close of an hours speech, Robert Cook,
ESQ.,, of Rockcastle county, offered the
i following resolutions, which were adopt
ed by very decided majority Of the
citizens present:
Resotred, By the Free Democracy Of
the Sixth Congressional District Of
kentucky, that we are determinedly op-
posed to the repeal of the missouri
I COMPROMISE" of 1890, which forever
torblds the admission Of Slavery into the
territory of the United States. North Of
So deg. 80 min. North latitude.
Resotred, That this is not a question
between the North and South, but be.
tween the three hundred thousand slave.
holders, and the millions of the people,
North and South.
Resolped, That the claim of the SIavs
party, that the missouri Compromise
was superseded" ''abrogated" or rem
dered ''inoperative and void" by the
Compromise Bills of 1850, is auda-
cious and false; when it was, in truth,
recognized and affirmed by them.
Resotved, That our wrongs from the
Slave-despotism of the South are lost in
our dismay at the servility of the North;
and that we would lose all our hatred to
that unnatural state of Society, when
the so-called Free States breed such
men as Stephen A. Douglas, of Illinois,
did we not perceive that Slavery alike
OppresSes us, and debases them.
ResOlVed, That this attempt of the
slavery propaganda, to legislate slavery
into all the territory of the United
States, now by law forever free, thus de-
priving US of place of refuge, from
the destroying competition of unpaid
wages, adds new evidence of the disre-
gard of our interests and most sacred
rights, which they have studiously pur-
sued, and proves conclusively, that iber-
ty and slavery cannot co-exist-but that
one or the other must perish utterly.
Resolped, That the shareholders are
in sympathy with despotisms
everywhere; and that we call upon the
friends of European and worldwide
liberty, to note who are the defenders Of
Haynau and Bedini, and who are friends
of KoSsuth and Mazini and universal
democracy.
RESOLVED, That the pretended devo-
ton to ''the Union" and ''the Constitu-
ton" which exalted the Compromise
above the "higher law" of conscience
and revelation, was like the cry of claw
and order" in the old world; mere cant,
to cover up crime against the unsullied
Instincts of mankind; that these same
men now throw down their own Idol.
and reveal the fact, that Slavery is their
only God.
ResOl0ed, That the possibility of self
government and vital Republicanism is
now at isSue-that we stand now as ever,
upon the dicta of 1776-and that we
reiterate the ayowals of our illustrious
sires-''live or die, we are for the
declaration"
Resotved, That all newspapers in favor
Of republicanism, and against the Divine
right of Kings, be requested to publish
these resolutions-and that our Repre-
in Congress is asked to lay
ihem before the Senate and House Of
and the President Of
he United States.

LOVE AND PERFIDY.-It has been
truly and beautifully said, that wo-
mans heart is the true tablet of mans
image. An instant gives the impress
sion, and an age of sorrow and change
cannot efface it. There is something in
the very mechanism of woman, which
peculiarly fits her for the office of love
and friendship. Her devotion is as
wide as her empire, and as lasting as
her existence. In the sunshine OF pros
perity, it may seem very plaything, a
sport of every breeze, and the pension
er of every caprice; but let the storm
cloud threaten, and in an instant its
very nature seems changed, it clings to
its object with the devotion of despair;
nor can misfortune, ingratitude, or the
lightnings of public scorn shake it off.
There is something beyond the reach
of common guilt in trifing with the af-
fections of being so exquisitely con-
stituted; and we never read of an in
stance of such baseness, but that we
blush, in the deepest humiliation, to
know that anything bearing the upright
image of a man. could be guilty of it.
But many such cases the unwritten past
might furnish-unUritten, did we say?
Nol If there is a record kept in hea-
ven, such deeds are put down for final
account.

