j. Again. it is subversive OF every pFEneiPle OF
the Bible, and destructive of every vestlge oil
Christianity. The Bible has but, one object IN
view-the salvation of fallen humanity. There
is but one efficient agent for the accomplish
nent of that obiect--tbe. spirit of God. The
word of God is the sword of that spirit by
which he pierces the inmost reeesses OF the
and sanctifes the soul. The human heart
is made the temple of that lofty spirit, and he
that defiIes that temple, him shall God destroy"

our mind that persons who find objection to such
articles as appear in every paper expressly for
humor, are looking for something of the nature:

STORMY WtNTER.---lt is predicted by the

unusually stormy marked by heavy falls of ram
or snow, or both. The prediction is based upon
the fact that about the same amount OF water
falls to the earth each year, and as much less
than the usual proportion has fallen during the
last six months, the balance Is to be made up

Transnlantinp Trees.

As the season has come when many
Of our citizens arc busy in the laudable
employment of transplantiag trees, we
wish to caution them against Que error,
in the operation, which causes the loss,
probably, of fifty per cent of the trees
which die in transplanting. 1t is setting
them too deep. Do not plunge them
into the bowels of the earth SO deep that
they can never hear thunder. The tree
itself is the best Judge of the depth most
suitable to it. Therefore, plant it just
as deep as you found it to be when you
took it from its native birth; and with
all, turn the same side to the sun. Stake
it up firmly that the wind may not con
stantly irritate the wounded roots while
they are endeavoring to shoot out new
fibres: wind wisp Of straw or mating
around the stem to keep off the violence
of the sun till the trees shall have time
TO start It's sap into circulation. Lay
some straw around the roots on the sur
face of the ground, wet it occasionally
and keep 1t covered with boards. BY
observing these hints Of an old hand at
the business. the loss of much labor in
transplanting, and of delay in procuring
shade may be saved Terre Houte Err

bins, aged Is years.
Lines ,rritten on the death Of GEORGE
SrEBBINS, q member Of The Free School,
lchO has recently died:
Sleep on, dear Schoolmatc take Thy rest,
For God has called thee home;
He knew for thee it was tho best,
And said TO thco-' My child, come homo !
Farewell farewell VIC miss thee here,
Yet know it was His will
To take thee from us, though so drear,
Our souls with mourning fill.
Yes, dear school mate, thou hast left us,
And thy loss we deeply mourn,
In the school-room oft thou st met us.
But from our side thou hast been torn
Can we no more thy face behold
oh is it true that We must part
The truth is said, the truth is told
But, oh the heart the bleeding heart
Dear young friend. for thee we sigh,
For thou vast loved by every heart -
Oh we wished thee always nigh.
But thou vast called from us to part
Farewell once more, Farewell!
IT'S oil that we can de,
But thou hast gone to Heaven to dwell,
To taste the joys we never knew.
Sleep on dear George, sleep on! 70
And though thy life on earth is DER,
We vet snail hope to meet thee soon,
Where VIC shall meet 30 part no more.

WAsHINGToN RUMoRs.-The Wash
ington correspondent of the N. Y. Cou-
rier, under date of April 10Th, writes :
THE Senate has postponed the Gads-
den Treaty until Thursday, the 9th of
April, with the understanding that fl
nal vote shall he taken on that day.
The Nebraska contelerates have ar
ranged for forced effort to pass the
bill on Monday next.
The Mirror correspondent says.
The impression now is that (Mexi-
CAM Treaty may pass. Mr.. James of
Rhode Island, has moved the reconsid-
Grafton. The present market price of
Senatorial votes is high.
Cuban affairs remain in stdtu quo,
but the Administration is determined
to give the Spanish authorities severe
overhauling.
The Correspondent of the Express
reports that Congress has already begun
to busy itself with arranging the next
Presidential campaign; that some of the
Wings are making efforts to bring out
JOHN BELL Of Tennesse, as their candi-
date for the Presidency; and that acom-
bination of the Southern men and North
ern Hnrds, are talking of Mr.. BucHAN-
AN, of Penn. for President, and Mr..
BADGER, of South Carolina, for Vice
President. .a

Meeting at Paris.

