, or lodged the question, Of whom seven.
teen were Democrats and six Wings.
From this analysis of the vote contained in
The Illinois journals it appears that in the
House OF Representatives only thirty members
'ut OF seventy.fve sanctioned the resolutions

aeighI Of this Legislative act.-Nat. Intel.