Eg Parson Brownlow, in exposing a
defaulting subscriber, who has ''fed to
parts unknown owing him six dollars,
uses the following tall language:
Let him be published in every journal
in existence, until his defalcation is
known; and upon the waves of the
Euxine let his meanness be borne along
with the shrieks of the drowning Aus
trians, and the groans of the dying
Turksi And may the deep dyed waters
of the Danube hide his body from the
eye of man, when the sabre of the Cos
sack and the Turk shall have drunk
deeply of his blood And may the
close of 1854 never permit the sun to
shine upon another rascal, who may
abscond in our debt, too mean and too
dishonest even to write and promise to

terror had faded from her lips, and in,
FAINT smiles were pictured beautifully
there; the red rose tinge upon her cheek
was lovely as in life, and as 1 pressed il
to my own, the fountains of tears were
opened, and wept as if my heart were
waters. | have but dim recollection
of what followed only know that l
remained weeping and motionless till
the coming of twilight, and that l was
then taken tenderly by the hand, and led
away where l saw the countenance of
parents and sisters.
Many years have gone by on the
wings of light and shadow, but the
scenes have portrayed still come over
me, at times, with terrible distinctness.
The oak yet stands at the base of the
precipice, but its limbs are black and
dead, and the hollow trunk, looking up
wards to the sky as ''if calling to the
clouds for drink" is an emblem of rapid
and noiseless decay. A year ago l
visited the spot, and the thoughts of by
gone years came mournfully back to me
Thoughts of the little innocent being
who fell by my side like some beautiful
tree of Spring, rent up by the whirlwind
in the midst of its blossoming. But l
remembered--and OH there was Joy in
the memory!-that she had gone where
no lightnings slumber in the folds of
the rainbow cloud, and where the sun
light waters are broken only by the
storm-breath of Omnipotence.
My readers will understand why l
shrink in terror from the thunder
Even the consciousness of security is no
relief to me-my fears have assumed
the nature of an instinct, and seem in
deed part of my existence.

NEBRASKA MEETING.-At meeting
of the friends of the Nebraska bill, he'd
at Cheshire, Gallia county, Ohio, Mr.
A. VANGILDER was called to the chair,
and j. j. Bing appointed secretary. A
call for speeches was responded to by
John F. Gates, Joseph Mauck, Jr., (op~
position A. Vangilder and R. Gates,
after which the following preamble and
resolutions were adopted:
Whereas the organization of terrific
rial institutions belong to the people; and
whereas the people is the only power
whereby the question of slavery can be
permanently settled; and whereas the
Congressional enactments of 1850 have
recognized in the people the right to es-
tablish such Institutions in their terrific
ries as they may believe will best con-
duce to their happiness and prosperity,
so long as they do not infringe on the
constitution of the United States; and
whereas the proceedings of abOlitionists
and factionists in calling together
State convention at the Capital, for the
purpose of expressing their indignation
Of the proceedings of the United States
Senate, are inconsistent with the princi-
Piles on which our Government rests; be
it therefore
Resolved, That we, part OF the citl-
zens Of Cheshire, recognize the great
doctrine given us by Thos. Jefferson
and other founders of our Republic,
that the people is the sovereign power,
and have the right to say what institu-
tions shall. and what institutions shall
not exist under their. respective terrific
rial or State governments; and +hst
Congress has no right of interference
so long as the people keep certain con-
stitutional limits.
Resolved, That the Nebraska bill now
before Congress is in accordance with
this principle of sovereignty, and the
doctrine carried out in the organization
of Utah and New Mexico.
Resolved, That the resolutions passed
by the abolitionists Of Kygervilie are
contemplate in themselves and should
be discountenanced by every lover Of
truth, justice and freedom.
1t was moved and carried that the
proceedings be published in the CALI
polls Journal, Gallia Courier and Ohio

INDIAN NARCoTICs.-Bayard Taylor
recently delivered an interesting lecture
in New York on the Arabians, in the
course of which he had occasion to
mention the habit of using a certain
narcotic drug, which prevails among this
people, and described its effects in some
experiments he made upon himself
His description was as follows;
While in Arabia, l had one very re-
msrkable experience. There is drug
in the East whose effect is like opium,
that which is prepared from the Indian
hemp. Itwas much used by the Saracen
warriors, when about to enter a battle
as stimulus. 1t produces on the i'm
agination a double consciousness; one
part of the mind seems to study while
the other part looks on. From motives
of curiosity, was persuaded to try the
effects of it upon my own system. l
was in Damascus at the time. Soon
after taking the drug, the effect began
to appear. l saw the furniture in the
room, talked with the company, and yet
l seemed to be near the. pyramid of
Cheops whose blocks of stone appeared
to me like huge squares of Virginia to-
bacco. The scene changed, and 1 was
on the desert in a boat made of the
mother of pearl. The sand seemed to
be grains of lustrous gold, through
which my boat ran as easily as on the
waves Of the sea; the air seemed filed
with harmonies of the sweetest music;
the atmosphere was filed with light,
with odors and music. Before me there
seemed to be constant series of arcades
and rainbows, through which for fifteen
years l seemed to glide. The finer
senses were developed, and all gratifca-
ton was single harmonious sensation.
Hence we can easily conceive the origin
of the Arabian Nights. Ny companion,
huge Kentuckian, tried the drug with
an amusing effect After looking at me
awhile, he suddenly started up with the
exclamation, '1'm locomotive" and
began to cut off his words like the puff
of an engine, and to work his arms like
the moving of the wheels. At last he
seized the Jug for drink, but set ii
down with a yell, saying, chow can /
take water into my boiler, when I'm let
ting off steam?''