NoTE.-The call issued for the meeting
whose proceedings arc recorded below, was
intended as a call for a County meeting.
Some inadvertency prevented its acceptance
rs such. Under the circumstances, it was
deemed advisable to hold an adjourned NEE
ting, and issue an explicit call to that effect.
The meeting called by the Friends
of Liberty and Justice" to meet in the
Town of Paris, assembled at the Con
gregasional Church, Friday afternoon,
the 2lst inst. at o'clock, p. NJ, when
on motion,
s. E. TARBELL, of Bristol, WAS
called to the Chair, and S. Y. BRANDE.
of Kenosha, appointed Secretary. The
objects of the meeting having been sta
ted by several gentlemen, and some re-
marks having been made as to a misap-
prehension of the extent of the call for
the meeting, the Rev. t. Tenney, of
Bristol, on invitation, introduced Sc
ries of resolutions for the consideration
of the meeting, which resolutions were,
on motion, referred to committee of
three, consisting of Messrs. Tenney. Kel-
logg and Fowler.
During the absence of the committee
remarks were made bv several gentle
men on the duty of freemen in refer
enee to the encroachments of Slavery
upon rights heretofore deemed sacred,
when the committee reported the series
of resolutions before mentioned, with a
recommendation that they be adopted,
which were accordingly, after some dis
cussion unanimously adopted, as follows !:
WHEREAS, Liberty is the price of
eternal vigilance, and firm and uncess-
ing resistance of the first encroachmen,s
upon our inaiienobte rights, therefore

The Sacredness of Marriage.

The National MteN;gencer of this
morning contains the following local
item:
"The Criminal Court met yesterday
morning. pursuant to adjournment, and
several small cases We're disposed Of by
submission. On Saturday last a free
colored man, George Gaines, was CON
yieted of bigamy; but yesterday the
Judge discharged Gaines, on the ground
that the prior marriage was void, one Of
the parties having been aslave, and mar
ried without the consent of the owner"
This announcement is made in a
leading and dignihed American news
paper, published in the metropolis of the
Republic.
The fact is bad enough as stated, but
not as bad as the reality. With the
consent ofthe owner, the marriage would
have been void. The law does not rec
ognize the marriage of slaves under any
circumstances and any man ofcolor, or
white man disposed to intermarrry with
with women of color, may in the city of
Washington have as many wives as Joe
Smith or Brigham Young, provided
they are all slaves.
Ours is sometimes spoken of as n
Christian country National Era.

Southern Convention.

The New York Tribune has the fol-
lowing among other comments on the
late Southern convention -
Well, the Convention has met and
has parted: has twaddled about capital
aid trade and progress; and has sworn
a now fealty to Slavery, and poverty, and
weakness and deterioration. So they
will go on. They will meet, and meet,
and mcet-and Norfolk and Charleston
will remain villages; and the 10000
people just shown by the Virginia jour
mails to exist in that State ignorant OF
reading and writing will increase; and
the people of small means who must live
by labor, will continue to desert the soil
OF Slavery for that Of liberty; and the
100000 immigrants will pour into the
Northwest and avoid the South more
and more; and the trade of the North
cast and West will augment along with
their arts and manufactures, and polish
and civilization.
Such Is the sad and simple truth OF
this !. natter, and we utter it accordingly.
We are sorry to have SO disagreeable a
duty to diechargc, but it cannot be help
ed. 1t is pain what aiIS the South, but
her politicians and journalists and con-
ventioners refuse % see it. She Ian
guishes for want OF varied industry
mechanics aIways-so If farmers, artists,
inventors, savans-but suth men VIII
not seek slave-doomed cou 1sry when
liberty beckons them or holds them t.
free soil. And up to the time thai the
South seriously prepares to abolish sla'-
cry, it will remain inferior to the North
in self supporting power and all the elo-
monts of the progress she would emulate
without adopting its conditions. The
great secret of the astonishing growth
and the immense resources of the free
States, is nothing else than liberty and
democracy. Where they exist, fussy
Conventions to encourage and attract
trade by long-windcd and shallow speech
es are not needed; where they do not, a
whole nation of orators might spout for
ever without the slightest effect.