THIRTY-FIVE.

's7he years Of man are three score and ten."
Oh, weary heart! thou'rthalf way home,
We stand on life's meridian height;
As far from -childhood's morning come,
As to the graves forgetful night.
Give Youth and Hope parting tear
Look onward with placid brow,
Hope promised but to bring us here,
And Reason takes the guidance now;
One backward look-the last-the last
One silent tear, for youth is past
Who goes with Hope and Passion back?
Who comes with me and Memory on?
Obi lonely looks the downward track,
Joy'smusic hush'd, Hopes roses gone.
To Pleasure and her giddy troop
Farewell, without a sigh or tear;
But heart gives way, and spirits droop,
To think that Love may leave me here.
Have we no charm when youth has
flown?
Midway to death, left sad and lone.
But stay! as 'twere twilight star
Thatsen its thread across the wave,
I see frightening light from far,
Steal down path beyond the gravel
And now-bless God-its golden line
Comes Ger and lights my shadowy
way,
And shows the dear hand clasped in
mine;
But, list what those sweet voices say:
'tThe better lands in sight,
And, by its chastening light,
All love from lips midway is driven,
Save her whose clasped hand
Will bring thee on to Heavenr"

FAsHIoNABLE FoLLY.-The New York
fashionables are endeavoring to outdo
each other in the costliness of their eve
ming parties, and it is said that a lady's
dress that costs less than one thousand
dollars is considered quite a mean affair.
There is nothing more vulgar than the
attempt on the part of American ladies
to initiate the flunkeyism of rich trades
folks of England, who, being shut out
of aristocratic circles by blood outdo
them in extravagant waste of dollars in
all their entertainments, under the delu-
sion that they are thus elevating their
social position. A rich butcher of Lon
don, astonished the natives recently, by
in his carriage in his shirt
sleeves, with a coachman and footman
in elegant livery. Now he was man
of sense compared to the vulgar mob Of
fools who spend their money in laces at
one hundred dollars per yard, to be
crushed at an evening party made up of
silly women and young gentlemen in
white-kids, who never earned an honest
dollar, and are ashamed of their grand
father if he had happened to have been
a worthy soap-bOiler or mechanic.
There is nothing so foolish and weak as
the conduct of ''the upper ten in our
large cities, and no class is more i'm
and justly despised. The
whole time of managing mothers and
daughters is spent in making
a sale of their offspring and themselves
to the upstart rich-while to sustain
their folly their fathers are coming their
into dollars in Wall street. |
The happiness growing out of these
is easily measured. The noble |
son or noble daughter of an honest
farmer outranks in worth and greatness
4 whole ballroom full of such tinselled,
and heartless creatures.

E~Tbe wisdom of the iniunction nj

NThe wisdom of the injunction ut
tered by Sam Weller, Senior, ''to be-
ware of vidders,' is exemplifed by the
case of a youth, 10 years of age, de-
scribed as slim built and efieminate ap-
pearance, who is now in Kings county
Jail for having two more wives than the
law allows. His three wives were wild
ows, aged respectively, 80, 40 and 45
years. The first wife is trying to pro-
cure bail; the second is prosecuting him,
and the third is repining at his absence.
He alleges that in each case the widow
was the aggressor. Were he in Utah,
he might, in time, rival Gov. Young.

ExTREME TEsr.-If you wish to as
certain the temper of a young lady, look
at her nails, and the tips of her gloves.
Ii they are Jagged and much bitten, you
may be sure she is peevish, irritable,
quarreisome, and too ready to show her
teeth at the smallest provocation. This
Is an infalliable test that every ill-tem-
pered young lady carries at her fingers
